      WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America’s official mission statement is to “serve others by helping to instill values in young people and, in other ways, to prepare them to make ethical choices during their lifetime in achieving their full potential”; and

      WHEREAS, The Scout law which reads, “A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent” provides an ethical code we would all do well to follow; and

      WHEREAS, The Scout motto of “be prepared” and the Scout slogan of, “do a good turn daily” help furnish all youth and adults positive goals to guide them; and

      WHEREAS, The learning for life program helps to instill children with the values of good character, citizenship and personal fitness; and

      WHEREAS, Scouts around the nation have participated in numerous community programs, such as, Scouting for Food, and the Organ Donor Awareness Drive; and

      WHEREAS, Nationally more than 4.5 million youth are involved in scouting activities, ranging from Tiger Cubs through Explorers, which is a four percent increase in membership from 1996; and

      WHEREAS, The month of February, 1998, marks the sixth-first anniversary of an official Black History celebration; and

      WHEREAS, This month also marks the twenty-first anniversary of the official observance of Black History Month; and

      WHEREAS, There is still a widespread lack of knowledge among the general population that African Americans have played major roles and contributed in every aspect to the development and building of our country; and

      WHEREAS, The actual history of Africans, in Africa and around the world, is that of a fascinating and enlightening journey of both African peoples and individuals; and

      WHEREAS, The history of Africans in the Americas dates back to 1619, a year before the Mayflower landed, with the arrival of the first African slaves; and

      WHEREAS, The full story of Africans at home and abroad goes far beyond the traditionally emphasized experience of domination by and subjugation to others in the New World; and

      WHEREAS, Black History Month affords students of all backgrounds the chance to see the accomplishments and contributions of Africans, both in Africa and around the world; and

      WHEREAS, For many young people, Black History Month has led to exposure to literature, art, philosophy, and culture that they otherwise might never experience; and

      WHEREAS, The study of the history of African Americans and their contributions can broaden our views and strengthen racial relations within our country’s diverse population;

      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the members of the Washington State Senate do hereby recognize and appreciate the many benefits of Black History Month to our citizenry and to our culture in general, and that we urge all citizens of the state of Washington to join with us in taking the opportunity this month to explore this rich history and expand our world view.

POINT OF INQUIRY


      Senator Roach: “Senator Swecker, I'm looking at this and many of us represent rather urban areas and we have a lot of people that live around the lakes. This came through the Ag committee and maybe some of us haven't had a chance to look at it -as specifically as we would like to. Am I reading this correctly, then--we are going to be creating a new governmental body and they would be what--elected by the people around the lake? Who defines the area that will be the electorate and what powers will this new governing body have and from where will they be taking the power--granted from the people--but does this mean from a county government, a city government--who is doing the job now?”

      Senator Swecker: “Thank you for your question. When the Lake Health Task Force began its meetings, the first thing that we recognized was that there weren't very many good options for dealing with in-lake problems. These problems, of course, have been increasing over the years with urbanization. They are particularly bad in the urban areas. So, this bill was designed to add another tool for lake residents to set up a district and help to control problems like, you know, weed infestation--and other kinds of things. This bill allows for this body to be set up--let me clarify the point--yes, the district is set up--I'll get that information for you, Senator Roach.”

       (3) Whenever a sentence outside the standard range is imposed, the court shall set forth the reasons for its decision in written findings of fact and conclusions of law. A sentence outside the standard range shall be a determinate sentence.

       (4) A persistent offender shall be sentenced to a term of total confinement for life without the possibility of parole or, when authorized by RCW 10.95.030 for the crime of aggravated murder in the first degree, sentenced to death, notwithstanding the maximum sentence under any other law.

       (5) In sentencing a first-time offender the court may waive the imposition of a sentence within the sentence range and impose a sentence which may include up to ninety days of confinement in a facility operated or utilized under contract by the county and a requirement that the offender refrain from committing new offenses.

