BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that a periodic review of the accounts and their uses is necessary. While creating new accounts may facilitate the implementation of legislative intent, the creation of too many accounts limits the effectiveness of performance-based budgeting. Too many accounts also limit the flexibility of the legislature to address emerging and changing issues in addition to creating administrative burdens for the responsible agencies. Accounts created for specific purposes may no longer be valid or needed. Accordingly, this act eliminates accounts that are not in use or are unneeded and consolidates accounts that are similar in nature.
Sec. 2. RCW 43.84.092 and 1997 c 218 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) All earnings of investments of surplus balances in the state treasury shall be deposited to the treasury income account, which account is hereby established in the state treasury.
(2) The treasury income account shall be utilized to pay or receive funds associated with federal programs as required by the federal cash management improvement act of 1990. The treasury income account is subject in all respects to chapter 43.88 RCW, but no appropriation is required for refunds or allocations of interest earnings required by the cash management improvement act. Refunds of interest to the federal treasury required under the cash management improvement act fall under RCW 43.88.180 and shall not require appropriation. The office of financial management shall determine the amounts due to or from the federal government pursuant to the cash management improvement act. The office of financial management may direct transfers of funds between accounts as deemed necessary to implement the provisions of the cash management improvement act, and this subsection. Refunds or allocations shall occur prior to the distributions of earnings set forth in subsection (4) of this section.
(3) Except for the provisions of RCW 43.84.160, the treasury income account may be utilized for the payment of purchased banking services on behalf of treasury funds including, but not limited to, depository, safekeeping, and disbursement functions for the state treasury and affected state agencies. The treasury income account is subject in all respects to chapter 43.88 RCW, but no appropriation is required for payments to financial institutions. Payments shall occur prior to distribution of earnings set forth in subsection (4) of this section.
(4) Monthly, the state treasurer shall distribute the earnings credited to the treasury income account. The state treasurer shall credit the general fund with all the earnings credited to the treasury income account except:

Sec. 3. RCW 43.160.010 and 1996 c 51 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The legislature finds that it is the public policy of the state of Washington to direct financial resources toward the fostering of economic development through the stimulation of investment and job opportunities and the retention of sustainable existing employment for the general welfare of the inhabitants of the state. Reducing unemployment and reducing the time citizens remain jobless is important for the economic welfare of the state. A valuable means of fostering economic development is the construction of public facilities which contribute to the stability and growth of the state's economic base. Strengthening the economic base through issuance of industrial development bonds, whether single or umbrella, further serves to reduce unemployment. Consolidating issues of industrial development bonds when feasible to reduce costs additionally advances the state's purpose to improve economic vitality. Expenditures made for these purposes as authorized in this chapter are declared to be in the public interest, and constitute a proper use of public funds. A community economic revitalization board is needed which shall aid the development of economic opportunities. The general objectives of the board should include:
(a) Strengthening the economies of areas of the state which have experienced or are expected to experience chronically high unemployment rates or below average growth in their economies;
(b) Encouraging the diversification of the economies of the state and regions within the state in order to provide greater seasonal and cyclical stability of income and employment;
(c) Encouraging wider access to financial resources for both large and small industrial development projects;
(d) Encouraging new economic development or expansions to maximize employment;
(e) Encouraging the retention of viable existing firms and employment; and
(f) Providing incentives for expansion of employment opportunities for groups of state residents that have been less successful relative to other groups in efforts to gain permanent employment.
(2) The legislature also finds that the state's economic development efforts can be enhanced by, in certain instances, providing funds to improve state highways in the vicinity of new industries considering locating in this state or existing industries that are considering significant expansion.
(a) The legislature finds it desirable to provide a process whereby the need for diverse public works improvements necessitated by planned economic development can be addressed in a timely fashion and with coordination among all responsible governmental entities.
(b)
It is the intent of the legislature to create ((an economic development
account within)) a program funded by the motor vehicle fund from
which expenditures can be made by the department of transportation for state
highway improvements necessitated by planned economic development. All such
improvements must first be approved by the state transportation commission and
the community economic revitalization board in accordance with the procedures
established by RCW 43.160.074 and 47.01.280. It is further the intent of the
legislature that such improvements not jeopardize any other planned highway
construction projects. The improvements are intended to be of limited size and
cost, and to include such items as additional turn lanes, signalization,
illumination, and safety improvements.
(3) The legislature also finds that the state's economic development efforts can be enhanced by providing funds to improve markets for those recyclable materials representing a large fraction of the waste stream. The legislature finds that public facilities which result in private construction of processing or remanufacturing facilities for recyclable materials are eligible for consideration from the board.
(4) The legislature finds that sharing economic growth state-wide is important to the welfare of the state. Rural natural resource impact areas do not share in the economic vitality of the Puget Sound region. Infrastructure is one of several ingredients that are critical for economic development. Rural natural resource impact areas generally lack the infrastructure necessary to diversify and revitalize their economies. It is, therefore, the intent of the legislature to increase the availability of funds to help provide infrastructure to rural natural resource impact areas.

operations account ((transferred to the ferry system revolving account))
for maintenance and operation, and all moneys in the Puget Sound capital
construction account available for debt service will yield annual revenue and
income sufficient, after allowance for all operating, maintenance, and repair

Sec. 13. RCW 47.60.326 and 1990 c 42 s 406 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) In order to maintain an adequate, fair, and economically sound schedule of charges for the transportation of passengers, vehicles, and commodities on the Washington state ferries, the department of transportation each year shall conduct a full review of such charges.
(2) Prior to February 1st of each odd-numbered year the department shall transmit to the transportation commission a report of its review together with its recommendations for the revision of a schedule of charges for the ensuing biennium. The commission on or before July 1st of that year shall adopt as a rule, in the manner provided by the Washington administrative procedure act, a schedule of charges for the Washington state ferries for the ensuing biennium commencing July 1st. The schedule may initially be adopted as an emergency rule if necessary to take effect on, or as near as possible to, July 1st.
(3) The department in making its review and formulating recommendations and the commission in adopting a schedule of charges may consider any of the following factors:
(a) The amount of subsidy available to the ferry system for maintenance and operation;
(b) The time and distance of ferry runs;
(c) The maintenance and operation costs for ferry runs with a proper adjustment for higher costs of operating outmoded or less efficient equipment;
(d) The efficient distribution of traffic between cross-sound routes;
(e) The desirability of reasonable commutation rates for persons using the ferry system to commute daily to work;
(f) The effect of proposed fares in increasing walk-on and vehicular passenger use;
(g) The effect of proposed fares in promoting all types of ferry use during nonpeak periods;

revenues from the ((ferry system, together with the transfer from the))
Puget Sound ferry operations account ((to the ferry system revolving account))
and any other operating subsidy available to the Washington state ferries((,))
will be less than the projected total cost of maintenance and operation of the
Washington state ferries for the biennium, the department shall forthwith
undertake a review of its schedule of charges to ascertain whether or not the
schedule of charges should be revised. The department shall, upon completion
of its review report, submit its recommendation to the transportation
commission which may in its sound discretion revise the schedule of charges as
required to meet necessary maintenance and operation expenditures of the ferry
system for the biennium or may defer action until the regular annual review and
revision of ferry charges as provided in subsection (2) of this section.
(5) The provisions of RCW 47.60.330 relating to public participation shall apply to the process of revising ferry tolls under this section.
Sec. 14. RCW 47.60.440 and 1990 c 42 s 408 are each amended to read as follows:
The
Washington state ferry system shall be efficiently managed, operated, and
maintained as a revenue-producing undertaking. Subject to the provisions of
RCW 47.60.326 the commission shall maintain and revise from time to time as
necessary a schedule of tolls and charges on said ferry system ((and, if
necessary to comply with bond covenants, on the Hood Canal bridge which
together)) with ((any)) other moneys deposited in the
Puget Sound ferry operations account ((transferred to the ferry system
revolving account)) for maintenance and operation and all moneys in the
Puget Sound capital construction account available for debt service will
produce net revenue available for debt service, in each fiscal year, in an
amount at least equal to minimum annual debt service requirements as
hereinafter provided. Minimum annual debt service requirements as used in this
section shall include required payments of principal and interest, sinking fund
requirements, and payments into reserves on all outstanding revenue bonds authorized
by RCW 47.60.400 through 47.60.470.
The provisions of law relating to the revision of tolls and charges to meet minimum annual debt service requirements from net revenues as required by this section shall be binding upon the commission but shall not be deemed to constitute a contract to that effect for the benefit of the holders of such bonds.
