BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1. RCW 47.26.426 and 1981 c 315 s 11 are each amended to read as follows:
At
least one year prior to the date any interest is due and payable on such first
authorization bonds, series II bonds, and series III bonds or before the
maturity date of any such bonds, the state finance committee shall estimate,
subject to the provisions of RCW 47.26.425, 47.26.4252, and 47.26.4254 the
percentage of the receipts in money of the motor vehicle fund, resulting from
collection of excise taxes on motor vehicle and special fuels, for each month
of the year which shall be required to meet interest or bond payments hereunder
when due, and shall notify the state treasurer of such estimated requirement.
The state treasurer, subject to RCW 47.26.425, 47.26.4252, and 47.26.4254,
shall thereafter from time to time each month as such funds are paid into the
motor vehicle fund, transfer such percentage of the monthly receipts from
excise taxes on motor vehicle and special fuels of the motor vehicle fund to
the ((highway bond retirement fund)) transportation improvement board
bond retirement account, maintained in the office of the state treasurer,
which fund shall be available for payment of interest or bonds when due. If in
any month it shall appear that the estimated percentage of money so made is
insufficient to meet the requirements for interest or bond retirement, the
treasurer shall notify the state finance committee forthwith and such committee
shall adjust its estimates so that all requirements for interest and principal
of all bonds issued shall be fully met at all times.
Sec. 2. RCW 47.26.427 and 1979 c 5 s 11 are each amended to read as follows:
Whenever the percentage of the motor vehicle fund arising from
excise taxes on motor vehicle and special fuels payable into the ((highway
bond retirement fund)) transportation improvement board bond retirement
account, shall prove more than is required for the payment of interest on
bonds when due, or current retirement of bonds, any excess may, in the
discretion of the state finance committee, be available for the prior
redemption of any bonds or remain available in the fund to reduce the
requirements upon the fuel excise tax portion of the motor vehicle fund at the
next interest or bond payment period.
Sec. 3. RCW 47.26.507 and 1993 c 440 s 8 are each amended to read as follows:

in the fund to reduce the requirements upon the fuel excise tax portion of the
