MR. PRESIDENT:
The House has adopted the report of the Conference Committee on ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5457 and has passed the bill as recommended by the Conference Committee.
and the same is herewith transmitted.

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5457
April 20, 2011
MR. PRESIDENT:
MR. SPEAKER:
We of your conference committee, to whom was referred Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5457, have had the same under consideration and recommend that all previous amendments not be adopted and that the following striking amendment be adopted:
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature recognizes that public transportation provides many benefits to the citizens of the state and the environment, including through public transportation's ability to alleviate congestion and offset the burdens placed by general vehicular traffic on the state's transportation infrastructure. In these challenging economic times, many transit agencies find themselves struggling to continue to provide a level of service that reduces congestion.
The legislature further recognizes that King county conducted a regional transit task force in 2010 that considered a policy framework for the potential future growth and, if necessary, contraction of King county's transit system. The task force members were selected to represent a broad diversity of interests and perspectives. The task force recommendations, which were unanimously accepted, addressed key elements, such as the adoption of performance measures, controlling operating costs, developing policy guidance for making service reductions, and clear and transparent guidelines for service allocation. As a result of the work done by the task force and King county's commitment to comply with the recommendations, it is the intent of the legislature that King county be provided the opportunity to impose a temporary congestion reduction charge, which is separate and distinct from the base motor vehicle license fee, that can help address its revenue shortfalls during this economic crisis and allow it to continue reducing congestion and the corresponding burdens placed on the highway system on some of the state's most crowded corridors.
The legislature recognizes that the title of Initiative Measure No. 1053 states that it applies only to tax and fee increases imposed by state government, and that the text of the initiative requires a two-thirds majority only for tax increases. The legislature further recognizes that Initiative Measure No. 1053 does not apply to local government. Despite these facts, this act requires a two-thirds majority of the metropolitan King county council in order to implement a local option fee, in the form of a congestion reduction charge, to help fund King county metro transit service. Faced with the potential loss of hundreds of thousands of hours of vital transit service, it is the intent of the legislature to provide King county with this temporary local option funding mechanism. It is further the intent of the legislature not to expand the parameters of Initiative Measure No. 1053 beyond what the voters intended and thus interfere with local control or limit the ability of local governments to provide services to the people of Washington.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 82.80 RCW to read as follows:
(1)(a) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, the governing body of a county that has assumed the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of a metropolitan municipal corporation under chapter 36.56 RCW and is operating a public transportation system may impose, if approved by a majority of the voters within that county or a two-thirds majority of the governing body, an annual congestion reduction charge of up to twenty dollars per vehicle registered in the boundaries of the county for each vehicle subject to vehicle license fees under RCW 46.17.350(1) (a), (c), (d), (e), (g), (h), (j), (n), (o), (p), or (q) and for each vehicle subject to gross weight license fees under RCW 46.17.355 with an unladen weight of six thousand pounds or less.
(b) Prior to the imposition of a congestion reduction charge authorized under (a) of this subsection, a governing body must complete a congestion reduction plan indicating the proposed expenditures of the proceeds of the congestion reduction charge.
(c) If a governing body that imposes a congestion reduction charge authorized under (a) of this subsection completed a regional transit task force evaluating system improvements and efficiencies within two years prior to the imposition of the charge, the proceeds from the charge must be expended in a manner consistent with the recommendations of the regional transit task force.
(d) A governing body that imposes a congestion reduction charge authorized under (a) of this subsection must complete a report by July 1, 2012, detailing the expenditures of the proceeds of the congestion reduction charge through June 1, 2012.
(e) A governing body that imposes a congestion reduction charge authorized under (a) of this subsection must complete a report by June 1, 2014, detailing the expenditures of the proceeds of the congestion reduction charge.
(2) The governing body of a county that has assumed the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of a metropolitan municipal corporation under chapter 36.56 RCW and is operating a public transportation system may not impose a congestion reduction charge authorized under subsection (1)(a) of this section for a passenger-only ferry transportation improvement, unless the charge is first approved by a majority of the voters within that county.
(3) The governing body of a county that has assumed the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of a metropolitan municipal corporation under chapter 36.56 RCW and is operating a public transportation system shall contract with the department of licensing as provided under section 3 of this act for the collection of the congestion reduction charge.
(4) A congestion reduction charge imposed under this section may not be assessed until six months after approval.
(5) A congestion reduction charge imposed under this section applies only for vehicle registration renewals and is effective upon the registration renewal date as provided by the department of licensing.
(6) The following vehicles are exempt from the congestion reduction charge imposed under this section:
(a) Farm tractors or farm vehicles as defined in RCW 46.04.180 and 46.04.181;
(b) Off-road vehicles as defined in RCW 46.04.365;
(c) Nonhighway vehicles as defined in RCW 46.09.310;
(d) Vehicles registered under chapter 46.87 RCW and the international registration plan; and
(e) Snowmobiles as defined in RCW 46.04.546.
(7) The authority to impose a congestion reduction charge authorized in subsection (1)(a) of this section expires with vehicle registrations that expire two years after the imposition of the charge or no later than June 30, 2014, whichever comes first.
(8) A congestion reduction charge authorized under subsection (1)(a) of this section may only be imposed after June 30, 2014, if approved by a majority of the voters within a county that has assumed the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of a metropolitan municipal corporation under chapter 36.56 RCW and is operating a public transportation system.
(9) This section expires December 31, 2014.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 46.68 RCW to read as follows:
Whenever the department enters into a contract with the governing body of a county that has assumed the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of a metropolitan municipal corporation under chapter 36.56 RCW and is operating a public transportation system for the collection of congestion reduction charges authorized under section 2 of this act:
(1) The contract must require that the governing body provide any information specified by the department to identify the vehicle owners who owe the congestion reduction charges, and must specify that it is the responsibility of the governing body to ensure that the congestion reduction charges are appropriately applied;
(2) The department is not responsible for the collection of congestion reduction charges until a date agreed to by both parties as specified in the contract;
(3) The department shall deduct a percentage amount as provided in the contract, not to exceed three percent of the charges collected, necessary to reimburse the department for the costs incurred for the collection of the congestion reduction charges; and
(4) The department shall remit remaining proceeds to the custody of the state treasurer. The state treasurer shall distribute the proceeds to the governing body on a monthly basis."
Correct the title.
And the bill do pass as recommended by the conference committee.

