      WHEREAS, Lincoln was a child of the frontier, a self-taught lawyer, and an Illinois legislator whose example of honesty, work, and discipline epitomize the American character; and

      WHEREAS, Lincoln found that the practice of slavery violated the equal rights of human beings, and sought through reasoned debate to persuade his fellow citizens of its injustice; and

      WHEREAS, In his First Inaugural Address, Lincoln called Americans back to their tradition of deliberation and discourse, instead of to war, saying, "My countrymen, one and all, think calmly and well upon this whole subject.  Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time"; and

      WHEREAS, Lincoln subsequently led the nation through Civil War, giving himself to the cause of national Union, and displaying throughout those terrible days the virtues of wisdom, courage, justice, and moderation; and

      WHEREAS, Lincoln proclaimed emancipation for slaves in the American South and maintained throughout his public service a steady defense of human equality; and

      WHEREAS, Lincoln looked forward from his Inauguration to a time when "the mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature";

      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State House of Representatives take inspiration from the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln, and that we seek in our own ways to be champions of liberty and equality.

"Sec. 1.  RCW 48.02.120 and 1985 c 264 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) The commissioner shall preserve in permanent form records of his or her proceedings, hearings, investigations, and examinations, and shall file such records in his or her office.

      (2) The records of the commissioner and insurance filings in his or her office shall be open to public inspection, except as otherwise provided by this code.

      (3) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, actuarial formulas, statistics, and assumptions submitted in support of a rate or form filing by an insurer, health care service contractor, or health maintenance organization or submitted to the commissioner upon his or her request shall be withheld from public inspection in order to preserve trade secrets or prevent unfair competition.

(4)(a) Except as provided in (b) of this subsection, for a rate filing for an individual or small group health benefit plan with an effective date on or after January 1, 2012, subsection (3) of this section applies only to the numeric values of each rating factor used by a health carrier.  The remainder of the rate filing shall be open to public inspection subject to subsection (5) of this section.
      (b) Subsection (3) of this section shall continue to apply for a period of one year from the date a new individual or small group product filing is submitted or until the next rate filing for the product, whichever occurs earlier, if the commissioner determines that the proposed rate filing is for a new product that is distinct and unique from any of the carrier's currently or previously offered health benefit plans.  A carrier must make a written request for a product classification as a new product under this subsection (4)(b) and must receive subsequent written approval by the commissioner for this subsection (4)(b) to apply.
      (5) Unless the commissioner has determined that a filing is for a new product pursuant to subsection (4) of this section, for individual or small group health benefit rate filings with an effective date on or after January 1, 2012, the commissioner shall:
      (a) Make the portions of each rate filing that are open to public inspection available for public inspection on the tenth calendar day after the commissioner determines that the rate filing is complete and accepts the filing for review through the electronic rate and form filing system;
      (b) Prepare a rate disclosure summary form in a standard format that is written in plain language easily understood by the general public.  The summary must allow carriers to explain the relationship between premium and health care cost drivers.  The summary must set forth, at a minimum, the following:  (i) The rate increase, year over year, for annual increases, including historic rate adjustments for at least the past three years; (ii) any percent increase to current rates attributed to mandated changes, not including changes due to demographics; (iii) the number of members impacted by the rate; (iv) the impact of benefit changes on the rate; (v) the products' filed health care trend; (vi) the projected medical loss ratio for the rating period; (vii) the top three drivers contributing to the change in premiums; and (viii) other information added to the summary form by rule that the commissioner, in consultation with carriers, finds reasonably necessary to help consumers understand the reasons for proposed and accepted rates.  A carrier shall complete the disclosure summary form and submit it electronically to the commissioner along with each individual or small group health benefit plan rate filing; and
      (c) Prepare a standardized rate summary form to explain his or her findings after the rate review process is completed.  The commissioner's summary form must be included as part of the rate filing documentation available to the public electronically.
      (6) The commissioner shall adopt rules to implement and administer this section.  The rules must include, but are not limited to, a process for updating the summary form content in subsection (5)(b) of this section.  In adopting rules under this section, the commissioner shall consult with carriers, as defined in RCW 48.43.005, and consumers in the development of the summary forms."