       (ii) The offender has no prior convictions for a felony in this state, another state, or the United States; and

       (iii) The offense involved only a small quantity of the particular controlled substance as determined by the judge upon consideration of such factors as the weight, purity, packaging, sale price, and street value of the controlled substance.

       (b) If the midpoint of the standard range is greater than one year and the sentencing judge determines that the offender is eligible for this option and that the offender and the community will benefit from the use of the special drug offender sentencing alternative, the judge may waive imposition of a sentence within the standard range and impose a sentence that must include a period of total confinement in a state facility for one-half of the midpoint of the standard range. During incarceration in the state facility, offenders sentenced under this subsection shall undergo a comprehensive substance abuse assessment and receive, within available resources, treatment services appropriate for the offender. The treatment services shall be designed by the division of alcohol and substance abuse of the department of social and health services, in cooperation with the department of corrections.

If the court finds that conditions have been willfully violated, the court may impose confinement consisting of up to the remaining one-half of the midpoint of the standard range. All total confinement served during the period of community custody shall be credited to the offender, regardless of whether the total confinement is served as a result of the original sentence, as a result of a sanction imposed by the department, or as a result of a violation found by the court. The term of community supervision shall be tolled by any period of time served in total confinement as a result of a violation found by the court.

       (d) The department shall determine the rules for calculating the value of a day fine based on the offender's income and reasonable obligations which the offender has for the support of the offender and any dependents. These rules shall be developed in consultation with the administrator for the courts, the office of financial management, and the commission.

       (7) If a sentence range has not been established for the defendant's crime, the court shall impose a determinate sentence which may include not more than one year of confinement, community service work, a term of community supervision not to exceed one year, and/or other legal financial obligations. The court may impose a sentence which provides more than one year of confinement if the court finds, considering the purpose of this chapter, that there are substantial and compelling reasons justifying an exceptional sentence.

       (8)(a)(i) When an offender is convicted of a sex offense other than a violation of RCW 9A.44.050 or a sex offense that is also a serious violent offense and has no prior convictions for a sex offense or any other felony sex offenses in this or any other state, the sentencing court, on its own motion or the motion of the state or the defendant, may order an examination to determine whether the defendant is amenable to treatment.

The report shall set forth the sources of the evaluator's information.

The defendant shall pay the cost of any second examination ordered unless the court finds the defendant to be indigent in which case the state shall pay the cost.

       (ii) After receipt of the reports, the court shall consider whether the offender and the community will benefit from use of this special sex offender sentencing alternative and consider the victim's opinion whether the offender should receive a treatment disposition under this subsection. If the court determines that this special sex offender sentencing alternative is appropriate, the court shall then impose a sentence within the sentence range. If this sentence is less than eleven years of confinement, the court may suspend the execution of the sentence and impose the following conditions of suspension:

       (A) The court shall place the defendant on community custody for the length of the suspended sentence or three years, whichever is greater, and require the offender to comply with any conditions imposed by the department of corrections under subsection (14) of this section;

A community mental health center may not be used for such treatment unless it has an appropriate program designed for sex offender treatment. The offender shall not change sex offender treatment providers or treatment conditions without first notifying the prosecutor, the community corrections officer, and the court, and shall not change providers without court approval after a hearing if the prosecutor or community corrections officer object to the change.

       (IV) Pay all court-ordered legal financial obligations as provided in RCW 9.94A.030, perform community service work, or any combination thereof; or

       (V) Make recoupment to the victim for the cost of any counseling required as a result of the offender's crime; and

       (C) Sex offenders sentenced under this special sex offender sentencing alternative are not eligible to accrue any earned early release time while serving a suspended sentence.

       (iii) The sex offender therapist shall submit quarterly reports on the defendant's progress in treatment to the court and the parties. The report shall reference the treatment plan and include at a minimum the following: Dates of attendance, defendant's compliance with requirements, treatment activities, the defendant's relative progress in treatment, and any other material as specified by the court at sentencing.

