MOTION

      Senator Sutherland moved that the following amendment by Senators Sutherland and Hochstatter be adopted:

      Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

       "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter.

       (1) "Bondable conservation investment" means all expenditures made by electrical, gas, or water companies with respect to energy or water conservation measures and services intended to improve the efficiency of electricity, gas, or water end use, including related carrying costs if:

       (a) The conservation measures and services do not produce assets that would be bondable utility property under the general utility mortgage of the electrical, gas, or water company;

       (b) The commission has determined that the expenditures were incurred in conformance with the terms and conditions of a conservation service tariff in effect with the commission at the time the costs were incurred, and at the time of such determination the commission finds that the company has proven that the costs were prudent, that the terms and conditions of the financing are reasonable, and that financing under this chapter is more favorable to the customer than other reasonably available alternatives;

       (c) The commission has approved inclusion of the expenditures in rate base and has not ordered that they be currently expensed; and

       (d) The commission has not required that the measures demonstrate that energy savings have persisted at a certain level for a certain period before approving the cost of these investments as bondable conservation investment.

       (2) "Conservation bonds" means bonds, notes, certificates of beneficial interests in trusts, or other evidences of indebtedness or ownership that:

       (a) The commission determines at or before the time of issuance are issued to finance or refinance bondable conservation investment by an electrical, gas or water company; and

       (b) Rely partly or wholly for repayment on conservation investment assets and revenues arising with respect thereto.

       (3) "Conservation investment assets" means the statutory right of an electrical, gas, or water company:

       (a) To have included in rate base all of its bondable conservation investment and related carrying costs; and

       (b) To receive through rates revenues sufficient to recover the bondable conservation investment and the costs of equity and debt capital associated with it, including, without limitation, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on conservation bonds.

       (4) "Finance subsidiary" means any corporation, company, association, joint stock association, or trust that is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by an electrical, gas, or water company, or in the case of a trust issuing conservation bonds consisting of beneficial interests, for which an electrical, gas, or water company or a subsidiary thereof is the grantor, or an unaffiliated entity formed for the purpose of financing or refinancing approved conservation investment, and that acquires conservation investment assets directly or indirectly from such company in a transaction approved by the commission.

       NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. (1) An electrical, gas, or water company may file a conservation service tariff with the commission. The tariff shall provide:

       (a) The terms and conditions upon which the company will offer the conservation measures and services specified in the tariff;

       (b) The period of time during which the conservation measures and services will be offered; and

       (c) The maximum amount of expenditures to be made during a specified time period by the company on conservation measures and services specified in the tariff.

       (2) The commission has the same authority with respect to a proposed conservation service tariff as it has with regard to any other schedule or classification the effect of which is to change any rate or charge, including, without limitation, the power granted by RCW 80.04.130 to conduct a hearing concerning a proposed conservation service tariff and the reasonableness and justness thereof, and pending such hearing and the decision thereon the commission may suspend the operation of the tariff for a period not exceeding ten months from the time the tariff would otherwise go into effect.

       (3) An electrical, gas, or water company may from time to time apply to the commission for a determination that specific expenditures may under its tariff constitute bondable conservation investment. A company may request this determination by the commission in separate proceedings for this purpose or in connection with a general rate case. The commission may designate the expenditures as bondable conservation investment as defined in section 1(1) of this act if it finds that such designation is in the public interest.

       (4) The commission shall include in rate base all bondable conservation investment. The commission shall approve rates for service by electrical, gas, and water companies at levels sufficient to recover all of the expenditures of the bondable conservation investment included in rate base and the costs of equity and debt capital associated therewith, including, without limitation, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on conservation bonds. The rates so determined may be included in general rate schedules or may be expressed in one or more separate rate schedules. The commission shall not revalue bondable conservation investment for rate-making purposes, to determine that revenues required to recover bondable conservation investment and associated equity and debt capital costs are unjust, unreasonable, or in any way impair or reduce the value of conservation investment assets or that would impair the timing or the amount of revenues arising with respect to conservation investment assets that have been pledged to secure conservation bonds.

