RESOLUTION
HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 99-4666, by Representatives Kessler, Parlette, Carlson, Fortunato, Esser, Hankins and Thomas
WHEREAS, It is so very important that we sustain and commemorate all Americans whose lives and deeds helped write the history of our great nation; and
WHEREAS, If we let fade from memory the lessons of the past, as the philosopher George Santayana warned, we are condemned to endure them yet again; and
WHEREAS, An alliance of devoted citizens called Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, as dedicated and patriotic an organization as can possibly be imagined, tirelessly endeavors to preserve memorials to those who contended in a most punishing struggle for our country; and
WHEREAS, Our state of Washington, though 25 years away from joining the Union at the time of the Civil War, is home to citizens whose ascendants were engaged in its battles; and
WHEREAS, The federal government upward of a century ago bequeathed to the state of Washington sixteen cannon as a fitting and solemn tribute to the veterans of the Civil War; and
WHEREAS, Many of these cannon were presented to Washington communities with the hope that they would establish Civil War memorials of their own; and
WHEREAS, Citizen leaders in the city of Wenatchee recently reflected sound and allegiant reasoning in erecting a remarkable Cannon Memorial in their community's park; and
WHEREAS, Washingtonians in other communities no doubt also grasp our responsibility to keep in heart and mind the memory of those who came before us; and
WHEREAS, Other communities in our state would be well-advised to emulate the city of Wenatchee in preserving their own decorous hallmarks of commitment to the lives and times of Civil War veterans;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the State of Washington salute the work of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, and encourage other Washington cities to follow the estimable example set so well by the people of Wenatchee; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be immediately transmitted to Washington members of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, and to the Office of the Secretary of State for ready inspection by members of the public.

WHEREAS, The ability to quickly and appropriately respond to emergencies resulting from poisoning and to prevent poisoning is of paramount concern to all citizens of the state of Washington; and
WHEREAS, National Poison Prevention Week is March 21st through March 27th; and
WHEREAS, National Poison Prevention Week has been established to encourage consumers to make their homes and offices safe, to adequately prepare for poison emergencies, and to acknowledge the importance of poison centers; and
WHEREAS, The Washington Poison Center is nationally recognized as one of the most effective poison centers in the country; and
WHEREAS, The Washington Poison Center responds to more than one hundred thirty-five thousand calls per year making it the busiest poison center in the country; and
WHEREAS, By calling your poison center you are accessing a dedicated staff of highly trained medical professionals who are certified specialists in poison information; and
WHEREAS, During National Poison Prevention Week the Washington Poison Center urges all citizens to keep all hazardous products in their original labeled containers, to keep household chemicals out of sight and out of reach of children, to use child-resistant safety caps on prescription medicine and over-the-counter medicine, to use Mr. Yuk stickers, and to tell everyone that Mr. Yuk's scowling green face is a warning sign to stay away from poisonous products;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives acknowledge and support the lifesaving work of the Washington Poison Center and its dedicated staff; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives urge all citizens to recognize National Poison Prevention Week by making their homes and workplaces poison safe; and

Representative Kagi moved the adoption of amendment (213):
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The state of Washington affirms the importance of ensuring that crimes involving child sexual abuse are investigated thoroughly and objectively. Children who have been victims of crime deserve to have those who committed the crimes against them brought to justice. Those who may have been accused should expect that investigative agencies will make every effort to conduct thorough and impartial investigations.
The best approach to investigations of child sexual abuse crimes involves a coordinated effort by investigative agencies that minimizes repetitive investigative interviews and improves the quality of the investigations. The legislature intends to improve the training and resources available to individuals who conduct these interviews and to increase the accuracy of risk assessments and determinations of fact associated with interviews.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 43.101 RCW to read as follows:
(1) On-going specialized training shall be provided for persons responsible for investigating child sexual abuse. Training participants shall have the opportunity to practice interview skills and receive feedback from instructors.
(2) The commission, the department of social and health services, the Washington association of sheriffs and police chiefs, and the Washington association of prosecuting attorneys shall design and implement state-wide training that contains consistent elements for persons engaged in the interviewing of children for child sexual abuse cases, including law enforcement, prosecution, and child protective services.
(3) The training shall: (a) Be based on research-based practices and standards; (b) minimize the trauma of all persons who are interviewed during abuse investigations; (c) provide methods of reducing the number of investigative interviews necessary whenever possible; (d) assure, to the extent possible, that investigative interviews are thorough, objective, and complete; (e) recognize needs of special populations, such as persons with developmental disabilities; (f) recognize the nature and consequences of victimization; (g) require investigative interviews to be conducted in a manner most likely to permit the interviewed persons the maximum emotional comfort under the circumstances; (h) address record retention and retrieval; and (i) documentation of investigative interviews.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. The Washington state institute for public policy shall convene a work group to develop state guidelines for the development of child sexual abuse investigations protocols. The work group shall consist of representatives from the department of social and health services, the Washington association of sheriffs and police chiefs, and the Washington association of prosecuting attorneys.
The work group shall solicit input from a mental health professional certified under chapter 18.19 RCW, a physician licensed under chapter 18.71 RCW with substantial experience in child sexual abuse examinations, a member of the Washington state bar whose practice is primarily defense-oriented, the attorney general, a superior court judge, a child development specialist, a representative from an agency serving the developmentally disabled, an advanced registered nurse practitioner licensed under chapter 18.79 RCW, a representative from a child serving agency, and a victim's advocate.
