By Representative B. Thomas

     On page 3, beginning on line 27, strike section 3 and insert:

     "NEW SECTION. Sec. 3.  The department shall not deny exemptions under RCW 82.08.02565 or 82.12.02565 solely on the basis of failure to comply with duplicate certificate or summary filing requirements.  The amendments of RCW 82.08.02565 or 82.12.02565 in this act do not terminate requirements to file duplicate certificates or summaries in respect to exemptions claimed for periods before January 1, 1999.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 4.  Sections 1 and 2 of this act take effect January 1, 1999."

     Correct the title.

EFFECT: Delays elimination of duplicate certificate and summary filing requirements until January 1, 1999.  Clarifies that an exemption cannot be denied merely because the duplicates were not filed.
