Establishing a pilot project to examine the use of instant runoff voting for nonpartisan offices.

        Finds that it is in the public interest to examine the use of a voting system that requires all victorious candidates to be elected with a majority vote rather than a plurality of effective votes, and allows voters to designate secondary and other preferences for potential tabulation, in accordance with specific procedures, if their first choice candidate does not receive a majority of the votes cast.

       Recognizes that the system known as instant runoff voting achieves these purposes.

       Proposes to examine whether voter interest and participation in elections will increase when instant runoff voting, a voting method that promotes additional voter choices and a more meaningful recognition of all voter selections, is used to elect nonpartisan candidates.

       Declares it is in the interest of participatory democracy for voters to be given the opportunity to vote for their first choice candidate while still making effective secondary choices among the remaining candidates.

       Declares an intent to authorize a limited pilot project to study the effects of using instant runoff voting as a local option for nonpartisan offices in any qualifying city.

Reducing air pollution from heavy duty diesel vehicles and large vessels.

       Recognizes that the air quality around idling heavy duty diesel vehicles and large vessels can contribute to unhealthy conditions.

       Recognizes that idling vehicles contribute to driver fatigue through exposure to noise, vibration, and elevated levels of carbon monoxide and other pollutants.

       Declares that the state can assist in the reduction of idling vehicles and vessels by providing infrastructure to support the use of auxiliary power through a system of stand-alone and on-board electrification projects.

       Declares an intent to provide assistance to owners and operators of heavy duty diesel vehicles and large vessels which contribute to areas of concentrated air pollution when operating their engines while in stationary positions such as truck stops and ports. The assistance will take the form of providing infrastructure to support the electrification of these facilities and seeking federal assistance to aid the owners and operators of vehicles and vessels to modify their equipment to accept auxiliary power when stationary.

       Declares an intent to support the initial electrification projects in areas where the current conditions are especially harmful to human health and where the emissions are generated in environmentally sensitive areas.

       Directs the department to develop, in consultation with local air authorities, the department of transportation, and the Washington public ports association, a list of prioritized sites where stand-alone electrification projects should be initiated for heavy duty diesel vehicles. The sites shall be selected in areas where these vehicles commonly operate their engines, while stationary, for lengthy periods of time.

       Provides that, in order to provide the legislature with additional information on cost and benefits of additional electrification projects, the department shall conduct a study regarding the development of on-board electrification projects for heavy duty diesel vehicles, ports, airports, or railyards.

       Provides that, in conducting the study, the department shall consider and identify: (1) The cost-effectiveness of each type of project in terms of the estimated amount of pollution prevented for the estimated amount of funding necessary to complete the project;

       (2) Which existing areas are suspected to be the greatest hazards to human health;

Providing for certification of certain state forest lands.

        Finds that all of the public lands granted to the state are held in trust and should be managed in a manner that enhances benefits in perpetuity.

        Finds that globalization of the wood products industry is changing the context for forest product marketing. New forest technologies in the world marketplace are creating a new model for production of the wood fiber needed to provide for wood products. Worldwide industrial forestry is migrating to an agronomic model of wood fiber production and away from traditional forestry models. In order for state timber to compete in the forest marketplace of the twenty-first century, strategic niche marketing must be employed.

        Finds that state timber revenues can be enhanced over time and given long-term stability by distinguishing state forest products from the competition in the market, thus providing sustainable revenue for trust beneficiaries into the future. This sustainable revenue can be realized by providing leadership in sustainable forestry and still providing ecological and social benefits to the public and local communities.

        Finds that certification of the state forest lands will ensure access to economically valuable markets for state forest products, increasing the benefits to the trust beneficiaries in both the short and long term.