      (2) Nothing in this section may be interpreted to prohibit a health plan from administering a formulary or preferred drug list, requiring prior authorization, or imposing other appropriate utilization controls in approving coverage for any chemotherapy.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 4.  A new section is added to chapter 48.20 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) Each health plan issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2012, that provides coverage for cancer chemotherapy treatment must provide coverage for prescribed, self administered anticancer medication that is used to kill or slow the growth of cancerous cells on a basis at least comparable to cancer chemotherapy medications administered by a health care provider or facility as defined in RCW 48.43.005(15) and (16).

      (2) Nothing in this section may be interpreted to prohibit a health plan from administering a formulary or preferred drug list, requiring prior authorization, or imposing other appropriate utilization controls in approving coverage for any chemotherapy.

0) 

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  The legislature finds that the state loses over one hundred million dollars a year in taxes due to underground economy construction activity, causing great inequity to law-abiding businesses and taxpayers.  The legislature further finds that an employer in construction is required to pay industrial insurance and unemployment taxes for a worker unless a seven-part independent contractor test is met, which test includes that the worker is free from direction and control and has his or her own books and records.  The legislature finds that some contractors avoid taxes by engaging multiple contractors to work on the same task and treating the contractors as exempt independent contractors rather than hiring and paying taxes on these persons as covered workers.  The legislature finds, however, that if multiple contractors are working on the same task on a job site, the contractors must be working under direction and control such that they are not exempt independent contractors but are, in fact, covered workers.

      The legislature finds that the seven-part test is and should continue to be applied in investigations of underground economy activity in the construction industry.  However, the legislature also finds that prohibiting up front certain contracting which by its nature creates a situation in which taxes due are not paid will provide clarity to contractors and provide an additional cost-effective means to reduce the underground economy.  By enacting section 2 of this act, the legislature intends to define the prohibited contracting narrowly to assure no legitimate contracting is prohibited.  The legislature intends that nothing in section 2 of this act prohibits a contractor from engaging more than two independent contractors who have no covered workers to work on the same task so long as those contractors are treated as covered workers.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  A new section is added to chapter 18.27 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) It is a violation under this chapter and an infraction for any contractor to engage more than two independent contractors to work on or in a single building who:

      (a) Are working on the same task involving a similar material;

      (b) Bring no workers to work on or in the building subject to the mandatory coverage of Title 51 RCW; and

      (c) Are not being treated by the contractor as covered workers under Title 51 RCW.

      (2)(a) A contractor found to have committed an infraction under this section shall be assessed a fine of:

      (i) Five hundred dollars for a first offense. However, the director shall waive the fine if the contractor registers for a department-approved training class within ten days of receiving a notice of infraction, completes the class within one hundred twenty days of receiving the notice of infraction, and pays the class fees upon class registration;

      (ii) Two thousand five hundred dollars for a second offense; and

      (iii) Five thousand dollars for a third or subsequent offense.

      (b) For a third or subsequent offense under this section, the director shall also suspend the contractor's certificate of registration for one year.

      (c) In addition to any other penalty, the director shall suspend the registration of the contractor until payment of penalties assessed under this section that have become final are paid in full.

      (3) For purposes of this section, "task" means a single risk classification as defined in rule under Title 51 RCW.

      (4) Classes offered under subsection (2) of this section may be conducted or approved by the department. Registrants must pay a fee to cover the cost of administering the class.

      (5) This section does not apply to work performed on residential wood frame construction up to four stories in height.

      Sec. 3. 2009 c 432 s 13 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

      The department of labor and industries, the employment security department, and the department of revenue shall coordinate and report to the appropriate committees of the legislature by December 1st of each year on the effectiveness of efforts implemented since July 1, 2008, to address the underground economy. Beginning on December 1, 2012, the report shall include the effectiveness of section 2 of this act. The agencies shall use benchmarks and measures established by the institute for public policy and other measures it determines appropriate.

