MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE
March 12, 2008
Mr. Speaker:
The Senate receded from its amendment to ENGROSSED SECOND SUBSTITUTE HOUSE BILL NO. 3145. Under suspension of the rules, the bill was returned to second reading for purpose of amendment. The Senate adopted the following amendment and passed the bill as amended by the Senate:
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 74.13 RCW to read as follows:
The legislature finds that out-of-home care providers are an essential partner in the child welfare system, with responsibility for the care of vulnerable children whose families are unable to meet their needs. Because children who enter the out-of-home care system have experienced varying degrees of stress and trauma before placement, providers sometimes are called upon to provide care for children with significant behavioral challenges and intensive developmental needs. Other children who enter out-of-home care may require extraordinary care due to health care needs or medical fragility. The legislature also finds that providers with specialized skills and experience, or professional training and expertise, can contribute significantly to a child's well-being by promoting placement stability and supporting the child's developmental growth while in out-of-home care. The legislature intends to implement an intensive resource home pilot to enhance the continuum of care options and to promote permanency and positive outcomes for children served in the child welfare system by authorizing the department to contract for intensive resource home services on a pilot basis.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 74.13 RCW to read as follows:
(1) The department shall select two geographic areas with high concentrations of children with significant needs in out-of-home care for implementing an intensive resource home pilot. In choosing the pilot sites, the department shall: (a) Examine areas where there are concentrations of children with significant behavioral challenges and intensive developmental or medical needs who are being served in family foster homes; (b) consider sites of appropriate size that will allow for careful analysis of the impact of the intensive resource home pilot on the array of out-of-home care providers, including providers of behavioral rehabilitation services; and (c) determine the number of children to be served in these selected sites. Implementation of the program at the pilot sites also shall be structured to support the long-term goal of eventual expansion of the pilot statewide.
(2) Based on the information gathered by the work group convened under chapter 413, Laws of 2007, and the additional information gathered pursuant to this section, the department shall work collaboratively in:
(a) Seeking recommendations from foster parents and other out-of-home service providers, including child placing agencies, regarding the qualifications and requirements of intensive resource home providers, the needs of the children to be served, and the desired outcomes to be measured or monitored at the respective pilot sites; and
(b) Consulting with experts in child welfare, children's mental health, and children's health care to identify the evidence-based or promising practice models to be employed in the pilot and the appropriate supports to ensure program fidelity, including, but not limited to, the necessary training and clinical consultation and oversight to be provided to intensive resource homes.
(3) Using the recommendations from foster parents, the consultations with professionals as required in subsection (2)(a) and (b) of this section, and the information provided in the report to the legislature under chapter 413, Laws of 2007, including the information presented to the work group convened to prepare and present the report, the department shall implement the pilot by entering into contracts with no more than seventy-five providers who are determined by the department to meet the eligibility criteria for the intensive resource home pilot. The department shall:
(a) Define the criteria for intensive resource home providers, which shall include a requirement that the provider be licensed by the department as a foster parent, as well as meet additional requirements relating to relevant experience, education, training, and professional expertise necessary to meet the high needs of children identified as eligible for this pilot;
(b) Define criteria for identifying children with high needs who may be eligible for placement with an intensive resource home provider. Such criteria shall be based on the best interests of the child and include an assessment of the child's past and current level of functioning as well as a determination that the child's treatment plan and developmental needs are consistent with the placement plan;
(c) Establish a policy for placement of children with high needs in intensive resource homes, including a process for matching the child's needs with the provider's skills and expertise;
(d) Establish a limit on the number and ages of children with high needs that may be placed in an intensive resource home pursuant to the pilot contract. Such limitation shall recognize that children with externalizing behaviors are most likely to experience long-term improvements in their behavior when care is provided in settings that minimize exposure to peers with challenging behaviors;
(e) Identify one or more approved models of skill building for use by intensive resource home providers, with the assistance of other child welfare experts;
(f) Specify the training and consultation requirements that support the models of service;
(g) Establish a system of supports, including clinical consultation and oversight for intensive resource homes;
(h) Develop a tiered payment system, by September 30, 2008, which may include a stipend to the provider, which takes into account the additional responsibilities intensive resource home providers have with regard to the children placed in their care. Until such time as the department has developed the tiered payment system, money for exceptional cost plans shall be used only for special services or supplies provided to the child and shall not be used to reimburse the provider for services he or she provides to the child. A stipend of not more than five hundred dollars per month may be used to reimburse the provider for services he or she provides directly to the child;
(i) Establish clearly defined responsibilities of intensive resource home providers, who have an intensive resource home contract including responsibilities to promote permanency and connections with birth parents; and
(j) Develop a process for annual performance reviews of intensive resource home providers.
(4) Contracts between the department and an intensive resource home provider shall include a statement of work focusing on achieving stability in placement and measuring improved permanency outcomes and shall specify at least the following elements:
(a) The model of treatment and care to be provided;
(b) The training and ongoing professional consultation to be provided;
(c) The method for determining any additional supports to be provided to an eligible child or the intensive resource home provider;
(d) The desired outcomes to be measured;
(e) A reasonable and efficient process for seeking a modification of the contract;
(f) The rate and terms of payment under the contract; and
(g) The term of the contract and the processes for an annual performance review of the intensive resource home provider and an annual assessment of the child.
(5) Beginning on or before October 1, 2008, the department shall begin the selection of, and negotiation of contracts with, intensive resource home providers in the selected pilot sites.
(6) Nothing in this act gives a provider eligible under this section the right to a contract under the intensive resource home pilot, and nothing in this act gives a provider that has a contract under the pilot a right to have a child or children placed in the home pursuant to the contract.
(7) "Intensive resource home provider" means a provider who meets the eligibility criteria developed by the department under this section and who has an intensive resource home pilot contract with the department.
(8) The department shall report to the governor and the legislature by January 30, 2009, on the implementation of the pilot, including how the pilot fits within the continuum of out-of-home care options. Based on the experiences and lessons learned from implementation of the pilot, the department shall recommend a process and timeline for expanding the pilot and implementing it statewide. The department shall report to the governor and the appropriate members of the legislature by September 1, 2009, on the expansion, and shall identify the essential elements of the intensive resource home pilot that should be addressed or replicated if the pilot is expanded.
(9) The department shall operate this pilot using only funds appropriated specifically for the operation of this pilot. The term "specifically for the operation of this pilot" includes only those costs associated with the following: The administration of the pilot, the stipend to eligible intensive resource home providers, training for the providers, consultation for the providers, and program review consultation.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. If any part of this act is found to be in conflict with federal requirements that are a prescribed condition of federal funds which support the operations and services provided by the department of social and health services, the conflicting part of this act is inoperative solely to the extent of the conflict and with respect to the agencies directly affected, and this finding does not affect the operation of the remainder of this act in its application to the agencies concerned. Rules adopted under this act must meet federal requirements that are a necessary condition to the receipt of federal funds by the state.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. Of the amounts appropriated in the omnibus appropriations act of 2008 for implementation of this act, referencing this act by bill or chapter number, the department shall allocate two hundred thousand dollars to contract with an agency which is working in partnership with, and has been evaluated by, the University of Washington school of social work to implement promising practice constellation hub models of foster care support in areas of the state not currently served by this model, unless otherwise specified in the omnibus appropriations act of 2008."
On page 1, line 2 of the title, after "licensing;" strike the remainder of the title and insert "adding new sections to chapter 74.13 RCW; and creating new sections."
and the same is herewith transmitted.

