By Representative Mulliken

     On page 2, after line 13, insert the following:

     "NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 70.05 RCW to read as follows:

     Any fines or penalties collected pursuant to RCW 70.05.060 (3) shall be transmitted monthly by the district to the  state treasurer.  Quarterly, the treasurer shall disburse any amounts collected under this section to cities and counties.  The formula used to distribute the funds shall be based on the revenues that cities and counties would have received if the motor vehicle excise tax had not been repealed."

Correct the title.

EFFECT: Directs public health districts to forward fines and penalties to the state.  The state would then distribute the proceeds to cities and counties using a distribution formula based on how the motor vehicle excise tax was previously distributed.