      Sec. 4. Section 3 of this act is codified as a new section in chapter 18.27 RCW."

Correct the title.

      (b) Prior to providing notice, the boundary of the area where the excavation will be performed must be indicated by the application of white paint on the ground at the excavation site, unless doing so is unfeasible, in which case the excavator must communicate directly with the affected facility operator or operators to ensure the area of excavation has been accurately identified.
      (c) If an excavator intends to perform work at multiple sites or the project is a large project, the excavator must take reasonable steps to work with facility operators so that facility operators can locate their facilities at a time reasonably in advance of the actual start of excavation for each phase of the work.

      (2) ((All owners of underground facilities within a one-number locator service area shall subscribe to the service.  One-number locator service rates for cable television companies will be based on the amount of their underground facilities.  If no one-number locator service is available, notice shall be provided individually to those owners of underground facilities known to or suspected of having underground facilities within the area of proposed excavation.  The notice shall be communicated to the owners of underground facilities not less than two business days or more than ten business days before the scheduled date for commencement of excavation, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
      (3) Upon receipt of the notice provided for in this section, the owner of the underground facility shall provide the excavator with reasonably accurate information as to its locatable underground facilities by surface-marking the location of the facilities.  If there are identified but unlocatable underground facilities, the owner of such facilities shall provide the excavator with the best available information as to their locations.  The owner of the underground facility providing the information shall respond no later than two business days after the receipt of the notice or before the excavation time, at the option of the owner, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.  Excavators shall not excavate until all known facilities have been marked.  Once marked by the owner of the underground facility, the excavator is responsible for maintaining the markings.  Excavators shall have the right to receive compensation from the owner of the underground facility for costs incurred if the owner of the underground facility does not locate its facilities in accordance with this section.
      (4) The owner of the underground facility shall have the right to receive compensation for costs incurred in responding to excavation notices given less than two business days prior to the excavation from the excavator.
      (5) An owner of underground facilities is not required to indicate the presence of existing service laterals or appurtenances if the presence of existing service laterals or appurtenances on the site of the construction project can be determined from the presence of other visible facilities, such as buildings, manholes, or meter and junction boxes on or adjacent to the construction site.
      (6) Emergency excavations are exempt from the time requirements for notification provided in this section.
      (7) If the excavator, while performing the contract, discovers underground facilities which are not identified, the excavator shall cease excavating in the vicinity of the facility and immediately notify the owner or operator of such facilities, or the one-number locator service.)) Upon receipt of the notice provided for in this section, the facility operator shall provide the excavator with reasonably accurate information as to its locatable underground facilities by marking the location of the facilities.  If there are identified but unlocatable underground facilities, the facility operator responsible for the facilities must provide the excavator with the best available information as to the location of the underground facilities.  The facility operator providing the information must respond no later than two business days after the receipt of the notice or before the excavation time, at the option of the facility operator, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.  Excavators shall not excavate until all known facilities have been marked.  Once marked by the facility operator, the excavator is responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the original markings for the lesser of forty-five calendar days from the date notice was provided to the one-number locator service or the life of the project.  Markings expire forty-five calendar days from the date notice was provided to the one-number locator service.  For excavation occurring more than forty-five calendar days from the date notice was provided to the one-number locator service, a second notice must be provided in accordance with the provisions of subsection (1) of this section.  Excavators that make repeated calls for relocates because of their failure to maintain the marks may be charged for services provided.  Excavators are entitled to recover compensation from the facility operator for costs incurred if the facility operator does not locate its facilities in accordance with this section.
      (3) The facility operator is entitled to recover compensation from the excavator for costs incurred in responding to excavation notices given less than two business days prior to the excavation.
      (4) To assist in designating service, water, or sewer laterals, the facility operator or sewer system owner or operator shall designate a proposed excavation location by:
      (a) Marking the location of service, water, or sewer laterals in accordance with the procedures in subsection (2) of this section; or
      (b) If a service, water, or sewer lateral is unlocatable, marking within the proposed excavation area that there is an unlocatable service, water, or sewer lateral.
      (5) Facility operators, water, and sewer system owners or operators must indicate the presence of service or sewer laterals only to the extent that they exist within a right-of-way or easement.  This assistance does not constitute ownership or operation of service laterals or sewer laterals by the facility operator or sewer system owner or operator.  Service or sewer laterals existing on private property are the responsibility of the property owner.  Nothing in this section may be interpreted to require property owners to subscribe to the one-number locator service or to locate service laterals within a right-of-way or easement.  Good faith compliance with the provisions of this subsection in response to a locate request constitutes full compliance with this chapter, and no person may be found liable to any party for damages or injuries as a result of performing in compliance with the requirements of this subsection.
      (6) Emergency excavations are exempt from the time requirements for notification provided in this section.  For emergency bar holing twelve or more inches in depth, reasonable measures must be taken to eliminate electrical arc hazards.
      (7) If the excavator discovers underground facilities that are not identified in plans or contract documents, the excavator shall cease excavating in the vicinity of the facility and immediately notify the facility operator or the one-number locator service.  If the excavator uncovers identified but unlocatable underground facilities, the excavator shall notify the facility operator and the facility operator must take action under subsection (8) of this section.
      (8) Upon notification by an excavator or the one-number locator service in accordance with subsection (7) of this section, a facility operator must take action to allow for the accurate future location of the uncovered portion of the underground facility identified by the excavator.  A facility operator may accept facility location information from the excavator for the future marking of an underground facility.

