       Representative Eickmeyer moved the adoption of amendment (228):


        Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:


        "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) The legislature finds that Hood Canal is a precious aquatic resource of our state. The legislature finds that Hood Canal is a rich source of recreation, fishing, aquaculture, and aesthetic enjoyment for the citizens of this state. The legislature also finds that Hood Canal has great cultural significance for the tribes in the Hood Canal area. The legislature therefore recognizes Hood Canal's substantial environmental, cultural, economic, recreational, and aesthetic importance to Washington.

        (2) The legislature finds that Hood Canal is a marine water of the state at significant risk. The legislature finds that Hood Canal has a "dead zone" related to low-dissolved oxygen concentrations, a condition that has recurred for many years. The legislature also finds this problem and various contributors to the problem were documented in the May 2004 Preliminary Assessment and Corrective Action Plan published by the state Puget Sound action team and the Hood Canal coordinating council.

        (3) The legislature further finds that significant research, monitoring, and study efforts are currently occurring regarding Hood Canal's low-dissolved oxygen concentrations. The legislature recognizes that federal, state, tribal, and local governments and other organizations and entities are coordinating research, monitoring, and modeling efforts through the Hood Canal low-dissolved oxygen program. The legislature also recognizes that these entities and others are continuing individual efforts to study and identify potential solutions for Hood Canal's low-dissolved oxygen concentrations. The legislature also recognizes numerous public, private, and community organizations are working to provide public education regarding Hood Canal's low- dissolved oxygen concentrations. The legislature recognizes and encourages the continuation of these efforts.

        (4) The legislature finds a need exists for the state to take additional action to address and resolve Hood Canal's low-dissolved oxygen concentrations. The legislature also finds a need exists to designate the state and local entities to develop, coordinate, and administer a Hood Canal rehabilitation program and funding.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. (1) The development of a program for rehabilitation of Hood Canal is authorized in Jefferson, Kitsap, and Mason counties within the aquatic rehabilitation zone one.

        (2) The Puget Sound action team is designated as the state lead agency for the rehabilitation program authorized in this section.

        (3) The Hood Canal coordinating council is designated as the local management board for the rehabilitation program authorized in this section.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. (1) The Hood Canal coordinating council shall serve as the local management board for aquatic rehabilitation zone one. The local management board shall coordinate local government efforts with respect to the program authorized according to section 2 of this act. In the Hood Canal area, the Hood Canal coordinating council also shall:


        (a) Serve as the lead entity and the regional recovery organization for the purposes of chapter 77.85 RCW for Hood Canal summer chum and other salmon as agreed to by the governor's salmon recovery office; and

        (b) Assist in coordinating activities under chapter 90.82 RCW.

        (2) When developing and implementing the program authorized in section 2 of this act and when establishing funding criteria according to subsection (7) of this section, the Puget Sound action team and the local management board shall solicit participation by federal, tribal, state, and local agencies and universities and nonprofit organizations with expertise in areas related to program activities. The local management board may include state and federal agency representatives as nonvoting management board members or may appoint them to a technical advisory committee. The local management board also may appoint additional persons to a technical advisory committee as needed.

        (3) The local management board and the Puget Sound action team shall participate in the development of the program authorized under section 2 of this act.

        (4) The local management board and its participating local and tribal governments shall assess concepts for a regional governance structure and shall submit a report regarding the findings and recommendations to the appropriate committees of the legislature.

        (5) Any of the local management board's participating counties and tribes, any federal, tribal, state, or local agencies, or any universities or nonprofit organizations may continue individual efforts and activities for rehabilitation of Hood Canal. Nothing in this section limits the authority of units of local government to enter into interlocal agreements under chapter 39.34 RCW or any other provision of law.

        (6) The local management board may not exercise authority over land or water within the individual counties or otherwise preempt the authority of any units of local government.

        (7) The local management board and the Puget Sound action team may receive and disburse funding for projects, studies, and activities related to Hood Canal's low-dissolved oxygen concentrations. The Puget Sound action team and the local management board shall jointly coordinate a process to determine the prioritization, approval, and funding of projects, studies, and activities for which the Puget Sound action team receives state funding specifically allocated for Hood Canal corrective actions to implement this section. The local management board and the Puget Sound action team shall establish criteria for funding these projects, studies, and activities based upon their likely value in addressing and resolving Hood Canal's low-dissolved oxygen concentrations. Nothing in this section prohibits any federal, tribal, state, or local agencies, universities, or nonprofit organizations from receiving funding for specific projects that may assist in the rehabilitation of Hood Canal.

        (8) The local management board may hire and fire staff, including an executive director, enter into contracts, accept grants and other moneys, disburse funds, make recommendations to local governments about potential regulations and the development of programs and incentives upon request, pay all necessary expenses, and choose a fiduciary agent.

        (9) The local management board shall report its progress on a quarterly basis to the legislative bodies of the participating counties and tribes and the participating state agencies. The local management board also shall submit an annual report describing its efforts and successes in implementing the program established according to section 2 of this act to the appropriate committees of the legislature.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. Sections 2 and 3 of this act are each added to chapter 90.-- RCW (the new chapter created in Substitute House Bill No. 2081).


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect immediately."

       ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE HOUSE BILL NO. 2097, having received the necessary constitutional majority, was declared passed.