REPORT OF CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
March 11, 2008
Mr. Speaker:
We of your Conference Committee, to whom was referred ENGROSSED SECOND SUBSTITUTE HOUSE BILL NO. 3139, providing for stays of industrial insurance orders on appeal, have had the same under consideration and we recommend that:
All previous amendments not be adopted and that the attached striking amendment (S-6138.3/08) be adopted
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 51.52.050 and 2004 c 243 s 8 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Whenever the department has made any order, decision, or award, it shall promptly serve the worker, beneficiary, employer, or other person affected thereby, with a copy thereof by mail, which shall be addressed to such person at his or her last known address as shown by the records of the department. The copy, in case the same is a final order, decision, or award, shall bear on the same side of the same page on which is found the amount of the award, a statement, set in black faced type of at least ten point body or size, that such final order, decision, or award shall become final within sixty days from the date the order is communicated to the parties unless a written request for reconsideration is filed with the department of labor and industries, Olympia, or an appeal is filed with the board of industrial insurance appeals, Olympia((: PROVIDED, That)). However, a department order or decision making demand, whether with or without penalty, for repayment of sums paid to a provider of medical, dental, vocational, or other health services rendered to an industrially injured worker, shall state that such order or decision shall become final within twenty days from the date the order or decision is communicated to the parties unless a written request for reconsideration is filed with the department of labor and industries, Olympia, or an appeal is filed with the board of industrial insurance appeals, Olympia.
(2)(a) Whenever the department has taken any action or made any decision relating to any phase of the administration of this title the worker, beneficiary, employer, or other person aggrieved thereby may request reconsideration of the department, or may appeal to the board. In an appeal before the board, the appellant shall have the burden of proceeding with the evidence to establish a prima facie case for the relief sought in such appeal((: PROVIDED, That)).
(b) An order by the department awarding benefits shall become effective and benefits due on the date issued. Subject to (b)(i) and (ii) of this subsection, if the department order is appealed the order shall not be stayed pending a final decision on the merits unless ordered by the board. Upon issuance of the order granting the appeal, the board will provide the worker with notice concerning the potential of an overpayment of benefits paid pending the outcome of the appeal and the requirements for interest on unpaid benefits pursuant to RCW 51.52.135. A worker may request that benefits cease pending appeal at any time following the employer's motion for stay or the board's order granting appeal. The request must be submitted in writing to the employer, the board, and the department. Any employer may move for a stay of the order on appeal, in whole or in part. The motion must be filed within fifteen days of the order granting appeal. The board shall conduct an expedited review of the claim file provided by the department as it existed on the date of the department order. The board shall issue a final decision within twenty-five days of the filing of the motion for stay or the order granting appeal, whichever is later. The board's final decision may be appealed to superior court in accordance with RCW 51.52.110. The board shall grant a motion to stay if the moving party demonstrates that it is more likely than not to prevail on the facts as they existed at the time of the order on appeal. The board shall not consider the likelihood of recoupment of benefits as a basis to grant or deny a motion to stay. If a self-insured employer prevails on the merits, any benefits paid may be recouped pursuant to RCW 51.32.240.
(i) If upon reconsideration requested by a worker or medical provider, the department has ordered an increase in a permanent partial disability award from the amount reflected in an earlier order, the award reflected in the earlier order shall not be stayed pending a final decision on the merits. However, the increase is stayed without further action by the board pending a final decision on the merits.
(ii) If any party appeals an order establishing a worker's wages or the compensation rate at which a worker will be paid temporary or permanent total disability or loss of earning power benefits, the worker shall receive payment pending a final decision on the merits based on the following:
(A) When the employer is self-insured, the wage calculation or compensation rate the employer most recently submitted to the department; or
(B) When the employer is insured through the state fund, the highest wage amount or compensation rate uncontested by the parties.
Payment of benefits or consideration of wages at a rate that is higher than that specified in (b)(ii)(A) or (B) of this subsection is stayed without further action by the board pending a final decision on the merits.
(c) In an appeal from an order of the department that alleges willful misrepresentation, the department or self-insured employer shall initially introduce all evidence in its case in chief. Any such person aggrieved by the decision and order of the board may thereafter appeal to the superior court, as prescribed in this chapter.
Sec. 2. RCW 51.32.240 and 2004 c 243 s 7 are each amended to read as follows:
(1)(a) Whenever any payment of benefits under this title is made because of clerical error, mistake of identity, innocent misrepresentation by or on behalf of the recipient thereof mistakenly acted upon, or any other circumstance of a similar nature, all not induced by willful misrepresentation, the recipient thereof shall repay it and recoupment may be made from any future payments due to the recipient on any claim with the state fund or self-insurer, as the case may be. The department or self-insurer, as the case may be, must make claim for such repayment or recoupment within one year of the making of any such payment or it will be deemed any claim therefor has been waived.
(b) Except as provided in subsections (3), (4), and (5) of this section, the department may only assess an overpayment of benefits because of adjudicator error when the order upon which the overpayment is based is not yet final as provided in RCW 51.52.050 and 51.52.060. "Adjudicator error" includes the failure to consider information in the claim file, failure to secure adequate information, or an error in judgment.
(c) The director, pursuant to rules adopted in accordance with the procedures provided in the administrative procedure act, chapter 34.05 RCW, may exercise his or her discretion to waive, in whole or in part, the amount of any such timely claim where the recovery would be against equity and good conscience.
(2) Whenever the department or self-insurer fails to pay benefits because of clerical error, mistake of identity, or innocent misrepresentation, all not induced by recipient willful misrepresentation, the recipient may request an adjustment of benefits to be paid from the state fund or by the self-insurer, as the case may be, subject to the following:
(a) The recipient must request an adjustment in benefits within one year from the date of the incorrect payment or it will be deemed any claim therefore has been waived.
(b) The recipient may not seek an adjustment of benefits because of adjudicator error. Adjustments due to adjudicator error are addressed by the filing of a written request for reconsideration with the department of labor and industries or an appeal with the board of industrial insurance appeals within sixty days from the date the order is communicated as provided in RCW 51.52.050. "Adjudicator error" includes the failure to consider information in the claim file, failure to secure adequate information, or an error in judgment.
(3) Whenever the department issues an order rejecting a claim for benefits paid pursuant to RCW 51.32.190 or 51.32.210, after payment for temporary disability benefits has been paid by a self-insurer pursuant to RCW 51.32.190(3) or by the department pursuant to RCW 51.32.210, the recipient thereof shall repay such benefits and recoupment may be made from any future payments due to the recipient on any claim with the state fund or self-insurer, as the case may be. The director, under rules adopted in accordance with the procedures provided in the administrative procedure act, chapter 34.05 RCW, may exercise discretion to waive, in whole or in part, the amount of any such payments where the recovery would be against equity and good conscience.
(4) Whenever any payment of benefits under this title has been made pursuant to an adjudication by the department or by order of the board or any court and timely appeal therefrom has been made where the final decision is that any such payment was made pursuant to an erroneous adjudication, the recipient thereof shall repay it and recoupment may be made from any future payments due to the recipient on any claim ((with the state fund or self-insurer, as the case may be)) whether state fund or self-insured.
(a) The director, pursuant to rules adopted in accordance with the procedures provided in the administrative procedure act, chapter 34.05 RCW, may exercise ((his)) discretion to waive, in whole or in part, the amount of any such payments where the recovery would be against equity and good conscience. However, if the director waives in whole or in part any such payments due a self-insurer, the self-insurer shall be reimbursed the amount waived from the self-insured employer overpayment reimbursement fund.
(b) The department shall collect information regarding self-insured claim overpayments resulting from final decisions of the board and the courts, and recoup such overpayments on behalf of the self-insurer from any open, new, or reopened state fund or self-insured claims. The department shall forward the amounts collected to the self-insurer to whom the payment is owed. The department may provide information as needed to any self-insurers from whom payments may be collected on behalf of the department or another self-insurer. Notwithstanding RCW 51.32.040, any self-insurer requested by the department to forward payments to the department pursuant to this subsection shall pay the department directly. The department shall credit the amounts recovered to the appropriate fund, or forward amounts collected to the appropriate self-insurer, as the case may be.
(c) If a self-insurer is not fully reimbursed within twenty-four months of the first attempt at recovery through the collection process pursuant to this subsection and by means of processes pursuant to subsection (6) of this section, the self-insurer shall be reimbursed for the remainder of the amount due from the self-insured employer overpayment reimbursement fund.
(d) For purposes of this subsection, "recipient" does not include health service providers whose treatment or services were authorized by the department or self-insurer.
(e) The department or self-insurer shall first attempt recovery of overpayments for health services from any entity that provided health insurance to the worker to the extent that the health insurance entity would have provided health insurance benefits but for workers' compensation coverage.
(5)(a) Whenever any payment of benefits under this title has been induced by willful misrepresentation the recipient thereof shall repay any such payment together with a penalty of fifty percent of the total of any such payments and the amount of such total sum may be recouped from any future payments due to the recipient on any claim with the state fund or self-insurer against whom the willful misrepresentation was committed, as the case may be, and the amount of such penalty shall be placed in the supplemental pension fund. Such repayment or recoupment must be demanded or ordered within three years of the discovery of the willful misrepresentation.
(b) For purposes of this subsection (5), it is willful misrepresentation for a person to obtain payments or other benefits under this title in an amount greater than that to which the person otherwise would be entitled. Willful misrepresentation includes:
(i) Willful false statement; or
(ii) Willful misrepresentation, omission, or concealment of any material fact.
(c) For purposes of this subsection (5), "willful" means a conscious or deliberate false statement, misrepresentation, omission, or concealment of a material fact with the specific intent of obtaining, continuing, or increasing benefits under this title.
(d) For purposes of this subsection (5), failure to disclose a work-type activity must be willful in order for a misrepresentation to have occurred.
(e) For purposes of this subsection (5), a material fact is one which would result in additional, increased, or continued benefits, including but not limited to facts about physical restrictions, or work-type activities which either result in wages or income or would be reasonably expected to do so. Wages or income include the receipt of any goods or services. For a work-type activity to be reasonably expected to result in wages or income, a pattern of repeated activity must exist. For those activities that would reasonably be expected to result in wages or produce income, but for which actual wage or income information cannot be reasonably determined, the department shall impute wages pursuant to RCW 51.08.178(4).
(6) The worker, beneficiary, or other person affected thereby shall have the right to contest an order assessing an overpayment pursuant to this section in the same manner and to the same extent as provided under RCW 51.52.050 and 51.52.060. In the event such an order becomes final under chapter 51.52 RCW and notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (1) through (5) of this section, the director, director's designee, or self-insurer may file with the clerk in any county within the state a warrant in the amount of the sum representing the unpaid overpayment and/or penalty plus interest accruing from the date the order became final. The clerk of the county in which the warrant is filed shall immediately designate a superior court cause number for such warrant and the clerk shall cause to be entered in the judgment docket under the superior court cause number assigned to the warrant, the name of the worker, beneficiary, or other person mentioned in the warrant, the amount of the unpaid overpayment and/or penalty plus interest accrued, and the date the warrant was filed. The amount of the warrant as docketed shall become a lien upon the title to and interest in all real and personal property of the worker, beneficiary, or other person against whom the warrant is issued, the same as a judgment in a civil case docketed in the office of such clerk. The sheriff shall then proceed in the same manner and with like effect as prescribed by law with respect to execution or other process issued against rights or property upon judgment in the superior court. Such warrant so docketed shall be sufficient to support the issuance of writs of garnishment in favor of the department or self-insurer in the manner provided by law in the case of judgment, wholly or partially unsatisfied. The clerk of the court shall be entitled to a filing fee under RCW 36.18.012(10), which shall be added to the amount of the warrant. A copy of such warrant shall be mailed to the worker, beneficiary, or other person within three days of filing with the clerk.
The director, director's designee, or self-insurer may issue to any person, firm, corporation, municipal corporation, political subdivision of the state, public corporation, or agency of the state, a notice to withhold and deliver property of any kind if there is reason to believe that there is in the possession of such person, firm, corporation, municipal corporation, political subdivision of the state, public corporation, or agency of the state, property that is due, owing, or belonging to any worker, beneficiary, or other person upon whom a warrant has been served for payments due the department or self-insurer. The notice and order to withhold and deliver shall be served by certified mail accompanied by an affidavit of service by mailing or served by the sheriff of the county, or by the sheriff's deputy, or by any authorized representative of the director, director's designee, or self-insurer. Any person, firm, corporation, municipal corporation, political subdivision of the state, public corporation, or agency of the state upon whom service has been made shall answer the notice within twenty days exclusive of the day of service, under oath and in writing, and shall make true answers to the matters inquired or in the notice and order to withhold and deliver. In the event there is in the possession of the party named and served with such notice and order, any property that may be subject to the claim of the department or self-insurer, such property shall be delivered forthwith to the director, the director's authorized representative, or self-insurer upon demand. If the party served and named in the notice and order fails to answer the notice and order within the time prescribed in this section, the court may, after the time to answer such order has expired, render judgment by default against the party named in the notice for the full amount, plus costs, claimed by the director, director's designee, or self-insurer in the notice. In the event that a notice to withhold and deliver is served upon an employer and the property found to be subject thereto is wages, the employer may assert in the answer all exemptions provided for by chapter 6.27 RCW to which the wage earner may be entitled.
This subsection shall only apply to orders assessing an overpayment which are issued on or after July 28, 1991: PROVIDED, That this subsection shall apply retroactively to all orders assessing an overpayment resulting from fraud, civil or criminal.
(7) Orders assessing an overpayment which are issued on or after July 28, 1991, shall include a conspicuous notice of the collection methods available to the department or self-insurer.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 51.32 RCW to read as follows:
(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, each self-insured employer shall retain from the earnings of each of its workers that amount as shall be fixed from time to time by the director, the basis for measuring said amount to be determined by the director. These moneys shall only be retained from employees and remitted to the department in such manner and at such intervals as the department directs and shall be placed in the self-insured employer overpayment reimbursement fund. The moneys so collected shall be used exclusively for reimbursement to the reserve fund and to self-insured employers for benefits overpaid during the pendency of board or court appeals in which the self-insured employer prevails and has not recovered, and shall be no more than necessary to make such payments on a current basis.
(2) None of the amount assessed for the employer overpayment reimbursement fund under this section may be retained from the earnings of workers covered under RCW 51.16.210.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 51.44 RCW to read as follows:
The self-insured employer overpayment reimbursement fund is created in the custody of the state treasurer. Expenditures from the account may be used only for reimbursing the reserve fund and self-insured employers for benefits overpaid during the pendency of board or court appeals in which the self-insured employer prevails and has not recovered. Only the director or the director's designee may authorize expenditures from the account. The account is subject to allotment procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but an appropriation is not required for expenditures.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. A new section is added to chapter 51.52 RCW to read as follows:
(1) The department shall study appeals of workers' compensation cases and collect information on the impacts of this act on state fund and self-insured workers and employers. The study shall consider the types of benefits that may be paid pending an appeal, and shall include, but not be limited to:
(a) The frequency and outcomes of appeals;
(b) The duration of appeals and any procedural or process changes made by the board to implement this act and expedite the process;
(c) The number of and amount of overpayments resulting from decisions of the board or court; and
(d) The processes used and efforts made to recoup overpayments and the results of those efforts.
(2) State fund and self-insured employers shall provide the information requested by the department to conduct the study.
(3) The department shall report to the workers' compensation advisory committee by July 1, 2009, on the preliminary results of the study. By December 1, 2009, and annually thereafter, with the final report due by December 1, 2011, the department shall report to the workers' compensation advisory committee and the appropriate committees of the legislature on the results of the study. The workers' compensation advisory committee shall provide its recommendations for addressing overpayments resulting from this act, including the need for and ability to fund a permanent method to reimburse employer and state fund overpayment costs.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. Section 2 of this act takes effect January 1, 2009.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 7. This act applies to orders issued on or after the effective date of this section."