      (a) Notify the transmission pipeline company of the proposed construction activity before such a permit is approved; or
      (b) Require consultation between the person proposing the construction activity and the transmission pipeline company as a condition of receiving the permit.

Sec. 6.  RCW 19.122.035 and 2000 c 191 s 19 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) After a pipeline company has been notified by an excavator pursuant to RCW 19.122.033 that excavation work will uncover any portion of the pipeline, the pipeline company shall ensure that the pipeline section in the vicinity of the excavation is examined for damage prior to being reburied.

      (2) Immediately upon receiving information of third-party damage to a hazardous liquid pipeline, the company that operates the pipeline shall terminate the flow of hazardous liquid in that pipeline until it has visually inspected the pipeline.  After visual inspection, the ((operator of the hazardous liquid)) pipeline company shall determine whether the damaged pipeline section should be replaced or repaired, or whether it is safe to resume pipeline operation.  Immediately upon receiving information of third-party damage to a gas pipeline, the ((company that operates the)) pipeline company shall conduct a visual inspection of the pipeline to determine whether the flow of gas through that pipeline should be terminated, and whether the damaged pipeline should be replaced or repaired.  A record of the pipeline company's inspection report and test results shall be provided to the utilities and transportation commission consistent with reporting requirements under 49 C.F.R. 195 Subpart B.

      (3) Pipeline companies shall immediately notify local first responders and the department of any reportable release of a hazardous liquid from a pipeline.  Pipeline companies shall immediately notify local first responders and the commission of any blowing gas leak from a gas pipeline that has ignited or represents a probable hazard to persons or property.  Pipeline companies shall take all appropriate steps to ensure the public safety in the event of a release of hazardous liquid or gas under this subsection.

      (4) No damaged pipeline may be buried until it is repaired or relocated.  The pipeline company shall arrange for repairs or relocation of a damaged pipeline as soon as is practical or may permit the excavator to do necessary repairs or relocation at a mutually acceptable price.

      (1)(a) Each comprehensive land use plan and development regulations shall be subject to continuing review and evaluation by the county or city that adopted them.  Except as otherwise provided, a county or city shall take legislative action to review and, if needed, revise its comprehensive land use plan and development regulations to ensure the plan and regulations comply with the requirements of this chapter according to the deadlines in subsections (4) and (5) of this section.

      (b) Except as otherwise provided, a county or city not planning under RCW 36.70A.040 shall take action to review and, if needed, revise its policies and development regulations regarding critical areas and natural resource lands adopted according to this chapter to ensure these policies and regulations comply with the requirements of this chapter according to the deadlines in subsections (4) and (5) of this section.  Legislative action means the adoption of a resolution or ordinance following notice and a public hearing indicating at a minimum, a finding that a review and evaluation has occurred and identifying the revisions made, or that a revision was not needed and the reasons therefor.

