0) 

                Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  (1) The legislature finds that since the 1980s, about seventeen percent of Washington's commercial forests have been converted to other land uses.

      (2) The legislature further finds that as these forests vanish, so do the multiple benefits they provide to our communities such as local timber jobs, clean air and water, carbon storage, fish and wildlife habitat, recreation areas, and open space.

      (3) The legislature further finds that it has provided policy direction to the department of natural resources to protect working forest and natural resource lands at risk of conversion, while maintaining the department's obligation to manage the state's fiduciary trust lands and financial assets in the interest of the beneficiaries of the respective trust lands and assets.

      (4) The legislature further finds that there are numerous tools available to acquire open space and recreation lands, but limited tools to protect working forest lands.

      (5) The legislature further finds that currently the department of natural resources lacks a full complement of policy and management tools necessary to protect or manage working forest lands at high risk of conversion.

      (6) The legislature further finds that through modest enhancements to existing department of natural resources' programs and authorities, the legislature can expand Washington's ability to protect communities' working forest lands, while simultaneously improving the revenue generating performance of fiduciary trust lands managed by the department of natural resources.

      (7) The legislature further finds that there has been past and present legislative intent to ensure continued public access for recreation compatible with the purposes of the lands involved.

      (8) The legislature further finds that there exists an interest by local communities, governments, and conservation organizations in cooperating in the establishment of working community forests.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  (1) If deemed practicable by the commissioner, the department is authorized to create and manage, consistent with the provisions of this chapter, a discrete category of natural resource lands in a nonfiduciary community forest land trust.  The department is authorized to assemble, hold title to, and manage directly or through mutual agreement with other landowners land suitable for sustainable forest management, to be held in the community forest trust.

      (2) All land held in the community forest trust must be held by the department and actively managed, consistent with a community working forest management plan developed under section 8 of this act, to generate financial support for the management of the community forest trust and to advance and sustain the working forest conservation objectives established in the management plan.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3.  (1) The department must identify lands for inclusion into the community forest trust, and manage the resulting community forest trust lands, in furtherance of goals that must be identified by the department prior to the creation of a community forest.

      (2) In addition to any goals for a community forest identified by the department, the community forest trust program must satisfy the following minimum program management principles:

      (a) Protecting in perpetuity working forest lands that are at a significant risk of conversion to another land use;

      (b) Securing financial and social viability through sound management plans and objectives that are consistent with the values of the local community;

      (c) Maintaining the land in a working status, through traditional forestry, management of specialized forest products harvest consistent with chapter 76.48 RCW, land leases, renewable energy opportunities, ecosystem services such as clean water protection or carbon storage, and other sources of revenue appropriate for the community forest to generate;

      (3) All acquisitions of real property for the community forest trust must be approved by the board.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 5.  (1) The department shall, if it establishes a community forest trust program, develop criteria to be used for the identification and prioritization of forest land that is suitable for potential inclusion in the community forest trust due to its ability to most closely satisfy the goals of the community forest trust outlined in section 3 of this act.

      (2) In prioritizing forest land for inclusion in the community forest trust, the department shall give priority consideration to lands that are:

      (a) The subject of established management and revenue production objectives of potential local community partners;

      (b) At greatest risk of conversion;

      (c) Helping buffer commercial public or private forest lands from encroaching development;

      (d) Helping to block up other community forest assets to be managed consistently with the community forest trust acquisition;

      (e) Able to be managed, considering surrounding current or expected future land use, as economically sustainable working forest land either alone or in combination with adjacent and nearby working forest land, including other lands incorporated into a community forest by the department, a local governmental entity, or a not-for-profit conservation organization managing forest lands;

      (k) Enhancing state fiduciary trust land revenues by repositioning underperforming state trust lands to provide short and long-term revenues to that trust.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 6.  (1) The department shall, if it establishes a community forest trust program, submit biennially to the office of financial management and the appropriate committees of the legislature a prioritized list that identifies nominated parcels of state land or state forest land that are suitable for transfer into the community forest trust, where such a transfer is also in the best interest of the respective trust.  The department shall solicit and consider input from the board on a draft list before submitting a final prioritized list.

      (2) The list of nominated parcels must reflect consideration of local nominations and the priorities outlined in section 5 of this act and be delivered to the required recipients by November 1st of each even-numbered year.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 7.  (1) The department must, prior to using the authority provided in section 4 of this act to acquire land for inclusion in a community forest, obtain from the local community a commitment to preserving the land as a working forest.

      (2) Following initial agreement between potential local community partners and the department regarding management and revenue production objectives for the lands in question, the local commitment to preserving the land as a working forest must be demonstrated by the county, city, or other local entity providing a financial contribution to the specific community forest of at least fifty percent of the difference between the parcel's appraised fair market value and the parcel's timber and forest land value.  The local community contribution may be provided through any means deemed acceptable by the department and the local contributor, including:

      (a) Traditional financing or bonding;

      (b) The purchase of conservation easements; or

      (c) The purchase or transfer of development rights.

      (3) The local financial contribution must be deposited into the park land trust revolving fund created in RCW 43.30.385 and used solely for acquisition of the community forest trust land parcel or parcels for which it is intended.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 8.  (1) All lands transferred into community forest trust status must be managed in accordance with a postacquisition management plan developed by the department consistent with this section.

      (2) After exercising the authority provided in section 4 of this act to acquire land for inclusion in a community forest, the department must establish a local advisory committee in cooperation with any interested and affected local government.

      (3) The department must use the local advisory committee as a source of advice and comment on a postacquisition management plan.  Comments and advice should, at a minimum, include plans for how the department will maintain the land's working status and economic viability objectives through revenue-generating activities that are sufficient to generate ongoing revenue at a level that reimburses administrative costs, while satisfying, or contributing to, identified community conservation and recreation objectives.

      (4)(a) If, after a good faith effort by all parties, the department and the local advisory committee fail to reach a consensus on a conceptual postacquisition management plan for the parcel in question, the department may either adopt a management plan informed by the community or recommend to the board that the parcel be divested through the existing authority of the department and the board.  If the parcel is divested, then, except as otherwise provided in this subsection, proceeds must return to the park land trust revolving fund created in RCW 43.30.385.