       (iv) At the time of sentencing, the court shall set a treatment termination hearing for three months prior to the anticipated date for completion of treatment. Prior to the treatment termination hearing, the treatment professional and community corrections officer shall submit written reports to the court and parties regarding the defendant's compliance with treatment and monitoring requirements, and recommendations regarding termination from treatment, including proposed community supervision conditions. Either party may request and the court may order another evaluation regarding the advisability of termination from treatment. The defendant shall pay the cost of any additional evaluation ordered unless the court finds the defendant to be indigent in which case the state shall pay the cost. At the treatment termination hearing the court may: (A) Modify conditions of community custody, and either (B) terminate treatment, or (C) extend treatment for up to the remaining period of community custody.

       (v) If a violation of conditions occurs during community custody, the department shall either impose sanctions as provided for in RCW 9.94A.205(2)(a) or refer the violation to the court and recommend revocation of the suspended sentence as provided for in (a)(vi) of this subsection.

       (vi) The court may revoke the suspended sentence at any time during the period of community custody and order execution of the sentence if: (A) The defendant violates the conditions of the suspended sentence, or (B) the court finds that the defendant is failing to make satisfactory progress in treatment. All confinement time served during the period of community custody shall be credited to the offender if the suspended sentence is revoked.

       (vii) Except as provided in (a)(viii) of this subsection, after July 1, 1991, examinations and treatment ordered pursuant to this subsection shall only be conducted by sex offender treatment providers certified by the department of health pursuant to chapter 18.155 RCW.

       (viii) A sex offender therapist who examines or treats a sex offender pursuant to this subsection (8) does not have to be certified by the department of health pursuant to chapter 18.155 RCW if the court finds that: (A) The offender has already moved to another state or plans to move to another state for reasons other than circumventing the certification requirements; (B) no certified providers are available for treatment within a reasonable geographical distance of the offender's home; and (C) the evaluation and treatment plan comply with this subsection (8) and the rules adopted by the department of health.

       (ix) For purposes of this subsection (8), "victim" means any person who has sustained emotional, psychological, physical, or financial injury to person or property as a result of the crime charged. "Victim" also means a parent or guardian of a victim who is a minor child unless the parent or guardian is the perpetrator of the offense.

       (x) If the defendant was less than eighteen years of age when the charge was filed, the state shall pay for the cost of initial evaluation and treatment.

       (b) When an offender commits any felony sex offense on or after July 1, 1987, and is sentenced to a term of confinement of more than one year but less than six years, the sentencing court may, on its own motion or on the motion of the offender or the state, request the department of corrections to evaluate whether the offender is amenable to treatment and the department may place the offender in a treatment program within a correctional facility operated by the department.

       Except for an offender who has been convicted of a violation of RCW 9A.44.040 or 9A.44.050, if the offender completes the treatment program before the expiration of his or her term of confinement, the department of corrections may request the court to convert the balance of confinement to community supervision and to place conditions on the offender including crime-related prohibitions and requirements that the offender perform any one or more of the following:

       (i) Devote time to a specific employment or occupation;

       (ii) Remain within prescribed geographical boundaries and notify the court or the community corrections officer prior to any change in the offender's address or employment;

       (iii) Report as directed to the court and a community corrections officer;

       (iv) Undergo available outpatient treatment.

       If the offender violates any of the terms of his or her community supervision, the court may order the offender to serve out the balance of his or her community supervision term in confinement in the custody of the department of corrections.

       Nothing in this subsection (8)(b) shall confer eligibility for such programs for offenders convicted and sentenced for a sex offense committed prior to July 1, 1987. This subsection (8)(b) does not apply to any crime committed after July 1, 1990.

       (c) Offenders convicted and sentenced for a sex offense committed prior to July 1, 1987, may, subject to available funds, request an evaluation by the department of corrections to determine whether they are amenable to treatment. If the offender is determined to be amenable to treatment, the offender may request placement in a treatment program within a correctional facility operated by the department. Placement in such treatment program is subject to available funds.