THIRD READING
ENGROSSED SECOND SUBSTITUTE HOUSE BILL NO. 3139, by House Appropriations (originally sponsored by Representatives Conway, Wood, Green, Moeller, Simpson, and Ormsby)
Providing for stays of industrial insurance orders on appeal.
Mr. Speaker (Representative Morris presiding): "Representative Newhouse raised a point of parliamentary inquiry as to the number of votes required for final passage of Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 3139. The inquiry requires the Speaker to determine whether the amounts assessed constitute a "tax", and therefore require a two third (2/3) vote for passage under the provisions of RCW 43.135.035, as amended by Initiative 960.
The bill establishes a self-insured employer overpayment reimbursement fund as part of the state's workers' compensation program. The fund is financed by amounts self-insured employers retain from the earnings of workers, with the amount of and the basis for measuring the amount determined by the Director of Labor and Industries. The fund is used to reimburse self-insured employers for industrial insurance benefits paid, but found as a result of an adjudication to be erroneous.
The Speaker notes that taxes are collected for the general for the general support of government, and that courts have specifically distinguished industrial insurance payments from taxes. In this instance, the amounts assessed are part of the industrial insurance system, they are placed into a segregated account, and they may be used only for specified purposes.
The Speaker therefore finds that the amounts assessed do not constitute a tax, and that the bill may be enacted by a constitutional majority of 50 affirmative votes."
The Speaker (Representative Morris presiding) stated the question before the House to be the final passage of Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 3139 as recommended by the Conference Committee.