       HOUSE BILL NO. 2086, By Representatives McCoy, Eickmeyer, Chase, Wallace, Blake, Linville, Morrell, Upthegrove, Appleton and Hunt


       Authorizing extension or expansion of sewage treatment systems in rural areas when necessary to address Hood Canal concerns.



       The bill was read the second time.


       Representative Eickmeyer moved that Substitute House Bill No. 2086 be substituted for House Bill No. 2086 and the substitute bill be placed on the second reading calendar. Representative Eickmeyer spoke in favor of the motion. The motion was adopted.


       SUBSTITUTE HOUSE BILL NO. 2086 was read the second time.


       Representative Pearson moved the adoption of amendment (243):


         Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:


         "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) The legislature finds that Hood Canal is a precious aquatic resource of our state. The legislature finds that Hood Canal is a rich source of recreation, fishing, aquaculture, and aesthetic enjoyment for the citizens of this state. The legislature also finds that Hood Canal has great cultural significance for the tribes in the Hood Canal area. The legislature therefore recognizes Hood Canal's substantial environmental, cultural, economic, recreational, and aesthetic importance to Washington.

         (2) The legislature finds that Hood Canal is a marine water of the state at significant risk. The legislature finds that Hood Canal has a "dead zone" related to low-dissolved oxygen concentrations, a condition that has recurred for many years. The legislature also finds this problem and various contributors to the problem were documented in the May 2004 Preliminary Assessment and Corrective Action Plan published by the state Puget Sound action team and the Hood Canal coordinating council. The legislature recognizes this report identifies on-site sewage systems as a prime contributor of nitrogen, a nutrient linked to the low-dissolved oxygen concentrations in Hood Canal.

         (3) The legislature recognizes the state's growth management act specifies in RCW 36.70A.110(4) that generally it is not appropriate to extend or expand urban governmental services, such as sewer systems, into rural areas. The legislature also recognizes that RCW 36.70A.110(4) contains an exception to this general rule in those limited circumstances shown to be necessary to protect basic public health and safety and the environment when the facilities are financially supportable at rural densities and do not permit urban development.

         (4) The legislature recognizes the Washington supreme court in Thurston County v. The Cooper Point Association, 148 Wn.2d 1 (2002), approved a restrictive interpretation of the term "necessary" in the RCW 36.70A.110(4) exception to accomplish the legislature's intent in enacting these and other growth management act provisions. The court in the Cooper Point case also noted the existing sewage treatment plant and septic systems at issue in that case were not experiencing waste discharge problems that threaten public health and the environment. The legislature recognizes and affirms the RCW 36.70A.110(4) exception specifying that extension or expansion of urban governmental services, such as sewer systems, must be shown necessary to protect public health and the environment.

         (5) The legislature finds that Hood Canal's low-dissolved oxygen concentrations and identification of failing septic systems as a prime contributor to the problem satisfy the necessity requirement in the RCW 36.70A.110(4) exception. The legislature intends to authorize limited extension or expansion of sewer systems in the Hood Canal area to address the problems associated with failing septic systems in the Hood Canal area.

         (6) The legislature also intends to provide for an assessment of the efficacy of nitrogen reduction capabilities in existing and alternative on-site sewage treatment systems and an inventory of existing on-site sewage treatment systems in the Hood Canal vicinity to support development of sewage treatment solutions for this area.


         Sec. 2. RCW 36.70A.110 and 2004 c 206 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

         (1) Each county that is required or chooses to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 shall designate an urban growth area or areas within which urban growth shall be encouraged and outside of which growth can occur only if it is not urban in nature. Each city that is located in such a county shall be included within an urban growth area. An urban growth area may include more than a single city. An urban growth area may include territory that is located outside of a city only if such territory already is characterized by urban growth whether or not the urban growth area includes a city, or is adjacent to territory already characterized by urban growth, or is a designated new fully contained community as defined by RCW 36.70A.350.

         (2) Based upon the growth management population projection made for the county by the office of financial management, the county and each city within the county shall include areas and densities sufficient to permit the urban growth that is projected to occur in the county or city for the succeeding twenty-year period, except for those urban growth areas contained totally within a national historical reserve.

         Each urban growth area shall permit urban densities and shall include greenbelt and open space areas. In the case of urban growth areas contained totally within a national historical reserve, the city may restrict densities, intensities, and forms of urban growth as determined to be necessary and appropriate to protect the physical, cultural, or historic integrity of the reserve. An urban growth area determination may include a reasonable land market supply factor and shall permit a range of urban densities and uses. In determining this market factor, cities and counties may consider local circumstances. Cities and counties have discretion in their comprehensive plans to make many choices about accommodating growth.

         Within one year of July 1, 1990, each county that as of June 1, 1991, was required or chose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040, shall begin consulting with each city located within its boundaries and each city shall propose the location of an urban growth area. Within sixty days of the date the county legislative authority of a county adopts its resolution of intention or of certification by the office of financial management, all other counties that are required or choose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 shall begin this consultation with each city located within its boundaries. The county shall attempt to reach agreement with each city on the location of an urban growth area within which the city is located. If such an agreement is not reached with each city located within the urban growth area, the county shall justify in writing why it so designated the area an urban growth area. A city may object formally with the department over the designation of the urban growth area within which it is located. Where appropriate, the department shall attempt to resolve the conflicts, including the use of mediation services.

