"Sec. 1. RCW 48.42.060 and 1984 c 56 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
The legislature ((takes notice of the increasing number of proposals for the)) finds that there is a continued interest in mandating ((of)) certain health coverages or offering of health coverages by ((insurance)) health carriers((, health care service contractors, and health maintenance organizations as a component of individual or group policies.)); and that improved access to these health care services to segments of the population which desire them can provide beneficial social and health consequences which may be in the public interest.
The legislature finds further, however, that the cost ramifications of expanding health coverages is ((resulting in a growing)) of continuing concern((. The way that such coverages are structured and the steps taken to create incentives to provide cost-effective services or to take advantage of cost off-setting features of services can significantly influence the cost impact of mandating particular coverages.)); and that the merits of a particular ((coverage mandate)) mandated benefit must be balanced against a variety of consequences which may go far beyond the immediate impact upon the cost of insurance coverage. The legislature hereby finds and declares that a systematic review of proposed mandated ((or mandatorily offered health coverage)) benefits, which explores all the ramifications of such proposed legislation, will assist the legislature in determining whether mandating a particular coverage or offering is in the public interest. ((This chapter provides for a set of guidelines which should be addressed in the consideration of all such mandated coverage proposals coming before the legislature.))

(1) School district boards of directors may establish district-wide student dress and grooming codes, which may include a requirement that students wear uniforms.
(2) School district boards of directors may establish specific schools or programs ((which)) that parents may choose for their children to attend in which: (a) Students are required to conform to dress and grooming codes, including requiring that students wear uniforms; (b) parents are required to participate in the student's education; or (c) discipline requirements are more stringent than in other schools in the district.
(((2))) (3) School district boards of directors may also establish specific schools or programs in which: (a) Students are required to conform to dress and grooming codes, including requiring that students wear uniforms; (b) parents are regularly counseled and encouraged to participate in the student's education; or (c) discipline requirements are more stringent than in other schools in the district. School boards may require that students who are subject to suspension or expulsion attend these schools or programs as a condition of continued enrollment in the school district.
(((3))) (4) If students are required to wear uniforms ((in these programs or schools)), school districts shall accommodate students so that the uniform requirement is not an unfair barrier to school attendance and participation.
(((4) Nothing in this section impairs or reduces in any manner whatsoever the authority of a board under other law to impose a dress and appearance code. However, if a board requires uniforms under such other authority, it shall accommodate students so that the uniform requirement is not an unfair barrier to school attendance and participation.))
(5) In order to maintain order and discipline in schools during and after a natural disaster, schools may remain closed when natural disasters listed in RCW 28A.150.290(2)(a) and (b) occur as long as such conditions remain. The superintendent of public instruction shall allow school districts to receive state basic education moneys in such cases even though the requirement of a full school year of one hundred eighty days or the annual average total instructional hour offering imposed by RCW 28A.150.220 and RCW 28A.150.260 have not been fulfilled.
Sec. 2. RCW 28A.225.225 and 1995 c 52 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) All districts accepting applications from nonresident students or from students receiving home-based instruction for admission to the district's schools shall consider equally all applications received. Each school district shall adopt a policy establishing rational, fair, and equitable standards for acceptance and rejection of applications ((by June 30, 1990)). The policy may include rejection of nonresident students if acceptance of these students would result in the district experiencing a financial hardship. However, nothing in this section prevents a school district superintendent or his or her designee from denying the application of a nonresident student if the student's disciplinary record indicates a history of behavior that has been disruptive to the educational process.
(2) The district shall provide to applicants written notification of the approval or denial of the application in a timely manner. If the application is rejected, the notification shall include the reason or reasons for denial and the right to appeal under RCW 28A.225.230(3).
Sec. 3. RCW 28A.600.030 and 1990 c 33 s 498 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Each school district board of directors may establish student grading policies which permit teachers to consider a student's attendance in determining the student's overall grade or deciding whether the student should be granted or denied credit. Such policies shall take into consideration the circumstances pertaining to the student's inability to attend school.
(2) The state board of education shall not limit the ability of school districts to reduce a student's grade or to deny credit for disciplinary reasons or as a result of disciplinary actions. However, no policy shall be adopted whereby a grade shall be reduced or credit shall be denied for disciplinary reasons or due to disciplinary actions only, rather than for academic reasons, unless due process of law is provided as set forth by the state board of education under RCW 28A.305.160.
Sec. 4. RCW 28A.305.160 and 1975-'76 2nd ex.s. c 97 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The state board of education shall adopt and distribute to all school districts lawful and reasonable rules ((and regulations)) prescribing the substantive and procedural due process guarantees of pupils in the common schools. Such rules ((and regulations)) shall authorize a school district to use informal due process procedures in connection with the short-term suspension of students to the extent constitutionally permissible. In cases in which suspensions and expulsions are appealed by a student, such rules shall authorize a school district to suspend a student temporarily after an initial hearing until a final decision is reached in further appeals: PROVIDED, That the state board deems the interest of students to be adequately protected.
(2) Short-term suspensions may be used for suspensions of up to and including, ten school days.
Representative Sterk spoke in favor of adoption of the amendment.