       (5) Nothing in this chapter precludes the commission from adopting or continuing other conservation policies and programs intended to provide incentives for and to encourage utility investment in improving the efficiency of energy or water end use. However, the policies or programs shall not impair conservation investment assets. This chapter is not intended to be an exclusive or mandatory approach to conservation programs for electrical, gas, and water companies, and no such company is obligated to file conservation service tariffs under this chapter, to apply to the commission for a determination that conservation costs constitute bondable conservation investment within the meaning of this chapter, or to issue conservation bonds.

       (6)(a) If a customer of an electrical, gas, or water company for whose benefit the company made expenditures for conservation measures or services ceases to be a customer of such company for one or more of the following reasons, the commission may require that the portion of such conservation expenditures that had been included in rate base but not theretofore recovered in the rates of such company be removed from the rate base of the company:

       (i) The customer ceases to be a customer of the supplier of energy or water, and the customer repays to the company the portion of the conservation expenditures made for the benefit of such customer that has not theretofore been recovered in rates of the company; or

       (ii) The company sells its property used to serve such customer and the customer ceases to be a customer of the company as a result of such action.

       (b) An electrical, gas, or water company may include in a contract for a conservation measure or service, and the commission may by rule or order require to be included in such contracts, a provision requiring that, if the customer ceases to be a customer of that supplier of energy or water, the customer shall repay to the company the portion of the conservation expenditures made for the benefit of such customer that has not theretofore been recovered in rates of the company.

       NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. (1) Electrical, gas, and water companies, or finance subsidiaries, may issue conservation bonds upon approval by the commission.

       (2) Electrical, gas, and water companies, or finance subsidiaries may pledge conservation investment assets as collateral for conservation bonds by obtaining an order of the commission approving an issue of conservation bonds and providing for a security interest in conservation investment assets. A security interest in conservation investment assets is created and perfected only upon entry of an order by the commission approving a contract governing the granting of the security interest and the filing with the department of licensing of a UCC-1 financing statement, showing such pledgor as "debtor" and identifying such conservation investment assets and the bondable conservation investment associated therewith. The security interest is enforceable against the debtor and all third parties, subject to the rights of any third parties holding security interests in the conservation investment assets perfected in the manner described in this section, if value has been given by the purchasers of conservation bonds. An approved security interest in conservation investment assets is a continuously perfected security interest in all revenues and proceeds arising with respect to the associated bondable conservation investment, whether or not such revenues have accrued. Upon such approval, the priority of such security interest shall be as set forth in the contract governing the conservation bonds. Conservation investment assets constitute property for the purposes of contracts securing conservation bonds whether or not the related revenues have accrued.

       (3) The relative priority of a security interest created under this section is not defeated or adversely affected by the commingling of revenues arising with respect to conservation investment assets with other funds of the debtor. The holders of conservation bonds shall have a perfected security interest in all cash and deposit accounts of the debtor in which revenues arising with respect to conservation investment assets pledged to such holders have been commingled with other funds, but such perfected security interest is limited to an amount not greater than the amount of such revenues received by the debtor within twelve months before (a) any default under the conservation bonds held by the holders or (b) the institution of insolvency proceedings by or against the debtor, less payments from such revenues to the holders during such twelve-month period. If an event of default occurs under an approved contract governing conservation bonds, the holders of conservation bonds or their authorized representatives, as secured parties, may foreclose or otherwise enforce the security interest in the conservation investment assets securing the conservation bonds, subject to the rights of any third parties holding prior security interests in the conservation investment assets perfected in the manner provided in this section. Upon application by the holders of their representatives, without limiting their other remedies, the commission shall order the sequestration and payment to the holders or their representatives of revenues arising with respect to the conservation investment assets pledged to such holders. Any such order shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any bankruptcy, reorganization, or other insolvency proceedings with respect to the debtor. Any surplus in excess of amounts necessary to pay principal, premium, if any, interest, and expenses arising under the contract governing the conservation bonds shall be remitted to the debtor electrical, gas, or water company or the debtor finance subsidiary.