      (c) ((The review and evaluation required by this subsection may be combined with the review required by subsection (3) of this section.))  The review and evaluation required by this subsection shall include, but is not limited to, consideration of critical area ordinances and, if planning under RCW 36.70A.040, an analysis of the population allocated to a city or county from the most recent ten-year population forecast by the office of financial management.

      (d) Any amendment of or revision to a comprehensive land use plan shall conform to this chapter.  Any amendment of or revision to development regulations shall be consistent with and implement the comprehensive plan.

      (2)(a) Each county and city shall establish and broadly disseminate to the public a public participation program consistent with RCW 36.70A.035 and 36.70A.140 that identifies procedures and schedules whereby updates, proposed amendments, or revisions of the comprehensive plan are considered by the governing body of the county or city no more frequently than once every year.  "Updates" means to review and revise, if needed, according to subsection (1) of this section, and the deadlines in subsections (4) and (5) of this section or in accordance with the provisions of subsection (6) of this section.  Amendments may be considered more frequently than once per year under the following circumstances:

      (i) The initial adoption of a subarea plan.  Subarea plans adopted under this subsection (2)(a)(i) must clarify, supplement, or implement jurisdiction-wide comprehensive plan policies, and may only be adopted if the cumulative impacts of the proposed plan are addressed by appropriate environmental review under chapter 43.21C RCW;

      (ii) The development of an initial subarea plan for economic development located outside of the one hundred year floodplain in a county that has completed a state-funded pilot project that is based on watershed characterization and local habitat assessment;

      (iii) The adoption or amendment of a shoreline master program under the procedures set forth in chapter 90.58 RCW;

      (iv) The amendment of the capital facilities element of a comprehensive plan that occurs concurrently with the adoption or amendment of a county or city budget; or

      (v) The adoption of comprehensive plan amendments necessary to enact a planned action under RCW 43.21C.031(2), provided that amendments are considered in accordance with the public participation program established by the county or city under this subsection (2)(a) and all persons who have requested notice of a comprehensive plan update are given notice of the amendments and an opportunity to comment.

      (b) Except as otherwise provided in (a) of this subsection, all proposals shall be considered by the governing body concurrently so the cumulative effect of the various proposals can be ascertained.  However, after appropriate public participation a county or city may adopt amendments or revisions to its comprehensive plan that conform with this chapter whenever an emergency exists or to resolve an appeal of a comprehensive plan filed with the growth management hearings board or with the court.

      (3)(a) Each county that designates urban growth areas under RCW 36.70A.110 shall review, ((at least every ten years)) according to the schedules established in subsection (5) of this section, its designated urban growth area or areas, and the densities permitted within both the incorporated and unincorporated portions of each urban growth area.  In conjunction with this review by the county, each city located within an urban growth area shall review the densities permitted within its boundaries, and the extent to which the urban growth occurring within the county has located within each city and the unincorporated portions of the urban growth areas.

      (b) The county comprehensive plan designating urban growth areas, and the densities permitted in the urban growth areas by the comprehensive plans of the county and each city located within the urban growth areas, shall be revised to accommodate the urban growth projected to occur in the county for the succeeding twenty-year period.  The review required by this subsection may be combined with the review and evaluation required by RCW 36.70A.215.

      (4) Except as provided in subsection (6) of this section, counties and cities shall take action to review and, if needed, revise their comprehensive plans and development regulations to ensure the plan and regulations comply with the requirements of this chapter as follows:

      (6)(a) Nothing in this section precludes a county or city from conducting the review and evaluation required by this section before the deadlines established in subsections (4) and (5) of this section.  Counties and cities may begin this process early and may be eligible for grants from the department, subject to available funding, if they elect to do so.