MR. PRESIDENT:
MR. SPEAKER:

Any agency shall reply to any inquiry concerning confidential or sealed records that records are confidential, and no information can be given about the existence or nonexistence of records concerning an individual.
(b) In the event the subject of the juvenile records receives a full and unconditional pardon, the proceedings in the matter upon which the pardon has been granted shall be treated as if they never occurred, and the subject of the records may reply accordingly to any inquiry about the events upon which the pardon was received.

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1478
April 20, 2011
MR. PRESIDENT:
MR. SPEAKER:
We of your conference committee, to whom was referred Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1478, have had the same under consideration and recommend that all previous amendments not be adopted and that the following striking amendment be adopted:
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. It is the legislature's intent to provide local governments with more time to meet certain statutory requirements. Many cities and counties in Washington are facing revenue shortfalls, higher expenses, and more difficulty with borrowing money as a result of the economic downturn. The effects of the economic downturn on the budgets of local governments will be felt most deeply from 2010 to 2012. Local governments are facing the combined impact of decreased tax revenues, a falloff in state and federal aid, and increased demand for social services. With the loss of tax revenue and state and federal aid, local governments are being forced to make significant cuts that will eliminate jobs, curtail essential services, and increase the number of people in need. Additionally, local governments are struggling to comply with certain statutory requirements. Local governments want to comply with these statutory requirements, but with budget constraints, they need more time to do so. The legislature does not intend to remove any existing statutory requirement, but rather modify the time under which a local government must meet certain statutory requirements.
Sec. 2. RCW 36.70A.130 and 2010 c 216 s 1 and 2010 c 211 s 2 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
(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:

(5) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (6) of this section, following the review of comprehensive plans and development regulations required by subsection (4) 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:
(a) On or before ((December
1, 2014)) June 30, 2015, and every ((seven)) eight

Wahkiakum, Walla Walla, and Whitman counties and the cities within those
counties.
(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.

