    On page 13, line 8, after "legislature.))" strike all material through "funding." on line 12 and insert the following:

    "The commission may impose a ferry fuel surcharge effective July 1, 2011.  When implementing a ferry fuel surcharge, the commission must regard ferry fuel surcharges as fare policy changes and thus, ferry fuel surcharges should be included in all public procedures and processes currently used for fare pricing per RCW 47.60.290."

EFFECT: Permits, rather than requires, the Transportation Commission to impose a ferry fuel surcharge effective July 1, 2011.  The surcharges should be subject to the public process required in law for fare pricing.
