Concerning the tax preference review process.

Representative Reykdal moved the adoption of amendment (644).

On page 1, after line 3, insert the following:

"Sec 1. RCW 43.136.011 and 2006 c 197 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

"The legislature recognizes that tax preferences are enacted to meet objectives which are determined to be in the public interest. However, some tax preferences may not be efficient or equitable tools for the achievement of current public policy objectives. Given the changing nature of the economy and tax structures of other states, the legislature finds that periodic performance audits of tax preferences are needed to determine if their continued existence will serve the public interest. The legislature further finds that tax preferences that are enacted for economic development purposes must demonstrate growth in full-time family wage jobs with health and retirement benefits. Given that an opportunity cost exists with each economic choice, it is the intent of the legislature that the overall impact of economic development focused tax preferences benefit the state’s economy."

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly and correct the title.

On page 3, line 19, after “(j)” insert: "The economic impact of the tax preference compared to the economic impact of government activities funded by the tax for which the tax preference is taken at the same level of expenditure as the tax preference. For purposes of this subsection the economic impact shall be determined using the Washington Input-Output Model as published by the office of financial management;

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 51.44 RCW to read as follows:

The legislature finds that stability in industrial insurance premium rates benefits both employers and workers. Further, the legislature finds that economic and other events may cause both benefit costs and premiums collected to change in unanticipated ways. Therefore, the legislature intends that rather than return surplus funds to employers and workers in the form of rate holidays, dividends, and other returns, surpluses should be deposited into a rainy day account to be used in lieu of a premium rate increase. The legislature further intends that funds deposited into the rainy day account be held in trust for the employers and workers who paid them in the form of industrial insurance premiums and may not be expended for purposes other than the benefits required by this title and the administration of those benefits.

Sec. 2. RCW 51.16.035 and 2005 c 410 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The department shall classify all occupations or industries in accordance with their degree of hazard and fix therefor basic rates of premium which shall be:

(a) The lowest necessary to maintain actuarial solvency of the accident and medical aid funds in accordance with recognized insurance principles; and

(b) Designed to attempt to limit fluctuations in premium rates.

      (2)(a)(i) Before proposing premium rates, the director shall determine whether the combined assets in the accident fund and medical aid fund are more than ten percent greater than funded liabilities.
      (ii) If the director finds that the combined assets in the accident fund and medical aid fund are more than ten percent greater than funded liabilities, the director, subject to (a)(iii) of this subsection, must notify the treasurer of the excess and the treasurer must transfer the amount of the excess to the industrial insurance rainy day account created in section 4 of this act. The director must determine and direct the treasurer whether to transfer the excess from the accident fund or medical aid fund, or both.
      (iii) The director has discretion to transfer to the industrial insurance rainy day account amounts that are more than thirty percent greater than funded liabilities. No transfer may be made under this subsection (2) if the director determines that a transfer would impair the ability of the department to meet the obligations of this title.
      (b) If the director determines to increase average rates for the accident fund or medical aid fund, the amount of the increase must first be funded from the industrial insurance rainy day account created in section 4 of this act. The director must notify the state treasurer and the state treasurer must transfer the amount required to fund the rate increase from the accident fund or medical aid fund, or both, as appropriate. The amount so transferred may not exceed the balance in the industrial insurance rainy day account that is attributable to the affected fund.
      (c) The director must consult with the workers' compensation advisory committee in administering this subsection.
      (3) The department shall formulate and adopt rules governing the method of premium calculation and collection and providing for a rating system consistent with recognized principles of workers' compensation insurance which shall be designed to stimulate and encourage accident prevention and to facilitate collection. The department may annually, or at such other times as it deems necessary to achieve the objectives under this section, readjust rates in accordance with the rating system to become effective on such dates as the department may designate. However, the department may not distribute premium dividends, other than refunds under the retrospective rating plan pursuant to chapter 51.18 RCW, and may not reduce average rates.

      (((3)(a) After the first report is issued by the state auditor under RCW 51.44.115, the workers' compensation advisory committee shall review the report and, as the committee deems appropriate, may make recommendations to the department concerning:
      (i) The level or levels of a contingency reserve that are appropriate to maintain actuarial solvency of the accident and medical aid funds, limit premium rate fluctuations, and account for economic conditions; and
      (ii) When surplus funds exist in the trust funds, the circumstances under which the department should give premium dividends, or similar measures, or temporarily reduce rates below the rates fixed under subsection (1) of this section, including any recommendations regarding notifications that should be given before taking the action.
      (b) Following subsequent reports issued by the state auditor under RCW 51.44.115, the workers' compensation advisory committee may, as it deems appropriate, update its recommendations to the department on the matters covered under (a) of this subsection.))

(4) In providing a retrospective rating plan under RCW 51.18.010, the department may consider each individual retrospective rating group as a single employing entity for purposes of dividends or premium discounts.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 51.44 RCW to read as follows:

The decisions of the director under RCW 51.16.035 regarding transfers to and from the industrial insurance rainy day account created in section 4 of this act do not constitute "agency action" or "rules" under RCW 34.05.010 and are not reviewable by any court or tribunal, but must be announced as part of the rule-making process for setting premium rates and must be part of the department's rule-making file under chapter 34.05 RCW.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 51.44 RCW to read as follows:

The industrial insurance rainy day account is created in the state treasury as an industrial insurance trust fund. Revenues to the account consist of transfers made pursuant to RCW 51.16.035(2). Moneys in the account may be used solely for transfers into the accident fund or medical aid fund or both in order to avoid premium increases in those funds under RCW 51.16.035 and retain their status as moneys held in trust for purposes of the industrial insurance program. The treasurer must separately account for any transfers to and from the accident fund and the medical aid fund.

Sec. 5. RCW 51.44.100 and 1990 c 80 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

Whenever, in the judgment of the state investment board, there shall be in the accident fund, medical aid fund, reserve fund, industrial insurance rainy day account, or the supplemental pension fund, funds in excess of that amount deemed by the state investment board to be sufficient to meet the current expenditures properly payable therefrom, the state investment board may invest and reinvest such excess funds in the manner prescribed by RCW 43.84.150, and not otherwise.

The state investment board may give consideration to the investment of excess funds in federally insured student loans made to persons in vocational training or retraining or reeducation programs. The state investment board may make such investments by purchasing from savings and loan associations, commercial banks, mutual savings banks, credit unions and other institutions authorized to be lenders under the federally insured student loan act, organized under federal or state law and operating in this state loans made by such institutions to residents of the state of Washington particularly for the purpose of vocational training or reeducation: PROVIDED, That the state investment board shall purchase only that portion of any loan which is guaranteed or insured by the United States of America, or by any agency or instrumentality of the United States of America: PROVIDED FURTHER, That the state investment board is authorized to enter into contracts with such savings and loan associations, commercial banks, mutual savings banks, credit unions, and other institutions authorized to be lenders under the federally insured student loan act to service loans purchased pursuant to this section at an agreed upon contract price.

Sec. 6. 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:
