The appropriation((s)) in this section ((~~are~~)) is provided for management and support of the marine transportation division of the department of transportation and for the operation and maintenance of the state ferry system.

The appropriation((s)) in this section ((~~are~~)) is subject to the following conditions and limitations:

(1) The appropriation((~~s are~~)) is based on the budgeted expenditure of $15,525,251 for vessel operating fuel in the 1987-89 biennium. If the actual cost of fuel is less than this budgeted amount, the excess amount shall not be expended. If the actual cost exceeds this amount, it is the intent of the legislature that the department will request a supplemental appropriation.

(2) Prior to the expenditure of any funds budgeted for additional passenger-only service, the department of transportation shall obtain approval from the legislative transportation committee. If the additional passenger-only service is not approved, the funds appropriated in this section for that purpose shall not be expended for any other purpose.

(3) For the period from July 1, 1987, up to the actual implementation date of the 1987-89 biennial salary increase for employees under the jurisdiction of the state personnel board, no increases in the hourly wage rates of ferry employees, as ferry employee is defined in RCW 47.64.011(5), shall be included in the base hourly wage rates used for future salary increase calculations.

(4) The appropriation contained in this section provides for the compensation of ferry employees, including increases. The expenditures for compensation paid to ferry employees during the 1987-89 biennium shall not exceed $105,210,000 plus a dollar amount, as prescribed by the office of financial management, which is equal to any insurance benefit increase granted general government employees in excess of $167 a month annualized per eligible marine employee multiplied by the number of eligible marine employees for fiscal year 1989. For the purposes of this section, the expenditures for compensation paid to ferry employees shall be limited to salaries and wages and employee benefits as defined in the office of financial management's policies, regulations, and procedures named under objects of expenditure "A" and "L" (7.2.6.2). Of the $105,210,000 provided for compensation, plus the prescribed insurance benefit increase dollar amount:

(a) A maximum of $678,000 may be used to increase compensation costs, effective January 1, 1988;

(b) The prescribed insurance benefit increase dollar amount may be used to increase compensation costs, effective July 1, 1988;

(c) A maximum of $2,145,000 shall be used to maintain any 1987-88 compensation increase and may be used to increase compensation costs, effective January 1, 1989.

In no event may the June 30, 1988, hourly salary rate increase exceed any salary rate increase granted during the 1987-88 fiscal year.

In no event may the June 30, 1989, hourly salary rate increase exceed any salary rate increase granted during the 1988-89 fiscal year.

(5) To the extent that ferry employees by bargaining unit have absorbed the required offset of wage increases by the amount that the employer's contribution for employees' and dependents' insurance and health care plans exceeds that of other state general government employees in the 1985-87 biennium, employees will not be required to absorb a further offset except to the extent the differential between employer contributions for those employees and all other state general government employees increases during the 1987-89 biennium. If the differential increases or the 1985-87 offset by bargaining unit is insufficient to meet the required deduction, the amount available for compensation shall be reduced by bargaining unit by the amount of such increase or the 1985-87 shortage in the required offset.

(6) The department of transportation shall provide the legislative transportation committee with a monthly report concerning the status of this program.

(7) In the event that revenues available to the ferry system fund are not sufficient to support the expenditures necessary for the operation and maintenance of the state ferry system, the department may transfer funds from the Puget Sound ferry operations account to the ferry system fund.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 75. If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 76. 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.
