   On page 7, after line 1, insert the following:

   "NEW SECTION. Sec. 12. (1) The department of ecology must secure an agreement in writing from the California air resources board that the operations of the air resources board conform to the requirements of the following acts of the state of Washington:

   (a) the regulatory fairness act codified in 19.85 RCW;

   (b) the administrative procedures act codified in 34.05 RCW;

   (c) the state register act codified in 34.08 RCW;

   (d) preservation of public records requirements codified in 40.14 RCW;

   (e) the open public records act codified in 42.17 RCW;

   (f) provisions of law relating to the misconduct of public officers codified in 42.20;
