WHEREAS, The students of Gig Harbor High School in Gig Harbor, Washington, have also demonstrated an impressive grasp of the Constitution of the United States; and

WHEREAS, This knowledge will enhance the lives of these students and direct their paths as they walk through life, proud in the knowledge that Americans have long stood for justice and liberty for all Americans; and

POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Representative McMahan: "It has come to my attention that comments that I made Monday afternoon have caused misunderstanding and offenses. I had acted Monday morning out of personal preference and spoke without consulting anyone else. Nothing I said in any way reflects the feelings or opinions of any other lawmaker as far as I know.

I want to make it clear that it was not my intention to offend anyone by my actions or words. Specifically, I want to state that it was not my intention to slight or show any ill-will toward Imam Mohamad Joban or any other American member of the Islamic faith, whose members I’m sure enjoy the freedom and opportunity of this country as much as I do.

As I pointed out in the statement that I released to the media yesterday, this nation was founded on the principle of the individual’s right to religious freedom. I have great respect for those who hold religious beliefs, whether they resemble or are vastly different from my own.

In fact, I would die for the right of any American to believe as he or she chooses. It is my personal belief that God gave this individual right and extends it to everyone. It has never been my intention to show disrespect for anyone else because of their deeply held religious beliefs and thereby cause an offense. In fact, I have made it a lifelong goal to live as much as possible without causing offense to others.

I apologize for offenses given and would like to ask forgiveness of any whom I have offended. It was never my intention for such offenses to occur in the first place.

I undestand that Imam Joban has extended an invitation to me to visit the local Islamic center where he presides. If in fact this is true, I intend to accept his gracious invitation. At that time I will personally deliver to him my apology for any offense he may have experienced.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker."

(1) In order to be eligible for the benefits of this chapter, an applicant must comply with the following requirements:

(a) The applicant must notify his or her employer as to his or her membership in the uniformed services within a reasonable time of accepting employment or becoming a member of the uniformed services. An employer may not take any action prohibited in RCW 73.16.032 against a person because the person provided notice of membership in the uniformed services to the employer.

(b) The applicant must furnish a receipt of an honorable, or under honorable conditions discharge, report of separation, certificate of satisfactory service, or other proof of having satisfactorily completed his or her service. Rejectees must furnish proof of orders for examination and rejection.

(i) In the case of an applicant whose period of service in the uniformed services was less than thirty-one days, by reporting to the employer:

(A) Not later than the beginning of the first full regularly scheduled work period on the first full calendar day following the completion of the period of service and the expiration of eight hours after a period allowing for the safe transportation of the applicant from the place of that service to the applicant's residence; or

(B) As soon as possible after the expiration of the eight-hour period in (c)(i)(A) of this subsection, if reporting within that period is impossible or unreasonable through no fault of the applicant;

(ii) In the case of an applicant who is absent from a position of employment for a period of any length for the purposes of an examination to determine the applicant's fitness to perform service in the uniformed services, by reporting in the manner and time referred to in (c)(i) of this subsection;

(iii) In the case of an applicant whose period of service in the uniformed services was for more than thirty days but less than one hundred eighty-one days, by submitting an application for reemployment with the employer not later than fourteen days after the completion of the period of service or if submitting such application within such period is impossible or unreasonable through no fault of the applicant, the next first full calendar day when submission of such application becomes possible;

(iv) In the case of an applicant whose period of service in the uniformed services was for more than one hundred eighty days, by submitting an application for reemployment with the employer not later than ninety days after the completion of the period of service;

The period of recovery may not exceed two years. This two-year period shall be extended by the minimum time required to accommodate the circumstances beyond the applicant's control that make reporting within the two-year period impossible or unreasonable;

(vi) In the case of an applicant who fails to report or apply for employment or reemployment within the appropriate period specified in this subsection (1)(c), the applicant does not automatically forfeit his or her entitlement to the rights and benefits conferred by this chapter, but is subject to the conduct rules, established policy, and general practices of the employer pertaining to explanations and discipline with respect to absence from scheduled work.

(d) An applicant who submits an application for reemployment shall provide to the applicant's employer, upon the request of that employer, documentation to establish that:

(i) The application is timely;

(ii) The applicant has not exceeded the service limitations set forth in this section, except as permitted under (c)(v) of this subsection; and

(iii) The applicant's entitlement to the benefits under this chapter has not been terminated pursuant to (e) of this subsection.

(f) The applicant must return and reenter the office or position within the appropriate period specified in (c) of this subsection after serving twelve weeks or less in a calendar year in state-ordered active duty: PROVIDED, That the governor, when declaring an emergency that necessitates a longer period of service, may extend the period of service in state-ordered active duty to up to twelve months after which the applicant is eligible for the benefits of this chapter.

(2) The failure of an applicant to provide documentation that satisfies rules adopted pursuant to subsection (1)(c) of this section shall not be a basis for denying reemployment in accordance with the provisions of this chapter if the failure occurs because such documentation does not exist or is not readily available at the time of the request of the employer. If, after such reemployment, documentation becomes available that establishes that the applicant does not meet one or more of the requirements referred to in subsection (1)(d) of this section, that applicant's employer may terminate the employment of the person and the provision of any rights or benefits afforded the person under this chapter.

