SECOND READING
ENGROSSED HOUSE BILL NO. 1450, by Representatives Hunt and Pollet
Regarding assessments in public schools.
The bill was read the second time.
Representative Hunt moved the adoption of amendment (573).
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that the superintendent of public instruction was authorized to align the state essential academic learning requirements for mathematics, reading, writing, and communication with the common set of standards for students in grades kindergarten through twelve, known as the common core state standards, which were initiated by the governors and chief school officers of forty-five states, including Washington. The legislature further finds that Washington has joined one of two multistate consortia using a federal grant to develop new English language arts and mathematics assessments in grades three through eight and grade eleven that are, among other factors, aligned with the common core state standards and intended to demonstrate a student's career and college readiness. The legislature further finds that the assessments are required to be ready for use by the 2014-15 school year.
The legislature intends to reduce the overall costs of the state assessment system by implementing the eleventh grade English language arts and mathematics assessments being developed by a multistate consortium in which Washington is participating, maximize use of the consortium assessments by developing a tenth grade high school English language arts assessment and modifying the algebra I and geometry end- of-course assessment to be used only during the transition to the consortium-developed assessments, and reduce to three the number of assessments that will be required for students to graduate beginning with the class of 2019.
The legislature further intends that the eleventh grade consortium- developed assessments have two different student performance standards: One for the purposes of high school graduation that will be established by the state board of education and one that is intended to demonstrate a student's career and college readiness.
Sec. 2. RCW 28A.655.061 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 22 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The high school assessment system shall include but need not be limited to the statewide student assessment, opportunities for a student to retake the content areas of the assessment in which the student was not successful, and, if approved by the legislature pursuant to subsection (10) of this section, one or more objective alternative assessments for a student to demonstrate achievement of state academic standards. The objective alternative assessments for each content area shall be comparable in rigor to the skills and knowledge that the student must demonstrate on the statewide student assessment for each content area.
(2) Subject to the
conditions in this section, a certificate of academic achievement shall be
obtained ((by most students at about the age of sixteen,)) and is
evidence that the students have successfully met the state standard in the
content areas included in the certificate. With the exception of students satisfying
the provisions of RCW 28A.155.045 or 28A.655.0611, acquisition of the
certificate is required for graduation from a public high school but is not the
only requirement for graduation.
(3)(a) Beginning
with the graduating class of 2008 through the graduating class of 2015,
with the exception of students satisfying the provisions of RCW 28A.155.045, a
student who meets the state standards on the reading, writing, and mathematics
((content areas of the)) high school statewide student assessment shall
earn a certificate of academic achievement. The mathematics assessment
shall be the end-of- course assessment for the first year of high school
mathematics that assesses the standards common to algebra I and integrated
mathematics I or the end-of-course assessment for the second year of high
school mathematics that assesses standards common to geometry and integrated
mathematics II.
(b) As the state transitions from reading and writing assessments to
an English language arts assessment and from end-of-course assessments to a
comprehensive assessment for high school mathematics, a student in a graduating
class of 2016 through 2018 shall earn a certificate of academic achievement if
the student meets the state standard as follows:
(i) Students in the graduating class of 2016 may use the results from:
(A) The reading and writing assessment or the English language arts
assessment developed with the multistate consortium; and
(B) The end-of-course assessment for the first year of high school
mathematics, the end-of-course assessment for the second year of high school
mathematics, or the comprehensive mathematics assessment developed with the
multistate consortium.
(ii) Students in the graduating classes of 2017 and 2018 may use the
results from:
(A) The tenth grade English language arts assessment developed by the
superintendent of public instruction using resources from the multistate
consortium or the English language arts assessment developed with the
multistate consortium; and
(B) The end-of-course assessment for the first year of high school
mathematics, the end-of-course assessment for the second year of high school
mathematics, or the comprehensive mathematics assessment developed with the
multistate consortium.
(c) Beginning with the graduating class of 2019, a student who meets
the state standards on the high school English language arts assessment
developed with the multistate consortium and the comprehensive mathematics
assessment developed with the multistate consortium shall earn a certificate of
academic achievement.
(d) If a student does not successfully meet the state standards in
one or more content areas required for the certificate of academic achievement,
then the student may retake the assessment in the content area ((up to four
times)) at least twice a year at no cost to the student. If the
student successfully meets the state standards on a retake of the assessment
then the student shall earn a certificate of academic achievement. Once
objective alternative assessments are authorized pursuant to subsection (10) of
this section, a student may use the objective alternative assessments to
demonstrate that the student successfully meets the state standards for that
content area if the student has taken the statewide student assessment at least
once. If the student successfully meets the state standards on the objective
alternative assessments then the student shall earn a certificate of academic
achievement.
(4) Beginning with the graduating class of 2015, a student must meet the state standards in science in addition to the other content areas required under subsection (3) of this section on the statewide student assessment, a retake, or the objective alternative assessments in order to earn a certificate of academic achievement.
(5) The state board of education may not require the acquisition of the certificate of academic achievement for students in home-based instruction under chapter 28A.200 RCW, for students enrolled in private schools under chapter 28A.195 RCW, or for students satisfying the provisions of RCW 28A.155.045.
(6) A student may retain and use the highest result from each successfully completed content area of the high school assessment.
(7) School districts must make available to students the following options:
(a) To retake the
statewide student assessment ((up to four times)) at least twice a
year in the content areas in which the student did not meet the state
standards if the student is enrolled in a public school; or
(b) To retake the
statewide student assessment ((up to four times)) at least twice a
year in the content areas in which the student did not meet the state
standards if the student is enrolled in a high school completion program at a
community or technical college. The superintendent of public instruction and
the state board for community and technical colleges shall jointly identify
means by which students in these programs can be assessed.
(8) Students who achieve the standard in a content area of the high school assessment but who wish to improve their results shall pay for retaking the assessment, using a uniform cost determined by the superintendent of public instruction.
(9) Opportunities to retake the assessment at least twice a year shall be available to each school district.
(10)(a) The office of the superintendent of public instruction shall develop options for implementing objective alternative assessments, which may include an appeals process for students' scores, for students to demonstrate achievement of the state academic standards. The objective alternative assessments shall be comparable in rigor to the skills and knowledge that the student must demonstrate on the statewide student assessment and be objective in its determination of student achievement of the state standards. Before any objective alternative assessments in addition to those authorized in RCW 28A.655.065 or (b) of this subsection are used by a student to demonstrate that the student has met the state standards in a content area required to obtain a certificate, the legislature shall formally approve the use of any objective alternative assessments through the omnibus appropriations act or by statute or concurrent resolution.
(b)(i) A student's score on the mathematics, reading or English, or writing portion of the SAT or the ACT may be used as an objective alternative assessment under this section for demonstrating that a student has met or exceeded the state standards for the certificate of academic achievement. The state board of education shall identify the scores students must achieve on the relevant portion of the SAT or ACT to meet or exceed the state standard in the relevant content area on the statewide student assessment. A student's score on the science portion of the ACT or the science subject area tests of the SAT may be used as an objective alternative assessment under this section as soon as the state board of education determines that sufficient data is available to identify reliable equivalent scores for the science content area of the statewide student assessment. After the first scores are established, the state board may increase but not decrease the scores required for students to meet or exceed the state standards.
(ii) A student who scores at least a three on the grading scale of one to five for selected AP examinations may use the score as an objective alternative assessment under this section for demonstrating that a student has met or exceeded state standards for the certificate of academic achievement. A score of three on the AP examinations in calculus or statistics may be used as an alternative assessment for the mathematics portion of the statewide student assessment. A score of three on the AP examinations in English language and composition may be used as an alternative assessment for the writing portion of the statewide student assessment; and for the English language arts portion of the assessment developed with the multistate consortium, once established in the 2014-15 school year. A score of three on the AP examinations in English literature and composition, macroeconomics, microeconomics, psychology, United States history, world history, United States government and politics, or comparative government and politics may be used as an alternative assessment for the reading portion of the statewide student assessment; and for the English language arts portion of the assessment developed with the multistate consortium, once established in the 2014-15 school year. A score of three on the AP examination in biology, physics, chemistry, or environmental science may be used as an alternative assessment for the science portion of the statewide student assessment.
(iii) A student who scores at least a four on selected externally administered international baccalaureate (IB) examinations may use the score as an objective alternative assessment under this section for demonstrating that the student has met or exceeded state standards for the certificate of academic achievement. A score of four on the higher level IB examinations for any of the IB English language and literature courses or for any of the IB individuals and societies courses may be used as an alternative assessment for the reading, writing, or English language arts portions of the statewide student assessment. A score of four on the higher level IB examinations for any of the IB mathematics courses may be used as an alternative assessment for the mathematics portion of the statewide student assessment. A score of four on the higher level IB examinations for IB biology, chemistry, or physics may be used as an alternative assessment for the science portion of the statewide student assessment.
(11) ((By December
15, 2004, the house of representatives and senate education committees shall
obtain information and conclusions from recognized, independent, national
assessment experts regarding the validity and reliability of the high school
Washington assessment of student learning for making individual student high
school graduation determinations.