       (4) The granting, perfection, and enforcement of security interests in conservation investment assets to secure conservation bonds is governed by this chapter rather than by chapter 62A.9 RCW

       (5) A transfer of conservation investment assets by an electrical, gas, or water company to a finance subsidiary, which such parties have in the governing documentation expressly stated to be a sale or other absolute transfer, in a transaction approved in an order issued by the commission and in connection with the issuance by such finance subsidiary of conservation bonds, shall be treated as a true sale, and not as a pledge or other financing, of such conservation investment assets. According the holders of conservation bonds a preferred right to revenues of the electrical, gas, or water company, or the provision by such company of other credit enhancement with respect to conservation bonds, does not impair or negate the characterization of any such transfer as a true sale.

       (6) Any successor to an electrical, gas, or water company pursuant to any bankruptcy, reorganization, or other insolvency proceeding shall perform and satisfy all obligations of the company under an approved contract governing conservation bonds, in the same manner and to the same extent as such company before any such proceeding, including, without limitation, collecting and paying to the bondholders or their representatives revenues arising with respect to the conservation investment assets pledged to secure the conservation bonds.

       NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. (1) Costs incurred before the effective date of this section by electrical, gas, or water companies with respect to energy or water conservation measures and services intended to improve the efficiency of energy or water end use shall constitute bondable conservation investment for purposes of sections 1 through 4 of this act, if:

       (a) The commission has previously issued a rate order authorizing the inclusion of such costs in rate base; and

       (b) The commission authorizes the issuance of conservation bonds secured by conservation investment assets associated with such costs.

       (2) If costs incurred before the effective date of this section by electrical, gas, or water companies with respect to energy or water conservation measures intended to improve the efficiency of energy or water end use have not previously been considered by the commission for inclusion in rate base, an electrical, gas, or water company may apply to the commission for approval of such costs. If the commission finds that the expenditures are a bondable conservation investment, the commission shall by order designate such expenditures as bondable conservation investment, which shall be subject to sections 1 through 4 of this act.

       NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. Sections 1 through 4 of this act are each added to chapter 80.28 RCW."

POINT OF INQUIRY

      Senator Cantu: "Senator Vognild, I'm sorry that I hadn't thought about this, but in looking at the materials, it indicates that the entire plan does not have to be submitted. I think in order for the public to have a visibility of what the total plan is, whether or not it all gets implemented is a different question. Were there discussions in committee that indicated that the RTA would actually develop kind of a comprehensive plan, but take the bits and pieces to the voters so that they would have some idea how this all would be integrated?"

      Senator Vognild: "Yes, Senator, that is the intent of this. They will develop a total plan. The difference is, under current law, that total plan must be approved at one time by the voters, possibly as much as twelve billion dollars. There are many pieces of that plan that can work by themselves. This will now allow them to submit those pieces to the voters as one part of the total plan. The voters, effectively, can pick and choose what they want and what they want to pay for."

      WHEREAS, The United States Senate Committee on Education and Labor has reported that eighty-five percent of older Americans have chronic diseases that could be helped by nutritional interventions; and

      WHEREAS, Research has shown that poor nutrition leads to an impaired immune system, aggravated infections, organ and multi-organ system failure, prolonged hospitalizations, and catastrophic health care costs; and

      WHEREAS, Nutritional status is a basic "vital sign" because illness starts at the cellular level, and food nourishes the body at the cellular level; and

      WHEREAS, Routine nutritional screening and early intervention is essential in order to prevent the devastating results of poor nutrition, lower health care costs, and improve quality of life; and

      WHEREAS, Awareness and understanding of warning signs of poor nutritional health can help individuals take responsibility to reform their eating habits and lifestyles; and

      WHEREAS, Good nutrition helps keep people healthy, active, and independent; and

      WHEREAS, Health care providers need to educate the public regarding risk factors and warning signs of poor nutritional health, and help them take responsibility for improving their eating habits and lifestyles in order to promote health, prevent illness, and reduce health care costs; and

      WHEREAS, The 1988 Surgeon General's Workshop on Health Promotion and Aging and the 1990 Department of Health and Human Services Report "Healthy People 2000" called for a stepped up, coordinated national effort to promote routine nutrition screening and early intervention in America; and

      WHEREAS, The Nutrition Screening Initiative is a direct outgrowth of the government's call which is a multifaceted, multidisciplinary approach to promote routine nutrition screening, early intervention, and better nutritional care into health care practice; and

      WHEREAS, The Nutrition Screening Initiative is a project of the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Dietetic Association, and the National Council on the Aging, Inc. and is supported by more than twenty-eight key organizations and professionals from the fields of nutrition, medicine, and aging along with a technical advisory committee that plays an important role in guiding the effort; and

      WHEREAS, The goals of the Nutrition Screening Initiative are to: Promote and expand existing quality nutrition screening in the nation's health care system; move to incorporate the widespread use of nutrition screening in health and medical care settings; and expand educational outreach to medical and health care professionals, the public, and policy makers;

      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State Senate support the Nutrition Screening Initiative, its goals and objectives;

Creating the Warren Featherstone Reid award for excellence in health care.