The work group guidelines shall include issues to be addressed within local protocols adopted pursuant to this act. Those issues shall include multivictim cases, cases involving multiple suspects, information sharing between the department and law enforcement, methods to reduce the number of investigative interviews, and documentation of investigations.
The work group guidelines shall be provided as a resource to local agencies in developing local protocols mandated under this act.
The guidelines developed by the work group shall be presented to the legislature not later than December 1, 1999.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 26.44 RCW to read as follows:
(1) Each agency involved in investigating child sexual abuse shall document its role in handling cases and how it will coordinate with other local agencies or systems and shall adopt a local protocol based on the state guidelines. The department and local law enforcement agencies may include other agencies and systems that are involved with child sexual abuse victims in the multidisciplinary coordination.
(2) Each county shall develop a written protocol for handling criminal child sexual abuse investigations. The protocol shall address the coordination of child sexual abuse investigations between the prosecutor's office, law enforcement, the department, local advocacy groups, and any other local agency involved in the criminal investigation of child sexual abuse, including those investigations involving multiple victims and multiple offenders. The protocol shall be developed by the prosecuting attorney with the assistance of the agencies referenced in this subsection.
(3) Local protocols under this section shall be adopted and in place by July 1, 2000, and shall be submitted to the legislature prior to that date.
Sec. 5. RCW 74.14B.010 and 1987 c 503 s 8 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Caseworkers employed in children services shall meet minimum standards established by the department of social and health services. Comprehensive training for caseworkers shall be completed before such caseworkers are assigned to case-carrying responsibilities without direct supervision. Intermittent, part-time, and standby workers shall be subject to the same minimum standards and training.
(2) On-going specialized training shall be provided for persons responsible for investigating child sexual abuse. Training participants shall have the opportunity to practice interview skills and receive feedback from instructors.
(3) The department, the criminal justice training commission, the Washington association of sheriffs and police chiefs, and the Washington association of prosecuting attorneys shall design and implement state-wide training that contains consistent elements for persons engaged in the interviewing of children, including law enforcement, prosecution, and child protective services.
(4) The training shall: (a) Be based on research-based practices and standards; (b) minimize the trauma of all persons who are interviewed during abuse investigations; (c) provide methods of reducing the number of investigative interviews necessary whenever possible; (d) assure, to the extent possible, that investigative interviews are thorough, objective, and complete; (e) recognize needs of special populations, such as persons with developmental disabilities; (f) recognize the nature and consequences of victimization; (g) require investigative interviews to be conducted in a manner most likely to permit the interviewed persons the maximum emotional comfort under the circumstances; (h) address record retention and retrieval; and (i) documentation of investigative interviews.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. A new section is added to chapter 43.20A RCW to read as follows:
The department shall establish three pilot projects involving child sexual abuse investigations. The projects shall follow written protocols and use different methods and techniques to conduct and preserve interviews with alleged child victims of sexual abuse. The department shall provide the appropriate committees of the senate and house of representatives an interim report by December 15, 1999, and a final report by December 15, 2000. The Washington state institute for public policy shall evaluate the pilot projects and report to the legislature by December 1, 2000.
Sec. 7. RCW 26.44.035 and 1997 c 386 s 26 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) If the department or a law enforcement agency responds to a complaint of alleged child abuse or neglect and discovers that another agency has also responded to the complaint, the agency shall notify the other agency of their presence, and the agencies shall coordinate the investigation and keep each other apprised of progress.
(2) The department, each law enforcement agency, each county prosecuting attorney, each city attorney, and each court shall make as soon as practicable a written record and shall maintain records of all incidents of suspected child abuse reported to that person or agency.
(3) Every employee of the department who conducts an interview of any person involved in an allegation of abuse or neglect shall retain his or her original written records or notes setting forth the content of the interview unless the notes were entered into the electronic system operated by the department which is designed for storage, retrieval, and preservation of such records.
(4) Written records involving child sexual abuse shall, at a minimum, be a near verbatim record for the disclosure interview. The near verbatim record shall be produced within fifteen calendar days of the disclosure interview, unless waived by management on a case-by-case basis.
(5) Records kept under this section shall be identifiable by means of an agency code for child abuse.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 8. The legislature finds that the parent, guardian, or foster parent of a child who may be the victim of abuse or neglect may become involved in the investigation of the abuse or neglect. The parent, guardian, or foster parent may also be made a party to later court proceedings and be subject to a court-ordered examination by a physician, psychologist, or psychiatrist. It is the intent of the legislature by enacting section 9 of this act to avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest that may occur when the parent, guardian, or foster parent is also a law enforcement officer and is assigned to conduct the investigation of alleged abuse or neglect concerning the child.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 9. A new section is added to chapter 26.44 RCW to read as follows:
A law enforcement agency shall not allow a law enforcement officer to participate as an investigator in the investigation of alleged abuse or neglect concerning a child for whom the law enforcement officer is, or has been, a parent, guardian, or foster parent. This section is not intended to limit the authority or duty of a law enforcement officer to report, testify, or be examined as authorized or required by this chapter, or to perform other official duties as a law enforcement officer.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 10. If specific funding for the purposes of sections 1 through 7 this act, referencing sections 1 through 7 of this act by bill or chapter number, is not provided by June 30, 1999, in the omnibus appropriations act, sections 1 through 7 this act are null and void."
