The prosecuting attorney shall be responsible for the acts of his deputies and may revoke appointments at will.

       Two or more prosecuting attorneys may agree that one or more deputies for any one of them may serve temporarily as deputy for any other of them on terms respecting compensation which are acceptable to said prosecuting attorneys.

       The provisions of chapter 39.34 RCW shall not apply to such agreements.

       The provisions of RCW 41.56.030(2) shall not be interpreted to permit a prosecuting attorney to alter the at-will relationship established between the prosecuting attorney and his or her appointed deputies by this section for a period of time exceeding his or her term of office.

      WHEREAS, It is the policy of the Washington State Legislature to recognize contributions of individuals who reflect the standards of excellence that enhance the well-being and quality of life of the citizens of the state of Washington; and

      WHEREAS, It is also the policy of the Washington State Legislature to honor the memory of such individuals; and

      WHEREAS, Hazel Wolf, born in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, on March 10, 1898, immigrated to the United States in 1923 and became a respected leader and activist promoting numerous social and environmental causes; and

      WHEREAS, Hazel Wolf devoted her life to protecting the environment and championing human rights, crusading with such drive and exuberance as to leave friends half her age in wonder; and

      WHEREAS, Hazel Wolf was a dynamic organizer responsible for starting twenty-one of the twenty-six chapters of the National Audubon Society in Washington State, served as secretary of the Seattle Audubon Society for thirty-seven years, and edited the newsletter of the Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs for over twenty years; and

      WHEREAS, Hazel Wolf’s activism was recognized with such awards as the Association of Biologists and Ecologists of Nicaragua Award for “Work for the Conservation of Nature” in 1985, Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility’s Paul Beeson Peace Award in 1995, the National Audubon Society’s Medal of Excellence and an honorary doctorate degree from Seattle University in 1997, and Seattle’s Spirit of America Award in 1999; and

Clarifying rights and responsibilities of bicyclists.

MOTION

      On motion of Senator Costa, the rules were suspended, Senate Bill No. 6547 was advanced to third reading, the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.

POINT OF INQUIRY

      Senator Benton: “Senator Costa, you mentioned in your opening remarks that the bicycle may be impounded and I thought I heard you say at no cost to the bicyclist. Is that correct?”

      Senator Costa: “Yes, it is correct and it is only an option that the officer may use if there are no other alternatives. The officer is not required to impound the bicycle.”

      Senator Benton: “Okay, thank you.”

      Further debate ensued.

POINT OF INQUIRY

      Senator Deccio: “Senator Costa, if a bicyclist has to be treated the same as a pedestrian when they are crossing the road or a crosswalk, do they have to dismount or can they just swerve right off the path and on to the crosswalk?”

      Senator Costa: “Senator, thank you for your question. We are clarifying that if that they are in a crosswalk, whether they are a pedestrian or a bicyclist, they must certainly take safety precautions into account. If they are in a crosswalk, then a motorist needs to stop for them.. They are not required to dismount

      “Let me tell you what the Supreme Court said in their decision. They said, ‘It is liken to if you would have three children walking across a crosswalk, actually one who is walking, one who is on roller skates and one who is on a bicycle--a motorist under the current law would have to stop for the first two, but would not have to stop for the one who is riding their bicycle through the crosswalk. We are clarifying that, if indeed they are in a crosswalk, motorists do have to stop for them. The bicyclists themselves have to yield for the pedestrians. If they happen to be on the roadway, they have to abide by the rules of the road.”

      Senator Deccio: “Thank you.”

      Further debate ensued.

      The President declared the question before the Senate to be the roll call on the final passage of Senate Bill No. 6547.

By Senator Kohl-Welles, Wojahn, Jacobsen, Fairley, Patterson, Eide, Horn, Heavey, Spanel, Sheahan, McAuliffe, Roach, Brown, Fraser, Long, Sheldon, B., Franklin, and Rasmussen

      WHEREAS, Athletics is one of the most effective ways for girls and women in the United States to develop leadership skills, self discipline, initiative, and confidence; and

       WHEREAS, Sport and fitness activities contribute to emotional and physical well-being, and girls and women can benefit from both strong minds and strong bodies; and

       WHEREAS, The communication and cooperation skills learned through athletic experience play a key role in the contributions of athletes to the home, workplace, and society; and

       WHEREAS, Early motor skill training and enjoyable experiences of physical activity strongly influence lifelong habits of physical fitness; and

       WHEREAS, Girls and women who participate in sports have increased levels of self-esteem, less depression, and reduced risk for heart disease, breast cancer, and other illnesses; and

       WHEREAS, The bonds built among girls and women through athletics help break down the social barriers of racism and prejudice; and

       WHEREAS, The history of girls and women in sports is rich and long, but there has been little national recognition of the significance of the athletic achievements of women; and

       WHEREAS, High school athletic teams in the state of Washington have achieved many accomplishments that serve as an inspiration to young women and promote the values of teamwork and cooperation; and

      WHEREAS, Washington colleges and universities have fostered outstanding achievements in women's athletics, including All-American University of Washington softball player Becky Newbry, who has been named this month as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer Women’s Sports Star of the Year and the four other nominees, UW Athletic Director Barbara Hedges, U. S. National Team weight lifters Melanie Kosoff-Roach and Lea Forman, and Puyallup American record-setting swimmer Megan Quann; and

       WHEREAS, Although the state of Washington is fortunate to have Barbara Hedges serving as Athletic Director at the University of Washington, an NCAA Division 1 School, women are underrepresented in the leadership positions of coaches, officials, and administrators, and there is a need for women to serve in these positions to ensure a fair representation of the abilities of women, and to provide role models for young female athletes; and

      WHEREAS, Accomplished Washington women athletes are helping other highly talented, but underfunded athletes through encouragement, promotion and financial support, such as U. S. Open Womens’ 58 Kgs Olympic Weightlifting Champion Melanie Kosoff Roach, who has established the Big Mountain Association to assist other young and promising athletes; and

       WHEREAS, The state of Washington has produced stellar women athletes, whose spirit, talent, and accomplishments distinguished them from others and were a source of inspiration and pride to all of us, such as Michelle Akers, the star midfielder for the World Cup champion U.S. women’s soccer team; and

       WHEREAS, Although the athletic opportunities for female students at the college and high school level have improved because of federal and state gender equity laws, the participation rates of male and female athletes at the college and high school levels are still not equitable; and

      WHEREAS, The number of funded research projects focusing on the specific needs of women athletes is limited, and the information provided by the projects is imperative to the health and performance of future women athletes;

      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State Senate celebrate Washington Girls and Women in Sports Day on February 9, 2000, and encourage others to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

POINT OF INQUIRY

      Senator Stevens: “Senator Fraser, does this bill address the need for a minor to have his parents’ consent for a medical procedure?”

      Senator Benton: “The question that I have is, when it comes to the donation part--not the registry part--does this require parental consent or can a fifteen or sixteen year old just decide that they are going to become a bone--”