The department shall provide grants to eligible organizations, as described in RCW 43.185.060, to provide assistance to program participants. The eligible organizations must use grant moneys for:

Infrastructure Investment System (08-2-859)
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations: The legislature intends to begin a process of reevaluating the policy goals and priorities for the allocation of infrastructure assistance program funds through the use of information that is available and reviewed each biennium by the infrastructure programs.
(1) The appropriation in this section is provided solely for the office of financial management, in cooperation with the department of community, trade, and economic development, the department of ecology, the department of health, the transportation improvement board, and the office of the state treasurer to develop an implementation plan. The implementation plan will also be developed in consultation with existing and potential state infrastructure program grant and loan recipients, other stakeholders, and the legislature. The implementation plan must identify options for the organization and coordination of appropriate state infrastructure assistance programs into an improved infrastructure investment system. The implementation plan must identify opportunities for the improved infrastructure investment system to achieve the following:
(a) Ease of access to program information and applications;
(b) Access to technical assistance;
(c) Coordination of program investment to ensure that all budget and tax support from all state sources is disclosed and considered as a total package of assistance. This includes the identification of taxes paid by taxing districts and regions and the benefits received from those same districts and regions;
(d) The promotion of strategic investments of state resources that are aligned with state policy goals, which includes laws, administrative rules, and program policies;
(e) The reduction of the cost of private market borrowing for jurisdictions with higher costs;
(f) The identification of additional revenue for local infrastructure; and
(g) Effective and efficient program administration.
(2) The development of an implementation plan must build upon prior studies and inventories of infrastructure programs and a further analysis of the major local infrastructure assistance programs. The implementation plan must be based on analysis, including the following:
(a) Identification of the benefits from state grants and interest rate subsidies to rate payers and local tax payers;
(b) A comparison of state policy goals, which are primary considerations in determining project funding decisions, with the actual funding decisions, the criteria used to rank proposals, and the performance measures used to monitor the success of the programs;
(c) The compilation of the total amount of assistance received by jurisdictions over the past five biennia;
(d) A comparison of the terms of a sample of low-interest loans provided to public infrastructure projects with the terms of private market borrowing that the jurisdictions would have been able to obtain. The sample of loans must include different types and sizes of projects and jurisdictions; and
(e) An identification of funds leveraged with state infrastructure resources.
(3) The legislature also intends to use information from the multiple infrastructure assistance programs to provide direction for future funding priorities. The legislature will base those priorities on information from infrastructure assistance programs, including the programs' recommendations for the following:
(a) Needed investment for the different types of infrastructure projects over the next six years;
(b) Funding allocation of the projected existing state infrastructure assistance resources to those types of projects;
(c) Reallocation of existing state resources for infrastructure projects; and
(d) New and existing local and state revenue sources to address unfunded local infrastructure needs. In estimating the needed investment for different types of infrastructure projects, infrastructure assistance programs may include in their recommendations new types of projects that are not authorized in statute.
(4) The implementation plan and analysis must be completed by December 1, 2008.

FOR THE OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Snohomish, Island, and Skagit County Regional Higher Education (08-2-001)
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) It is the intent of the legislature that the four-year institutions and the community and technical colleges work as cooperative partners to ensure the successful and efficient operation of the state's system of higher education. In furtherance of the state's responsibility for the expansion of baccalaureate and graduate educational programs in the central Puget Sound area, the University of Washington shall govern and operate an additional branch campus to be located in the Snohomish/Island/Skagit county area. Top priorities for the campus include expansion of upper division capacity for transfer students and graduate students in high demand programs, with a particular focus on science, technology, and engineering. The campus may offer lower division courses linked to specific majors in fields not addressed at local community colleges. The campus may also directly admit freshmen and sophomores gradually and deliberately in accordance with a campus plan to be submitted to the higher education coordinating board. All student admissions will be carried out in accordance with coadmissions and proportionality agreements emphasizing access for transfer students codeveloped by the University of Washington and the state board for community and technical colleges.
(2) The office of financial management and the University of Washington are directed to assess options and make recommendations on the siting of the branch campus in the Snohomish/Island/Skagit county region and shall develop operational and management plans needed to establish the institution. The plans shall include but not be limited to a master business plan for design and implementation, and programs to be offered to address demographic pressures and workforce needs. Planning and analysis shall be done in coordination with the local community and existing higher education institutions. Site selection criteria shall include, but not be limited to: Meeting the objectives of the master business plan; meeting the unmet baccalaureate needs in the region, including high demand program needs; compliance with provisions of the state's growth management act; and accessibility from existing and planned transportation infrastructure.
(3) Five years from the time the first class of students enters the new institution, the higher education coordinating board will work with the new institution and a local advisory board to: (a) Review the extent to which the new institution is meeting the baccalaureate degree needs of the citizens and businesses of the region and state; (b) assess any additional steps needed to accomplish the goals set forth in subsection (1) of this section, and; (c) assess the relationship between the new institution and other higher education institutions in the region and the state.
(4) The state board for community and technical colleges and the University of Washington shall plan for transition of appropriate programs from the university center to upper division programs at the branch campus.
(5) The office of financial management and the University of Washington shall report to the governor and the appropriate committees of the senate and house of representatives by November 15, 2007, on campus siting recommendations and a preliminary design and implementation plan. ((The final design and implementation plan shall be delivered to the governor and the appropriate committees of the senate and house of representatives by June 1, 2008.))
(6) The office of financial management may contract with outside sources to carry out the provisions of this section.

The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations: Planning funds are provided solely to lease/develop state office buildings and facilities for the department of information services on the "Wheeler block" of the east capitol campus. The office buildings shall be constructed and financed so that agencies' occupancy costs per gross square foot or per employee will not exceed 110 percent of comparable private market rental rates per gross square foot or per employee. The comparable general office space rate shall be calculated based on recent Thurston county leases of new space of at least 100,000 rentable square feet adjusted for known escalation clauses, expected inflation, and differences in the level of service provided by the comparable leases as determined by the department in consultation with the department of general administration. In addition to the department of information services, state agency tenants shall include the state patrol and general office facilities for small agencies and offices. The department shall design and operate the general office facilities for small agencies and offices as a demonstration of the efficiencies gained from the integration of office space and telecommunications and computer technology. The demonstration project shall provide office space, furniture, and telecommunications and computer technology as a single package. The facility shall be designed so that small agencies and offices can move in and out of the facility without the typical moving expenses that result from individual agency ownership of furniture and technology. The facility for small agencies and offices shall also provide for staffing and space efficiencies resulting from central reception, and support services and spaces. The department of general administration shall coordinate with state agency tenants of the existing general administration building that will not be relocated to the new facilities of the "Wheeler block" for occupancy of state-owned or existing leased facilities ((vacated by the state patrol or the department of information services)) within Thurston county prior to relocation to new or not currently state-owned or leased facilities. The department shall consider alternatives for backfilling vacated state patrol or department of information services leased facilities when possible.

Flood Protection Study (08-2-855)
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
The legislature finds that levees across the state provide protection to hundreds of communities from flooding. Many of these levee systems are old, built with substandard materials, and were not designed to provide the level of protection that the communities behind them need. Recent decertification of levees in King and Pierce counties by the United States army corps of engineers indicates a growing problem with levee maintenance. As more levees are decertified, land behind those levees is considered to be located in the regulated floodplain. Because of this, many homeowners and businesses must obtain flood insurance, and new construction projects must meet strict new building codes.
Therefore, the appropriation in this section is provided solely for the department to conduct a study to determine the number of decertified levees in the state and to identify strategies for recertifying the levees so that they provide optimum protection for the communities protected by the levees. The department must prioritize areas to include in the study based on population and the economic impact of potential flood damage.
The study shall include the following components:
(1) A working group of levee managers to advise and inform the study;
(2) A technical review of the structural integrity of levee systems;
(3) An inventory, map, and rate the effectiveness of existing levee systems; and
(4) The development of strategies and actions needed to improve the existing levee system and to ensure certification by the United States army corps of engineers for one-hundred year flood protection.
The study must be completed and a report provided to the appropriate legislative committees by July 1, 2009.