      The bill was read the second time.

MOTION

      On motion of Senator Talmadge, the rules were suspended, Senate Bill No. 6516 was advanced to third reading, the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.

REMARKS BY SENATOR TALMADGE

      Senator Talmadge: "Thank you, Madam President and members of the Senate. Sometimes you have an obligation as a committee chairman to do your duty and handle particular pieces of legislation and other times you get to do something that really constitutes a pleasure. Senator West had a bill relating to the idea of an award for quality service in the health care system and we were trying to think of someone after whom we could appropriately name this particular award to be offered by the Governor to someone in our state. It came to our attention and thought process that there could be no one better to name this award after than Warren Featherstone Reid.

      "Featherstone Reid is known, I think, to many of you out here on the floor. For those of you that don't know him, you should know that he is someone who grew up in the Wenatchee area, served on the staff of the Legislature in the 1950's and into the early 1960's and then, thereafter, was an assistant to United States Senator Warren Magnuson, in the United State Senate, both in his tenure as Chair of the United States Senate Commerce Committee and in his tenure as President Pro Tempore of the Senate. He also served with Senator Mark Hatfield when Senator Hatfield chaired the Appropriations Committee. He came back to the state of Washington and served as staff counsel to the Senate Ways and Means Committee during the tenure of Jim McDermott as Chair of that committee and the tenure of Dan McDonald as chair of that committee. Thereafter, Feather worked for the Governor's Office in the Office of Financial Management on health care matters.

      "We have received a variety of letters from a variety of people who have indicated what Feather Reid has done for the state of Washington, both as to public health as to access to health care, both in the rural parts of the state and the urban parts of the state and in the area of bio-medical research. Dr. Jack Lein from the University of Washington indicated that the University of Washington status as a premier institution in bio-medial research would not have been possible, had it not been for the quiet work of Feather Reid. The efforts on rural health care would not have been met had we not had those efforts by this quiet and modest man. We've had a variety of letters from people like Jim McDermott, Mike Kreidler, Dr. Lein and Lloyd Meeds, a former member of Congress.

      "The one thing that I wanted to relate to the members on the floor was something that occurred in the committee when we heard testimony on the bill. A lot of us know Dave Broderick. Dave is the lobbyist for the Washington Hospital Association, not known to be a softie at heart, but when he came before the committee to testify on this bill, Dave choked up and couldn't go forward with his testimony. He felt so emotional about this award and about the amazing things that this individual that we will name this award after, has been able to accomplish over a life-time of commitment to public service.

      "It is real pleasant to be able to do something, Madam President, for someone while they are alive. Feather is not dead; we're not naming this as a memorial, but rather it is a living tribute to someone who has been dedicated to the state of Washington in a capacity of serving the Legislature of the state of Washington, the Executive Branch of the state of Washington, and the Federal Congressional Legislature as well. It is truly a pleasure to be able to commend this bill to the members of the Senate."

REMARKS BY SENATOR WEST

      Senator West: "Thank you, Madam President and members of the Senate. This is a bill that will recognize the best and the brightest in the health care field providers. As we continue to grapple and improve our health care system in America, but particularly in the state of Washington, it is important to recognize those providers that do the right thing--do a good job. You know, have high achievements and consumer satisfaction, high achievements in quality and high achievements in cost efficiency--innovation and leadership and other factors. I can think of nobody more fitting to name the award after than Featherstone Reid.

