HB 2195 - DIGEST

     Finds that, whereas the supreme court has ruled that the provisions of chapter 47.46 RCW are constitutional, the legislature intends to use all relevant provisions of the agreement developed under that chapter that were not otherwise invalidated by the supreme court, including but not limited to the selection of the design-build contractor for the Tacoma Narrows bridge toll project and the negotiated fixed price for all design, engineering, and construction.

     Authorizes the state transportation commission, in its lawful capacity as the state's toll bridge authority, to impose tolls consistent with chapter 47.56 RCW and, if necessary or desirable, chapter 47.58 RCW, for projects that have been selected and developed under chapter 47.46 RCW.

     Repeals RCW 47.56.271.
