HOUSE BILL NO. 1116, by Representatives Miloscia, Pettigrew, Morrell, Ormsby, Green, B. Sullivan, Moeller, Dunn, Santos and Simpson
Creating a plan to increase the homeownership rate to seventy-five percent by 2020.
The bill was read the second time.
With the consent of the House, amendments (010), (011) and (012) were withdrawn.
Representative Armstrong moved the adoption of amendment (007):
On page 1, line 9, after "state." insert "The plan must address, among other issues, how (a) reducing impact fees, (b) allowing single-family residential development outside urban growth areas, and (c) eliminating the state sales tax on construction labor and services in counties where housing is not affordable, may contribute to an increase in the state homeownership rate."
Representative Springer requested a scope and object ruling on the amendment (007) to House Bill No. 1116.
Mr. Speaker (Representative Lovick presiding): House Bill No. 1116 is titled an act relating to creating a plan to increase the homeownership rate to seventy-five percent by 2020.
The bill contains only one section, directing the Housing Finance Commission to work with designated stakeholders to create a strategic plan to increase the homeownership rate to seventy-five percent by 2020. The only specification for the content of the plan is that it address increasing homeownership on a fair basis for all geographic regions of the state. The plan is to be presented to the Legislature by December 31, 2007.
Amendment (007) requires the plan to evaluate whether making changes to impact fees, the growth management act, and the imposition of the sales tax on home construction, would contribute to an increase in the state homeownership act.
The amendment is clearly within the scope of the title as it relates to development of a plan to increase the homeownership rate. The amendment's requirement that specific issues be considered in developing the plan supplements the directives in the underlying bill but does not expand the bill's purpose of requiring development of the plan.
The Speaker therefore finds that the amendment is within the scope and object of the underlying bill, and that the point of order is not well taken."
Representative Armstrong spoke in favor of the adoption of the amendment.
Representative Miloscia spoke against the adoption of the amendment.
The amendment was not adopted.
Representative Schindler moved the adoption of amendment (008):
On page 1, after line 16, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 82.02 RCW to read as follows:
(1) As used in this chapter, "first-time buyer housing affordability index" means the index determined by the Washington center for real estate research that measures the ability of a typical renter household to afford the purchase of a typical starter home by assuming: (a) The household will purchase a home priced at eighty-five percent of area median with a ten-percent down payment; (b) the home mortgage loan is for a term of thirty years at the prevailing average fixed rate of interest; (c) the potential first-time home buyer earns seventy percent of the area median household income and twenty-five percent of household income can be used for principal and interest payments.
(2) For purposes of this chapter, a first-time buyer housing affordability index of: (a) One hundred, indicates that a household of the defined income can afford a home of the defined price; (b) less than one hundred, indicates that a household of the defined income cannot afford a home of the defined price without spending more than twenty-five percent of their income on mortgage payments; and (c) greater than one hundred, indicates that a household of the defined income can afford a home of the defined price while spending less than twenty-five percent of their income on mortgage payments.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 82.02 RCW to read as follows:
(1) In any county in which the first-time buyer housing affordability index, as defined in section 1 of this act and as determined by the Washington center for real estate research at Washington State University, is less than one hundred for three quarters in any given year, the county and cities located within the county may not collect impact fees under this chapter for the following two years.
(2) The one-year period measured by the Washington center for real estate research under subsection (1) of this section shall begin and end in the third quarter of the calendar year. The time period for which the ability to collect impact fees under this chapter is suspended under subsection (1) of this section begins January 1st of the year following the determination by the Washington center for real estate research.
Sec. 4. RCW 82.02.100 and 1992 c 219 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) A person required to pay a fee pursuant to RCW 43.21C.060 for system improvements shall not be required to pay an impact fee under RCW 82.02.050 through 82.02.090 for those same system improvements.
(2) A county prohibited from imposing a fee for system improvements under section 2 of this act may not impose a fee under RCW 43.21C.065 for those same system improvements.
(3) A county prohibited from imposing a fee for system improvements under section 2 of this act may not require a dedication of land under RCW 58.17.110 for those same system improvements."
Correct the title.
Representative Springer requested a scope and object ruling on the amendment (008) to House Bill No. 1116.
Mr. Speaker (Representative Lovick presiding): "As previously noted, the underlying bill is narrowly drafted to accomplish one specific goal – the development of a strategic plan to increase homeownership rates.
Amendment (008) defines a "first-time buyer housing affordability index" and prohibits the imposition of impact fees upon a determination that benchmarks in the index have not been met. These changes to substantive law exceed the bill's purpose in requiring development of a plan.
The Speaker therefore finds that the amendment is beyond the socpe and object of the underlying bill, and that the point of order is well taken."
Representative Dunn adoption of amendment (015):
On page 1, after line 4, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 36.70A RCW to read as follows:
(1) As used in this section and section 2 of this act, "first-time buyer housing affordability index" means the index determined by the Washington center for real estate research that measures the ability of a typical renter household to afford the purchase of a typical starter home by assuming: (a) The household will purchase a home priced at eighty-five percent of area median household income with a ten-percent down payment; (b) the home mortgage loan is for a term of thirty years at the prevailing average fixed rate of interest; and (c) the potential first-time home buyer earns seventy percent of the area median household income and twenty-five percent of household income can be used for principal and interest payments.
(2) A first-time buyer housing affordability index of: (a) One hundred, indicates that a household of the defined income can afford a home of the defined price; (b) less than one hundred, indicates that a household of the defined income cannot afford a home of the defined price without spending more than twenty-five percent of their income on mortgage payments; and (c) greater than one hundred, indicates that a household of the defined income can afford a home of the defined price while spending less than twenty-five percent of their income on mortgage payments.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 36.70A RCW to read as follows:
(1)(a) In any county planning under RCW 36.70A.040 in which the first-time buyer housing affordability index, as defined in section 1 of this act, and as determined by the Washington center for real estate research at Washington State University, is less than one hundred for three quarters in any year, the county may permit single-family detached residential development of any density outside the urban growth area designated according to RCW 36.70A.110 for the following two years. Single-family detached residential development authorized under this section is not considered urban growth located outside of an urban growth area. Services provided to a single-family detached residential development authorized under this section is not considered urban services located outside of an urban growth area.
(b) Any county planning under RCW 36.70A.040 and permitting single-family detached residential development under (a) of this subsection may:
(i) Change its comprehensive plan and development regulations after the determination in (a) of this subsection has been made by the Washington center for real estate research to provide new locations for or increased density of single-family detached residential development under (a) of this subsection; or
(ii) Incorporate sections in its comprehensive plan and enact development regulations that provide new locations for or increased density of single-family detached residential development that are contingent upon a determination under (a) of this subsection that the first-time buyer housing affordability index was less than one hundred for three quarters in any year. If the county chooses to enact sections of its comprehensive plan as well as development regulations, the county may provide that these sections and regulations take effect January 1st of any year following the determination by the Washington center for real estate research under (a) of this subsection.
(2) The one-year period measured by the Washington center for real estate research under subsection (1) of this section begins and ends in the third quarter of the calendar year. The time period for which the ability to permit single-family detached residential development under subsection (1) of this section begins January 1st of the year following the determination by the Washington center for real estate research under (a) of this subsection."
Renumber the remaining section consecutively, correct any internal references accordingly, and correct the title.
