The appropriations in this section are provided for the location, design, right of way, and construction of state highway projects designated as category "C" under RCW 47.05.030. If Senate Bill No. 6464 is enacted, the motor vehicle fund‑-state appropriation shall be increased by $13,000,000.

(1) The motor vehicle fund‑-state appropriation will be funded with the proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized in RCW 47.10.801 in the amount of $93,455,000: PROVIDED, That the transportation commission in consultation with the legislative transportation committee may authorize the use of current revenues available to the department of transportation in lieu of bond proceeds for any part of the state appropriation.

The transportation commission shall adjust its list of category "C" projects to include only those projects that can be accomplished within the moneys provided in this appropriation.

It is the intent of the legislature that no moneys shall be expended on projects that are not included on the transportation commission's priority list for the 1987-89 biennium. It is further the intent of the legislature that the category "A" and "H" programs take precedence over category "C" projects and that the category "A" and "H" programs be fully funded in the 1989-91 biennium to the exclusion of category "C" projects as required under chapter 47.05 RCW.

It is the intent of the legislature that the department's category C preliminary engineering and right of way expenditures for unfunded list 4 projects shall not exceed $12,000,000.

It is the intent of the legislature that the maximum amount of state motor vehicle funds not required for other purposes be made available for category "C" program expenditures. If additional moneys become available, deferred funded list 4 category "C" project contracts shall not be awarded by the department without prior consultation with the legislative transportation committee.

No moneys may be expended on list 5 category "C" projects in the 1987-89 biennium.

(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section and to the extent that the motor vehicle fund‑-state receives additional revenues from the sale of department of transportation parcel number 32704447, $455,000 of the motor vehicle fund appropriation‑-state is provided solely for the construction of a loop ramp as described under program item number 351216A in the transportation commission category "C" program file.

(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, $750,000 of the motor vehicle fund appropriation‑-state is provided to the department of transportation to fund the state's share of the cost of a study to address traffic capacity and safety on Seattle's first avenue south bridge.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and shall take effect immediately.