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  A new section is added to chapter 28B.30 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) The legislature finds that access to baccalaureate and graduate degree programs continues to be limited for residents of north Snohomish, Island, and Skagit counties.  Studies conducted by the state board for community and technical colleges, the higher education coordinating board, and the council of presidents confirm that enrollment in higher education compared to demand in this geographic region lags behind enrollment in other parts of the state, particularly for upper-division courses leading to advanced degrees.

      (2) The legislature also finds that access to high employer demand programs of study is imperative for the state's global competitiveness and economic prosperity, particularly those degrees in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields that align with the workforce skill demands of the regional economy, that support the aerospace industry, and provide skilled undergraduate and graduate-degree engineers required by the largest employers in the aerospace industry cluster.

      (3) The legislature finds that meeting the long-range goal of greatly expanded access for the population of the region to the widest array of baccalaureate and graduate programs can best be accomplished by assigning responsibility to a research university with multiple experiences in similar settings.

      (4) Management and leadership of the University Center of North Puget Sound is assigned to Washington State University to meet the needs of the Everett metropolitan area and the north Snohomish, Island, and Skagit county region and the state of Washington for baccalaureate and graduate degrees offered by a state university.  The chief executive officer of the University Center of North Puget Sound is the director who reports to the president of Washington State University.  The director shall manage the activities and logistics of operating the center, make policy and planning recommendations to the council in subsection (5) of this section, and implement decisions of the council.

      (5)(a) Washington State University and Everett Community College must collaborate with community leaders, and other four-year institutions of higher education that offer programs at the University Center of North Puget Sound to serve the varied interests of students in the region.  To this end, a coordinating and planning council must be established to be responsible for long-range and strategic planning, interinstitutional collaboration, collaboration with the community served, and dispute resolution for the center.  The following individuals shall comprise the coordinating and planning council:

      (i) The president of Washington State University, or his or her designee;

      (ii) The provost of Washington State University, or his or her designee;

      (iii) The president of Everett Community College;

      (iv) A representative of one other institution of higher education that offers baccalaureate or graduate degree programs at the center;

      (v) The director of the council, as the nonvoting chair;

      (vi) A community leader appointed by the president of Everett Community College;

      (vii) A community leader appointed by the president of Washington State University; and

      (viii) A community leader appointed by the mayor of Everett.

      (b) The coordinating and planning council may appoint other groups, as appropriate, to advise on administration and operations, and may alter its own composition by agreement of all the members.

      (6)(a) Washington State University shall assume leadership of the center upon completion of a strategic plan for meeting the academic needs of the region and successful establishment of an engineering degree program.  The strategic plan must build on the strengths of the institutions, reflecting each institution's mission, in order to provide the region with the highest standard of educational programs, research, and service to the community.  The strategic plan must include a multibiennium budget that addresses both operating and capital expenses required to effectively implement the plan.  The strategic plan shall be developed with the collaboration of the University Center at Everett Community College and all the institutions of higher education that provide baccalaureate degrees at the University Center, and community leaders.

      (b) Center partners must implement the strategic plan with careful attention to the academic and professional standards established and maintained by each institution and by the appropriate accrediting bodies, and to the historic role of each institution's governing board in setting policy.

      (c) The strategic plan must address expansion of the range and depth of educational opportunities in the region and include strategies that:

      (i) Build upon baccalaureate and graduate degree offerings at the center;

      (ii) Meet projected student enrollment demands for baccalaureate, graduate, and certificate programs in the region;

      (iii) Meet employers' needs for skilled workers by expanding high employer demand programs of study, with an initial emphasis by Washington State University on undergraduate and graduate engineering degree programs in a variety of engineering disciplines such as civil, mechanical, aeronautical, and aerospace manufacturing;

      (iv) Coordinate delivery of lower and upper division courses to maximize student opportunities and resources; and

      (v) Transfer budget support and resources for the center from Everett Community College to Washington State University.

      (d)  The strategic plan must be completed by July 1, 2013.  The transfer of the responsibility for the management and operation of the University Center of North Puget Sound to Washington State University must occur by July 1, 2014.