(3) An employer may not delay or attempt to defeat a reemployment obligation by demanding documentation that does not then exist or is not then readily available.

(4) The application in subsection (1) of this section is not required if the giving of such application is precluded by military necessity or, under all of the relevant circumstances, the giving of such notice is otherwise impossible or unreasonable. A determination of military necessity for the purposes of this subsection shall be made by the adjutant general of the state of Washington military department and is not subject to judicial review.

(5) In any proceeding involving an issue of whether (a) reemployment is impossible or unreasonable because of a change in an employer's circumstances, (b) reemployment would impose an undue hardship on the employer, or (c) the employment is for a ((temporary position)) brief, nonrecurrent period, and there is no reasonable expectation that the employment will continue indefinitely or for a significant period, the employer has the burden of proving the impossibility or unreasonableness, undue hardship, or the brief ((or)), nonrecurrent nature of the employment without a reasonable expectation of continuing indefinitely or for a significant period."

MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.

On page 7, after line 8, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

(1) "Commercial property" means the same as in RCW 60.04.031.

(2) "Professional services, materials, or equipment supplied" means the same as in RCW 60.04.031.

(3) "Residential homeowner" means the same as in RCW 60.04.031.

(4) "Substantial completion" means the earliest of the following dates: (a) The date upon which the work of improvement has been completed as specified under the contract; (b) the date upon which the improvement becomes usable or fit for the purposes for which it was intended; (c) the date of issuance of a certificate of occupancy; or (d) the date of occupation or use of the improvement by the owner or an agent of the owner.

(5) "Work of improvement means work performed or provided, including professional services, materials or equipment provided, related to the new construction, repair, alteration, or remodel of a single-family residence or appurtenant garage for a residential homeowner. Work of improvement includes incremental improvements which are in themselves complete but do not necessarily bring a property improvement to a state of substantial completion.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. (1) Any moneys released to or obtained by an owner, developer, prime contractor, subcontractor, or person in charge of a construction project related to a work of improvement, shall be regarded and held in trust for the benefit of those persons making the payment and those who provided the professional services, materials or equipment in connection with the work of improvement giving rise to the receipt of moneys.

(2) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as requiring moneys held in trust by an owner, contractor, or subcontractor under subsection (1) of this section to be placed in a separate account. If an owner, contractor, or subcontractor commingles moneys held in trust under this section with other moneys, the mere commingling of the moneys does not constitute a violation of this chapter.

(3)(a) The use of trust moneys for any other purpose than to first pay when due those persons for whom the funds are held in trust shall be prima facie evidence of a trust violation and an intent to defraud in a civil action.

(b) The mishandling of work of improvement trust moneys is a matter affecting the public interest for the purpose of applying chapter 19.86 RCW. The failure to use the money as intended is not reasonable in relation to the development and preservation or business. A violation of this section constitutes an unfair or deceptive act or practice in trade or commerce for the purpose of applying chapter 19.86 RCW.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. (1) It is against public policy for any party to require any other party to waive any provision of this chapter.

(2) This chapter is to be liberally construed to provide security for all parties intended to be protected by its provisions.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. This chapter is applicable only to contracts entered into on or after September 1, 2003, relating to the new construction, repair, alteration, or remodel of a single-family residence or appurtenant garage for a residential homeowner.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. Sections 2 through 5 of this act shall constitute a new chapter in title 60 RCW."

WHEREAS, The state of Washington lost a true champion for vulnerable children with the death of Rosalyn "Rosie" Oreskovich on February 28, 2003; and

WHEREAS, Rosie's life was dedicated to the protection of abused and neglected children in our state; and

WHEREAS, Rosie worked diligently throughout her twenty-seven year career to improve child welfare services, starting as a social worker in 1976 with the Department of Social and Health Services; and

WHEREAS, Rosie returned to the Department of Social and Health Services in 1994, ultimately rising through the ranks to become Assistant Secretary of the Children's Administration; and

WHEREAS, The foster care system was transformed under Rosie's leadership, from one mired in troubles and inconsistencies to one that has successfully increased the recruitment and retention of foster care parents, the number of adoptions, the number of relative placements, and the number of reunifications in this state, and one which continues to strive for stability and permanence in children's lives; and

WHEREAS, Under Rosie's leadership, the Department of Social and Health Services embarked upon a campaign called "Kids Come First Action Agenda" to ensure that child protective and welfare services clearly prioritize the needs of abused and neglected children in this state; and

WHEREAS, Rosie's dedication to instilling best practice reforms in the state's child welfare system helped launch a statewide effort to become accredited by the National Council on Accreditation, an effort that was first inspired by the successful accreditation of the Vancouver office under Rosie's stewardship; and

WHEREAS, Rosie inspired respect and admiration among her staff, colleagues, and elected officials and won wide recognition for her contributions to the national dialogue on child well-being in this country;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, The House of Representatives praise the contributions made to our great state by Rosalyn Oreskovich, a remarkable individual whose tireless commitment to children leaves a lasting legacy for all residents in our state, and whose contributions to our state will never be forgotten.

HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 4634 was adopted.

There being no objection, the House advanced to the eleventh order of business.