Conversion Land Acquisition (08-1-950)
The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations: The appropriations are provided solely for acquisition of working forest lands at risk of conversion to nonforest uses. The legislature finds that the chronic loss of working forest lands threatens the long-term prospects of the timber products industry, which in turn threatens the long-term economic return for the beneficiaries of state trust lands. Acquisition of these conversion lands is intended to help stabilize the primary source of revenue to trust land beneficiaries. The department shall submit a report to the appropriate committees of the legislature by October 1, 2008, indicating the lands purchased under this section, showing the locations, acres, purchase price, and within that purchase price, the value of the property attributed to the future value of timber harvests given an expected rate of return for timber lands, and the value of the property attributed to future development of the property. It is the intention of the legislature to lease or otherwise acquire the development rights of these conversion lands and retain them as long-term working forest lands under the sustainable harvest plan. Working forest lands acquired under this section shall be managed at a level equal to or greater than seventy-five percent of the expected harvest under the sustainable harvest plan. The appropriation provided in this section shall lapse unless chapter 504, Laws of 2007, or similar provisions contained in other legislation, is enacted prior to June 30, 2007. No amounts appropriated in this section shall be expended on the central cascade land exchange unless one of the two following conditions are met: (1) The four Stemilt parcels in T21R20E are excluded from the exchange; or (2) the four Stemilt parcels in T21R20E are included in the exchange and the department and Chelan county, as chair of the Stemilt partnership, agree on a plan for eventual ownership, disposition, and management of the four Stemilt parcels. The department shall manage cash balances in the natural resources real property replacement account such that cash balances are sufficient for the treasurer transfers required in section 6030 of this act. The department may also transfer funds from the land bank subaccount of the resource management cost account to the natural resources real property replacement account to ensure sufficient cash balances.

The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) The joint legislative committee on school construction funding finds that high growth school districts are often unable to acquire lands best suited for siting new schools.

School Construction Assistance Grants (08-4-200)
The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) For state assistance grants for purposes of calculating square foot eligibility, kindergarten student headcount shall not be reduced by fifty percent.
(2) The legislature has made a commitment to phase in all-day kindergarten programs beginning with the 2007-08 school year. However, the legislature finds that one potential barrier to successful expansion of all-day kindergarten programs may be a lack of facilities that meet the requirements of an all-day kindergarten program. The office of the superintendent of public instruction, in consultation with the school facilities citizen advisory panel, shall examine alternatives for addressing school facilities needs for all-day kindergarten programs, including adapting existing unused space, creating innovative public-private partnerships and partnerships with early learning providers, shifting the location of current programs within a district or a school, and temporary, limited use of portables. The office of the superintendent of public instruction shall submit a report to the capital budget committee of the house of representatives and the ways and means committee of the senate by September 1, 2007, with recommendations on preferred alternatives and an analysis of the feasibility and cost of implementing the alternatives.
(3) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the office of the superintendent of public instruction shall review and evaluate the cost and other implications of changing the current annual release cycle for the school construction assistance program. The office of the superintendent of public instruction shall prepare a report resulting from their review and evaluation by December 1, 2008. This report must include a specific plan for implementing the change in the 2009-2011 biennium.

The comparable general office space rate shall be calculated based on recent Thurston county leases of new space of at least 100,000 rentable square feet adjusted for known escalation clauses, expected inflation, and differences in the level of service provided by the comparable leases as determined by the department in consultation with the department of general administration. In addition to the department of information services, state agency tenants shall include the consolidation of state patrol offices and general office facilities for small agencies and offices. The department of information services shall design and operate the general office facilities for small agencies and offices as a demonstration of the efficiencies gained from the integration of office space and telecommunications and computer technology. The demonstration project shall provide office space, furniture, telecommunications, and computer technology as a single package. The facility shall be designed so that small agencies and offices can move in and out of the facility without the typical moving expenses that result from individual agency ownership of furniture and technology. The facility for small agencies and offices shall also provide for staffing and space efficiencies resulting from central reception, support services, and spaces. The office of financial management shall certify to the state treasurer: (a) The project description and dollar amount; and (b) that all requirements of this subsection (8) have been met. Should the department of information services choose to use a financing contract that does not provide for the issuance of certificates of participation, the financing contract shall be subject to approval by the state finance committee as required by RCW 39.94.010. In approving a financing contract not providing for the use of certificates of participation, the state finance committee should be reasonably certain that the contract is excluded from the computation of indebtedness, particularly that the contract is not backed by the full faith and credit of the state and the legislature is expressly not obligated to appropriate funds to make payments. For purposes of this section, "financing contract" includes but is not limited to a certificate of participation and tax exempt financing similar to that authorized in RCW 47.79.140.
(9) Office of the secretary of state: Enter into a financing contract for up to (($112,942,000)) $134,935,000 plus financing expenses and required reserves pursuant to chapter 39.94 RCW to construct the heritage center.

For the 2007-2009 biennium, moneys in the account may be used for grants for projects identified in section 138, chapter 488, Laws of 2005, for the infrastructure investment system implementation plan identified in section 1022 of this act; for the interest rate buy-down pilot program identified in section 1004 of this act; and for the housing assistance, weatherization, and affordable housing program identified in section 1005 of this act.
(2) The job development fund is hereby established in the state treasury. Up to fifty million dollars each biennium from the public works assistance account may be transferred into the job development fund.

