HB 1179

by Representatives Murray, Shabro, Wallace, Woods, Jarrett, Simpson, Springer, Dickerson, Quall, Armstrong, Kenney, Clibborn and McIntire; by request of Department of Transportation

Authorizing a pilot project for high-occupancy toll lanes.

Recognizes that the Puget Sound region is faced with growing traffic congestion and has limited ability to expand freeway capacity due to financial, environmental, and physical constraints. Freeway high-occupancy vehicle lanes have been an effective means of providing transit, vanpools, and carpools with a fast trip on congested freeway corridors, but in many cases, these lanes are themselves getting crowded during the peak commute times, while some are being underused at off-peak times.

Declares an intent to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the freeway system. To evaluate methods to accomplish this, it is beneficial to evaluate alternative approaches to managing the use of freeway high-occupancy vehicle lanes, including pilot projects to determine and demonstrate the effectiveness and benefits of implementing high-occupancy toll lanes.

Declares an intent of this act is to direct that the department of transportation, as a pilot project, develop and operate a high-occupancy toll lane on state route 167 in King county and to conduct an evaluation of that project to determine impacts on freeway efficiency, effectiveness for transit, feasibility of financing improvements through tolls, and the impacts on freeway users.

Finds that the creation of a heavy haul industrial corridor within port district property would dramatically improve the economy and efficiency of moving sealed ocean-going containers by allowing for permitted moves in excess of legal weight limits over relatively short distances.

Finds that the department of transportation has the expertise to analyze vehicle size and weight impacts on the infrastructure and determine the suitability of state highway segments to be heavy haul industrial corridors, set permitted weight limits within established parameters, and manage multijurisdictional agreements for maintenance and repair of the identified corridors.

Declares that the purpose of a heavy haul industrial corridor is to accommodate the movement of overweight sealed ocean-going containers over relatively short distances to complete transfer between ocean marine terminals and railheads.

HB 1199

by Representatives Pearson, O'Brien, Lovick, Kristiansen, Ahern, Rodne, Walsh, Buri, McDonald, Strow, Holmquist, Condotta and Priest

Modifying the collection of blood alcohol content evidence.

Finds and declares that: (1) The state has a compelling interest in preventing fatal vehicle accidents in this state;

(2) In order to prevent fatal vehicle accidents, it is necessary to analyze and understand the causes of such accidents, including the role played by alcohol;

(3) The state's compelling interest in preventing fatal vehicle accidents therefore creates a special need beyond normal law enforcement for the collection of evidence of blood alcohol content from drivers involved in fatal vehicle accidents; and

(4) Because evidence of blood alcohol content diminishes over time, requiring a warrant before that evidence can be collected would be impracticable and would frustrate the state's interest in collecting the information.

Provides that, in order to foster the prevention of fatal vehicle accidents, it is the intent of the legislature to: (1) Allow law enforcement officers to collect evidence of blood alcohol content from operators in fatal vehicle accidents; and

(2) Require hospitals to disclose evidence of blood alcohol content that they have collected from operators involved in fatal vehicle accidents to law enforcement.

Declares that a person who operates a vehicle within this state is deemed to have given consent, subject to RCW 46.61.506, to a test of his or her breath for the purpose of determining the alcohol concentration in his or her breath if the person is involved in a vehicle accident in which there has been a fatality.