Representative Hatfield asked Representative Sterk question and it was denied.
Representative Cole yielded to a question by Representative Hatfield.
Representative Hatfield: I was just curious as to what this Legislation changes that's not already in current statute and I was wondering if someone could point that out to me.
Representative Cole: As far as I see that only thing it changes has to do with short term suspension and students when they are suspended can be kept out of school for ten days during the process of appeal and they can go back. We do have Legislation in this state that says a school district can set their own policies as long as it's not prohibited in law and we're passing out a lot of bills that where things that are already available the issues and policies.

POINT OF PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
Representative K. Schmidt: Thank you Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask for a ruling on eligibility to vote. Representative Fisher and I serve as exofficial members on the Gambling Commission. Because of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act calling the state negotiating at a good faith effort, we believe that our voting on this bill might show an appearance of something other than good faith and we would ask for your ruling.
Representative K. Schmidt has asked whether or not she and Representative R. Fisher should be excused from voting on Substitute House Bill No. 2945.
House Rule 19 (D) provides that members should not vote on matters where they have a private and particular interest in legislation.
In this instance, the particular interest of the two Representatives is a public interest. As legislators who have been appointed to serve on the state Gambling Commission the two legislators are required by the Federal Indian Gaming Act to act in good faith in dealing with tribal gambling issues.
While the Speaker does not suggest that any member voting on this measure is acting in bad faith, the dual role of these two members suggests that they should avoid voting on this measure.
Representative K. Schmidt and R. Fisher are excused from voting on Substitute House Bill No. 2945.
Representative Sheldon spoke against passage of the bill.

On page 2, after line 29, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec 3. A new section is added to chapter 48.43 RCW to read as follows:
(1) No public or private health carrier subject to the jurisdiction of the state of Washington may propose, issue, sign, or renew an agreement of any kind, including an enrollee service agreement, that contains a clause or language whose effect, in any way, is to disclaim liability for the care delivered or not delivered to an enrollee because of a decision of the health carrier as to whether the care was a covered service, medically necessary, economically provided, medically appropriate, or similar consideration.
(2) No public or private health carrier subject to the jurisdiction of the state of Washington may propose, issue, sign, or renew an agreement of any kind, including an enrollee service agreement, that contains a clause or language whose effect, in any way, is to shift liability to the provider or the patient, or both, for the care delivered or not delivered in material part because of a payment or other related decision of the health carrier. A clause is a violation of this subsection if, by way of illustration and not limitation, it says that the decision to obtain care is between the provider and the patient, failing to acknowledge the role of payment in such decisions.
(3) Nothing in this section is to be construed to create new liability on anyone for the health carrier's payment or related decisions. The intent of this section is only to prevent health carriers from disclaiming or shifting any existing liability to either providers or patients, or both."
Correct the title accordingly.
Representative Foreman: Thank you Mr. Speaker. I would request a ruling on the scope and object of the amendment.
Representative Foreman, the Speaker is prepared to rule on your Point of Order which requested a ruling on the scope and object of amendment 288 to Substitute House Bill No. 2840.
Substitute House Bill No. 2840 has a title which says, "An Act Relating to establishing a certificate of merit procedure in Lawsuites", it amends Chapter 4.24 RCW which is a civil procedure statute, and the bill proscribes a process that certain lawsuites must follow.
Amendment 288 adds a new section to Chapter 48.43 which is part of the insurance code of law. The amendment has nothing to do with civil procedure at trial, and it has nothing to do with a certificate of merit.
Representative Foreman, your point of Order is well taken. Amendment 288 is beyond the Scope and Object of Substitute House Bill No. 2840.
Representative Dellwo moved the adoption of the following amendment by Representative Dellwo:
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1.