      (b) Prior to depositing the proceeds of a land divestiture under this subsection to the park land trust revolving fund, the department must first reimburse local entities that have made financial contributions to the parcel's acquisition as provided in section 7(2) of this act.  However, local entities are only eligible for reimbursement upon divestiture under this subsection if the board determines that:

      (i) The subsequent parcel use is likely to remain a working forest, the department secures full fair market value for the parcel, and the local entity's contribution was not provided by a state or federal grant; or

      (ii) The funds used as part of the local contribution were originally provided through a grant that requires, as a condition of the grant, the repayment of granted dollars if the purposes of the grant are not or cannot be fulfilled and the decision to divest the land creates an inability for the purposes of the grant to be fulfilled.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 9.  (1) Any revenue produced on community forest trust lands must be, consistent with RCW 79.64.040, allocated as follows:

      (a) All costs incurred by the department in managing the parcel must be fully reimbursed; and

      (b) After the department's management costs are reimbursed, any remaining revenue must then be prioritized to fulfill the management objectives for the specific parcel as identified in the postacquisition management plan developed under section 8 of this act consistent with the management principles outlined in section 3 of this act.

      (2)(a) If, by the determination of the board, there is revenue remaining in any given biennium after fulfilling the requirements of subsection (1) of this section, then the board has the discretion to reimburse any local entities' eligible financial contributions for acquisition of the parcel under section 7(2) of this act and any state contribution to the acquisition of the parcel up to an amount that represents fifty percent of the difference between the parcel's original appraised fair market value and the parcel's timber and forest land value.  However, any funds used as part of the local contribution may not be reimbursed if the funds were originally provided through a state or federal grant, provided through a fully compensated transfer of development rights at fair market value, or provided by a donation of funds or property.

      (b) If the board decides to reimburse the state and local contribution, then it must allocate the reimbursement so that fifty percent is provided to the state general fund and fifty percent is provided to any eligible partnering local entities.

      (c) Nothing in this section creates an expectation, requirement, or fiduciary duty for the board or the associated community forest trust lands to generate revenue in excess of amounts as provided in subsection (1)(a) of this section.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 10.  By September 1, 2014, and periodically, but at least once every ten years thereafter, the department shall provide to the board a review and update of the community forest trust program.  The review must include updates on the performance of the community forest trust statewide and notification of any community forest trust parcels not performing according to their management plan.  The department is authorized to, consistent with this chapter, recommend to the board action to divest itself of nonperforming community forest trust parcels using existing policies and mechanisms available to the department and the board.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 11.  (1) The commissioner may establish and maintain a statewide advisory committee to assist the department in the implementation of this chapter.

      (2) If a statewide advisory committee is established, the commissioner shall appoint a balanced representation of interests on the committee, including representatives of state fiduciary trust land beneficiaries, tribal governments, local governments, relevant state agencies, commercial forest landowners, land trusts, and conservation organizations.

      (3) The statewide advisory committee shall provide consultation on issues and questions presented by the commissioner and may be dissolved by the commissioner at any time.

      (4) Participation on the statewide advisory committee is voluntary and members are not eligible for any form of compensation nor for reimbursement for expenses incurred due to service on the committee.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 12.  (1) The commissioner may, if deemed practicable and beneficial by the commissioner, cooperate with interested local governments in establishing community forest districts or local working forest districts that are compatible with the goals identified in this chapter for the community forest trust.  Cooperative districts would attempt to voluntarily synchronize the management of community forest trust lands, other public lands, and private lands located within a certain geographic area to further a common set of community goals.  If a working forest district encompasses state lands or state forest lands, then their voluntary management to further a common set of community goals must be consistent with the department's fiduciary and other legal obligations to the trust, including the multiple use act in chapter 79.10 RCW.

      (2)(a) The department may, in its sole discretion and if it deems sufficient funding to be available, provide technical assistance grants to local communities for the purpose of enabling or furthering the development of community forest management plans consistent with this chapter.

      (b) This subsection does not create a private right of action.

(4) In order to maintain an effective expenditure and revenue control, the park land trust revolving fund is subject in all respects to chapter 43.88 RCW, but no appropriation is required to permit expenditures and payment of obligations from the fund.

      (((2))) (5) The department is authorized to solicit and receive voluntary contributions for the purpose of operating and maintaining public use and recreation facilities, including trails, managed by the department.  The department may seek voluntary contributions from individuals and organizations for this purpose.  Voluntary contributions will be deposited into the park land trust revolving fund and used solely for the purpose of public use and recreation facilities operations and maintenance.  Voluntary contributions are not considered a fee for use of these facilities.

Sec. 15.  RCW 79.64.020 and 2008 c 328 s 6004 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, community forest trust 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, chapter 328, Laws of 2008.))

Sec. 16.  RCW 79.64.040 and 2009 c 564 s 957 are each amended to read as follows:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  It is the intent of the legislature to utilize the infrastructure and resources of the commercial driver training schools and the school districts' traffic safety education programs by authorizing these entities to provide driver licensing examinations.  The legislature intends for the department of licensing to authorize the administration of driver licensing examinations by these entities in order to maintain and reprioritize its staff for the purpose of reducing the wait times at its driver licensing offices.

      Further, the legislature recognizes the growing importance of the work performed by department of licensing driver licensing services employees, who play an increasingly vital role in our security by ensuring that applicants are properly issued identification.

Sec. 2.  RCW 28A.220.030 and 2000 c 115 s 9 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) The superintendent of public instruction is authorized to establish a section of traffic safety education, and through such section shall:  Define a "realistic level of effort" required to provide an effective traffic safety education course, establish a level of driving competency required of each student to successfully complete the course, and ensure that an effective statewide program is implemented and sustained, administer, supervise, and develop the traffic safety education program and shall assist local school districts in the conduct of their traffic safety education programs.  The superintendent shall adopt necessary rules and regulations governing the operation and scope of the traffic safety education program; and each school district shall submit a report to the superintendent on the condition of its traffic safety education program:  PROVIDED, That the superintendent shall monitor the quality of the program and carry out the purposes of this chapter.

      (2) The board of directors of any school district maintaining a secondary school which includes any of the grades 10 to 12, inclusive, may establish and maintain a traffic safety education course.  If a school district elects to offer a traffic safety education course and has within its boundaries a private accredited secondary school which includes any of the grades 10 to 12, inclusive, at least one class in traffic safety education shall be given at times other than regular school hours if there is sufficient demand therefor.