       (9)(a) When a court sentences a person to a term of total confinement to the custody of the department of corrections for an offense categorized as a sex offense or a serious violent offense committed after July 1, 1988, but before July 1, 1990, assault in the second degree, assault of a child in the second degree, any crime against a person where it is determined in accordance with RCW 9.94A.125 that the defendant or an accomplice was armed with a deadly weapon at the time of commission, or any felony offense under chapter 69.50 or 69.52 RCW not sentenced under subsection (6) of this section, committed on or after July 1, 1988, the court shall in addition to the other terms of the sentence, sentence the offender to a one-year term of community placement beginning either upon completion of the term of confinement or at such time as the offender is transferred to community custody in lieu of earned early release in accordance with RCW 9.94A.150 (1) and (2). When the court sentences an offender under this subsection to the statutory maximum period of confinement then the community placement portion of the sentence shall consist entirely of such community custody to which the offender may become eligible, in accordance with RCW 9.94A.150 (1) and (2). Any period of community custody actually served shall be credited against the community placement portion of the sentence.

       (b) When a court sentences a person to a term of total confinement to the custody of the department of corrections for an offense categorized as a sex offense committed on or after July 1, 1990, but before June 6, 1996, a serious violent offense, vehicular homicide, or vehicular assault, committed on or after July 1, 1990, the court shall in addition to other terms of the sentence, sentence the offender to community placement for two years or up to the period of earned early release awarded pursuant to RCW 9.94A.150 (1) and (2), whichever is longer. The community placement shall begin either upon completion of the term of confinement or at such time as the offender is transferred to community custody in lieu of earned early release in accordance with RCW 9.94A.150 (1) and (2). When the court sentences an offender under this subsection to the statutory maximum period of confinement then the community placement portion of the sentence shall consist entirely of the community custody to which the offender may become eligible, in accordance with RCW 9.94A.150 (1) and (2). Any period of community custody actually served shall be credited against the community placement portion of the sentence. Unless a condition is waived by the court, the terms of community placement for offenders sentenced pursuant to this section shall include the following conditions:

       (i) The offender shall report to and be available for contact with the assigned community corrections officer as directed;

       (ii) The offender shall work at department of corrections-approved education, employment, and/or community service;

       (iii) The offender shall not possess or consume controlled substances except pursuant to lawfully issued prescriptions;

       (iv) The offender shall pay supervision fees as determined by the department of corrections;

       (v) The residence location and living arrangements are subject to the prior approval of the department of corrections during the period of community placement; and

       (vi) The offender shall submit to affirmative acts necessary to monitor compliance with the orders of the court as required by the department.

       (c) As a part of any sentence imposed under (a) or (b) of this subsection, the court may also order any of the following special conditions:

       (i) The offender shall remain within, or outside of, a specified geographical boundary;

       (ii) The offender shall not have direct or indirect contact with the victim of the crime or a specified class of individuals;

       (iii) The offender shall participate in crime-related treatment or counseling services;

       (iv) The offender shall not consume alcohol;

       (v) The offender shall comply with any crime-related prohibitions; or

       (vi) For an offender convicted of a felony sex offense against a minor victim after June 6, 1996, the offender shall comply with any terms and conditions of community placement imposed by the department of corrections relating to contact between the sex offender and a minor victim or a child of similar age or circumstance as a previous victim.

       (d) Prior to transfer to, or during, community placement, any conditions of community placement may be removed or modified so as not to be more restrictive by the sentencing court, upon recommendation of the department of corrections.

       (10)(a) When a court sentences a person to the custody of the department of corrections for an offense categorized as a sex offense committed on or after June 6, 1996, the court shall, in addition to other terms of the sentence, sentence the offender to community custody for three years or up to the period of earned early release awarded pursuant to RCW 9.94A.150 (1) and (2), whichever is longer. The community custody shall begin either upon completion of the term of confinement or at such time as the offender is transferred to community custody in lieu of earned early release in accordance with RCW 9.94A.150 (1) and (2).

       (b) Unless a condition is waived by the court, the terms of community custody shall be the same as those provided for in subsection (9)(b) of this section and may include those provided for in subsection (9)(c) of this section. As part of any sentence that includes a term of community custody imposed under this subsection, the court shall also require the offender to comply with any conditions imposed by the department of corrections under subsection (14) of this section.

       (c) At any time prior to the completion of a sex offender's term of community custody, if the court finds that public safety would be enhanced, the court may impose and enforce an order extending any or all of the conditions imposed pursuant to this section for a period up to the maximum allowable sentence for the crime as it is classified in chapter 9A.20 RCW, regardless of the expiration of the offender's term of community custody. If a violation of a condition extended under this subsection occurs after the expiration of the offender's term of community custody, it shall be deemed a violation of the sentence for the purposes of RCW 9.94A.195 and may be punishable as contempt of court as provided for in RCW 7.21.040.

       (11) If the court imposes a sentence requiring confinement of thirty days or less, the court may, in its discretion, specify that the sentence be served on consecutive or intermittent days. A sentence requiring more than thirty days of confinement shall be served on consecutive days. Local jail administrators may schedule court-ordered intermittent sentences as space permits.

       (12) If a sentence imposed includes payment of a legal financial obligation, the sentence shall specify the total amount of the legal financial obligation owed, and shall require the offender to pay a specified monthly sum toward that legal financial obligation. Restitution to victims shall be paid prior to any other payments of monetary obligations. Any legal financial obligation that is imposed by the court may be collected by the department, which shall deliver the amount paid to the county clerk for credit. The offender's compliance with payment of legal financial obligations shall be supervised by the department for ten years following the entry of the judgment and sentence or ten years following the offender's release from total confinement. All monetary payments ordered shall be paid no later than ten years after the last date of release from confinement pursuant to a felony conviction or the date the sentence was entered unless the superior court extends the criminal judgment an additional ten years. If the legal financial obligations including crime victims' assessments are not paid during the initial ten-year period, the superior court may extend jurisdiction under the criminal judgment an additional ten years as provided in RCW 9.94A.140, 9.94A.142, and 9.94A.145. If jurisdiction under the criminal judgment is extended, the department is not responsible for supervision of the offender during the subsequent period. Independent of the department, the party or entity to whom the legal financial obligation is owed shall have the authority to utilize any other remedies available to the party or entity to collect the legal financial obligation. Nothing in this section makes the department, the state, or any of its employees, agents, or other persons acting on their behalf liable under any circumstances for the payment of these legal financial obligations. If an order includes restitution as one of the monetary assessments, the county clerk shall make disbursements to victims named in the order.

       (13) Except as provided under RCW 9.94A.140(1) and 9.94A.142(1), a court may not impose a sentence providing for a term of confinement or community supervision or community placement which exceeds the statutory maximum for the crime as provided in chapter 9A.20 RCW.

       (14) All offenders sentenced to terms involving community supervision, community service, community placement, or legal financial obligation shall be under the supervision of the department of corrections and shall follow explicitly the instructions and conditions of the department of corrections. The department may require an offender to perform affirmative acts it deems appropriate to monitor compliance with the conditions of the sentence imposed.

       (a) The instructions shall include, at a minimum, reporting as directed to a community corrections officer, remaining within prescribed geographical boundaries, notifying the community corrections officer of any change in the offender's address or employment, and paying the supervision fee assessment.

