BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1   The December 4, 2002, capital study of the division of developmental disabilities residential habilitation centers by the joint legislative audit and review committee identifies options to dispose of excess property at Lakeland Village, Rainier School, and Yakima Valley School that would not impact current residential habilitation center operations.
     The legislature recognizes the importance of serving individuals with developmental disabilities in the communities in which they reside. The legislature finds that using these excess properties to provide services in the community will promote the integration and independence of individuals with developmental disabilities and will enable these individuals to avoid reliance on institutional services.
     The legislature finds that the life of Dan Thompson is exemplary of the contributions that persons with developmental disabilities can make to their communities and the enrichment they bring to all our lives when suitably served in the communities in which they reside.
     It is the intent of the legislature to allow use of the proceeds from these excess properties at residential habilitation centers to provide community-based services to persons with developmental disabilities and to place the proceeds into a perpetual trust account for persons with developmental disabilities who could be served by community-based developmental disability services.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2   A new section is added to chapter 71A.20 RCW to read as follows:
     (1) Excess property identified in the 2002 joint legislative audit and review committee capital study of the division of developmental disabilities residential habilitation centers must be managed to provide as much income as feasible and this income deposited into the developmental disabilities community trust account created in section 3 of this act. Income may come from lease of the land, conservation easements, sale of timber, or other activities short of sale of the property.
     (2) The department shall report on its efforts and strategies to provide income to the developmental disabilities community trust account from the excess property identified in subsection (1) of this section from the lease of the property, sale of timber, or other activity short of sale of the property. The department shall report by June 30, 2006.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3   A new section is added to chapter 71A.20 RCW to read as follows:
     The developmental disabilities community trust account is created in the state treasury. All income from the use of excess property identified in the 2002 joint legislative audit and review committee capital study of the division of developmental disabilities residential habilitation centers, any building, facility, or tract of land not held in trust at any of the residential habilitation centers identified in this chapter, or sale of timber on these excess lands, must be deposited into this account. Only investment income from the principal of the proceeds deposited into the trust account may be spent from the account. Investment income from the account may be spent only after appropriation and must be used solely for community developmental disability services for persons with developmental disabilities who can be served by community-based developmental disability services. Moneys in the account may not be used to supplant ongoing expenditures for community services to persons with developmental disabilities.
