Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The Washington state institute for public policy has completed numerous studies that provide data, trends, and evaluations of community-based youth violence prevention projects. Related research shows that healthy, stable families are often the best line of defense against juvenile crime. A wide variety of research can be useful to the joint legislative audit and review committee and other members of the legislature.

The joint legislative audit and review committee shall review and analyze research, including research done by the Washington state institute for public policy, that identifies programs that can be implemented by local jurisdictions, are cost beneficial to the state, and are effective at preserving families and reducing crime committed by youth who are eleven to eighteen years of age. The joint legislative audit and review committee shall report their analysis on the success, cost benefits, and outcomes of the programs to the legislature by September 1, 2005.

The joint legislative audit and review committee shall also develop and report options regarding financial and other incentives that encourage local government investment in community-based research proven preventive and early intervention programs that reduce juvenile crime and preserve families. Among the incentives that must be considered are those that reimburse local governments for a portion of the savings that accrue to the state as the result of local government investment in such programs."
