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

Sec. 1. Section 401, chapter 271, Laws of 1989 and RCW 69.50.520 are each amended to read as follows:

The drug enforcement and education account is created in the state treasury. All designated receipts from RCW 66.24.210(4), 66.24.290(3), 69.50.505(f)(2)(i)(C), 82.08.150(5), 82.24.020(2), 82.64.020, and section 420, chapter 271, Laws of 1989 shall be deposited into the account. Expenditures from the account may be used only for funding services and programs under ((~~this act~~)) chapter 271, Laws of 1989. Expenditures shall be used for funding new programs or new levels of existing program activities and may not be used to supplant funds provided for programs funded from other sources on July 1, 1989.

Sec. 2. Section 408, chapter 271, Laws of 1989 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

The sum of ten million dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary, is appropriated for the biennium ending June 30, 1991, from the drug enforcement and education account to the superintendent of public instruction to support school district substance abuse awareness programs provided under ((~~sections 310 through 313 of this act~~)) RCW 28A.120.080 through 28A.120.086. The superintendent of public instruction shall require that any grants provided to school districts or educational service districts under this section be used to increase prevention and intervention services related to drug and alcohol abuse above the level of services provided by the district for the 1988-89 school year. Furthermore, except as provided in this section, no portion of this appropriation expended for state administrative costs may be used to supplant administrative moneys previously used by the superintendent of public instruction for state level activities related to drug and alcohol education or prevention and intervention programs. A reasonable portion of this appropriation, but no more than is necessary, may be used to evaluate and monitor the programs funded by this section.

It is the intent of the legislature that one-time grants provided to school districts from appropriations under this section do not meet the criteria for levy reduction funds under RCW 84.52.0531 and shall not be deemed to be levy reduction funds.

Sec. 3. Section 411, chapter 271, Laws of 1989 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

The sum of three million dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary, is appropriated for the biennium ending June 30, 1991, from the drug enforcement and education account to the superintendent of public instruction for matching grants to enhance security in secondary schools. School districts which apply for such grants shall ensure that no more than seventy-five percent of the district's total expenditures for school security in any school year are supported by the grant amounts. The grants shall be expended solely for the costs of employing or contracting for building security monitors in secondary schools during school hours and school events. Of the amount appropriated in this section, a minimum of two million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars is provided for grants to districts that, during the 1988-89 school year, employed or contracted for security monitors in schools during school hours. However, the grants may be used only for increases in school district expenditures for school security over expenditure levels for the 1988-89 school year.

It is the intent of the legislature that grants provided to school districts from appropriations under this section do not meet the criteria for levy reduction funds under RCW 84.52.0531 and shall not be deemed to be levy reduction funds.