      (3) The board of directors of a school district, or combination of school districts, may contract with any drivers' school licensed under the provisions of chapter 46.82 RCW to teach the laboratory phase of the traffic safety education course.  Instructors provided by any such contracting drivers' school must be properly qualified teachers of traffic safety education under the joint qualification requirements adopted by the superintendent of public instruction and the director of licensing.

      (4) The superintendent shall establish a required minimum number of hours of continuing traffic safety education for traffic safety education instructors.  The superintendent may phase in the requirement over not more than five years.

(5) School districts that offer a traffic safety education program under this chapter may administer the portions of the driver licensing examination that test the applicant's knowledge of traffic laws and ability to safely operate a motor vehicle as authorized under RCW 46.20.120(7).  The superintendent shall work with the department of licensing, in consultation with school districts that offer a traffic safety education program, to develop standards and requirements for administering each portion of the driver licensing examination that are comparable to the standards and requirements for driver training schools under section 11 of this act.
      (6) Before a school district may provide a portion of the driver licensing examination, the school district must, after consultation with the superintendent, enter into an agreement with the department of licensing that, at a minimum, contains provisions that:
      (a) Allow the department of licensing to conduct random examinations, inspections, and audits without prior notice;
      (b) Allow the department of licensing to conduct on-site inspections at least annually;
      (c) Allow the department of licensing to test, at least annually, a random sample of the drivers approved by the school district for licensure and to cancel any driver's license that may have been issued to any driver selected for testing who refuses to be tested; and
      (d) Reserve to the department of licensing the right to take prompt and appropriate action against a school district that fails to comply with state or federal standards for a driver licensing examination or to comply with any terms of the agreement.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3.  A new section is added to chapter 46.01 RCW to read as follows:

      A civil suit or action may not be commenced or prosecuted against the director, the state of Washington, any driver training school licensed by the department, any other government officer or entity, including a school district or an employee of a school district, or against any other person, by reason of any act done or omitted to be done in connection with administering the portions of the driver licensing examination that test the applicant's knowledge of traffic laws and ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.  This section does not bar the state of Washington or the director from bringing any action, whether civil or criminal, against any driver training school licensed by the department.

Sec. 4.  RCW 46.20.049 and 2005 c 314 s 309 are each amended to read as follows:

      There shall be an additional fee for issuing any class of commercial driver's license in addition to the prescribed fee required for the issuance of the original driver's license.  The additional fee for each class shall be ((thirty)) thirty-six dollars for the original commercial driver's license or subsequent renewals.  If the commercial driver's license is renewed or extended for a period other than ((five)) six years, the fee for each class shall be six dollars for each year that the commercial driver's license is renewed or extended.  The fee shall be deposited in the highway safety fund.

Sec. 5.  RCW 46.20.117 and 2005 c 314 s 305 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) Issuance.  The department shall issue an identicard, containing a picture, if the applicant:

      (a) Does not hold a valid Washington driver's license;

      (b) Proves his or her identity as required by RCW 46.20.035; and

      (c) Pays the required fee.  The fee is ((twenty)) twenty-four dollars unless an applicant is a recipient of continuing public assistance grants under Title 74 RCW, who is referred in writing by the secretary of social and health services.  For those persons the fee must be the actual cost of production of the identicard.

      (2) Design and term.  The identicard must:

      (a) Be distinctly designed so that it will not be confused with the official driver's license; and

      (b) Expire on the ((fifth)) sixth anniversary of the applicant's birthdate after issuance.

      (3) Renewal.  An application for identicard renewal may be submitted by means of:

      (a) Personal appearance before the department; or

      (b) Mail or electronic commerce, if permitted by rule of the department and if the applicant did not renew his or her identicard by mail or by electronic commerce when it last expired.  ((However, the department may accept an application for renewal of an identicard submitted by means of mail or electronic commerce only if specific authority and funding is provided for this purpose by June 30, 2004, in the omnibus transportation appropriations act.))

      An identicard may not be renewed by mail or by electronic commerce unless the renewal issued by the department includes a photograph of the identicard holder.

      (4) Cancellation.  The department may cancel an identicard if the holder of the identicard used the card or allowed others to use the card in violation of RCW 46.20.0921.

(5) From the effective date of this section to July 1, 2020, the department may issue or renew an identicard for a period other than six years, or may extend by mail an identicard that has already been issued, in order to evenly distribute, as nearly as possible, the yearly renewal rate of identicard holders; however, the department may not issue or renew an identicard for a period that exceeds six years.  The fee for an identicard issued or renewed for a period other than six years, or that has been extended by mail, is four dollars for each year that the identicard is issued, renewed, or extended.  The department may adopt rules as necessary to administer this subsection.

Sec. 6.  RCW 46.20.120 and 2005 c 314 s 306 and 2005 c 61 s 2 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

      An applicant for a new or renewed driver's license must successfully pass a driver licensing examination to qualify for a driver's license.  The department ((shall give)) must ensure that examinations are given at places and times reasonably available to the people of this state.  If the department does not administer driver licensing examinations as a routine part of its licensing services within a department region because adequate testing sites are provided by driver training schools or school districts within that region, the department shall, at a minimum, administer driver licensing examinations by appointment to applicants eighteen years of age and older in at least one licensing office within that region.

      (1) Waiver.  The department may waive:

      (a) All or any part of the examination of any person applying for the renewal of a driver's license unless the department determines that the applicant is not qualified to hold a driver's license under this title; or

      (b) All or any part of the examination involving operating a motor vehicle if the applicant:

      (i) Surrenders a valid driver's license issued by the person's previous home state; or

      (ii) Provides for verification a valid driver's license issued by a foreign driver licensing jurisdiction with which the department has an informal agreement under RCW 46.20.125; and

      (iii) Is otherwise qualified to be licensed.

      (2) Fee.  Each applicant for a new license must pay an examination fee of twenty dollars.

      (a) The examination fee is in addition to the fee charged for issuance of the license.

      (b) "New license" means a license issued to a driver:

      (i) Who has not been previously licensed in this state; or

      (ii) Whose last previous Washington license has been expired for more than ((five)) six years.