         (3) Urban growth should be located first in areas already characterized by urban growth that have adequate existing public facility and service capacities to serve such development, second in areas already characterized by urban growth that will be served adequately by a combination of both existing public facilities and services and any additional needed public facilities and services that are provided by either public or private sources, and third in the remaining portions of the urban growth areas. Urban growth may also be located in designated new fully contained communities as defined by RCW 36.70A.350.

         (4) In general, cities are the units of local government most appropriate to provide urban governmental services. In general, it is not appropriate that urban governmental services be extended to or expanded in rural areas except in those limited circumstances shown to be necessary to protect basic public health and safety and the environment and when such services are financially supportable at rural densities and do not permit urban development. Extensions or expansions of sewer systems consistent with the requirements of section 3 of this act satisfy the requirements of this section.

         (5) On or before October 1, 1993, each county that was initially required to plan under RCW 36.70A.040(1) shall adopt development regulations designating interim urban growth areas under this chapter. Within three years and three months of the date the county legislative authority of a county adopts its resolution of intention or of certification by the office of financial management, all other counties that are required or choose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 shall adopt development regulations designating interim urban growth areas under this chapter. Adoption of the interim urban growth areas may only occur after public notice; public hearing; and compliance with the state environmental policy act, chapter 43.21C RCW, and RCW 36.70A.110. Such action may be appealed to the appropriate growth management hearings board under RCW 36.70A.280. Final urban growth areas shall be adopted at the time of comprehensive plan adoption under this chapter.

         (6) Each county shall include designations of urban growth areas in its comprehensive plan.

         (7) An urban growth area designated in accordance with this section may include within its boundaries urban service areas or potential annexation areas designated for specific cities or towns within the county.


         NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. Sewer systems may be extended to or expanded in rural areas within aquatic rehabilitation zone one according to the requirements of this section.


         (1) Municipal sewer systems and community sewage collection and treatment facilities may be constructed in or extended to areas in which:

         (a) Clusters of high-density development are present;

         (b) Water quality problems associated with discharge of nutrients from on-site sewage treatment systems have been documented; and

         (c) The treatment efficiency of existing on-site sewage treatment systems is poor.

         (2) Systems and facilities constructed in or extended into rural areas shall include nitrogen removal treatment capability when practicable.

         (3) Consistent with the requirements of RCW 36.70A.110(4), any system or facility constructed or expanded to serve residences in rural areas of aquatic rehabilitation zone one shall be:

         (a) Financially supportable at rural densities; and

         (b) Conditioned to prohibit service of urban development.


         NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. (1) The Puget Sound action team shall assess the effectiveness of nitrogen treatment provided by currently approved and alternative on-site sewage treatment technologies. The Puget Sound action team may consult with other federal, state, tribal, and local agencies in conducting this assessment. The Puget Sound action team shall submit a report documenting the findings of this assessment to the appropriate committees of the legislature by December 1, 2005.

         (2) The Puget Sound action team, in consultation with local and state health agencies, shall conduct an inventory of on-site sewage systems operating in the Hood Canal watershed. The Puget Sound action team shall submit the inventory to the appropriate committees of the legislature by December 1, 2006.


         NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. Sections 3 and 4 of this act are each added to chapter 90.-- RCW (the new chapter created in Substitute House Bill No. 2081).


         NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect immediately."

       With the consent of the House, amendments (130), (131) and (132) were withdrawn.


       Representative Simpson moved the adoption of amendment (252):


        Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:


        "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that ambulance and emergency medical services are essential services and the availability of these services is vital to preserving and promoting the health, safety, and welfare of people in local communities throughout the state. All persons, businesses, and industries benefit from the availability of ambulance and emergency medical services, and survival rates can be increased when these services are available, adequately funded, and appropriately regulated. It is the legislature's intent to explicitly recognize local jurisdictions' ability and authority to collect utility service charges to fund ambulance and emergency medical service systems that are based, at least in some part, upon a charge for the availability of these services.



        Sec. 2. RCW 35.21.766 and 2004 c 129 s 34 are each amended to read as follows:

        (1) Whenever a regional fire protection service authority ((or the legislative authority of any city or town)) determines that the fire protection jurisdictions that are members of the authority ((or the city or town or a substantial portion of the city or town is)) are not adequately served by existing private ambulance service, the governing board of the authority may by resolution((, or the legislative authority of the city or town may by appropriate legislation,)) provide for the establishment of a system of ambulance service to be operated by the authority as a public utility ((of the city or town, or)) operated by contract after a call for bids.

        (2) The legislative authority of any city or town may establish an ambulance service to be operated as a public utility. However, the legislative authority of the city or town shall not provide for the establishment of an ambulance service utility that would compete with any existing private ambulance service, unless the legislative authority of the city or town determines that the city or town, or a substantial portion of the city or town, is not adequately served by an existing private ambulance service. In determining the adequacy of an existing private ambulance service, the legislative authority of the city or town shall take into consideration objective generally accepted medical standards and reasonable levels of service which shall be published by the city or town legislative authority. When it is preliminarily concluded that the private ambulance service is inadequate, before issuing a call for bids or before the city or town establishes an ambulance service utility, the legislative authority of the city or town shall allow a minimum of sixty days for the private ambulance service to meet the generally accepted medical standards and reasonable levels of service.