Sec. 3. RCW 36.70A.215 and 1997 c 429 s 25 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Subject to the limitations in subsection (7) of this section, a county shall adopt, in consultation with its cities, countywide planning policies to establish a review and evaluation program. This program shall be in addition to the requirements of RCW 36.70A.110, 36.70A.130, and 36.70A.210. In developing and implementing the review and evaluation program required by this section, the county and its cities shall consider information from other appropriate jurisdictions and sources. The purpose of the review and evaluation program shall be to:
(a) Determine whether a county and its cities are achieving urban densities within urban growth areas by comparing growth and development assumptions, targets, and objectives contained in the countywide planning policies and the county and city comprehensive plans with actual growth and development that has occurred in the county and its cities; and
(b) Identify reasonable measures, other than adjusting urban growth areas, that will be taken to comply with the requirements of this chapter.
(2) The review and evaluation program shall:
(a) Encompass land uses and activities both within and outside of urban growth areas and provide for annual collection of data on urban and rural land uses, development, critical areas, and capital facilities to the extent necessary to determine the quantity and type of land suitable for development, both for residential and employment-based activities;

review and, if necessary, update of comprehensive plans and development
regulations as required by RCW 36.70A.130. The county and its cities may
establish in the countywide planning policies indicators, benchmarks, and other
similar criteria to use in conducting the evaluation;
(c) Provide for methods to resolve disputes among jurisdictions relating to the countywide planning policies required by this section and procedures to resolve inconsistencies in collection and analysis of data; and
(d) Provide for the amendment of the countywide policies and county and city comprehensive plans as needed to remedy an inconsistency identified through the evaluation required by this section, or to bring these policies into compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
(3) At a minimum, the evaluation component of the program required by subsection (1) of this section shall:
(a) Determine whether there is sufficient suitable land to accommodate the countywide population projection established for the county pursuant to RCW 43.62.035 and the subsequent population allocations within the county and between the county and its cities and the requirements of RCW 36.70A.110;
(b) Determine the actual density of housing that has been constructed and the actual amount of land developed for commercial and industrial uses within the urban growth area since the adoption of a comprehensive plan under this chapter or since the last periodic evaluation as required by subsection (1) of this section; and
(c) Based on the actual density of development as determined under (b) of this subsection, review commercial, industrial, and housing needs by type and density range to determine the amount of land needed for commercial, industrial, and housing for the remaining portion of the twenty-year planning period used in the most recently adopted comprehensive plan.
(4) If the evaluation required by subsection (3) of this section demonstrates an inconsistency between what has occurred since the adoption of the countywide planning policies and the county and city comprehensive plans and development regulations and what was envisioned in those policies and plans and the planning goals and the requirements of this chapter, as the inconsistency relates to the evaluation factors specified in subsection (3) of this section, the county and its cities shall adopt and implement measures that are reasonably likely to increase consistency during the subsequent five-year period. If necessary, a county, in consultation with its cities as required by RCW 36.70A.210, shall adopt amendments to countywide planning policies to increase consistency. The county and its cities shall annually monitor the measures adopted under this subsection to determine their effect and may revise or rescind them as appropriate.
(5)(a) Not later than July 1, 1998, the department shall prepare a list of methods used by counties and cities in carrying out the types of activities required by this section. The department shall provide this information and appropriate technical assistance to counties and cities required to or choosing to comply with the provisions of this section.
(b) By December 31, 2007, the department shall submit to the appropriate committees of the legislature a report analyzing the effectiveness of the activities described in this section in achieving the goals envisioned by the countywide planning policies and the comprehensive plans and development regulations of the counties and cities.
(6) From funds appropriated by the legislature for this purpose, the department shall provide grants to counties, cities, and regional planning organizations required under subsection (7) of this section to conduct the review and perform the evaluation required by this section.
(7) The provisions of this section shall apply to counties, and the cities within those counties, that were greater than one hundred fifty thousand in population in 1995 as determined by office of financial management population estimates and that are located west of the crest of the Cascade mountain range. Any other county planning under RCW 36.70A.040 may carry out the review, evaluation, and amendment programs and procedures as provided in this section.

((six)) ten years of when the fees were paid or other such period
of time established pursuant to RCW 82.02.070(3) on public facilities intended
to benefit the development activity for which the impact fees were paid. In
determining whether impact fees have been encumbered, impact fees shall be

town shall notify potential claimants by first-class mail deposited with the
United States postal service at the last known address of claimants.
The request for a refund must be submitted to the county, city, or town governing body in writing within one year of the date the right to claim the refund arises or the date that notice is given, whichever is later. Any impact fees that are not expended within these time limitations, and for which no application for a refund has been made within this one-year period, shall be retained and expended on the indicated capital facilities. Refunds of impact fees under this subsection shall include interest earned on the impact fees.
(2) When a county, city, or town seeks to terminate any or all impact fee requirements, all unexpended or unencumbered funds, including interest earned, shall be refunded pursuant to this section.

All funds available for refund shall be retained for a period of one year. At the end of one year, any remaining funds shall be retained by the local government, but must be expended for the indicated public facilities. This notice requirement shall not apply if there are no unexpended or unencumbered balances within an account or accounts being terminated.
(3) A developer may request and shall receive a refund, including interest earned on the impact fees, when the developer does not proceed with the development activity and no impact has resulted.

in accordance with the terms of this chapter. The tax is in addition to other
taxes authorized by law and ((shall be)) is collected from those
persons who are taxable by the state under chapters 82.08 and 82.12 RCW upon
the occurrence of any taxable event within the city. The tax may only be
imposed by a city if:
(a) The city has commenced annexation of an area having a population of at least ten thousand people, or four thousand in the case of a city described under subsection (3)(a)(i) of this section, prior to January 1, 2015; and
(b) The city legislative authority determines by resolution or ordinance that the projected cost to provide municipal services to the annexation area exceeds the projected general revenue that the city would otherwise receive from the annexation area on an annual basis.
(2) The tax authorized
under this section is a credit against the state tax under chapter 82.08 or
82.12 RCW. The department of revenue ((shall)) must perform the
collection of such taxes on behalf of the city at no cost to the city and ((shall))
must remit the tax to the city as provided in RCW 82.14.060.
(3)(a) Except as provided in (b) of this subsection, the maximum rate of tax any city may impose under this section is:
(i) 0.1 percent for each annexed area in which the population is greater than ten thousand and less than twenty thousand. The ten thousand population threshold in this subsection (3)(a)(i) is four thousand for a city with a population between one hundred fifteen thousand and one hundred forty thousand and located within a county with a population over one million five hundred thousand; and
(ii) 0.2 percent for an annexed area in which the population is greater than twenty thousand.
(b) Beginning July 1,

may not exceed five million dollars per fiscal year.
(5) The tax imposed by
this section ((shall)) may only be imposed at the beginning of a

under this section ((shall)) may be used solely to provide,
maintain, and operate municipal services for the annexation area.
(7) The revenues from
the tax authorized in this section may not exceed that which the city deems
necessary to generate revenue equal to the difference between the city's cost
to provide, maintain, and operate municipal services for the annexation area
and the general revenues that the cities would otherwise expect to receive from
the annexation during a year. If the revenues from the tax authorized in this
section and the revenues from the annexation area exceed the costs to the city
to provide, maintain, and operate municipal services for the annexation area
during a given year, the city ((shall)) must notify the department
and the tax distributions authorized in this section ((shall)) must
be suspended for the remainder of the year.

(b) The rate of tax
under this section that ((shall be)) is imposed within the city;
and
(c) The threshold amount for the first fiscal year following the annexation and passage of the ordinance.
(9) The tax ((shall))
must cease to be distributed to the city for the remainder of the fiscal
year once the threshold amount has been reached. No later than March 1st of
each year, the city ((shall)) must provide the department with a
certification of the city's true and actual costs to provide municipal services
to the annexed area, a new threshold amount for the next fiscal year, and
notice of any applicable tax rate changes. Distributions of tax under this

year and continue until the new threshold amount has been reached or June 30th,
whichever is sooner. Any revenue generated by the tax in excess of the
threshold amount ((shall)) belongs to the state of Washington.
Any amount resulting from the threshold amount less the total fiscal year
distributions, as of June 30th, ((shall)) may not be carried
forward to the next fiscal year.
(10) The tax ((shall))
must cease to be distributed to a city imposing the tax under subsection
(3)(b) of this section for the remainder of the fiscal year, if the total