      (3) An application for driver's license renewal may be submitted by means of:

      (a) Personal appearance before the department; or

      (b) Mail or electronic commerce, if permitted by rule of the department and if the applicant did not renew his or her license by mail or by electronic commerce when it last expired.  ((However, the department may accept an application for renewal of a driver's license submitted by means of mail or electronic commerce only if specific authority and funding is provided for this purpose by June 30, 2004, in the omnibus transportation appropriations act.))

      (4) A person whose license expired or will expire while he or she is living outside the state, may:

      (a) Apply to the department to extend the validity of his or her license for no more than twelve months.  If the person establishes to the department's satisfaction that he or she is unable to return to Washington before the date his or her license expires, the department shall extend the person's license.  The department may grant consecutive extensions, but in no event may the cumulative total of extensions exceed twelve months.  An extension granted under this section does not change the expiration date of the license for purposes of RCW 46.20.181.  The department shall charge a fee of five dollars for each license extension;

      (b) Apply to the department to renew his or her license by mail or, if permitted by rule of the department, by electronic commerce even if subsection (3)(b) of this section would not otherwise allow renewal by that means.  If the person establishes to the department's satisfaction that he or she is unable to return to Washington within twelve months of the date that his or her license expires, the department shall renew the person's license by mail or, if permitted by rule of the department, by electronic commerce.

      (5) If a qualified person submits an application for renewal under subsection (3)(b) or (4)(b) of this section, he or she is not required to pass an examination nor provide an updated photograph.  A license renewed by mail or by electronic commerce that does not include a photograph of the licensee must be labeled "not valid for identification purposes."

(6) Driver training schools licensed by the department under chapter 46.82 RCW may administer the portions of the driver licensing examination that test the applicant's knowledge of traffic laws and ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.
      (7) School districts that offer a traffic safety education program under chapter 28A.220 RCW may administer the portions of the driver licensing examination that test the applicant's knowledge of traffic laws and ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.

Sec. 7.  RCW 46.20.161 and 2000 c 115 s 6 are each amended to read as follows:

      The department, upon receipt of a fee of ((twenty-five)) thirty dollars, unless the driver's license is issued for a period other than ((five)) six years, in which case the fee shall be five dollars for each year that the license is issued, which includes the fee for the required photograph, shall issue to every qualifying applicant a driver's license.  A driver's license issued to a person under the age of eighteen is an intermediate license, subject to the restrictions imposed under RCW 46.20.075, until the person reaches the age of eighteen.  The license must include a distinguishing number assigned to the licensee, the name of record, date of birth, Washington residence address, photograph, a brief description of the licensee, and either a facsimile of the signature of the licensee or a space upon which the licensee shall write his or her usual signature with pen and ink immediately upon receipt of the license.  No license is valid until it has been so signed by the licensee.

Sec. 8.  RCW 46.20.181 and 1999 c 308 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, every driver's license expires on the ((fifth)) sixth anniversary of the licensee's birthdate following the issuance of the license.

      (2) A person may renew his or her license on or before the expiration date by submitting an application as prescribed by the department and paying a fee of ((twenty-five)) thirty dollars.  This fee includes the fee for the required photograph.  The department may waive five dollars of the renewal fee under this subsection if a person renews his or her driver's license through the mail or through online services.

      (3) A person renewing his or her driver's license more than sixty days after the license has expired shall pay a penalty fee of ten dollars in addition to the renewal fee, unless his or her license expired when:

      (a) The person was outside the state and he or she renews the license within sixty days after returning to this state; or

      (b) The person was incapacitated and he or she renews the license within sixty days after the termination of the incapacity.

      (4) ((During the period from July 1, 2000, to July 1, 2006)) From the effective date of this section to July 1, 2020, the department may issue or renew a driver's license for a period other than ((five)) six years, or may extend by mail a license that has already been issued, in order to evenly distribute, as nearly as possible, the yearly renewal rate of licensed drivers; however, the department may not issue or renew a driver's license for a period that exceeds six years.  The fee for a driver's license issued or renewed for a period other than ((five)) six years, or that has been extended by mail, is five dollars for each year that the license is issued, renewed, or extended.  The department may adopt any rules as are necessary to carry out this subsection.

Sec. 9.  RCW 46.20.505 and 2007 c 97 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

      Every person applying for a special endorsement of a driver's license authorizing such person to drive a two or three-wheeled motorcycle or a motor-driven cycle shall pay a fee of five dollars, which is not refundable.  In addition, the endorsement fee for the initial motorcycle endorsement shall not exceed ((ten)) twelve dollars, and the subsequent renewal endorsement fee shall not exceed ((twenty- five)) thirty dollars, unless the endorsement is renewed or extended for a period other than ((five)) six years, in which case the subsequent renewal endorsement fee shall not exceed five dollars for each year that the endorsement is renewed or extended.  Fees collected under this section shall be deposited in the motorcycle safety education account of the highway safety fund.

Sec. 10.  RCW 46.20.515 and 2003 c 41 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The motorcycle endorsement examination must emphasize maneuvers necessary for on-street operation, including emergency braking and turning as may be required to avoid an impending collision.

(2) The examination for a two-wheeled motorcycle endorsement and the examination for a three-wheeled motorcycle endorsement must be separate and distinct examinations emphasizing the skills and maneuvers necessary to operate each type of motorcycle.

(3) The department may authorize an entity that has entered into a contract under RCW 46.20.520 to administer the motorcycle endorsement examination.
      (4) The department may waive all or part of the examination for persons who satisfactorily complete the voluntary motorcycle operator training and education program authorized under RCW 46.20.520 or who satisfactorily complete a private motorcycle skills education course that has been certified by the department under RCW 46.81A.020.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 11.  A new section is added to chapter 46.82 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) Driver training schools may administer the portions of the driver licensing examination that test the applicant's knowledge of traffic laws and ability to safely operate a motor vehicle as authorized under RCW 46.20.120(6).