       (b) For offenders sentenced to terms involving community custody for crimes committed on or after June 6, 1996, the department may include, in addition to the instructions in (a) of this subsection, any appropriate conditions of supervision, including but not limited to, prohibiting the offender from having contact with any other specified individuals or specific class of individuals. The conditions authorized under this subsection (14)(b) may be imposed by the department prior to or during an offender's community custody term. If a violation of conditions imposed by the court or the department pursuant to subsection (10) of this section occurs during community custody, it shall be deemed a violation of community placement for the purposes of RCW 9.94A.207 and shall authorize the department to transfer an offender to a more restrictive confinement status as provided in RCW 9.94A.205. At any time prior to the completion of a sex offender's term of community custody, the department may recommend to the court that any or all of the conditions imposed by the court or the department pursuant to subsection (10) of this section be continued beyond the expiration of the offender's term of community custody as authorized in subsection (10)(c) of this section.

       The department may require offenders to pay for special services rendered on or after July 25, 1993, including electronic monitoring, day reporting, and telephone reporting, dependent upon the offender's ability to pay. The department may pay for these services for offenders who are not able to pay.

       (15) All offenders sentenced to terms involving community supervision, community service, or community placement under the supervision of the department of corrections shall not own, use, or possess firearms or ammunition. Offenders who own, use, or are found to be in actual or constructive possession of firearms or ammunition shall be subject to the appropriate violation process and sanctions. "Constructive possession" as used in this subsection means the power and intent to control the firearm or ammunition. "Firearm" as used in this subsection means a weapon or device from which a projectile may be fired by an explosive such as gunpowder.

       (16) The sentencing court shall give the offender credit for all confinement time served before the sentencing if that confinement was solely in regard to the offense for which the offender is being sentenced.

       (17) A departure from the standards in RCW 9.94A.400 (1) and (2) governing whether sentences are to be served consecutively or concurrently is an exceptional sentence subject to the limitations in subsections (2) and (3) of this section, and may be appealed by the defendant or the state as set forth in RCW 9.94A.210 (2) through (6).

       (18) The court shall order restitution whenever the offender is convicted of a felony that results in injury to any person or damage to or loss of property, whether the offender is sentenced to confinement or placed under community supervision, unless extraordinary circumstances exist that make restitution inappropriate in the court's judgment. The court shall set forth the extraordinary circumstances in the record if it does not order restitution.

       (19) As a part of any sentence, the court may impose and enforce an order that relates directly to the circumstances of the crime for which the offender has been convicted, prohibiting the offender from having any contact with other specified individuals or a specific class of individuals for a period not to exceed the maximum allowable sentence for the crime, regardless of the expiration of the offender's term of community supervision or community placement.

       (20) In any sentence of partial confinement, the court may require the defendant to serve the partial confinement in work release, in a program of home detention, on work crew, or in a combined program of work crew and home detention.

       (21) All court-ordered legal financial obligations collected by the department and remitted to the county clerk shall be credited and paid where restitution is ordered. Restitution shall be paid prior to any other payments of monetary obligations.

       (22)(a) If the offense is not one for which the conviction results in the offender's being a persistent offender, the court shall, at the time of sentencing, impose as a condition of release such treatment, including the use of medroxyprogesterone acetate together with any other mental health or chemical dependency treatment, as the court finds appropriate to reduce the likelihood of the offender's commission of a subsequent sex offense upon release, for any of the following offenses:

       (i) Rape in the first degree;

       (ii) Rape in the second degree;

       (iii) Rape of a child in the first degree; and

       (iv) Child molestation in the first degree, if it is the person's second conviction for child molestation in the first degree.

       (b)(i) At least thirty days before the department sets a release date for an offender who has had a treatment regimen imposed as a condition of release under (a) of this subsection, the offender must be brought back before the court for a hearing, including an examination by medical experts, for the purpose of determining whether to impose the regimen. At the hearing, the offender has the right to all due process rights including counsel, cross-examination, testimony, experts, and the provision of counsel if the offender is indigent, but not the presence of a jury.