The department shall strive to achieve final action on a submitted master program within one hundred eighty days of receipt and shall post an annual assessment related to this performance benchmark on the agency web site.
(2) Upon receipt of a proposed master program or amendment, the department shall:
(a) Provide notice to and opportunity for written comment by all interested parties of record as a part of the local government review process for the proposal and to all persons, groups, and agencies that have requested in writing notice of proposed master programs or amendments generally or for a specific area, subject matter, or issue. The comment period shall be at least thirty days, unless the department determines that the level of complexity or controversy involved supports a shorter period;
(b) In the department's discretion, conduct a public hearing during the thirty-day comment period in the jurisdiction proposing the master program or amendment;
(c) Within fifteen days after the close of public comment, request the local government to review the issues identified by the public, interested parties, groups, and agencies and provide a written response as to how the proposal addresses the identified issues;
(d) Within thirty days after receipt of the local government response pursuant to (c) of this subsection, make written findings and conclusions regarding the consistency of the proposal with the policy of RCW 90.58.020 and the applicable guidelines, provide a response to the issues identified in (c) of this subsection, and either approve the proposal as submitted, recommend specific changes necessary to make the proposal approvable, or deny approval of the proposal in those instances where no alteration of the proposal appears likely to be consistent with the policy of RCW 90.58.020 and the applicable guidelines.

(6) In the event a local government has not complied with the requirements of RCW 90.58.070 it may thereafter upon written notice to the department elect to adopt a master program for the shorelines within its jurisdiction, in which event it shall comply with the provisions established by this chapter for the adoption of a master program for such shorelines.
Upon approval of such master program by the department it shall supersede such master program as may have been adopted by the department for such shorelines.
(7) A master program or amendment to a master program takes effect when and in such form as approved or adopted by the department. Shoreline master programs that were adopted by the department prior to July 22, 1995, in accordance with the provisions of this section then in effect, shall be deemed approved by the department in accordance with the provisions of this section that became effective on that date. The department shall maintain a record of each master program, the action taken on any proposal for adoption or amendment of the master program, and any appeal of the department's action.

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Kastama: “I’d like to make this a point of personal privilege because I believe that there are things being said on the Senate floor that affect me personally and I’d like to explain to members here about that last speech so that there is absolutely no confusion as to my involvement in state accountability. I asked to be the Chair of the Senate Government Operations, Tribal Relations and Elections Committee. During that time there was a piece of legislation that passed that all state agencies apply for something called the ‘Washington State Quality Award.’ I went ahead and passed that bill. I didn’t know exactly what it was about but frankly I went on from there and I took the classes necessary to become an examiner for the Washington State Quality Awards at my cost and I volunteer for this organization. There are three sources of audits in the State of Washington: the State Auditor, but that’s very infrequent and it’s very subjective; there’s JLARC, which we direct but it’s very expensive; and the third thing is the Washington State Quality Awards, which is a state agency that gets no money from the state. It gets it from its private contributors and it relies on volunteers like myself to take the classes, pay for them and then go out and do examinations of state agencies and companies. That is my involvement with the Washington State Quality Awards so I know it very well. It is a performance audit. It is not just something that you capriciously do. It is where, you have a team of examiners come into your organization. They examine it. The most comprehensive performance audit of any of those other entities that I have mentioned. So, I really, frankly, Mr. President bring this up because I’m offended when people think that there is some personal gain out of that. I volunteer my time. I know it probably better than most people here because I have gone through the classes and training. And yet that Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award criteria-this from the Federal Government-that Washington State Quality Awards use is constantly disparaged in this institution. I challenge anyone here to find better criteria in the world than that. It is by our Commerce Department in Washington D. C. that makes it. It is used by Boeing. It is used by Proctor and Gamble. It is used by my local hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital Multi care. So, this is excellent stuff and I’m tired of it being disparaged in both the House and the Senate. And I’m tired of it being disparaged by cities and counties who do not take the time to learn it. People are fed up with the way government operates., We say it just needs more money. Frankly it needs better performance. It needs better performance measures and this is a good system if not the best way to do it. And frankly Mr. President, that’s why I’m bringing it up because I am tired of these disparaging remarks and I challenge anyone to come forward and refule what I’ve said. Thank you Mr. President.”
MOTION
On motion of Senator Ericksen, Senator Carrell was excused.

