      On motion of Senator Jacobsen, the following striking amendment by Senators Jacobsen, Hargrove and Tim Sheldon was adopted:

       Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

       "Sec. 1. RCW 76.12.080 and 1988 c 128 s 28 are each amended to read as follows:

       The department shall take such steps as it deems advisable for locating and acquiring lands suitable for state forests and reforestation. Acquisitions made pursuant to this section shall be at no more than fair market value. No ((sum in excess of two dollars per acre shall ever be paid or allowed either in cash, bonds or otherwise, for any lands suitable for forest growth, but devoid of such; nor shall any sum in excess of six dollars per acre be paid or allowed either in cash, bonds or otherwise, for any lands adequately restocked with young growth or left in a satisfactory natural condition for natural reforestation and continuous forest production; nor shall any)) lands shall ever be acquired by the department except upon the approval of the title by the attorney general and on a conveyance being made to the state of Washington by good and sufficient deed. No forest lands shall be designated, purchased, or acquired by the department unless the area so designated or the area to be acquired shall, in the judgment of the department, be of sufficient acreage and so located that it can be economically administered for forest development purposes. ((Whenever the department acquires or designates an area as forest lands it shall designate such area by a distinctive name or number, e.g., "State forest No. . . . .", or, "Cascade State Forest")).

       Sec. 2. RCW 76.12.120 and 1998 c 71 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

       Except as provided in section 3 of this act, all land, acquired or designated by the department as state forest land, shall be forever reserved from sale, but the timber and other products thereon may be sold or the land may be leased in the same manner and for the same purposes as is authorized for state granted land if the department finds such sale or lease to be in the best interests of the state and approves the terms and conditions thereof.

       Except as provided in RCW 79.12.035, all money derived from the sale of timber or other products, or from lease, or from any other source from the land, except where the Constitution of this state or RCW 76.12.030 requires other disposition, shall be disposed of as follows:

       (1) Fifty percent shall be placed in the forest development account.

       (2) Fifty percent shall be prorated and distributed to the state general fund, to be dedicated for the benefit of the public schools, and the county in which the land is located according to the relative proportions of tax levies of all taxing districts in the county. The portion to be distributed to the state general fund shall be based on the regular school levy rate under RCW 84.52.065 as now or hereafter amended and the levy rate for any maintenance and operation special school levies. With regard to the portion to be distributed to the counties, the department shall certify to the state treasurer the amounts to be distributed within seven working days of receipt of the money. The state treasurer shall distribute funds to the counties four times per month, with no more than ten days between each payment date. The money distributed to the county shall be paid, distributed, and prorated to the various other funds in the same manner as general taxes are paid and distributed during the year of payment.

       NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 76.12 RCW to read as follows:

       (1) With the approval of the board of natural resources, the department may directly transfer or dispose of lands acquired under this chapter without public auction, if such lands consist of ten contiguous acres or less, or have a value of twenty-five thousand dollars or less. Such disposal may only occur in the following circumstances:

       (a) Transfers in lieu of condemnation; and

       (b) Transfers to resolve trespass and property ownership disputes.

       (2) Real property to be transferred or disposed of under this section shall be transferred or disposed of only after appraisal and for at least fair market value, and only if such transaction is in the best interest of the state or affected trust.

       (3) The proceeds from real property transferred or disposed of under this section shall be deposited into the park land trust revolving fund and be solely used to buy replacement land within the same county as the property transferred or disposed.