      "As was mentioned, he is a quiet and modest man. He would never take credit for anything. He would always lay up the options for decisions and then he would look at you and kind of get a twinkle in his eyes. You would ask him, 'Feather, what do you think I should do,' and he would kind of lean back in his chair and say, 'Well, Senator, I don't have to make that decision, that's for you to do; I didn't get elected.' Again, I think if we are going to hold up the best and the brightest, I think people will be proud to earn this award and I think that many will aspire to it and they will be proud to display it on their wall or wherever with the name of Featherstone Reid on it. I would commend this to the Senate and ask for your approval."

REMARKS BY SENATOR SELLAR

      Senator Sellar: "Thank you, Madam President. I, too, would like to add to the accolades for the person for whom this award is being named after. Warren Featherstone Reid and I went to high school together in Wenatchee. We were good friends then and had some good rivalry between ourselves and I really think it is a privilege to have enjoyed his comments and company through the years when our paths have passed. I agree that he is an unusual and unique person and I feel very honored that I have had the opportunity to enjoy conversations with him. I think this is a marvelous way to add to those accolades. Thank you very much."

REMARKS BY SENATOR McDONALD

      Senator McDonald: "Sounds like we are giving an eulogy and certainly we aren't, because he is very much alive and with us. I think the one thing about being in the Legislature is the somewhat unique personalities that you run across every once in a while. 'Unique' has got to be Featherstone Reid, because how else can you explain being on the staff of Warren Magnuson, Jim McDermott and Dan McDonald. The way he was able to do that was because he gave good consul--wise consul. He always was terribly honest with you and as Senator West pointed out, he would finally say, 'And that is your choice, Senator.' I think he is a unique personality; I think this a fitting tribute to a very much live person and somebody that I think very highly of, but I think that anybody that has been in contact with him thinks as well."

      The President declared the question before the Senate to be the roll call on the final passage of Senate Bill No 6516.

POINT OF INQUIRY

      Senator Anderson: "Senator Pelz, in the summary that we have in front of us of the proposed substitute, it references basic education funds. Are we using basic ed funds to fund this program and if we are can you explain how that mechanism works?"

      Senator Pelz: "Yes, the department--DJR will administer the program. They will set up a grant program to contract with school districts. The school districts shall apply their basic education dollars to the education of the children involved, so if the child is not in school the basic ed dollars will not flow. The basic ed dollars are not impacted by this bill. This bill speaks to--and it is null and voided--but the bill speaks to the grant program run by DJR to allow school districts some additional case management and other activities with the child while they are enrolling a child in an educational program, and it is the education program that those basic ed dollars flow to. If the child is not enrolled in school, the basic ed dollars do not flow."

POINT OF INQUIRY

      Senator Roach: "Senator Quigley, I am just reading lines fourteen through nineteen and I am wondering a couple of things. What is the current law in relation to 'may summarily suspend a license or permit for a period of up to thirty days without a prior hearing?' What is the current law, that is my first question."

      Senator Quigley: "Senator Roach, I had a feeling that someone would be careful and ask this question and I contacted staff and have been informed this simply reflects exiting law."

Then, in addition, we create a Liquor Review Board, a five person Liquor Review Board, that meets on an as-need basis, is paid a per diem, to handle appeals and administrative claims."

      Senator Cantu: "O.K., but that's added; we do not do away with the Liquor Control Board or the existing agency? We're adding another one?"

      (2) The Governor's Task Force on Regulatory Reform, created by executive order 93-06, shall review and make recommendations regarding the consolidation of the following boards into a single board with jurisdiction over such land use and environmental decisions as such boards collectively exercise under current law:

      (a) Pollution control hearings board;

      (c) Shorelines hearings board;

      (d) Hydraulics appeals board; and

      (e) Forest practices appeals board.

      The Task Force shall review the caseloads, staffing, and appeal procedures of such boards, as well as current and anticipated caseloads in view of future regulatory, planning or other requirements likely to impact the caseloads of such boards. The Task Force shall include in its review the anticipated impact on such boards of the implementations of recommendations that the Task Force may make regarding the integration of environmental and land use laws, appeals and litigation processes, as described in subsection (1).

      (3) The Task Force shall include the results of its review in a report to the Governor and the standing committees of the legislature on environmental and judiciary matters on or before December 1, 1994. The report shall include recommendations on whether such board consolidation may achieve administrative efficiencies while ensuring timely resolution of all matters which may be considered by such a board.