The board may provide an additional alternate job development fund project list of up to ten million dollars. The legislature may remove projects from the list recommended by the board. The legislature may not change the prioritization of projects recommended for funding by the board, but may add projects from the alternate list in order of priority, as long as the total funding does not exceed fifty million dollars.
Sec. 6003. RCW 48.02.190 and 2007 c 153 s 3 and 2007 c 468 s 1 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
(1) As used in this section:
(a) "Organization" means every insurer, as defined in RCW 48.01.050, having a certificate of authority to do business in this state, every health care service contractor, as defined in RCW 48.44.010, every health maintenance organization, as defined in RCW 48.46.020, or self-funded multiple employer welfare arrangement, as defined in RCW 48.125.010, registered to do business in this state. "Class one" organizations shall consist of all insurers as defined in RCW 48.01.050. "Class two" organizations shall consist of all organizations registered under provisions of chapters 48.44 and 48.46 RCW. "Class three" organizations shall consist of self-funded multiple employer welfare arrangements as defined in RCW 48.125.010.
(b)(i) "Receipts" means (A) net direct premiums consisting of direct gross premiums, as defined in RCW 48.18.170, paid for insurance written or renewed upon risks or property resident, situated, or to be performed in this state, less return premiums and premiums on policies not taken, dividends paid or credited to policyholders on direct business, and premiums received from policies or contracts issued in connection with qualified plans as defined in RCW 48.14.021, and (B) prepayments to health care service contractors, as defined in RCW 48.44.010, health maintenance organizations, as defined in RCW 48.46.020, or participant contributions to self-funded multiple employer welfare arrangements, as defined in RCW 48.125.010, less experience rating credits, dividends, prepayments returned to subscribers, and payments for contracts not taken.
(ii) Participant contributions, under chapter 48.125 RCW, used to determine the receipts in this state under this section shall be determined in the same manner as premiums taxable in this state are determined under RCW 48.14.090.
(c) "Regulatory surcharge" means the fees imposed by this section.
(2) The annual cost of operating the office of insurance commissioner shall be determined by legislative appropriation. A pro rata share of the cost shall be charged to all organizations as a regulatory surcharge. Each class of organization shall contribute a sufficient amount to the insurance commissioner's regulatory account to pay the reasonable costs, including overhead, of regulating that class of organization.
(3) The regulatory surcharge shall be calculated separately for each class of organization. The regulatory surcharge collected from each organization shall be that portion of the cost of operating the insurance commissioner's office, for that class of organization, for the ensuing fiscal year that is represented by the organization's portion of the receipts collected or received by all organizations within that class on business in this state during the previous calendar year. However, the regulatory surcharge must not exceed one-eighth of one percent of receipts and the minimum regulatory surcharge shall be one thousand dollars.
(4) The commissioner shall annually, on or before June 1st, calculate and bill each organization for the amount of the regulatory surcharge. The regulatory surcharge shall be due and payable no later than June 15th of each year. However, if the necessary financial records are not available or if the amount of the legislative appropriation is not determined in time to carry out such calculations and bill such regulatory surcharge within the time specified, the commissioner may use the regulatory surcharge factors for the prior year as the basis for the regulatory surcharge and, if necessary, the commissioner may impose supplemental fees to fully and properly charge the organizations. Any organization failing to pay the regulatory surcharges by June 30th shall pay the same penalties as the penalties for failure to pay taxes when due under RCW 48.14.060. The regulatory surcharge required by this section is in addition to all other taxes and fees now imposed or that may be subsequently imposed.
(5) All moneys collected shall be deposited in the insurance commissioner's regulatory account in the state treasury which is hereby created.
(6) Unexpended funds in the insurance commissioner's regulatory account at the close of a fiscal year shall be carried forward in the insurance commissioner's regulatory account to the succeeding fiscal year and shall be used to reduce future regulatory surcharges. During the 2007-2009 fiscal biennium, the legislature may transfer from the insurance commissioner's regulatory account to the Washington state heritage center account such amounts as reflect excess fund balance in the account.
(7)(a) Each insurer may annually collect regulatory surcharges remitted in preceding years by means of a policyholder surcharge on premiums charged for all kinds of insurance. The recoupment shall be at a uniform rate reasonably calculated to collect the regulatory surcharge remitted by the insurer.
(b) If an insurer fails to collect the entire amount of the recoupment in the first year under this section, it may repeat the recoupment procedure provided for in this subsection (7) in succeeding years until the regulatory surcharge is fully collected or a de minimis amount remains uncollected. Any such de minimis amount may be collected as provided in (d) of this subsection.
(c) The amount and nature of any recoupment shall be separately stated on either a billing or policy declaration sent to an insured. The amount of the recoupment must not be considered a premium for any purpose, including the premium tax or agents' commissions.
(d) An insurer may elect not to collect the regulatory surcharge from its insured. In such a case, the insurer may recoup the regulatory surcharge through its rates, if the following requirements are met:
(i) The insurer remits the amount of surcharge not collected by election under this subsection; and
(ii) The surcharge is not considered a premium for any purpose, including the premium tax or agents' commission.
Sec. 6004. RCW 79.64.020 and 2004 c 199 s 226 are each amended to read as follows:
A resource management cost account in the state treasury is created to be used solely for the purpose of defraying the costs and expenses necessarily incurred by the department in managing and administering state lands and aquatic lands and the making and administering of leases, sales, contracts, licenses, permits, easements, and rights-of-way as authorized under the provisions of this title. Appropriations from the resource management cost account to the department shall be expended for no other purposes. Funds in the resource management cost account may be appropriated or transferred by the legislature for the benefit of all of the trusts from which the funds were derived. For the 2007-2009 biennium, moneys in the account may be used for the purposes identified in section 3044 of this act.
Sec. 6005. RCW 40.14.024 and 2003 c 163 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
The local government archives account is created in the state treasury. All receipts collected by the county auditors under RCW 40.14.027 and 36.22.175 for local government services, such as providing records scheduling, security microfilm inspection and storage, archival preservation, cataloging, and indexing for local government records and digital data and access to those records and data through the regional branch archives of the division of archives and records management, must be deposited into the account, and expenditures from the account may be used only for these purposes. During the 2007-2009 biennium, the legislature may transfer from the local government archives account to the Washington state heritage center account such amounts as reflect the excess fund balance in the account.
Sec. 6006. RCW 36.22.175 and 2003 c 163 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:
(1)(a) In addition to any other charge authorized by law, the county auditor shall charge a surcharge of one dollar per instrument for each document recorded. Revenue generated through this surcharge shall be transmitted monthly to the state treasurer for deposit in the local government archives account under RCW 40.14.024. These funds shall be used solely for providing records scheduling, security microfilm inspection and storage, archival preservation, cataloging, and indexing for local government records and digital data and access to those records and data through the regional branch archives of the division of archives and records management.
(b) The division of archives and records management within the office of the secretary of state shall provide records management training for local governments and shall establish a competitive grant program to solicit and prioritize project proposals from local governments for potential funding to be paid for by funds from the auditor surcharge and tax warrant surcharge revenues.

The state archivist in consultation with the advisory committee established under RCW 40.14.027 shall adopt rules governing project eligibility, evaluation, awarding of grants, and other criteria including requirements for records management training for grant recipients.
(2) The advisory committee established under RCW 40.14.027 shall review grant proposals and establish a prioritized list of projects to be considered for funding by January 1st of each even-numbered year, beginning in 2002. The evaluation of proposals and development of the prioritized list must be developed through open public meetings.

A grant award may have an effective date other than the date the project is placed on the prioritized list.
(3)(a) In addition to any other surcharge authorized by law, the county auditor shall charge a surcharge of one dollar per instrument for every document recorded after January 1, 2002. Revenue generated through this surcharge shall be transmitted to the state treasurer monthly for deposit in the local government archives account under RCW 40.14.024 to be used exclusively for: (i) The construction and improvement of a specialized regional facility located in eastern Washington designed to serve the archives, records management, and digital data management needs of local government; and (ii) payment of the certificate of participation issued for the Washington state heritage center to the extent there is an excess fund balance in the account and fees generated under RCW 36.18.010 and 43.07.128 are insufficient to meet debt service payments on the certificate of participation.
(b) To the extent the facilities are used for the storage and retrieval of state agency records and digital data, that portion of the construction of such facilities used for state government records and data shall be supported by other charges and fees paid by state agencies and shall not be supported by the surcharge authorized in this subsection, except that to the extent there is an excess fund balance in the account and fees generated under RCW 36.18.010 and 43.07.128 are insufficient to meet debt service payments for the Washington state heritage center, the local government archives account under RCW 40.14.024 may be used for the Washington state heritage center.
(c) At such time that all debt service from construction ((on such facility)) of the specialized regional archive facility located in eastern Washington has been paid, fifty percent of the surcharge authorized by this subsection shall be reverted to the centennial document preservation and modernization account as prescribed in RCW 36.22.170 and fifty percent of the surcharge authorized by this section shall be reverted to the state treasurer for deposit in the archives and records management account to serve the archives, records management, and digital data management needs of local government, except that the state treasurer shall not revert funds to the centennial document preservation and modernization account and to the archives and records management account if fees generated under RCW 36.18.010 and 43.07.128 are insufficient to meet debt service payments on the Washington state heritage center.
Sec. 6007. RCW 43.09.282 and 1995 c 301 s 20 are each amended to read as follows:
For the purposes of centralized funding, accounting, and distribution of the costs of the audits performed on local governments by the state auditor, there is hereby created an account entitled the municipal revolving account. The state treasurer shall be custodian of the account. All moneys received by the state auditor or by any officer or employee thereof shall be deposited with the state treasurer and credited to the municipal revolving account. Only the state auditor or the auditor's designee may authorize expenditures from the account. No appropriation is required for expenditures.

During the 2007-2009 fiscal biennium, the legislature may transfer from the municipal revolving account to the Washington state heritage center account such amounts as reflect excess fund balance in the account.

The evaluation shall include a review of the methods used to prepare estimates at agencies with large capital programs, a review of the process used by the office of financial management and legislative fiscal committees to evaluate project cost estimates, and an analysis of the accuracy of project cost estimates compared to actual project costs over time for a subset of projects. The evaluation will also recommend other areas of capital project risk for assessment in future evaluations. The joint legislative audit and review committee shall submit a report to the relevant fiscal committees of the legislature by August 2009.

MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE
March 13, 2008
Mr. Speaker:
The Senate receded from its amendment to SUBSTITUTE HOUSE BILL NO. 2279. Under suspension of the rules the bill was returned to second reading for purpose of amendment. The Senate adopted the following amendment and passed the bill as amended by the Senate:
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. It is the public policy of the state to assist in making affordable housing available throughout the state. The legislature recognizes that despite ongoing efforts there is still a lack of affordable housing in many areas. The legislature also recognizes that some local governments have imposed development requirements on affordable housing developments that are not generally imposed on other housing developments. The intent of this legislature is to prohibit discrimination against affordable housing developments.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

The department of revenue shall appoint additional members from the department with expertise in the excise taxation of electronically delivered products.
(iii) The committee shall choose its chair from among its membership.
(iv) The department and committee shall review the following issues: The provision of explicit statutory definitions for electronically delivered products; the current excise tax treatment of electronically delivered products in the state of Washington and other states as well as the tax treatment of these products under the streamlined sales and use tax agreement; the administration, costs, and potential recipients of the tax exemptions provided in chapter . . . (Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1981), Laws of 2007; and alternatives to the excise taxation of electronically delivered products.
(v) Legislative members of the committee are reimbursed for travel expenses in accordance with RCW 44.04.120. Nonlegislative members of the committee, except those representing an employer or organization, are entitled to be reimbursed for travel expenses in accordance with RCW 43.03.050 and 43.03.060.
(c) The department shall report its preliminary findings and recommendations to the appropriate fiscal committees of the legislature by November 30, 2007.

FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES. (1) Appropriations made in this act to the department of social and health services shall initially be allotted as required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as expressly provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications permit moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose to be used for other than that purpose.
(2) The department of social and health services shall not initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The department may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the department receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated state general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative fiscal committees. As used in this subsection, "unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants and other funds that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined projects or matched on a formula basis by state funds.
(3) The appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act.
(4) The department is authorized to develop an integrated health care program designed to slow the progression of illness and disability and better manage medicaid expenditures for the aged and disabled population. Under this Washington medicaid integration partnership (WMIP), the department may combine and transfer such medicaid funds appropriated under sections 204, 206, 208, and 209 of this act as may be necessary to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP program enrollment. The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily enrollment of ((13,000)) 6,000 persons, nor expand beyond one county, during the 2007-2009 biennium. The amount of funding assigned to the pilot projects from each program may not exceed the average per capita cost assumed in this act for individuals covered by that program, actuarially adjusted for the health condition of persons enrolled in the pilot project, times the number of clients enrolled in the pilot project.

(b) Individuals receiving family support or high school transition payments as supplemental security income (SSI) state supplemental payments shall not become eligible for medical assistance under RCW 74.09.510 due solely to the receipt of SSI state supplemental payments.
(c) $4,903,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2008, $9,295,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2009, and $15,016,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for community residential and support services.

First priority shall be given to children who are at risk of institutionalization. The department shall ensure that the average cost per day for all program services other than start-up costs shall not exceed $300. In order to maximize the number of clients served and ensure the cost-effectiveness of the waiver programs, the department will strive to limit new client placement expenditures to 90 percent of the budgeted daily rate. If this can be accomplished, additional clients may be served with excess funds, provided the total projected carry-forward expenditures do not exceed the amounts estimated. The department shall electronically report to the appropriate committees of the legislature, within 45 days following each fiscal year quarter, the number of persons served with these additional community services, where they were residing, what kinds of services they were receiving prior to placement, and the actual expenditures for all community services to support these clients.
(d) (($2,799,000)) $2,399,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2008, $5,961,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2009, and (($9,268,000)) $8,849,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for expanded community services for persons with developmental disabilities who also have community protection issues. Funding in this subsection shall be prioritized for (i) clients being diverted or discharged from the state psychiatric hospitals; (ii) clients participating in the dangerous mentally ill offender program; (iii) clients participating in the community protection program; and (iv) mental health crisis diversion outplacements.

In order to maximize the number of clients served and ensure the cost-effectiveness of the waiver programs, the department will strive to limit new client placement expenditures to 90 percent of the budgeted daily rate. If this can be accomplished, additional clients may be served with excess funds if the total projected carry-forward expenditures do not exceed the amounts estimated. The department shall implement the four new waiver programs such that decisions about enrollment levels and the amount, duration, and scope of services maintain expenditures within appropriations. The department shall electronically report to the appropriate committees of the legislature, within 45 days following each fiscal year quarter, the number of persons served with these additional community services, where they were residing, what kinds of services they were receiving prior to placement, and the actual expenditures for all community services to support these clients.

It is the legislature's further intent that costs otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed solely because such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the nursing home from these supplemental payments. The supplemental payments are subject to retrospective interim and final cost settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final medicare cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost settlements shall be at the department's discretion. During either the interim cost settlement or the final cost settlement, the department shall recoup from the public hospital districts the supplemental payments that exceed the medicaid cost limit and/or the medicare upper payment limit. The department shall apply federal rules for identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs and the medicare upper payment limit.

The department shall submit ((a)) reports to the governor and legislature by November 1, 2007, and by November 1, 2008, that evaluate((s)) whether savings continue to exceed costs for this program. If the certified public expenditures (CPE) program in its current form is no longer cost-effective to maintain, the department shall submit a report to the governor and legislature detailing cost-effective alternative uses of local, state, and federal resources as a replacement for this program. During fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2009, hospitals in the program shall be paid and shall retain (a) one hundred percent of the federal portion of the allowable hospital cost for each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service claim payable by medical assistance; and (b) one hundred percent of the federal portion of the maximum disproportionate share hospital payment allowable under federal regulations. Inpatient medicaid payments shall be established using an allowable methodology that approximates the cost of claims submitted by the hospitals. Payments made to each hospital in the program in each fiscal year of the biennium shall be compared to a baseline amount ((that is the total of (a) the total payment for claims for services rendered during the fiscal year calculated according to the methodology employed by the legislature in the omnibus appropriations act for implementation in fiscal year 2008)). The baseline amount will be determined by the total of (a) the inpatient claim payment amounts that would have been paid during the fiscal year had the hospital not been in the CPE program, and (b) disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005 that pertain to fiscal year 2005. If payments during the fiscal year exceed the hospital's baseline amount, no additional payments will be made to the hospital except the federal portion of allowable disproportionate share hospital payments for which the hospital can certify allowable match. If payments during the fiscal year are less than the baseline amount, the hospital will be paid a state grant equal to the difference between payments during the fiscal year and the applicable baseline amount. Payment of the state grant shall be made in the applicable fiscal year and ((is)) distributed in monthly payments. The grants will be recalculated and redistributed as the baseline is updated during the fiscal year. The grant payments are subject to an interim ((cost)) settlement within eleven months after the end of the fiscal year.

The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) Funding for special education programs is provided on an excess cost basis, pursuant to RCW 28A.150.390. School districts shall ensure that special education students as a class receive their full share of the general apportionment allocation accruing through sections 502 and 504 of this act. To the extent a school district cannot provide an appropriate education for special education students under chapter 28A.155 RCW through the general apportionment allocation, it shall provide services through the special education excess cost allocation funded in this section.
(2)(a) The superintendent of public instruction shall ensure that:
(i) Special education students are basic education students first;
(ii) As a class, special education students are entitled to the full basic education allocation; and
(iii) Special education students are basic education students for the entire school day.
(b) The superintendent of public instruction shall adopt the full cost method of excess cost accounting, as designed by the committee and recommended by the superintendent, pursuant to section 501(1)(k), chapter 372, Laws of 2006, and ensure that all school districts adopt the method beginning in the 2007-08 school year.
(3) Each fiscal year appropriation includes such funds as are necessary to complete the school year ending in the fiscal year and for prior fiscal year adjustments.
(4) The superintendent of public instruction shall distribute state funds to school districts based on two categories: (a) The first category includes (i) children birth through age two who are eligible for the optional program for special education eligible developmentally delayed infants and toddlers, and (ii) students eligible for the mandatory special education program and who are age three or four, or five and not yet enrolled in kindergarten; and (b) the second category includes students who are eligible for the mandatory special education program and who are age five and enrolled in kindergarten and students age six through 21.
(5)(a) For the 2007-08 and 2008-09 school years, the superintendent shall make allocations to each district based on the sum of:
(i) A district's annual average headcount enrollment of students ages birth through four and those five year olds not yet enrolled in kindergarten, as defined in subsection (4) of this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student, multiplied by 1.15; and
(ii) A district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment multiplied by the funded enrollment percent determined pursuant to subsection (6)(b) of this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student multiplied by 0.9309.
(b) For purposes of this subsection, "average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student" for a district shall be based on the staffing ratios required by RCW 28A.150.260 and shall not include enhancements, secondary vocational education, or small schools.
(6) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this section.
(a) "Annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment" means the resident enrollment including students enrolled through choice (RCW 28A.225.225) and students from nonhigh districts (RCW 28A.225.210) and excluding students residing in another district enrolled as part of an interdistrict cooperative program (RCW 28A.225.250).
(b) "Enrollment percent" means the district's resident special education annual average enrollment, excluding the birth through age four enrollment and those five year olds not yet enrolled in kindergarten, as a percent of the district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment.
Each district's general fund--state funded special education enrollment shall be the lesser of the district's actual enrollment percent or 12.7 percent.
(7) At the request of any interdistrict cooperative of at least 15 districts in which all excess cost services for special education students of the districts are provided by the cooperative, the maximum enrollment percent shall be calculated in accordance with subsection (6)(b) of this section, and shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district units. For purposes of this subsection, the average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district units.
(8) To the extent necessary, (($30,690,000)) $53,926,000 of the general fund--state appropriation and $29,574,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided for safety net awards for districts with demonstrated needs for special education funding beyond the amounts provided in subsection (5) of this section.