        (3) The city or town legislative authority is authorized to set and collect rates and charges in an amount sufficient to regulate, operate, and maintain an ambulance utility. Prior to setting such rates and charges, the legislative authority must determine, through a cost-of-service study, the total cost necessary to regulate, operate, and maintain the ambulance utility. Total costs shall not include capital cost for the construction, major renovation, or major repair of the physical plant. For purposes of establishing and setting rates and charges under this section, costs shall be reduced by any revenues collected and described in subsection (5)(a) through (c) of this section. Once the legislative authority determines the total costs, the legislative authority shall then identify that portion of the total costs that are attributable to the availability of the ambulance service and that portion of the total costs that are attributable to the demand placed on the ambulance utility.

        (a) Availability costs are those costs attributable to the basic infrastructure needed to respond to a single call for service within the utility's response criteria. Availability costs may include costs for dispatch, labor, training of personnel, equipment, patient care supplies, and maintenance of equipment.

        (b) Demand costs are those costs that are attributable to the burden placed on the ambulance service by individual calls for ambulance service. Demand costs shall include costs related to frequency of calls, distances from hospitals, and other factors identified in the cost-of-service study conducted to assess burdens imposed on the ambulance utility.

        (c) Beginning on the effective date of this act, the rate attributable to costs for availability described under (a) of this subsection shall be uniformly applied across user classifications within the utility.

        (d) Beginning on the effective date of this act, the rate attributable to costs for demand, described under (b) of this subsection, shall be established and billed to each utility user classification based on each user classification's burden on the ambulance utility.

        (e) The fee charged by the utility shall reflect a combination of the availability cost and the demand cost.

        (4) The combined rates charged shall reflect an exemption for persons who are medicaid eligible and reside in a nursing facility, boarding home, or adult family home, and shall reflect an exemption or reduction for designated classes consistent with Article VIII, section 7 of the state Constitution. The amounts of exemption or reduction shall be a general expense of the utility, and designated as an availability cost, to be spread uniformly across the utility user classifications.

        (5) In each city or town operating an ambulance utility pursuant to this section:

        (a) The legislative authority must continue to allocate at least ninety percent of the total amount of general fund revenues expended, as of May 6, 2004, toward the total costs necessary to regulate, operate, and maintain the ambulance utility.

        However, cities or towns that operated an ambulance service as a public utility as of May 6, 2004, and commingled general fund dollars and ambulance service utility dollars, may reasonably estimate that portion of general fund dollars that were, as of that date, applied toward the operation of the ambulance service utility, and at least ninety percent of such estimated amount must then continue to be applied toward the total cost necessary to regulate, operate, and maintain the ambulance utility.

        (b) The legislative authority must allocate available emergency medical service levy funds towards the total costs necessary to regulate, operate, and maintain the ambulance utility.

        (c) The legislative authority must allocate all revenues received through direct billing to the individual user of the ambulance service to the demand-related costs under subsection (3)(b) of this section.

        (d) The total revenue generated by the rates and charges shall not exceed the total costs necessary to regulate, operate, and maintain an ambulance utility.

        (e) Revenues generated by the rates and charges must be deposited in a separate fund or funds and be used only for the purpose of paying for the cost of regulating, maintaining, and operating the ambulance utility.

        (6) Ambulance service rates charged pursuant to this section do not constitute taxes or charges under RCW 82.02.050 through 82.02.090, or RCW 35.21.768, or charges otherwise prohibited by law."

       Representative Green moved the adoption of amendment (232):


        Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:


        "Sec. 1. RCW 71.24.015 and 2001 c 334 s 6 and 2001 c 323 s 1 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

        It is the intent of the legislature to establish a community mental health program which shall help people experiencing mental illness to retain a respected and productive position in the community. This will be accomplished through ((programs)) resilience and recovery-based programs, including recognized evidence-based practices, which provide for:

        (1) Access to a package of mental health services that is consistent across the state for adults of the state who are acutely mentally ill, chronically mentally ill, or seriously disturbed and children of the state who are acutely mentally ill, severely emotionally disturbed, or seriously disturbed, which services recognize the special needs of underserved populations, including minorities, children, the elderly, disabled, and low-income persons. Access to mental health services shall not be limited by a person's history of confinement in a state, federal, or local correctional facility. It is also the purpose of this chapter to promote the early identification of mentally ill children and to ensure that they receive the mental health care and treatment which is appropriate to their developmental level. This care should improve home, school, and community functioning, maintain children in a safe and nurturing home environment, and should enable treatment decisions to be made in response to clinical needs in accordance with sound professional judgment while also recognizing parents' rights to participate in treatment decisions for their children;

        (2) The involvement of persons with mental illness, their family members, and advocates in designing and implementing mental health services that reduce unnecessary hospitalization and incarceration and promote the recovery and employment of persons with mental illness. To improve the quality of services available and promote the rehabilitation, recovery, and reintegration of persons with mental illness, consumer and advocate participation in mental health services is an integral part of the community mental health system and shall be supported;

        (3) Accountability of efficient and effective services through state of the art outcome and performance measures and statewide standards for monitoring client and system outcomes, performance, and reporting of client and system outcome information. These processes shall be designed so as to maximize the use of available resources for direct care of people with a mental illness and to assure uniform data collection across the state;

        (((3))) (4) Minimum service delivery standards;

        (((4))) (5) Priorities for the use of available resources for the care of the mentally ill consistent with the priorities defined in the statute;

        (((5))) (6) Coordination of services within the department, including those divisions within the department that provide services to children, between the department and the office of the superintendent of public instruction, and among state mental hospitals, ((county authorities)) regional support networks, community mental health services, and other support services, which shall to the maximum extent feasible also include the families of the mentally ill, and other service providers; and

        (((6))) (7) Coordination of services aimed at reducing duplication in service delivery and promoting complementary services among all entities that provide mental health services to adults and children.

        It is the policy of the state to encourage the provision of a full range of treatment and rehabilitation services in the state for mental disorders including services operated by consumers and advocates. The legislature intends to encourage the development of ((county-based and county-managed)) regional mental health services with adequate local flexibility to assure eligible people in need of care access to the least-restrictive treatment alternative appropriate to their needs, and the availability of treatment components to assure continuity of care. To this end, ((counties are encouraged to enter into joint operating agreements with other counties to form)) regional systems of care ((which)) will integrate planning, administration, and service delivery duties ((assigned to counties)) under chapters 71.05 and 71.24 RCW to consolidate administration, reduce administrative layering, and reduce administrative costs. The legislature hereby finds and declares that sound fiscal management requires vigilance to ensure that funds appropriated by the legislature for the provision of needed community mental health programs and services are ultimately expended solely for the purpose for which they were appropriated, and not for any other purpose.

        It is further the intent of the legislature to integrate the provision of services to provide continuity of care through all phases of treatment. To this end the legislature intends to promote active engagement with mentally ill persons and collaboration between families and service providers.


        Sec. 2. RCW 71.24.025 and 2001 c 323 s 8 are each amended to read as follows:

        (b) Being gravely disabled as defined in RCW 71.05.020 or, in the case of a child, a gravely disabled minor as defined in RCW 71.34.020; or

        (c) Presenting a likelihood of serious harm as defined in RCW 71.05.020 or, in the case of a child, as defined in RCW 71.34.020.

        (2) "Available resources" means funds appropriated for the purpose of providing community mental health programs ((under RCW 71.24.045)), federal funds, except those provided according to Title XIX of the Social Security Act, and state funds appropriated under this chapter or chapter 71.05 RCW by the legislature during any biennium for the purpose of providing residential services, resource management services, community support services, and other mental health services. This does not include funds appropriated for the purpose of operating and administering the state psychiatric hospitals, except as negotiated according to RCW 71.24.300(1)(((e))) (d).

        (3) "Child" means a person under the age of eighteen years.

        (4) "Chronically mentally ill adult" means an adult who has a mental disorder and meets at least one of the following criteria:

       Representative Lantz moved the adoption of amendment (235):


        Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:


        "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature recognizes that it is important that dependent persons who are witnesses and victims of crime cooperate with law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies and that their assistance contributes to state and local enforcement efforts and the general effectiveness of the criminal justice system. The legislature finds that the state has an interest in making it possible for courts to adequately and fairly conduct cases involving dependent persons who are victims of crimes. Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature, by means of this chapter, to insure that all dependent persons who are victims and witnesses of crime are treated with sensitivity, courtesy, and special care and that their rights be protected by law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and judges in a manner no less vigorous than the protection afforded to other victims, witnesses, and criminal defendants.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter.

        (1) "Crime" means an act punishable as a felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor under the laws of this state or equivalent federal or local law.

        (2) "Dependent person" has the same meaning as that term is defined in RCW 9A.42.010.

        (3) "Victim" means a living person against whom a crime has been committed.

        (4) "Witness" means a person who has been or is expected to be summoned to testify for the prosecution or defense in a criminal action, or who by reason of having relevant information is subject to call or likely to be called as a witness, whether or not an action or proceeding has been commenced.

        (5) "Family member" means a person who is not accused of a crime and who is an adult child, adult sibling, spouse, parent, or legal guardian of the dependent person.

        (6) "Advocate" means any person not accused of a crime, including a family member, approved by the witness or victim, in consultation with his or her guardian if applicable, who provides support to a dependent person during any legal proceeding.

        (7) "Court proceedings" means any court proceeding conducted during the course of the prosecution of a crime committed against a dependent person, including pretrial hearings, trial, sentencing, or appellate proceedings.

        (8) "Identifying information" means the dependent person's name, address, location, and photograph, and in cases in which the dependent person is a relative of the alleged perpetrator, identification of the relationship between the dependent person and the alleged perpetrator.

        (9) "Crime victim/witness program" means any crime victim and witness program of a county or local law enforcement agency or prosecutor's office, any rape crisis center's sexual assault victim advocacy program as provided in chapter 70.125 RCW, any domestic violence program's legal and community advocate program for domestic violence victims as provided in chapter 70.123 RCW, or any other crime victim advocacy program which provides trained advocates to assist crime victims during the investigation and prosecution of the crime.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. (1) In addition to the rights of victims and witnesses provided for in RCW 7.69.030, there shall be every reasonable effort made by law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and judges to assure that dependent persons who are victims or witnesses are afforded the rights enumerated in this section. The enumeration of rights under this chapter shall not be construed to create substantive rights and duties, and the application of an enumerated right in an individual case is subject to the discretion of the law enforcement agency, prosecutor, or judge. Dependent persons who are victims or witnesses in the criminal justice system have the following rights, which apply to any criminal court or juvenile court proceeding:

        (a) To have explained in language easily understood by the dependent person, all legal proceedings and police investigations in which the dependent person may be involved.