The court may, for good cause shown, extend the period of time within which filing of the certificate is required.
(2) The certificate issued by the claimant's attorney shall declare:
(a) That the attorney has reviewed the facts of the case;
(b) That the attorney has consulted with at least one qualified expert who the attorney reasonably believes is knowledgeable in the relevant issues involved in the particular action and who has expertise in those areas requiring expert testimony in an action against a health care facility or health care professional;

(d) That the attorney has concluded on the basis of such review and consultation that there is reasonable and meritorious cause for the filing of such action.
(3) Where a certificate is required under this section, and where there are multiple defendants, the certificate or certificates must state the attorney's conclusion that on the basis of review and expert consultation, there is reasonable and meritorious cause for the filing of such action as to each defendant.
(4) The provisions of sections 2 through 5 of this act apply to persons who appear on their own behalf.
(5) If a named defendant seeks to apportion fault against a nonparty entity under RCW 4.22.070, the defendant shall file a certificate of merit as specified in subsection (2) of this section that there is reasonable and meritorious cause for joining the nonparty entity and shall be required to join the nonparty entity as a party to the action.
(6) Violation of this section shall be grounds for either dismissal of the case or sanctions against the attorney, or both, as the court deems appropriate.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

(5) "Vexatious litigant" means a person who meets any of the following criteria:
(a) In the immediately preceding seven-year period has commenced, prosecuted, or maintained on the person's own behalf at least five litigations other than in a small claims court that have been finally determined adversely to the person;
(b) After a litigation has been finally determined against the person, repeatedly relitigates or attempts to relitigate, acting on the person's own behalf, either: (i) The validity of the determination against the same defendant or defendants as to whom the litigation was finally determined; or (ii) the cause of action, claim, controversy, or any of the issues of fact or law, determined or concluded by the final determination against the same defendant or defendants as to whom the litigation was finally determined;
(c) In litigation while acting on the person's own behalf, repeatedly files frivolous motions, pleadings, or other papers, repeatedly conducts unnecessary discovery, or engages in other tactics that are frivolous or solely intended to cause unnecessary delay; or
(d) Has previously been declared to be a vexatious litigant by a state or federal court of record in an action or proceeding based upon the same or substantially similar facts, transaction, or occurrence.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. In litigation pending in a court of this state, at any time until final judgment is entered, a defendant may move the court, upon notice and hearing, for an order requiring the plaintiff to furnish security. The motion must be based upon the ground, and supported by a showing, that the plaintiff is a vexatious litigant and that there is not a reasonable probability that the plaintiff will prevail in the litigation against the moving defendant.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. When a motion under section 3 of this act is filed before trial, the litigation is stayed and the moving defendant need not plead, until ten days after the motion is denied or, if granted, until ten days after the required security has been furnished and the moving defendant given written notice that the security has been furnished. When a motion under section 3 of this act is made at any time thereafter, the litigation is stayed for such a period after the denial of the motion or the furnishing of the required security as the court determines.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. (1) In addition to other relief provided in this title, the court may, on its own motion or the motion of a party, enter a prefiling order that prohibits a vexatious litigant from filing new litigation in the courts of this state acting on the litigant's own behalf without first presenting a certificate of merit and obtaining leave of the presiding judge of the court where the litigation is proposed to be filed. Disobedience of the order by a vexatious litigant may be punished as a contempt of court.
(2) The presiding judge shall permit the filing of litigation under subsection (1) of this section only if it appears that the litigation has merit and has not been filed for the purposes of harassment or delay. The presiding judge may condition the filing of the litigation upon the furnishing of security for the benefit of the defendant as provided in section 3 of this act.
(3) The clerk may not file litigation presented by a vexatious litigant subject to a prefiling order unless the vexatious litigant first obtains an order from the presiding judge permitting the filing. If the clerk mistakenly files the litigation without the order, a party may file with the clerk and serve on the plaintiff and other parties a notice stating the plaintiff is a vexatious litigant subject to a prefiling order as set forth in subsection (1) of this section. The filing of the notice automatically stays the litigation. The litigation must be automatically dismissed unless the plaintiff within ten days of the filing of the notice obtains an order from the presiding judge permitting the filing of the litigation as set forth in subsection (2) of this section. If the presiding judge issues an order permitting the filing, the stay of the litigation remains in effect, and the defendants need not plead, until ten days after the defendants are served with a copy of the order.
(4) The clerk of the court shall provide the office of the administrator for the courts a copy of a prefiling order issued under subsection (1) of this section. The administrator for the courts shall maintain a record of vexatious litigants subject to the prefiling orders and shall annually disseminate a list of the persons to the clerks of the courts of this state.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. Sections 1 through 5 of this act are each added to chapter 4.24 RCW.

