EFFECT: Adds language to intent statement that the Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development (CTED) and the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) jointly submit the plan required under section 3.  Language regarding scope of the court review of the plan required under the litigation is moved from DSHS=s enabling statutes to the intent section.  Corrects a reference to reflect the proper date of the court=s order.    In addition to developing and administering its portion of the homelessness plan, DSHS must supervise and monitor its portion of the plan.  Changes dates regarding submission of plan to legislature: plan must be submitted September 1, 1999, and updates to the plan must be provided to the appropriate committees of the legislature each odd-numbered year through 2007.  Changes language regarding CTED=s homelessness data collection responsibilities to clarify that the responsibilities are ongoing.
