     AN ACT Relating to creating the taxpayer choice act; adding a new section to chapter 43.79 RCW; and creating new sections.

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

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1   The legislature with this act intends to provide an option for taxpayers to voluntarily contribute more to state government. The legislature recognizes that citizens who desire to contribute more to finance state government should have a convenient way to do so and therefore the taxpayer choice account is created in the state treasury.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2   A new section is added to chapter 43.79 RCW to read as follows:
     The taxpayer choice account is created in the state treasury. All receipts from citizens' voluntary contributions, donations, gifts, bequests, grants, or other sources granted or given for this account must be deposited in the account. Money in the account may be spent only after appropriation. Expenditures from the account may be used for any general fund or transportation purpose.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3   This act may be known and cited as the taxpayer choice act.