        (b) With respect to a dependent person who is a victim of a sex or violent crime, to have a crime victim advocate from a crime victim/witness program, or any other advocate of the victim's choosing, present at any prosecutorial or defense interviews with the dependent person. This subsection applies unless it creates undue hardship and if the presence of the crime victim advocate or other advocate does not cause any unnecessary delay in the investigation or prosecution of the case. The role of the crime victim advocate or other advocate is to provide emotional support to the dependent person and to promote the dependent person's feelings of security and safety.

        (c) To be provided, whenever possible, a secure waiting area during court proceedings and to have an advocate or support person remain with the dependent person prior to and during any court proceedings.

        (d) To allow an advocate to make recommendations to the prosecuting attorney about the ability of the dependent person to cooperate with prosecution and the potential effect of the proceedings on the dependent person.

        (e) To allow an advocate to provide information to the court concerning the dependent person's ability to understand the nature of the proceedings.

        (f) To be provided information or appropriate referrals to social service agencies to assist the dependent person with the emotional impact of the crime, the subsequent investigation, and judicial proceedings in which the dependent person is involved.

        (g) To allow an advocate to be present in court while the dependent person testifies in order to provide emotional support to the dependent person.

        (h) To provide information to the court as to the need for the presence of other supportive persons at the court proceedings while the dependent person testifies in order to promote the dependent person's feelings of security and safety.

        (i) To allow law enforcement agencies the opportunity to enlist the assistance of other professional personnel such as victim advocates or prosecutorial staff trained in the interviewing of the dependent person.

        (j) With respect to a dependent person who is a victim of a violent or sex crime, to receive either directly or through the dependent person's legal guardian, if applicable, at the time of reporting the crime to law enforcement officials, a written statement of the rights of dependent persons as provided in this chapter. The statement may be paraphrased to make it more easily understood. The written statement shall include the name, address, and telephone number of a county or local crime victim/witness program, if such a crime victim/witness program exists in the county.

        (2) Any party may request a preliminary hearing for the purpose of establishing accommodations for the dependent person consistent with, but not limited to, the rights enumerated in this section.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. (1) The prosecutor or defense may file a motion with the court at any time prior to commencement of the trial for an order authorizing the taking of a video tape deposition for the purpose of preserving the direct testimony of the moving party's witness if that witness is a dependent person.

        (2) The court may grant the motion if the moving party shows that it is likely that the dependent person will be unavailable to testify at a subsequent trial. The court's finding shall be based upon, at a minimum, recommendations from the dependent person's physician or any other person having direct contact with the dependent person and whose recommendations are based on specific behavioral indicators exhibited by the dependent person.

        (3) The moving party shall provide reasonable written notice to the other party of the motion and order, if granted, pursuant to superior court criminal rules for depositions.

        (4) Both parties shall have an opportunity to be present at the deposition and the nonmoving party shall have the opportunity to cross-examine the dependent person.

        (5) Under circumstances permitted by the rules of evidence, the deposition may be introduced as evidence in a subsequent proceeding if the dependent person is unavailable at trial and both the prosecutor and the defendant had notice of and an opportunity to participate in the taking of the deposition.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. (1) On motion of the prosecuting attorney in a criminal proceeding, the court may order that a dependent person may testify in a room outside the presence of the defendant or the jury, or both, while one-way closed circuit television equipment simultaneously projects the dependent person's testimony into another room so the defendant or the jury, or both, can watch and hear the dependent person testify if:

        (a) The testimony is taken during the court proceeding;

        (b) The court finds by substantial evidence, in a hearing conducted outside the presence of the jury, that requiring the dependent person to testify in the presence of the defendant or the jury, or both, will cause the dependent person to suffer serious emotional or mental distress that will prevent the dependent person from reasonably communicating at the trial or that the dependent person will suffer emotional or mental distress from testifying in the presence of the defendant or the jury, or both. If the defendant is excluded from the presence of the dependent person, the jury must also be excluded. If the dependent person is able to testify in the presence of the defendant but not the jury, the jury shall be excluded from the room and the defendant shall remain in the room with the dependent person;

        (c) The court finds that the prosecutor has made all reasonable efforts to prepare the dependent person for testifying, including informing the dependent person about community counseling services, giving court tours, and explaining the trial process. If the prosecutor fails to demonstrate that preparations were implemented or the prosecutor in good faith attempted to implement them, the court shall deny the motion;

        (d) The court balances the strength of the state's case without the testimony of the dependent person against the defendant's constitutional rights and the degree of infringement of the closed-circuit television procedure on those rights;

        (e) The court finds that no less restrictive method of obtaining the testimony exists that can adequately protect the dependent person from the serious emotional or mental distress;

        (f) When the court allows the dependent person to testify outside the presence of the defendant, the defendant can communicate constantly with the defense attorney by electronic transmission and be granted reasonable court recesses during the dependent person's testimony for person-to-person consultation with the defense attorney;

        (g) The court can communicate with the attorneys by an audio system so that the court can rule on objections and otherwise control the proceedings;

        (h) All parties in the room with the dependent person are on camera and can be viewed by all other parties. If viewing all participants is not possible, the court shall describe for the viewers the location of the prosecutor, defense attorney, and other participants in relation to the dependent person;

        (i) The court finds that the television equipment is capable of making an accurate reproduction and the operator of the equipment is competent to operate the equipment; and

        (j) The court imposes reasonable guidelines upon the parties for conducting the filming to avoid trauma to the dependent person or abuse of the procedure for tactical advantage.

        (2) The prosecutor, defense attorney, and a neutral and trained victim's advocate, if any, shall always be in the room where the dependent person is testifying.