      (2) The director shall adopt rules to regulate the administration of the knowledge and driving portions of the driver licensing examination.  The rules must include, but are not limited to, the following provisions:

      (g) Requirements for retesting and expiring examination results;

      (h) Limitations on fees that may be charged by driver training schools for administering the knowledge portion of the examination and the driving portion of the examination.  The examination fees must be limited to an amount that does not exceed the amount that is sufficient for driver training schools to recover the costs of administering each examination;

      (i) Requirements for the department to monitor outcomes for applicants who take a driver licensing examination through a driver training school and to make the outcomes available to the public;

      (j) Requirements for annual auditing, which must include the collection of current information regarding insurance, curriculums, instructors' names and licenses, and a selection of random student files to review for accuracy; and

      (k) Sanctions for violations of the rules adopted under this section.

      (3) Before a driver training school may provide a portion of the driver licensing examination, it must enter into an agreement with the department that, at a minimum, contains provisions that:

      (a) Allow the department to conduct random examinations, inspections, and audits without prior notice;

      (b) Allow the department to conduct on-site inspections at least annually;

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 12.  (1) The driver licensing examination advisory committee is established within the department of licensing.

                Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  It is the intent of the legislature to improve mobility for people and goods by maximizing the effectiveness of the freeway system.  The ability of the state to provide an efficient transportation system will be enhanced by a public-private partnership in which private entities undertake the study, planning, design, development, acquisition, installation, construction, or improvement of existing transportation systems.  A public-private partnership using toll lanes is one approach for generating funds to improve the Interstate 405 and state route number 167 corridor.  The legislature acknowledges that as one of the most congested freeway sections in the state, the Interstate 405 and state route number 167 corridor serves as an ideal candidate for the use of a public-private partnership.

      Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to direct the department of transportation to explore improving the movement of vehicles and people through the use of a public-private partnership on Interstate 405 between the city of Bellevue on the north end and state route number 167 on the south end and to determine the feasibility of financing capacity improvements through tolls.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  A new section is added to chapter 47.56 RCW under the subchapter heading "toll facilities created after July 1, 2008" to read as follows:

      (1) The department shall conduct a traffic and revenue analysis that would be informative to potential partners in a public-private partnership with the goal of completing planned throughput and capacity improvements on state route number 167 and Interstate 405.  Information included in the analysis must help evaluate the viability of a public- private partnership model for completing improvements to state route number 167 and Interstate 405 that will most effectively improve congestion and provide reliable travel times.  The department shall also develop a corridor-wide project management plan to develop a strategy for phasing the completion of improvements in the Interstate 405 and state route number 167 corridor.

      (2) The department shall use the information from the traffic and revenue analysis and the corridor-wide project management plan to develop a finance plan to fund improvements in the Interstate 405 and state route number 167 corridor.  The department must include the following elements in the finance plan:

      (a) Current state and federal funding contributions for projects in the Interstate 405 and state route number 167 corridor;

      (b) A potential future state and federal funding contribution to leverage toll revenues;

      (c) Financing mechanisms to optimize the revenue available for capacity improvements including, but not limited to, using the full faith and credit of the state; and

      (d) Private financing to further state and federal funding contributions.

      (3) The department must consult with a committee consisting of local and state elected officials from the Interstate 405 and state route number 167 corridor and representatives from the transit agencies that operate in the Interstate 405 and state route number 167 corridor while developing the traffic and revenue analysis and finance plan.

      (4) The department must provide the traffic and revenue analysis plan and finance plan to the governor and the legislature by January 2012.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3.  A new section is added to chapter 46.68 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) The Interstate 405 toll lanes account is created in the motor vehicle fund in the state treasury.  Money in the account may be spent only after appropriation.  Expenditures from the account must be used only for the improvements specified in a public-private partnership agreement for projects on the Interstate 405 corridor.

      (2) Deposits to the account must include:

      (a) All proceeds of bonds issued for construction of Interstate 405 improvements, including any capitalized interest;

      (b) All of the tolls and other revenues received from the operation of Interstate 405 as a toll facility when authorized by the legislature, to be deposited at least monthly;

      (c) Any interest that may be earned from the deposit or investment of those revenues;

      (d) Notwithstanding RCW 47.12.063, proceeds from the sale of any surplus real property acquired for the Interstate 405 corridor improvement program; and

      (e) All damages, liquidated or otherwise, collected under any contract involving the Interstate 405 corridor improvement program.

Sec. 4.  RCW 43.84.092 and 2010 1st sp.s. c 30 s 20, 2010 1st sp.s. c 9 s 7, 2010 c 248 s 6, 2010 c 222 s 5, 2010 c 162 s 6, and 2010 c 145 s 11 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

      (1) All earnings of investments of surplus balances in the state treasury shall be deposited to the treasury income account, which account is hereby established in the state treasury.

      (2) The treasury income account shall be utilized to pay or receive funds associated with federal programs as required by the federal cash management improvement act of 1990.  The treasury income account is subject in all respects to chapter 43.88 RCW, but no appropriation is required for refunds or allocations of interest earnings required by the cash management improvement act.  Refunds of interest to the federal treasury required under the cash management improvement act fall under RCW 43.88.180 and shall not require appropriation.  The office of financial management shall determine the amounts due to or from the federal government pursuant to the cash management improvement act.  The office of financial management may direct transfers of funds between accounts as deemed necessary to implement the provisions of the cash management improvement act, and this subsection.  Refunds or allocations shall occur prior to the distributions of earnings set forth in subsection (4) of this section.

      (3) Except for the provisions of RCW 43.84.160, the treasury income account may be utilized for the payment of purchased banking services on behalf of treasury funds including, but not limited to, depository, safekeeping, and disbursement functions for the state treasury and affected state agencies.  The treasury income account is subject in all respects to chapter 43.88 RCW, but no appropriation is required for payments to financial institutions.  Payments shall occur prior to distribution of earnings set forth in subsection (4) of this section.

      (4) Monthly, the state treasurer shall distribute the earnings credited to the treasury income account.  The state treasurer shall credit the general fund with all the earnings credited to the treasury income account except:

      (a) The following accounts and funds shall receive their proportionate share of earnings based upon each account's and fund's average daily balance for the period:  The aeronautics account, the

                Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"Sec. 1.  RCW 49.17.140 and 1994 c 61 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) If after an inspection or investigation the director or the director's authorized representative issues a citation under the authority of RCW 49.17.120 or 49.17.130, the department, within a reasonable time after the termination of such inspection or investigation, shall notify the employer by certified mail of the penalty to be assessed under the authority of RCW 49.17.180 and shall state that the employer has fifteen working days within which to notify the director that the employer wishes to appeal the citation or assessment of penalty.  If, within fifteen working days from the communication of the notice issued by the director the employer fails to notify the director that the employer intends to appeal the citation or assessment penalty, and no notice is filed by any employee or representative of employees under subsection (3) of this section within such time, the citation and the assessment shall be deemed a final order of the department and not subject to review by any court or agency.