Safety net funds shall be awarded by the state safety net oversight committee subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(a) The committee shall consider unmet needs for districts that can convincingly demonstrate that all legitimate expenditures for special education exceed all available revenues from state funding formulas. In the determination of need, the committee shall also consider additional available revenues from federal sources. Differences in program costs attributable to district philosophy, service delivery choice, or accounting practices are not a legitimate basis for safety net awards. In the determination of need, the committee shall require that districts demonstrate that they are maximizing their eligibility for all state and federal revenues related to services for special education-eligible students. Awards associated with (b) and (c) of this subsection shall not exceed the total of a district's specific determination of need.
(b) The committee shall then consider the extraordinary high cost needs of one or more individual special education students. Differences in costs attributable to district philosophy, service delivery choice, or accounting practices are not a legitimate basis for safety net awards.
(c) Using criteria developed by the committee, the committee shall then consider extraordinary costs associated with communities that draw a larger number of families with children in need of special education services. The safety net awards to school districts shall be adjusted to reflect amounts awarded under (b) of this subsection.
(d) The maximum allowable indirect cost for calculating safety net eligibility may not exceed the federal restricted indirect cost rate for the district plus one percent.
(e) Safety net awards must be adjusted for any audit findings or exceptions related to special education funding.
(f) Safety net awards shall be adjusted based on the percent of potential medicaid eligible students billed as calculated by the superintendent in accordance with chapter 318, Laws of 1999. The state safety net oversight committee shall ensure that safety net documentation and awards are based on current medicaid revenue amounts.
(9) The superintendent of public instruction may adopt such rules and procedures as are necessary to administer the special education funding and safety net award process. Prior to revising any standards, procedures, or rules, the superintendent shall consult with the office of financial management and the fiscal committees of the legislature.
(10) The safety net oversight committee appointed by the superintendent of public instruction shall consist of:
(a) One staff from the office of superintendent of public instruction;

(12) A maximum of $678,000 may be expended from the general fund--state appropriations to fund 5.43 full-time equivalent teachers and 2.1 full-time equivalent aides at children's orthopedic hospital and medical center. This amount is in lieu of money provided through the home and hospital allocation and the special education program.
(13) A maximum of $1,000,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation is provided for projects to provide special education students with appropriate job and independent living skills, including work experience where possible, to facilitate their successful transition out of the public school system.

The purpose of the program is to provide support to parents, guardians, educators, and students with disabilities. The program will provide information to help families and educators understand state laws, rules, and regulations, and access training and support, technical information services, and mediation services. The ombudsman program will provide data, information, and appropriate recommendations to the office of superintendent of public instruction, school districts, educational service districts, state need projects, and the parent and teacher information center. Within the appropriations in this section there is sufficient funding provided to also provide at least a half-time support staff position for the special education ombudsman program.
(15) The superintendent shall maintain the percentage of federal flow-through to school districts at 85 percent. In addition to other purposes, school districts may use increased federal funds for high-cost students, for purchasing regional special education services from educational service districts, and for staff development activities particularly relating to inclusion issues.
(16) A maximum of $1,200,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation may be expended by the superintendent for projects related to use of inclusion strategies by school districts for provision of special education services.
(17) The superintendent, consistent with the new federal IDEA reauthorization, shall continue to educate school districts on how to implement a birth-to-three program and review the cost effectiveness and learning benefits of early intervention.
(18) A school district may carry over from one year to the next year up to 10 percent of the general fund--state funds allocated under this program; however, carryover funds shall be expended in the special education program.
(19) $262,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2008 and $251,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2009 are provided solely for two additional full-time equivalent staff to support the work of the safety net committee and to provide training and support to districts applying for safety net awards.

WHEREAS, Representative Helen Sommers has honorably and distinguishably served the people of the 36th Legislative District for 36 years; and
WHEREAS, Representative Helen Sommers has led with wisdom, grace, and dignity, and taught lesser souls such as ourselves the way, we kneel in reverence and deep appreciation; and
WHEREAS, Helen's past is just as interesting as her present; as a very young woman, she had the courage to leave her home in New Jersey to go live and work in Venezuela; and
WHEREAS, Helen Sommers can just as easily contrast alternative state pension funding methodologies as she can different geological eras -- in Spanish or English, no less; and
WHEREAS, Many generations of Washington students owe a debt of gratitude to Helen for her unwavering belief in the benefits of a good education; and
WHEREAS, Over her many years in the Legislature, various members have used many varying terms when describing their relationship with Helen including trepidation, intimidation, fear, love, but most often respect; and
WHEREAS, Helen has, when faced with being blamed for many things throughout her illustrious career, merely shrugged it off with the comment, "What's another stripe to a tiger"; and
WHEREAS, Woe be to the staff person who handed Helen a document without the pages numbered; and
WHEREAS, Helen, pound for pound, packs more power than any other person on campus--yet she remains a font of common sense; and
WHEREAS, Although the intricacies of pension law confound many public policy experts, her persistent dedication to the sometimes obscure principles of pension funding has ensured a stable, well-funded pension system for the taxpayers and public employees of the state; and
WHEREAS, Helen saw to the nutritional needs of her fellow appropriations committee members by pulling endless bags and boxes of Trader Joe's snacks out of her bottom drawer, thereby theoretically eliminating our need for a real dinner break; and
WHEREAS, The greatest joy for some members of her committee was to see her smile and watch her laugh at some of the worst jokes from the minority party; and
WHEREAS, Helen Sommers is the inspirational compost-turning champion of the 36th District; and
WHEREAS, Helen Sommers would never approve of a resolution honoring Helen Sommers; and
WHEREAS, Helen Sommers would ask that this resolution briefly conclude its remarks as there are a lot more bills to get through on today's agenda; and
WHEREAS, Helen has decided that 36 years of legislating is quite enough, thank you; and
WHEREAS, The Washington State Legislature will not be the same without her;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives celebrate and commemorate the distinguished legislative, professional, and, most of all, personal career of Washington State Representative Helen Sommers; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be immediately transmitted by the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives to Washington State Representative Helen Sommers.
Representative Kessler moved the adoption of the resolution.
Representatives Kessler, DeBolt, Dunshee, Alexander, Dickerson, Ross, Fromhold, Anderson, Hunt, Hinkle, Linville, McIntire and Hankins spoke in favor of the adoption of the resolution.
Mr. Speaker: "On a personal level, I would like you to think about a couple of things. One is that about the time Helen started in the Legislature, I was a student at the University of Washington. Think about the numbers – 36 years of service, millions of our fellow Washingtonians have gone through higher education in this State. The greatest advocate higher education has had in this State has been Helen Sommers. I am a proud recipient of that great advocacy over the years having gone through the University of Washington myself. Thank you, Helen for all that great work. Millions owe you a debt of gratitude."
HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 4717 was adopted.
Representative Kessler thanked the Speaker for his leadership. She explained that members traditionally take a collection for a Speaker's gift but this year opted to give a special gift to the gentlelady from the 36th District.
Representative DeBolt thanked the Speaker on behalf of the minority caucus.
Mr. Speaker: "Thank you very much for your kind remarks, Richard and Lynn. I appreciate it.
There are a couple of people I would like to recognize in the Chief Clerk's Office. Let's really hear it for Barbara Baker and Bernard Dean who have done a great job for the entire House."