        (3) During the hearing conducted under subsection (1) of this section to determine whether the dependent person may testify outside the presence of the defendant or the jury, or both, the court may conduct the observation and examination of the dependent person outside the presence of the defendant if:

        (a) The prosecutor alleges and the court concurs that the dependent person will be unable to testify in front of the defendant or will suffer severe emotional or mental distress if forced to testify in front of the defendant;


        (b) The defendant can observe and hear the dependent person by closed-circuit television;

        (c) The defendant can communicate constantly with the defense attorney during the examination of the dependent person by electronic transmission and be granted reasonable court recesses during the dependent person's examination for person-to-person consultation with the defense attorney; and

        (d) The court finds the closed-circuit television is capable of making an accurate reproduction and the operator of the equipment is competent to operate the equipment. Whenever possible, all the parties in the room with the dependent person shall be on camera so that the viewers can see all the parties. If viewing all participants is not possible, then the court shall describe for the viewers the location of the prosecutor, defense attorney, and other participants in relation to the dependent person.

        (4) The court shall make particularized findings on the record articulating the factors upon which the court based its decision to allow the dependent person to testify via closed-circuit television pursuant to this section. The factors the court may consider include, but are not limited to, a consideration of the dependent person's age, physical health, emotional stability, expressions of fear made by the dependent person regarding testifying in open court or in front of the defendant, the relationship of the defendant to the dependent person, and the court's observations of the dependent person's inability to reasonably communicate in front of the defendant or in open court. The court's findings shall identify the impact the factors have upon the dependent person's ability to testify in front of the jury or the defendant, or both, and the specific nature of the emotional or mental trauma the dependent person would suffer. The court shall determine whether the source of the trauma is the presence of the defendant, the jury, or both, and shall limit the use of the closed-circuit television accordingly.

        (5) This section does not apply if the defendant is an attorney pro se unless the defendant has a court-appointed attorney assisting the defendant in the defense.

        (6) This section may not preclude the presence of both the victim and the defendant in the courtroom together for purposes of establishing or challenging the identification of the defendant when identification is a legitimate issue in the proceeding.

        (7) All recorded tapes of testimony produced by closed-circuit television equipment shall be subject to any protective order of the court for the purpose of protecting the privacy of the dependent person.

        (8) Nothing in this section creates a right of the dependent person to a closed-circuit television procedure in lieu of testifying in open court.

        (a) Charges made for labor and services rendered by any person in respect to the building of any street, place, road, highway, easement, right of way, bridge, tunnel, or trestle which is owned by the state or by the United States and which is used or to be used primarily for foot or vehicular traffic; or

        (b) Sales of tangible personal property that becomes an ingredient or component of the street, place, road, highway, easement, right of way, bridge, tunnel, or trestle which is owned by the state or by the United States and which is used or to be used primarily for foot or vehicular traffic during the course of the building of such street, place, road, highway, easement, right of way, bridge, tunnel, or trestle.

        (2) The exemption provided by this section does not apply:

        (a) To any project for which a sales and use tax deferral certificate has been issued by the department under RCW 47.46.060; and

        (b) Unless at least eighty percent of the cost of the project will be recovered through tolls or other direct user fees.

        (3) The buyer must provide the seller with an exemption certificate in a form and manner prescribed by the department. The seller shall retain a copy of the certificate for the seller's files.

        (4) For the purposes of this section, "direct user fee" means a fee charged for the specific use of the facility.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 82.12 RCW to read as follows:

        (1) The provisions of this chapter do not apply with respect to the use of tangible personal property that becomes an ingredient or component of any street, place, road, highway, easement, right of way, bridge, tunnel, or trestle which is owned by the state or by the United States and which is used or to be used primarily for foot or vehicular traffic during the course of building.

        (2) The eligibility requirements, conditions, and definitions in section 1 of this act apply to this section.


        Sec. 3. RCW 47.46.060 and 2002 c 114 s 18 are each amended to read as follows:

        (1) Any person, including the department of transportation and any private entity or entities, may apply for deferral of taxes on the site preparation for, the construction of, the acquisition of any related machinery and equipment which will become a part of, and the rental of equipment for use in the state route number 16 corridor improvements project under this chapter. Application shall be made to the department of revenue in a form and manner prescribed by the department of revenue.

The department of revenue shall approve the application within sixty days if it meets the requirements of this section.

        (2) The department of revenue shall issue a sales and use tax deferral certificate for state and local sales and use taxes due under chapters 82.08, 82.12, and 82.14 RCW on the project.

        (3) The department of transportation or a private entity granted a tax deferral under this section shall begin paying the deferred taxes in the fifth year after the date certified by the department of revenue as the date on which the project is operationally complete. The first payment is due on December 31st of the fifth calendar year after such certified date, with subsequent annual payments due on December 31st of the following nine years. Each payment shall equal ten percent of the deferred tax. The project is operationally complete under this section when the collection of tolls is commenced for the state route number 16 improvements covered by the deferral.

        (4) The department of revenue may authorize an accelerated repayment schedule upon request of the department of transportation or a private entity granted a deferral under this section.

        (5) Interest shall not be charged on any taxes deferred under this section for the period of deferral, although all other penalties and interest applicable to delinquent excise taxes may be assessed and imposed for delinquent payments under this section. The debt for deferred taxes is not extinguished by insolvency or other failure of the private entity. Transfer of ownership does not terminate the deferral.

        (6) Applications and any other information received by the department of revenue under this section are not confidential and are subject to disclosure. Chapter 82.32 RCW applies to the administration of this section.

        (7) Taxes due under chapters 82.08 and 82.12 RCW on the site preparation for, the construction of, the acquisition of any related machinery and equipment that will become a part of, and the rental of equipment for use in the state route number 16 corridor improvements for which a deferral has been granted need not be repaid."

        Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:


        "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 48.43 RCW to read as follows:

        (1) A carrier may not retroactively deny, adjust, or seek recoupment or refund of an adjudicated claim submitted by a health care provider for any reason, other than fraud or coordination of benefits or as set forth in subsection (5) of this section, after the expiration of two years from the date the initial claim was paid. If a carrier retroactively denies, adjusts, or seeks recoupment or refund of an adjudicated claim, the health care provider has an additional period of six months from the date the notice required by subsection (6) of this section was received within which to file either a revised claim or a request for reconsideration supported by additional medical records or information. If both the carrier and provider agree, adjudicated claims may be adjusted after the expiration of two years from the date the claim was paid.

        (2) A health care provider may not retroactively seek adjustment of an adjudicated claim by a carrier for any reason, other than fraud or coordination of benefits, after the expiration of two years from the date the initial claim was paid. If a provider retroactively seeks an adjustment of an adjudicated claim, the carrier has an additional period of six months from the date the notice required by subsection (6) of this section was received within which to file a response. If both the carrier and provider agree, adjudicated claims may be adjusted after the expiration of two years from the date the claim was paid.

        (3) A carrier may not retroactively deny, adjust, or seek recoupment or refund of an adjudicated claim submitted by a health care provider for reasons related to coordination of benefits with another carrier or other entity responsible for payment of the claim after the expiration of thirty months from the date the original claim was paid by the primary or secondary payer, regardless who is seeking the adjustment or recoupment. A carrier may not unreasonably delay initial payment of a claim to a health care provider because of carrier efforts to coordinate benefits nor may a carrier require the provider to assume responsibility for coordination of benefits except to provide the carrier information. If the carrier retroactively denies, adjusts, or seeks recoupment or refund of an adjudicated claim based on coordination of benefits, the carrier must provide the health care provider with notice specifying the reason for the denial, adjustment, recoupment, or refund, and provide the name and address of the entity that has acknowledged responsibility for payment of the adjudicated claim. The health care provider has an additional six months from the date the health care provider received the notice specified in this subsection to submit a claim for reimbursement for the health care service to the carrier, medical assistance program, government health benefit program, or any other entity responsible for payment of services provided. If both the carrier and provider agree, adjudicated claims may be adjusted after the expiration of eighteen months from the date the claim was paid.

        (4) A health care provider may not retroactively seek adjustment of a claim payment by a carrier for reasons related to coordination of benefits with another carrier or other entity responsible for payment of the claim after the expiration of thirty months from the date the original claim was paid. If a provider retroactively seeks adjustment of an adjudicated claim based on coordination of benefits, the health care provider must provide the carrier with notice specifying the reason for the adjustment, and provide the name and address of the entity that has failed to acknowledge responsibility for payment of the claim. The carrier has an additional six months from the date the carrier receives the notice specified in this subsection to respond. If both the carrier and provider agree, adjudicated claims may be adjusted after the expiration of eighteen months from the date the claim was paid.

        (5) To prevent duplicate recovery for the same health service, a carrier may seek recoupment, adjustment, or refund of an adjudicated claim paid to a health care provider after the expiration of one year from the date the initial claim was paid if: (a) The carrier is seeking recovery of a claim payment owed by a third party, including government entities, as a consequence of liability imposed by law, such as that arising from tort liability; and (b) the carrier is unable to seek recovery directly from the third party because the third party either has paid or will pay the provider for the same health service as the initial claim.

        (6) A carrier or health care provider that retroactively denies, adjusts, or seeks recoupment, adjustment, or refund of an adjudicated claim must give the other party written notice specifying the reason for the action taken. Any actions that are based upon medical necessity determinations, level of service determinations, coding errors, or billing irregularities must be reconciled by the carrier or the provider to the specific claims in question.

        (7) A health care provider or a carrier has thirty days after receipt of the notice under subsection (6) of this section in which to notify the other party that they are disputing or contesting the action. When a provider or a carrier fails to respond in writing in thirty days to a written notice of recoupment or adjustment, the carrier or provider may consider the recoupment or adjustment accepted. If the health care provider or a carrier disputes or contests the action, then any disputed or contested claim payment is not subject to recoupment, refunds, or adjustment by the other party until all the appeals procedures, hearings, or other remedies available to the health care provider and the carrier have been finally decided. If the decision is favorable to the carrier, any disputed payment may be offset in a future claim payment for that provider.

        (8) The requirements of this section may not be waived by contract or otherwise by the health care provider or carrier. This section neither permits nor precludes a carrier from recovering from a subscriber, enrollee, or beneficiary any amounts paid to a health care provider for benefits to which the subscriber, enrollee, or beneficiary was not entitled under the terms and conditions of the health plan, insurance policy, or other benefit agreement.

        (9) This section does not apply to carrier or provider payment or recoupment practices with respect to claims or payments for health care services provided through dental-only health carriers, health care services provided under Title XVIII (medicare) of the social security act, or medicare supplemental plans regulated under chapter 48.66 RCW.
