On page 38, beginning on line 7 of the amendment, strike all of section 302 and insert the following:
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 302.  "This act takes effect on the date that the Washington state supreme court issues a mandate in McCleary v. State or other litigation declaring that the state is in compliance with its paramount duty under Article IX, section 1 of the state Constitution to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste, or sex. The attorney general must provide notice of the effective date of this act to affected parties, the chief clerk of the house of representatives, the secretary of the senate, the office of the code reviser, and others as deemed appropriate by the attorney general."
Correct the title.