      (7)(a) Academic programming and delivery at the center must be developed in accordance with the missions of Washington State University, Everett Community College, and other institutions of higher education that have a presence at the center.

      (b) Each institution shall abide by the guidelines for university centers adopted by the higher education coordinating board.

      (c) Each institution shall award all degrees and certificates granted in the programs it delivers at the center.

      (d) The coordinating council described in subsection (5) of this section shall establish a process for prioritizing new programs and revising existing programs that facilitates timeliness of new offerings, recognizes the internal processes of the proposing institutions, and addresses each proposal's fit with the needs of the region.

      (8)(a) Washington State University shall review center expansion needs and consider capital facilities funding at least annually.  Washington State University and Everett Community College must cooperate in preparing funding requests and bond financing for submission to the legislature on behalf of development at the center, in accordance with each institution's process and priorities for advancing legislative requests.

      (b) Washington State University shall design, construct, and manage any facility developed at the center.  Any facility developed at the center with Everett Community College capital funding must be designed by Everett Community College in consultation with Washington State University.  Building construction may be managed by Washington State University via an interagency agreement which details responsibility and associated costs.  Building operations and management for all facilities at the center must be governed by the infrastructure and operating cost allocation method described in subsection (9) of this section.

      (9) Washington State University has responsibility for infrastructure development and maintenance for the center.  All infrastructure operating and maintenance costs are to be shared in what is deemed to be an equitable and fair manner based on space allocation, special cost, and other relevant considerations.  Washington State University may make infrastructure development and maintenance decisions in consultation with the council described in subsection (5) of this section.

      (10) In the event that conflict cannot be resolved through the coordinating council described in subsection (5) of this section the higher education coordinating board dispute resolution must be employed.

Sec. 2.  RCW 28B.50.795 and 2010 1st sp.s. c 25 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) ((RCW 28B.50.901 assigns responsibility for the north Snohomish, Island, and Skagit counties' higher education consortium to Everett Community College.  In April of 2009, Everett Community College opened Gray Wolf Hall, the new home of the University Center of North Puget Sound.  The University Center currently offers over twenty bachelor's and master's degrees from six partner universities.
      (2))) Although Everett Community College offers an associate degree nursing program that graduates approximately seventy to ninety students per year, the University Center does not offer a bachelor of science in nursing.  Some graduates of the Everett Community College program are able to articulate to the bachelor of science in nursing program offered by the University of Washington-Bothell at its Bothell campus or in Mt. Vernon but current capacity is not sufficient for all of the graduates who are both interested and qualified.

      (((3))) (2) Despite recent growth in nursing education capacity, shortages still persist for registered nurses.  According to a June 2007 study by the Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho center for health workforce studies, the average age of Washington's registered nurses was forty-eight years.  More than a third were fifty- five years of age or older.  Consequently, the high rate of registered nurses retiring from nursing practice over the next two decades will significantly reduce the supply.  This reduction comes at the same time as the state's population grows and ages.  The registered nurse education capacity in Washington has a large impact on the supply of registered nurses in the state.  If the rate of graduation in registered nursing does not increase, projections show that supply in Washington will begin to decline by 2015.  In contrast, if graduation rates increased by four hundred per year, the supply of registered nurses would meet estimated demand by the year 2021.

      (((4))) (3) Subject to specific funding to support up to fifty full-time equivalent students in a bachelor of nursing program, the University Center ((at Everett Community College)) of North Puget Sound, in partnership with the University of Washington-Bothell, shall offer a bachelor of science in nursing program with capacity for up to fifty full-time students.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3.  (1) This act takes effect only after the higher education coordinating board determines whether a needs assessment and analysis is required and, if so, conducts a needs assessment and viability determination under RCW 28B.76.230 and recommends that the provisions in section 1 of this act occur.

      (2) The higher education coordinating board shall notify the office of financial management, the legislature, and the code reviser's office of the board's recommendations regarding the provisions in section 1 of this act.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 4.  RCW 28B.50.901 (Regional higher education consortium management and leadership--Everett Community College-- Educational plan) and 2005 c 258 s 13 are each repealed."

