    Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

    "Sec. 1.  RCW 36.22.110 and 1963 c 4 s 36.22.110 are each amended to read as follows:

    The person holding the office of county auditor, or deputy, or performing its duties, shall not practice as an attorney or represent any person who is making any claim against the county, or who is seeking to procure any legislative or other action by the board of county commissioners.  ((The county auditor, during his term of office, and any deputy appointed by him is disqualified from performing the duties of any other county officer or acting as deputy for any other county officer.  Nor shall any other county officer or his deputy act as auditor or deputy, or perform any of the duties of said office.))"