      (2) If the director has reason to believe that an employer has failed to correct a violation for which ((a citation has been issued within the period permitted in the citation for its correction, which period shall not begin to run until the entry of a final order in the case of any appeal proceedings under this section initiated by the employer in good faith and not solely for delay or avoidance of penalties)) the employer was previously cited and which has become a final order, the director shall notify the employer by certified mail of such failure to correct the violation and of the penalty to be assessed under RCW 49.17.180 by reason of such failure, and shall state that the employer has fifteen working days from the communication of such notification and assessment of penalty to notify the director that the employer wishes to appeal the director's notification of the assessment of penalty.  If, within fifteen working days from the receipt of notification issued by the director the employer fails to notify the director that the employer intends to appeal the notification of assessment of penalty, the notification and assessment of penalty shall be deemed a final order of the department and not subject to review by any court or agency.

      (3) If any employer notifies the director that the employer intends to appeal the citation issued under either RCW 49.17.120 or 49.17.130 or notification of the assessment of a penalty issued under subsections (1) or (2) of this section, or if, within fifteen working days from the issuance of a citation under either RCW 49.17.120 or 49.17.130 any employee or representative of employees files a notice with the director alleging that the period of time fixed in the citation for the abatement of the violation is unreasonable, the director may reassume jurisdiction over the entire matter, or any portion thereof upon which notice of intention to appeal has been filed with the director pursuant to this subsection.  If the director reassumes jurisdiction of all or any portion of the matter upon which notice of appeal has been filed with the director, any redetermination shall be completed and corrective notices of assessment of penalty, citations, or revised periods of abatement completed within a period of thirty working days.  The thirty-working-day redetermination period may be extended up to fifteen additional working days upon agreement of all parties to the appeal.  The redetermination shall then become final subject to direct appeal to the board of industrial insurance appeals within fifteen working days of such redetermination with service of notice of appeal upon the director.  In the event that the director does not reassume jurisdiction as provided in this subsection, the director shall promptly notify the state board of industrial insurance appeals of all notifications of intention to appeal any such citations, any such notices of assessment of penalty and any employee or representative of employees notice of intention to appeal the period of time fixed for abatement of a violation and in addition certify a full copy of the record in such appeal matters to the board.  The director shall adopt rules of procedure for the reassumption of jurisdiction under this subsection affording employers, employees, and employee representatives notice of the reassumption of jurisdiction by the director, and an opportunity to object or support the reassumption of jurisdiction, either in writing or orally at an informal conference to be held prior to the expiration of the redetermination period.  Except as otherwise provided under subsection (4) of this section, a notice of appeal filed under this section shall stay the effectiveness of any citation or notice of the assessment of a penalty pending review by the board of industrial insurance appeals, but such appeal shall not stay the effectiveness of any order of immediate restraint issued by the director under the authority of RCW 49.17.130.  The board of industrial insurance appeals shall afford an opportunity for a hearing in the case of each such appellant and the department shall be represented in such hearing by the attorney general and the board shall in addition provide affected employees or authorized representatives of affected employees an opportunity to participate as parties to hearings under this subsection.  The board shall thereafter make disposition of the issues in accordance with procedures relative to contested cases appealed to the state board of industrial insurance appeals.

      Upon application by an employer showing that a good faith effort to comply with the abatement requirements of a citation has been made and that the abatement has not been completed because of factors beyond the employer's control, the director after affording an opportunity for a hearing shall issue an order affirming or modifying the abatement requirements in such citation.

(4) An appeal of any violation classified and cited as serious, willful, repeated serious violation, or failure to abate a serious violation does not stay abatement dates and requirements except as follows:
      (a) An employer may request a stay of abatement for any serious, willful, repeated serious violation, or failure to abate a serious violation in a notice of appeal under subsection (3) of this section;
      (b) When the director reassumes jurisdiction of an appeal under subsection (3) of this section, it will include the stay of abatement request.  The issued redetermination decision will include a decision on the stay of abatement request.  The department shall stay the abatement for any serious, willful, repeated serious violation, or failure to abate a serious violation where the department cannot determine that the preliminary evidence shows a substantial probability of death or serious physical harm to workers.  The decision on stay of abatement will be final unless the employer renews the request for a stay of abatement in any direct appeal of the redetermination to the board of industrial insurance appeals under subsection (3) of this section;
      (c) The board of industrial insurance appeals shall adopt rules necessary for conducting an expedited review on any stay of abatement requests identified in the employer's notice of appeal, and shall issue a final decision within forty-five working days of the board's notice of filing of appeal.  This rule making shall be initiated in 2011;
      (d) Affected employees or their representatives must be afforded an opportunity to participate as parties in an expedited review for stay of abatement;
      (e) The board shall grant a stay of an abatement for a serious, willful, repeated serious violation, or failure to abate a serious violation where there is good cause for a stay unless based on the preliminary evidence it is more likely than not that a stay would result in death or serious physical harm to a worker;
      (f) As long as a motion to stay abatement is pending all abatement requirements will be stayed.
      (5) When the board of industrial insurance appeals denies a stay of abatement and abatement is required while the appeal is adjudicated, the abatement process must be the same process as the process required for abatement upon a final order.
      (6) The department shall develop rules necessary to implement subsections (4) and (5) of this section.  In an application for a stay of abatement, the department will not grant a stay when it can determine that the preliminary evidence shows a substantial probability of death or serious physical harm to workers.  The board will not grant a stay where based on the preliminary evidence it is more likely than not that a stay would result in death or serious physical harm to a worker.  This rule making shall be initiated in 2011."

      Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  A new section is added to chapter 51.18 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) In addition to those general powers and rights deemed appropriate by the department, retrospective rating plan employers and groups who administer their plans with an approved claims administrator shall have the authority to assist the department in the processing of claims when approved by the department.  However, the department retains the final authority over decisions with respect to any individual claim.  Under this authority, retrospective rating plan employers and groups may do any or all of the following:

      (a) Schedule medical examinations and consultations, using only qualified persons from the department's approved examiner list.  No more than two independent medical examinations for each claim may be scheduled by the claims administrator within any twenty-four month period.  An independent medical examination may be scheduled when the claim file includes medical reports indicating that an examination may be necessary for any of the following reasons:  Establishing a diagnosis, outlining a program of treatment, evaluating what, if any, conditions are related to the claimed industrial injury or occupational disease, determining whether an industrial injury or occupational disease has aggravated a preexisting condition, establishing an impairment rating when the claim file medical reports indicate that the worker's claim-related condition is at maximum medical improvement, evaluating whether the industrial injury or occupational disease has worsened, or evaluating the worker's mental or physical restrictions as well as the worker's ability to work.  The results of any independent medical examination scheduled under this subsection must be sent by the examiner or independent medical examination panel directly to the department for the claimant's claim file.  The department shall enforce penalties under RCW 51.32.110 for refusals to submit to medical examinations scheduled by retrospective rating plan employers or groups or obstruction of the same.

(b) Schedule vocational assessments using only qualified providers from a qualified provider list developed by the department.  Providers may be selected based on department quality or performance indicators and based on industry experience.  Any vocational assessment resulting from a referral under this section must be sent by the vocational rehabilitation counselor directly to the department for the claimant's claim file.

(c) Close claims as provided by this subsection. Closure of claims shall be conducted under the standards and procedures as provided in this title, except as provided in this section.  If a claim with date of ijury or manifestation of occupational disease on or after January 1, 2012:  (i) Involves only medical treatment and/or the payment of temporary disability compensation under RCW 51.32.090 for a period of thirty days or less; (ii) at the time medical treatment is concluded, does not involve permanent disability; (iii) is one with respect to which the department has not intervened under subsection (2) of this section; and (iv) concerns an injured worker who has returned to work with the retrospective rating plan employer or employer within the group at the worker's previous job or at a job that has at least ninety-five percent of at-injury wages as calculated under RCW 51.08.178, the claim may be closed by the retrospective rating plan employer or group, subject to reporting of claims to the department in a manner prescribed by department rules adopted under chapter 34.05 RCW.  No later than at the time of closure for such claims, the retrospective rating plan employer or group shall issue and send to the department and the worker a written order and forward to the worker a notification developed by the department describing in nontechnical language the worker's rights under this title.

(2) If a dispute arises from the handling of any claim under this section, the injured worker, or retrospective rating plan employer or group, may request the department to intervene.  When exercising any authority under subsection (1) of this section, a retrospective rating plan employer or group must inform a worker in writing that the worker may request the department to intervene at any time.

(3) The department shall require the retrospective rating plan employer or group to notify the department prior to exercising any authority authorized by this section.  Rules adopted under this section must minimize the department's need to respond and ensure that any delay in response by the department does not impede the timely administration of the claim.  Charges incurred by the retrospective rating plan employer or group for independent medical examinations or vocational rehabilitation assessments shall be charged against the claim.

(4) For the purposes of this section, "approved claims administrator" means a person who meets department qualifications to manage industrial insurance claims for retrospective rating plan employers and groups.  Any claims managers employed by the approved claims administrator to manage retrospective rating plan claims must pass a certification test approved by the department as established in rule.  The department may audit or review the claims management process of a retrospective rating plan employer or group that has received authority to assist the department with the processing of claims.  The director shall take corrective action, subject to appeal to the board of industrial insurance appeals, against a retrospective rating plan employer or group, if the director determines that a claims manager under its direction is not following proper industrial insurance claims procedures.  Corrective actions taken by the director may include:

(a) Probationary period of time for the claims manager;

(b) Additional mandatory training for claims management personnel; and

(c) Monitoring of the activities of the employer or group to determine progress towards compliance.

The director shall adopt rules defining the corrective actions which may be taken in response to a given condition.  If the director determines that compliance has been attained, no further action shall be taken.  If compliance has not been attained, the director may take additional corrective action including the removal of the additional authority to assist the department in the processing of claims under this section.  The withdrawal of approval revokes the ability of the approved claims administrator to exercise authority under this section, but does not otherwise affect the administrator's status or the retrospective rating plan employer or group's status in the retrospective rating program.

(5) The department may adopt rules to implement this section.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  A new section is added to chapter 51.18 RCW to read as follows:

Payment by an employer for direct primary care services as defined in RCW 48.150.010 does not disqualify:  (1) An employer from participating in the retrospective rating plan; (2) a group sponsor from promoting a retrospective rating plan; or (3) a plan administrator from administering a retrospective rating plan.  The department may adopt rules requiring a direct practice to provide such information as the department requires to establish refunds or assessments for employers or groups under this chapter.  Any billing rule requiring a provider to bill for services does not apply to a direct practice.  For purposes of this section, "direct practice" shall have the meaning in RCW 48.150.010.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 51.18 to read as follows:

(1) When a retrospective rating plan employer or group or its representative communicates with a medical provider, the employer must provide to the worker and send to the claim file a copy of any written communication received and a memorandum describing any oral communication.  The copy of the written communication and memorandum describing an oral communication must be provided within seventy-two hours of receiving the information.                 

(2) The information required to be provided under subsection (1) of this section must be provided regardless of the source of the information and any claim of privilege or work product. 

(3) The employer must send the information required to be provided under subsection (1) of this section to the claim file electronically.  If the worker chooses, the information must be sent to the worker electronically.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 51.18 RCW to read as follows:

A retrospective rating plan employer or group must maintain complete records of all claims administered under this chapter. The records may be maintained by service companies or at an out of state location under conditions and procedures established by the director.  The retrospective rating plan employer or group must make the records available for inspection upon request by the department, worker or beneficiary, or their representative within five business days of the request at a a location within the state requested by the department, worker or beneficiary, or representative.  The expense of producing the records must be borne by the retrospective rating plan employer or group.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 5.  The joint legislative audit and review committee shall conduct a study of the impact of section 1 of this act on the state's workers' compensation system, including the impact on the retrospective rating plan performance and refunds, the department's processes, and worker outcomes and satisfaction.  The joint legislative audit and review committee shall submit the study to the appropriate committees of the legislature by July 1, 2015.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 6.  Sections 1 and 4 of this act expire July 1, 2016."

                Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  The legislature finds:

      (1) The market price of gold has increased significantly in recent years and there has been a proliferation of secondhand dealers, including temporary, transient secondhand businesses, engaging in "cash for gold" type precious metal transactions.  Frequently, these "cash for gold" type operations are operated by persons desiring to exploit unsuspecting consumers based on current market conditions;

      (2) The increasing number of "cash for gold" type transactions in communities and neighborhoods throughout Washington has been linked to increased crimes involving the theft of gold and other precious metal objects, including home burglaries, robberies, and other crimes, resulting in depressed home values and other threats to the health, safety, and welfare of Washington state residents; and

      (3) With the growing number of precious metal transactions, there is a corresponding significant increase in the number of "cash for gold" type storefront businesses, including temporary, transient secondhand businesses, in Washington state which may not be consistent with the quality of life and personal security sought by communities and neighborhoods and the state as a whole.

      Therefore, to better protect legitimate owners, consumers, and secondhand dealers, the legislature intends to establish and implement stricter standards relating to transactions involving property consisting of gold and other precious metals.

Sec. 2.  RCW 19.60.010 and 1995 c 133 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

      Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter.

      (1) "Melted metals" means metals derived from metal junk or precious metals that have been reduced to a melted state from other than ore or ingots which are produced from ore that has not previously been processed.

      (2) "Metal junk" means any metal that has previously been milled, shaped, stamped, or forged and that is no longer useful in its original form, except precious metals.

      (3) "Nonmetal junk" means any nonmetal, commonly discarded item that is worn out, or has outlasted its usefulness as intended in its original form except nonmetal junk does not include an item made in a former period which has enhanced value because of its age.

      (4) "Pawnbroker" means every person engaged, in whole or in part, in the business of loaning money on the security of pledges of personal property, or deposits or conditional sales of personal property, or the purchase or sale of personal property.

      (5) "Precious metals" means gold, silver, and platinum.

      (6) "Secondhand dealer" means every person engaged in whole or in part in the business of purchasing, selling, trading, consignment selling, or otherwise transferring for value, secondhand property including metal junk, melted metals, precious metals, whether or not the person maintains a fixed place of business within the state.  Secondhand dealer also includes persons or entities conducting business, more than three times per year, at flea markets or swap meets((, more than three times per year)).

      (7) "Secondhand precious metal dealer" means any person or entity engaged in whole or in part in the commercial activity or business of purchasing, selling, trading, consignment selling, or otherwise transferring for value, more than three times per year, secondhand property that is a precious metal, whether or not the person or entity maintains a permanent or fixed place of business within the state, or engages in the business at flea markets or swap meets.  Secondhand property, for purposes of transactions by a secondhand precious metal dealer, does not include:  (a) Gold, silver, and platinum coins or other precious metal coins that are legal tender or precious metal coins that have numismatic or precious metal value or (b) gold, silver, platinum, or other precious metal bullions.
      (8) "Secondhand property" means any item of personal property offered for sale which is not new, including metals in any form, except postage stamps, coins that are legal tender, bullion in the form of fabricated hallmarked bars, used books, and clothing of a resale value of seventy-five dollars or less, except furs.

      (((8))) (9) "Transaction" means a pledge, or the purchase of, or consignment of, or the trade of any item of personal property by a pawnbroker or a secondhand dealer from a member of the general public.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3.  (1) For any transaction involving property consisting of a precious metal bought or received from an individual, every secondhand precious metal dealer doing business in this state shall maintain wherever that business is conducted a record in which shall be legibly written in the English language, at the time of each transaction, the following information:

      (b) The time and date of the transaction;

      (c) The name of the person or employee or the identification number of the person or employee conducting the transaction;

      (2) The records required in subsection (1) of this section shall at all times during the ordinary hours of business, or at reasonable times if ordinary hours of business are not kept, be open to the inspection by any commissioned law enforcement officer of the state or any of its political subdivisions, and shall be maintained wherever that business is conducted for three years following the date of the transaction.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 4.  (1) Property consisting of a precious metal bought or received from an individual on consignment by any secondhand precious metal dealer with a permanent place of business in the state may not be removed from that place of business except consigned property returned to the owner, for a total of thirty days after the receipt of the property.  Property shall at all times during the ordinary hours of business be open to inspection to any commissioned law enforcement officer of the state or any of its political subdivisions.

      (2) Property consisting of a precious metal bought or received from an individual on consignment by any secondhand precious metal dealer without a permanent place of business in the state must be stored and held within the city or county in which the property was received, except consigned property returned to the owner, for a total of thirty days after receipt of the property.  The property shall be available within the appropriate jurisdiction for inspection at reasonable times by any commissioned law enforcement officer of the state or any of its political subdivisions.

      (3) Subsections (1) and (2) of this section do not apply when the property consisting of a precious metal was bought or received from a pawn shop, jeweler, secondhand dealer, or secondhand precious metal dealer who must provide a signed declaration showing the property is not stolen.  The declaration may be included as part of the transactional record required under this subsection, or on a receipt for the transaction.  The declaration must state substantially the following:  "I, the undersigned, affirm under penalty of law that the property that is subject to this transaction is not to the best of my knowledge stolen property."

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 5.  If the applicable chief of police or the county's chief law enforcement officer has compiled and published a list of persons who have been convicted of any crime involving theft, then a secondhand precious metal dealer shall utilize such a list for any transaction involving property other than property consisting of a precious metal as required by the applicable chief of police or the county's chief law enforcement officer.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 6.  No secondhand precious metal dealer doing business in this state may operate a business without first obtaining a business license from the local government in which the business is situated.

      (b) A secondhand precious metal dealer to receive any precious metal property from any person known to the secondhand precious metal dealer as having been convicted of burglary, robbery, theft, or possession of or receiving stolen property within the past ten years whether the person is acting in his or her own behalf or as the agent of another; or

      (c) A secondhand precious metal dealer to knowingly violate any other provision relating to precious metals under sections 3 through 6 and 9 of this act.

      (2) It is a class C felony for a secondhand precious metal dealer to commit a second or subsequent violation of subsection (1) of this section involving property consisting of a precious metal.

Sec. 8.  RCW 19.60.085 and 2000 c 171 s 56 are each amended to read as follows:
