On page 2, beginning on line 19, strike all of section 2 and insert the following:
"Sec. 2 RCW 43.372.070 and 2010 c 145 s 10 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1) The marine resources stewardship trust account is created in
the state treasury. All receipts from income derived from the
investment of amounts credited to the account, any grants, gifts, or
donations to the state for the purposes of marine management planning,
marine spatial planning, data compilation, research, or monitoring, and
any appropriations made to the account must be deposited in the
account. Moneys in the account may be spent only after appropriation.
(2) Expenditures from the account may only be used for the purposes
of marine management planning, marine spatial planning, research,
monitoring, implementation of the marine management plan, and for the
restoration or enhancement of marine habitat or resources.
(3) When moneys are deposited into the marine resources stewardship
trust account, the governor must provide recommendations on
expenditures from the account to the appropriate committees of the
legislature prior to the next regular legislative session. The
recommended projects and activities must be consistent with:
(a) The allowable uses of the marine resources stewardship trust
account; and
(b) The priority areas identified in the west coast governor's
agreement on ocean health, entered into on September 18, 2006, and
recognized in section 1 of this act."
Correct the title.
EFFECT: Inserts the exact language from the underlying bill relating to the marine resources stewardship trust account into the section of code creating the marine resources stewardship trust account.