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
Substitute Senate Bill No. 5836
April 20, 2011
MR. PRESIDENT:
MR. SPEAKER:
We of your conference committee, to whom was referred Substitute Senate Bill No. 5836, have had the same under consideration and recommend that all previous amendments not be adopted and that the following striking amendment be adopted:
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 46.61.165 and 1999 c 206 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The state department of transportation and the local
authorities are authorized to reserve all or any portion of any highway under
their respective jurisdictions, including any designated lane or ramp, for the
exclusive or preferential use of one or more of the following: (a) Public
transportation vehicles ((or)); (b) private motor vehicles
carrying no fewer than a specified number of passengers; or (c) the
following private transportation provider vehicles if the vehicle has the
capacity to carry eight or more passengers, regardless of the number of
passengers in the vehicle, and if such use does not interfere with the
efficiency, reliability, and safety of public transportation operations: (i)
Auto transportation company vehicles regulated under chapter 81.68 RCW; (ii) passenger
charter carrier vehicles regulated under chapter 81.70 RCW, except marked or
unmarked stretch limousines and stretch sport utility vehicles as defined under
department of licensing rules; (iii) private nonprofit transportation provider
vehicles regulated under chapter 81.66 RCW; and (iv) private employer
transportation service vehicles, when such limitation will increase the
efficient utilization of the highway or will aid in the conservation of energy
resources.
(2) Any transit-only lanes that allow other vehicles to access
abutting businesses that are authorized pursuant to subsection (1) of this
section may not be authorized for the use of private transportation provider
vehicles as described under subsection (1) of this section.
(3) The state department of transportation and the local authorities
authorized to reserve all or any portion of any highway under their respective
jurisdictions, for exclusive or preferential use, may prohibit the use of a
high occupancy vehicle lane by the following private transportation provider
vehicles: (a) Auto transportation company vehicles regulated under chapter
81.68 RCW; (b) passenger charter carrier vehicles regulated under chapter 81.70
RCW, and marked or unmarked limousines and stretch sport utility vehicles as
defined under department of licensing rules; (c) private nonprofit
transportation provider vehicles regulated under chapter 81.66 RCW; and (d)
private employer transportation service vehicles, when the average transit
speed in the high occupancy vehicle lane fails to meet department of
transportation standards and falls below forty-five miles per hour at least
ninety percent of the time during the peak hours, as determined by the
department of transportation or the local authority, whichever operates the
facility.
(4) Regulations authorizing such exclusive or preferential use of
a highway facility may be declared to be effective at all times or at specified
times of day or on specified days. Violation of a restriction of highway usage
prescribed by the appropriate authority under this section is a traffic
infraction.
(5) Local authorities are
encouraged to establish a process for private transportation providers, as
described under subsections (1) and (3) of this section, to apply for the use
of public transportation facilities reserved for the exclusive or preferential
use of public transportation vehicles. The application and review processes
should be uniform and should provide for an expeditious response by the local
authority. Whenever practicable, local authorities should enter into
agreements with such private transportation providers to allow for the
reasonable use of these facilities.
(6) For the purposes of this section, "private employer
transportation service" means regularly scheduled, fixed-route
transportation service that is similarly marked or identified to display the
business name or logo on the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle, meets
the annual certification requirements of the department of transportation, and
is offered by an employer for the benefit of its employees.
Sec. 2. RCW 47.04.290 and 2008 c 257 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Any local transit
agency that has received state funding for a park and ride lot shall make reasonable

regulated under chapter 81.68 RCW ((and)); passenger charter carriers
regulated under chapter 81.70 RCW, except marked or unmarked stretch limousines
and stretch sport utility vehicles as defined under department of licensing
rules; private, nonprofit transportation providers regulated under chapter
81.66 RCW((, that intend to provide or already provide regularly scheduled
service at that lot)); and private employer transportation service
vehicles, provided that such use does not interfere with the efficiency,
reliability, and safety of public transportation operations. The
accommodation must be in the form of an agreement between the applicable local
transit agency and the private ((transit)) transportation
provider ((regulated under chapter 81.68 or 81.66 RCW)). The transit
agency may require that the agreement include provisions to recover actual
costs and fair market value for the use of the lot and its related facilities
and to provide adequate insurance and indemnification of the transit agency,
and other reasonable provisions to ensure that the private ((transit)) transportation
provider's use does not unduly burden the transit agency. The transit
agency may consider benefits to its public transportation system when
establishing an amount to charge for the use of the park and ride lot and its
related facilities. If the agreement includes provisions to recover actual
costs, the private transportation provider is responsible to remit the full
actual costs of park and ride lot use to the appropriate transit agency.
No accommodation is required, and any agreement may be terminated, if the park
and ride lot is at or exceeds ninety percent capacity between the hours of
6:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday for two consecutive months.
Additionally, any agreement may be terminated if the private transportation
provider violates any policies guiding the terms of use of the park and ride
lot. The transit agency may reserve the authority to designate which pick-up
and drop-off zones of the park and ride lot may be used by the private
transportation provider.
(2) A local transit agency described under subsection (1) of this section may enter into a cooperative agreement with a taxicab company regulated under chapter 81.72 RCW in order to accommodate the taxicab company at the agency's park and ride lot, provided the taxicab company must agree to provide service with reasonable availability, subject to schedule coordination provisions as agreed to by the parties.
(3) For the purposes of
this section, "private employer transportation service" means
regularly scheduled, fixed-route transportation service that is similarly
marked or identified to display the business name or logo on the driver and