       (ii) At the hearing under (b)(i) of this subsection, the court shall determine, by a preponderance of the evidence, whether a proposed treatment regimen, including treatment with medroxyprogesterone acetate, makes it likely that the regimen will reduce the chance that the offender will commit a sex offense upon release. In making its determination, the court shall consider:

       (A) Whether the offender has a mental abnormality as defined in RCW 71.09.020;

       (B) Whether the offender is likely to engage in predatory acts, as defined in RCW 71.09.020, if the regimen is not required; and

       (C) Whether the regimen is likely to decrease the offender's likelihood to engage in predatory acts, as defined in RCW 71.09.020.

       (c) If the court decides that the offender and the treatment regimen meet the criteria in (b) of this subsection, the court shall impose the requirement of the treatment regimen as a condition of release and the treatment must begin before the release of the offender. The court may set the treatment regimen period for as long as the court finds it necessary. If the court decides that the criteria are not met, then the court shall suspend the imposition of the treatment regimen, but may reimpose it if, following a hearing, the court finds the offender meets the criteria in (b)(ii) of this subsection. The offender, to the extent private resources are available, shall bear the cost of the treatment regimen.

       (d) Imposition and successful use of the treatment regimen shall in no way otherwise reduce the time in confinement an offender would otherwise serve.

       (e) The court may require the offender to return at any time in order for the court to monitor the progress and effect of the treatment regimen.

       (f) An offender may appeal any determination made under this subsection, but a determination under this subsection is of record and the offender shall continue any treatment regimen imposed under this subsection pending a decision on the appeal.

       (g) An offender may at any time seek early termination of a treatment regimen imposed under this subsection, but an early termination may not be granted unless, by clear and convincing evidence, the offender proves that the offender no longer has a mental abnormality, as defined in RCW 71.09.020, and that a continued treatment regimen is not necessary to prevent the offender's commission of a predatory act, as defined in RCW 71.09.020.

       (h) The offender may at any time agree to surgical alternatives to medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment if the offender voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently petitions the court in writing.

       (i) An offender who unlawfully stops treatment imposed under this subsection is guilty of a class B felony.

       Sec. 5. RCW 9.94A.320 and 1997 c 365 s 4, 1997 c 346 s 3, 1997 c 340 s 1, 1997 c 338 s 51, 1997 c 266 s 15, and 1997 c 120 s 5 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

       Beginning on page 1, line 9, strike the remainder of the memorial and insert the following:

       "WHEREAS, The Secretary of Transportation has prescribed motor vehicle safety standards under the authority of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966; and

       WHEREAS, The current standards require that vehicles be equipped with an automatic occupant crash protection system consisting of lap and shoulder seat belts and an inflatable restraint device otherwise known as an "airbag" in the two front seating positions; and

       WHEREAS, Despite recent actions to authorize installation of redesigned airbag devices in new vehicles, many serious and dangerous safety problems remain unaddressed; and

       WHEREAS, Millions of vehicles on our roads, and some in our driveways, have older model airbags; and

       WHEREAS, The newly announced process for installation of airbag deactivation switches is overly limiting, cumbersome, and requires the permission of federal authorities; and

       WHEREAS, Airbags do save lives, but due to these unaddressed problems, airbags continue to be responsible for the shocking and gruesome deaths of any children and adults; and

       WHEREAS, This situation has effectively rendered the front passenger side seating area in many vehicles useless in a large number of cases; and

       WHEREAS, It is possible to improve upon this situation; and

       WHEREAS, Federal law expressly preempts states from altering present standards or enacting other safety standards in this field;

       NOW, THEREFORE, Your Memorialists respectfully pray that the United States Congress and the United States Department of Transportation adopt new laws, regulations, and standards to protect the safety of occupants of passenger vehicles by encouraging the installation of airbag systems where the driver, free from government supervision, has the ability to deactivate the driver's side and passenger side airbag in any type of vehicle.

       BE IT RESOLVED, That copies of this Memorial be immediately transmitted to the Honorable William J. Clinton, President of the United States, the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each member of Congress from the State of Washington."