"Sec. 1.  RCW 82.02.050 and 1994 c 257 s 24 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) It is the intent of the legislature:

      (a) To ensure that adequate facilities are available to serve new growth and development;

      (b) To promote orderly growth and development by establishing standards by which counties, cities, and towns may require, by ordinance, that new growth and development pay a proportionate share of the cost of new facilities needed to serve new growth and development; and

      (c) To ensure that impact fees are imposed through established procedures and criteria so that specific developments do not pay arbitrary fees or duplicative fees for the same impact.

      (2) Counties, cities, and towns that are required or choose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 are authorized to impose impact fees on development activity as part of the financing for public facilities, provided that the financing for system improvements to serve new development must provide for a balance between impact fees and other sources of public funds and cannot rely solely on impact fees.

      (3)(a) Counties, cities, and towns collecting impact fees must adopt a permanent system for the collection of impact fees from applicants for residential building permits issued for a lot or unit created by a subdivision, short subdivision, site development permit, binding site plan, or condominium that includes one or more of the following:
      (i)(A) A process by which an applicant for any development permit that requires payment of an impact fee may record a covenant against title to the lot or unit subject to the impact fee obligation.  A covenant under this subsection (3)(a)(i) must also serve as a lien.  The covenant must require payment equal to one hundred percent of the impact fee applicable to the lot or unit at the rates in effect at the time the building permit was issued, less a credit for any deposits paid.
      (B) Covenants recorded in accordance with this subsection (3)(a)(i) must provide for payment of the impact fee through escrow at the earlier of the following:  The time of closing of sale of the applicable lot or unit; or in accordance with the applicable county, city, or town ordinance, eighteen or more months after the building permit is issued.  Payment of impact fees due at closing of a sale must, unless an agreement to the contrary is reached between buyer and seller, be made from the seller's proceeds.  In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the seller bears strict liability for the payment of the impact fees.
      (C) Either a seller or a seller's agent, or both, of property subject to a deferral covenant authorized under this subsection (3)(a)(i) must provide written disclosure of the covenant to a purchaser or prospective purchaser.  Disclosure of the covenant must include the amount of impact fees payable and the entities to which fees are to be paid at closing.
      (D) Upon receiving payment of impact fees due, the applicable county, city, or town must remove the covenant recorded in accordance with this subsection (3)(a)(i); or
      (ii) A process by which an applicant may apply for a deferral of the impact fee payment until final inspection or certificate of occupancy, or equivalent certification.
      (b) Counties, cities, and towns may adopt local systems for the collection of impact fees that differ from the requirements of this subsection (3) if the payment timing provisions are consistent with those of this subsection.
      (4) The impact fees:

      (a) Shall only be imposed for system improvements that are reasonably related to the new development;

      (b) Shall not exceed a proportionate share of the costs of system improvements that are reasonably related to the new development; and

      (c) Shall be used for system improvements that will reasonably benefit the new development.

      (((4))) (5)(a) Impact fees may be collected and spent only for the public facilities defined in RCW 82.02.090 which are addressed by a capital facilities plan element of a comprehensive land use plan adopted pursuant to the provisions of RCW 36.70A.070 or the provisions for comprehensive plan adoption contained in chapter 36.70, 35.63, or 35A.63 RCW.  After the date a county, city, or town is required to adopt its development regulations under chapter 36.70A RCW, continued authorization to collect and expend impact fees ((shall be)) is contingent on the county, city, or town adopting or revising a comprehensive plan in compliance with RCW 36.70A.070, and on the capital facilities plan identifying:

      (((a))) (i) Deficiencies in public facilities serving existing development and the means by which existing deficiencies will be eliminated within a reasonable period of time;

      (((b))) (ii) Additional demands placed on existing public facilities by new development; and

      (((c))) (iii) Additional public facility improvements required to serve new development.

(b) If the capital facilities plan of the county, city, or town is complete other than for the inclusion of those elements which are the responsibility of a special district, the county, city, or town may impose impact fees to address those public facility needs for which the county, city, or town is responsible.