provider" means:
(a) A company regulated under chapter 81.68 RCW; chapter 81.70 RCW,

as defined under department of licensing rules; and chapter 81.66 RCW; and
(b) An entity providing private employer transportation service.
(5)(a) Local authorities are encouraged to establish a process for
private transportation providers, described under subsections (1) and (4) of
this section, to apply for the use of park and ride facilities.
(b) The process must provide a list of facilities that the local
authority determines to be unavailable for use by the private transportation
provider and must provide the criteria used to reach that determination.
(c) The application and review processes must be uniform and should
provide for an expeditious response by the authority.
(6) The department must convene a stakeholder process that includes
interested public and private transportation providers, which must develop
standard permit forms, clear explanations of permit rate calculations, and
standard indemnification provisions that may be used by all local authorities.

incorporated cities and towns, in addition to the specific powers granted in
this chapter, shall also have, and may exercise, relative to limited access
facilities, any and all additional authority, now or hereafter vested in them
relative to highways or streets within their respective jurisdictions, and may
regulate, restrict, or prohibit the use of such limited access facilities by
various classes of vehicles or traffic. Such highway authorities may reserve
any limited access facility or portions thereof, including designated lanes or
ramps for the exclusive or preferential use of (a) public transportation
vehicles, (b) privately owned buses, ((or)) (c) private
motor vehicles carrying not less than a specified number of passengers, or
(d) the following private transportation provider vehicles if the vehicle has
the capacity to carry eight or more passengers, regardless of the number of
passengers in the vehicle, and if such use does not interfere with the
efficiency, reliability, and safety of public transportation operations: (i)
Auto transportation company vehicles regulated under chapter 81.68 RCW; (ii)

preferential use of a highway facility may be declared to be effective at all
time or at specified times of day or on specified days.

employer for the benefit of its employees.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 47.04 RCW to read as follows:
When designing portions of a highway that are intended to be used as portions reserved for the exclusive or preferential use of public transportation vehicles, state and local jurisdictions shall consider whether the design will safely accommodate private transportation provider vehicles that may be authorized to use the reserved portions under RCW 46.61.165 and 47.52.025 without interfering with the efficiency, reliability, and safety of public transportation operations.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the employer and ferry system employee organizations, through their collective bargaining representatives, shall meet at reasonable times to negotiate in good faith with respect to wages, hours, working conditions, and insurance, and other matters mutually agreed upon. Employer funded retirement benefits shall be provided under the public employees retirement system under chapter 41.40 RCW and shall not be included in the scope of collective bargaining. Except as provided under RCW 47.64.270, the employer is not required to bargain over health care benefits. Any retirement system or retirement benefits shall not be subject to collective bargaining.
(2) Upon ratification of bargaining agreements, ferry employees are entitled to an amount equivalent to the interest earned on retroactive compensation increases. For purposes of this section, the interest earned on retroactive compensation increases is the same monthly rate of interest that was earned on the amount of the compensation increases while held in the state treasury. The interest will be computed for each employee until the date the retroactive compensation is paid, and must be allocated in accordance with appropriation authority. The interest earned on retroactive compensation is not considered part of the ongoing compensation obligation of the state and is not compensation earnable for the purposes of chapter 41.40 RCW. Negotiations shall also include grievance procedures for resolving any questions arising under the agreement, which shall be embodied in a written agreement and signed by the parties.
(3) The employer
shall not bargain over rights of management which, in addition to all powers,

(5) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, if a conflict
exists between an executive order, administrative rule, or agency policy
relating to wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment and a
collective bargaining agreement negotiated under this chapter, the collective
bargaining agreement shall prevail. A provision of a collective bargaining
agreement that conflicts with the terms of a statute is invalid and
unenforceable.