On page 4, after line 25, insert the following:
"Sec. 6. RCW 10.99.040 and 1995 c 246 s 23 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Because of the serious nature of domestic violence, the court in domestic violence actions:
(a) Shall not dismiss any charge or delay disposition because of concurrent dissolution or other civil proceedings;
(b) Shall not require proof that either party is seeking a dissolution of marriage prior to instigation of criminal proceedings;
(c) Shall waive any requirement that the victim's location be disclosed to any person, other than the attorney of a criminal defendant, upon a showing that there is a possibility of further violence: PROVIDED, That the court may order a criminal defense attorney not to disclose to his or her client the victim's location; and
(d) Shall identify by any reasonable means on docket sheets those criminal actions arising from acts of domestic violence.
(2) Because of the likelihood of repeated violence directed at those who have been victims of domestic violence in the past, when any person charged with or arrested for a crime involving domestic violence is released from custody before arraignment or trial on bail or personal recognizance, the court authorizing the release may prohibit that person from having any contact with the victim. The jurisdiction authorizing the release shall determine whether that person should be prohibited from having any contact with the victim. If there is no outstanding restraining or protective order prohibiting that person from having contact with the victim, the court authorizing release may issue, by telephone, a no-contact order prohibiting the person charged or arrested from having contact with the victim. In issuing the order, the court shall consider the provisions of RCW 9.41.800. The no-contact order shall also be issued in writing as soon as possible.
(3) At the time of arraignment the court shall determine whether a no-contact order shall be issued or extended. If a no-contact order is issued or extended, the court may also include in the conditions of release a requirement that the defendant submit to electronic monitoring. If electronic monitoring is ordered, the court shall specify who shall provide the monitoring services, and the terms under which the monitoring shall be performed. Upon conviction, the court may require as a condition of the sentence that the defendant reimburse the providing agency for the costs of the electronic monitoring.
(4)(a) Willful violation of a court order issued under subsection (2) or (3) of this section is a ((gross misdemeanor)) class C felony punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW. Upon conviction and in addition to other penalties provided by law, the court may require that the defendant submit to electronic monitoring. The court shall specify who shall provide the electronic monitoring services and the terms under which the monitoring must be performed. The court also may include a requirement that the defendant pay the costs of the monitoring. The court shall consider the ability of the convicted person to pay for electronic monitoring.
(b) ((Any assault that is a violation of an order issued under this section and that does not amount to assault in the first or second degree under RCW 9A.36.011 or 9A.36.021 is a class C felony punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW, and any conduct in violation of a protective order issued under this section that is reckless and creates a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury to another person is a class C felony punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW.
(c))) The written order releasing the person charged or arrested shall contain the court's directives and shall bear the legend: "Violation of this order is a criminal offense under chapter 10.99 RCW and will subject a violator to arrest; any assault or reckless endangerment that is a violation of this order is a felony. You can be arrested even if any person protected by the order invites or allows you to violate the order's prohibitions. You have the sole responsibility to avoid or refrain from violating the order's provisions. Only the court can change the order." A certified copy of the order shall be provided to the victim. If a no-contact order has been issued prior to charging, that order shall expire at arraignment or within seventy-two hours if charges are not filed. Such orders need not be entered into the computer-based criminal intelligence information system in this state which is used by law enforcement agencies to list outstanding warrants.
(5) Whenever an order prohibiting contact is issued, modified, or terminated under subsection (2) or (3) of this section, the clerk of the court shall forward a copy of the order on or before the next judicial day to the appropriate law enforcement agency specified in the order. Upon receipt of the copy of the order the law enforcement agency shall forthwith enter the order for one year or until the expiration date specified on the order into any computer-based criminal intelligence information system available in this state used by law enforcement agencies to list outstanding warrants. Entry into the law enforcement information system constitutes notice to all law enforcement agencies of the existence of the order. The order is fully enforceable in any jurisdiction in the state."

