Referred to Committee on Government Operations.
Making
population determinations and projections.
AN ACT Relating to
population determinations and projections by the office of financial
management; amending RCW 43.62.035; and declaring an emergency.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE
LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1. RCW 43.62.035 and 1991
sp.s. c 32 s 30 are each amended to read as follows:
The office of financial
management shall determine the population of each county of the state annually
as of April 1st of each year and on or before July 1st of each year shall file
a certificate with the secretary of state showing its determination of the
population for each county. The office of financial management also shall
determine the percentage increase in population for each county over the
preceding ten-year period, as of April 1st, and shall file a certificate with
the secretary of state by July 1st showing its determination. At least once
every ten years the office of financial management shall prepare twenty-year
growth management planning population projections required by RCW 36.70A.110
for each county that adopts a comprehensive plan under RCW 36.70A.040 and shall
review these projections with such counties and the cities in those counties
before final adoption. The county and its cities may provide to the office
such information as they deem relevant to the office's projection, and the
office shall consider and comment on such information before adoption. Each
projection shall be expressed as a reasonable range developed within the
standard state high and low projection. The middle range shall represent the
office's estimate of the most likely population projection for the county. If
any city or county believes that a projection will not accurately reflect
actual population growth in a county, it may petition the office to revise the
projection accordingly. The office shall complete the first set of ranges for
every county by December 31, 1995.
A comprehensive plan
adopted or amended before December 31, 1995, shall not be considered to be in
noncompliance with the twenty-year growth management planning population
projection if the projection used in the comprehensive plan is in compliance
with the range later adopted under this section.
NEW SECTION. Sec.
2. This act is necessary for
the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support
of the state government and its existing public institutions, and shall take
effect immediately.