"PART I
LEGISLATIVE INTENT
RESTORATION OF PARENTS' RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that there has been a gradual encroachment by the state into the fundamental rights of parents to exercise legitimate care, responsibility, and control over the upbringing of their children and the failure of government to adequately support the reasonable attempts of parents to train, discipline, and prepare their children to be productive, law-abiding citizens is destructive to the family unit and harmful to society.
The result of such interference and neglect is a breakdown in the traditional role of the family as the primary provider, protector, and promoter of the health, safety, and well-being of children and of the basic values and character traits essential for attaining individual liberty, fulfillment, and happiness.
This act is intended to ensure the rights of parents to rightfully manage and direct the affairs of their minor or dependent children, to ensure that government appropriately respects and reinforces those rights, and to ensure that parents meet the responsibilities inherent in bearing and raising young children. The legislature recognizes that upholding the rights of parents is in the best interest of families and minor or dependent children of Washington state.
This act is also intended to assist parents in furthering the following important values: (1) Honesty, integrity, and trust; (2) respect for self and others; (3) responsibility for personal actions and commitments; (4) self-discipline and moderation; (5) diligence and a positive work ethic; (6) respect for law and authority; (7) healthy and constructive behavior; and (8) family as the basis of society.
Neither the state of Washington, nor its political subdivisions, should by any means, enact or enforce any policy that supersedes or infringes upon the rights of parents as recognized and protected by this act.

PART IV
HEALTH CARE
A. PARENTS' RIGHT TO BE PRESENT DURING MEDICAL PROCEDURES
INVOLVING A MINOR OR DEPENDENT CHILD
NEW SECTION. Sec. 11. A new section is added to chapter 26.28 RCW to read as follows:
A parent or legal guardian of an unemancipated minor or dependent child has a right to be present when the minor or child is receiving medical care if: (1) The parent is present at the time needed care is provided; (2) the parent indicates his or her desire to be present; (3) the child indicates his or her desire for the parent to be present; and (4) the parent's presence will not interfere with or disrupt the provider's ability to administer care.
This right does not extend to a parent or legal guardian if a restraining order or other court order has been issued prohibiting the parent or legal guardian from having contact with the child.
As used in this section, "medical care" means any medical procedure, treatment, diagnosis, or examination that is performed by a person licensed in this state to provide health care.
B. PARENTS' RIGHT TO ACCESS HEALTH RELATED TEST RESULTS
Sec. 12. RCW 70.24.105 and 1994 c 72 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) No person may disclose or be compelled to disclose the identity of any person who has investigated, considered, or requested a test or treatment for a sexually transmitted disease, except as authorized by this chapter.
(2) No person may disclose or be compelled to disclose the identity of any person upon whom an HIV antibody test is performed, or the results of such a test, nor may the result of a test for any other sexually transmitted disease when it is positive be disclosed. This protection against disclosure of test subject, diagnosis, or treatment also applies to any information relating to diagnosis of or treatment for HIV infection and for any other confirmed sexually transmitted disease. The following persons, however, may receive such information:
(a) The subject of the test or the subject's legal representative for health care decisions in accordance with RCW 7.70.065, with the exception of such a representative of a minor child over fourteen years of age and otherwise competent when the minor seeks testing without parent involvement. Test results must be available to a parent or legal guardian if the parent or legal guardian is present at the time of testing;
(b) Any person who secures a specific release of test results or information relating to HIV or confirmed diagnosis of or treatment for any other sexually transmitted disease executed by the subject or the subject's legal representative for health care decisions in accordance with RCW 7.70.065, with the exception of such a representative of a minor child over fourteen years of age and otherwise competent when the minor seeks testing without parent involvement. Test results must be available to a parent or legal guardian if the parent or legal guardian is present at the time of testing;
(c) The state public health officer, a local public health officer, or the centers for disease control of the United States public health service in accordance with reporting requirements for a diagnosed case of a sexually transmitted disease;
(d) A health facility or health care provider that procures, processes, distributes, or uses: (i) A human body part, tissue, or blood from a deceased person with respect to medical information regarding that person; (ii) semen, including that provided prior to March 23, 1988, for the purpose of artificial insemination; or (iii) blood specimens;
(e) Any state or local public health officer conducting an investigation pursuant to RCW 70.24.024, provided that such record was obtained by means of court ordered HIV testing pursuant to RCW 70.24.340 or 70.24.024;
(f) A person allowed access to the record by a court order granted after application showing good cause therefor. In assessing good cause, the court shall weigh the public interest and the need for disclosure against the injury to the patient, to the physician-patient relationship, and to the treatment services. Upon the granting of the order, the court, in determining the extent to which any disclosure of all or any part of the record of any such test is necessary, shall impose appropriate safeguards against unauthorized disclosure. An order authorizing disclosure shall: (i) Limit disclosure to those parts of the patient's record deemed essential to fulfill the objective for which the order was granted; (ii) limit disclosure to those persons whose need for information is the basis for the order; and (iii) include any other appropriate measures to keep disclosure to a minimum for the protection of the patient, the physician-patient relationship, and the treatment services, including but not limited to the written statement set forth in subsection (5) of this section;
(g) Persons who, because of their behavioral interaction with the infected individual, have been placed at risk for acquisition of a sexually transmitted disease, as provided in RCW 70.24.022, if the health officer or authorized representative believes that the exposed person was unaware that a risk of disease exposure existed and that the disclosure of the identity of the infected person is necessary;
(h) A law enforcement officer, fire fighter, health care provider, health care facility staff person, or other persons as defined by the board in rule pursuant to RCW 70.24.340(4), who has requested a test of a person whose bodily fluids he or she has been substantially exposed to, pursuant to RCW 70.24.340(4), if a state or local public health officer performs the test;
(i) Claims management personnel employed by or associated with an insurer, health care service contractor, health maintenance organization, self-funded health plan, state-administered health care claims payer, or any other payer of health care claims where such disclosure is to be used solely for the prompt and accurate evaluation and payment of medical or related claims. Information released under this subsection shall be confidential and shall not be released or available to persons who are not involved in handling or determining medical claims payment; and
(j) A department of social and health services worker, a child placing agency worker, or a guardian ad litem who is responsible for making or reviewing placement or case-planning decisions or recommendations to the court regarding a child, who is less than fourteen years of age, has a sexually transmitted disease, and is in the custody of the department of social and health services or a licensed child placing agency; this information may also be received by a person responsible for providing residential care for such a child when the department of social and health services or a licensed child placing agency determines that it is necessary for the provision of child care services.
(3) No person to whom the results of a test for a sexually transmitted disease have been disclosed pursuant to subsection (2) of this section may disclose the test results to another person except as authorized by that subsection.
(4) The release of sexually transmitted disease information regarding an offender, except as provided in subsection (2)(e) of this section, shall be governed as follows:
(a) The sexually transmitted disease status of a department of corrections offender shall be made available by department of corrections health care providers to a department of corrections superintendent or administrator as necessary for disease prevention or control and for protection of the safety and security of the staff, offenders, and the public. The information may be submitted to transporting officers and receiving facilities, including facilities that are not under the department of correction's jurisdiction.
(b) The sexually transmitted disease status of a person detained in a jail shall be made available by the local public health officer to a jail administrator as necessary for disease prevention or control and for protection of the safety and security of the staff, offenders, and the public. The information may be submitted to transporting officers and receiving facilities.
(c) Information regarding a department of corrections offender's sexually transmitted disease status is confidential and may be disclosed by a correctional superintendent or administrator or local jail administrator only as necessary for disease prevention or control and for protection of the safety and security of the staff, offenders, and the public. Unauthorized disclosure of this information to any person may result in disciplinary action, in addition to any other penalties as may be prescribed by law.
(5) Whenever disclosure is made pursuant to this section, except for subsections (2)(a) and (6) of this section, it shall be accompanied by a statement in writing which includes the following or substantially similar language: "This information has been disclosed to you from records whose confidentiality is protected by state law. State law prohibits you from making any further disclosure of it without the specific written consent of the person to whom it pertains, or as otherwise permitted by state law. A general authorization for the release of medical or other information is NOT sufficient for this purpose." An oral disclosure shall be accompanied or followed by such a notice within ten days.
(6) The requirements of this section shall not apply to the customary methods utilized for the exchange of medical information among health care providers in order to provide health care services to the patient, nor shall they apply within health care facilities where there is a need for access to confidential medical information to fulfill professional duties.
(7) Upon request of the victim, disclosure of test results under this section to victims of sexual offenses under chapter 9A.44 RCW shall be made if the result is negative or positive. The county prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim of the right to such disclosure. Such disclosure shall be accompanied by appropriate counseling, including information regarding follow-up testing.
C. PARENTS' RIGHT TO NOTIFICATION OF HEALTH CARE TREATMENT
PROVIDED FOR SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
Sec. 13. RCW 70.24.110 and 1988 c 206 s 912 are each amended to read as follows:
A minor fourteen years of age or older who may have come in contact with any sexually transmitted disease or suspected sexually transmitted disease may give consent to the furnishing of hospital, medical and surgical care related to the diagnosis or treatment of such disease. Such consent shall not be subject to disaffirmance because of minority. The consent of the parent, parents, or legal guardian of such minor shall not be necessary to authorize hospital, medical and surgical care related to such disease and such parent, parents, or legal guardian shall not be liable for payment for any care rendered pursuant to this section. However, a parent or legal guardian is entitled to receive information regarding treatment provided and test results when the parent or legal guardian accompanies the minor child for testing or treatment services provided in this chapter.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 14. Part and subpart headings used in this act do not constitute any part of the law.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 15. This act shall be known and cited as the restoration of parents' rights and responsibilities act of 1996.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 16. This act is intended to be cumulative and nonexclusive and is not intended to affect any rights granted to parents by any other law or statute. This act shall be liberally construed to effectuate the policies and purposes of this act. In the event of conflict between this act and any other provision of law, the provisions of this act shall govern.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 17. 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.

Representative Mastin moved the adoption of the following amendment to the amendment by Representative Mastin:
On page 1, line 10, after "Sec. 1.", strike all material down to "act." on line 4, page 2, and insert the following:
"The legislature finds there has been a gradual encroachment by the state into the fundamental rights of parents to exercise legitimate care, responsibility, and guidance over the upbringing of their children. The Legislature also finds that government's inability to adequately support reasonable attempts by parents to guide, discipline, and prepare their children for a productive, fulfilling life, is both a result and cause of the breakdown in the family unit and harmful to society.
The result is a breakdown in the traditional role of the family as the primary provider, protector, and promoter of the health, safety, and well-being of children and of the basic values and character traits essential for attaining individual liberty, fulfillment, and happiness.
This act is intended to ensure parents can rightfully guide and direct the affairs of their minor or dependent children. This act is also intended to ensure government appropriately respects and reinforces those rights, and to ensure parents meet the responsibilities inherent in bearing and raising young children. The legislature recognizes that upholding the rights of parents is in the best interest of the families and minor children of Washington state.
This act is also intended to assist parents in furthering the following important values: (1) Honesty, integrity, and trust; (2) respect for self and others; (3) responsibility for personal actions and commitments; (4) self-discipline and moderation; (5) diligence and a positive work ethic; (6) respect for law and authority; (7) healthy and constructive behavior; and (8) family as the basis of society.
Neither the state of Washington, nor its political subdivisions, should by any means, enact or enforce any policy that supersedes or infringes upon the abilities and the rights of parents as recognized and protected by this act."
Representative Mastin spoke in favor of adoption of the amendment to the amendment.
The amendment to the amendment was adopted.

The provider must notify the parent or guardian only if (a) the minor signs a written consent authorizing the disclosure, or (b) the consent of the minor's parent or guardian is unnecessary for the minor to receive treatment and the program or facility director determines that the minor lacks capacity to make a rational choice regarding consenting to disclosure. The notice must be made within forty-eight hours of the request for treatment, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and must contain the same information as required under RCW 71.34.030(2)(b).

(2) Any provider of outpatient treatment who agrees to provide outpatient treatment to a minor must notify the minor's parent or guardian of the minor's request for outpatient treatment if (a) the minor signs a written consent authorizing the disclosure, or (b) if the minor is less than thirteen years of age and the program or facility director determines that the minor lacks capacity to make a rational choice regarding consenting to disclosure. The notice must be made within seven days of the request for treatment, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and must contain the same information as required under RCW 71.34.030(2)(b).
(3) A parent or guardian of a minor is not obligated to pay for any services provided to the minor under RCW 70.96A.095(1) if within seven working days of the minor's request for treatment, the provider did not notify one of the minor's parents, or the minor's guardian, of the minor's request for treatment. Notwithstanding any provision of any insurance contract or agreement entered into after the effective date of this act, benefits shall not be provided under the contract or agreement for the treatment of a minor if within seven working days of the minor's request for treatment, the provider did not notify one of the minor's parents, or the minor's guardian, of the minor's request for treatment. This section does not apply if the treatment provider has made reasonable attempts to notify one of the minor's parents or the minor's guardian but has been unable to contact one of them within seven days of the minor's request for treatment. A treatment provider may refuse to provide treatment until a minor patient consents to disclosure necessary to obtain reimbursement.