(12))) To help assure continued progress in academic achievement
as a foundation for high school graduation and to assure that students are on
track for high school graduation, each school district shall prepare plans for
and notify students and their parents or legal guardians as provided in this
subsection. Student learning plans are required for eighth grade students who
were not successful on any or all of the content areas of the state assessment
during the previous school year or who may not be on track to graduate due to
credit deficiencies or absences. The parent or legal guardian shall be
notified about the information in the student learning plan, preferably through

student meets the state standard on the mathematics content area of the high
school ((Washington)) statewide student assessment ((of
student learning)) for purposes of RCW 28A.655.061.
(c) The superintendent of public instruction shall also develop subtests for the end-of-course assessments that measure standards for the first two years of high school mathematics that are unique to algebra I, integrated mathematics I, geometry, and integrated mathematics II. The results of the subtests shall be reported at the student, teacher, school, and district level.
(2) ((For the
graduating classes of 2013 and 2014 and for purposes of the certificate of
academic achievement under RCW 28A.655.061, a student may use: (a) Results
from the end-of-course assessment for the first year of high school mathematics
or the results from the end-of- course assessment for the second year of high
school mathematics; or (b) results from a high school mathematics retake
assessment.
(3) Beginning with the graduating class of 2015 and for purposes of
the certificate of academic achievement under RCW 28A.655.061, the mathematics
content area of the Washington assessment of student learning shall be assessed
using the end-of- course assessment for the first year of high school
mathematics plus the end-of-course assessment for the second year of high
school mathematics, or results from a high school mathematics retake assessment
for the end-of-course assessments in which the student did not meet the
standard.
(4))) All of the objective alternative assessments available to
students under RCW 28A.655.061 and 28A.655.065 shall be available to any
student who has taken ((the sequence of)) an end-of-course
assessment((s)) once but does not meet the state mathematics standard on
((the sequence of)) an end-of-course assessment((s)).
(((5))) (3)
The superintendent of public instruction shall report at least annually or more
often if necessary to keep the education committees of the legislature informed
on each step of the development and implementation process under this section.
Sec. 4. RCW 28A.655.068 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 22 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Beginning in the 2011-12 school year, the statewide high school assessment in science shall be an end-of-course assessment for biology that measures the state standards for life sciences, in addition to systems, inquiry, and application as they pertain to life sciences.
(2)(a) The
superintendent of public instruction may develop or adopt science
end-of-course assessments ((in)) or a comprehensive science
assessment that includes subjects in addition to biology for purposes of
RCW 28A.655.061, when so directed by the legislature. The legislature
intends to transition from a biology end-of-course assessment to a more
comprehensive science assessment in a manner consistent with the way in which
the state transitioned to an English language arts assessment and a
comprehensive mathematics assessment. The legislature further intends
that the transition will include at least two years of using the student
assessment results from either the biology end-of-course assessment or the more
comprehensive assessment in order to provide students with reasonable
opportunities to demonstrate high school competencies while being mindful of
the increasing rigor of the new assessment.
(b) The superintendent of public instruction shall develop or adopt a
science assessment in accordance with RCW 28A.655.070(10) that is not biased toward
persons with different learning styles, racial or ethnic backgrounds, or on the
basis of gender.
(c) Before the next subsequent school year after the legislature
directs the superintendent to develop or adopt a new science assessment, the
superintendent of public instruction shall review the objective alternative
assessments for the science assessment and make recommendations to the
legislature regarding additional objective alternatives, if any.
(3) The superintendent of public instruction may participate with consortia of multiple states as common student learning standards and assessments in science are developed. The superintendent of public instruction, in consultation with the state board of education, may modify the essential academic learning requirements and statewide student assessments in science, including the high school assessment, according to the multistate common student learning standards and assessments as long as the education committees of the legislature have opportunities for review before the modifications are adopted, as provided under RCW 28A.655.070.
(4) The statewide high school assessment under this section shall be used to demonstrate that a student meets the state standards in the science content area of the statewide student assessment for purposes of RCW 28A.655.061.
Sec. 5. RCW 28A.655.070 and 2008 c 163 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The superintendent of public instruction shall develop essential academic learning requirements that identify the knowledge and skills all public school students need to know and be able to do based on the student learning goals in RCW 28A.150.210, develop student assessments, and implement the accountability recommendations and requests regarding assistance, rewards, and recognition of the state board of education.
(2) The superintendent of public instruction shall:
(a) Periodically revise the essential academic learning requirements, as needed, based on the student learning goals in RCW 28A.150.210. Goals one and two shall be considered primary. To the maximum extent possible, the superintendent shall integrate goal four and the knowledge and skill areas in the other goals in the essential academic learning requirements; and
(b) Review and prioritize
the essential academic learning requirements and identify, with clear and
concise descriptions, the grade level content expectations to be assessed on
the ((Washington)) statewide student assessment ((of student
learning)) and used for state or federal accountability purposes. The
review, prioritization, and identification shall result in more focus and
targeting with an emphasis on depth over breadth in the number of grade level
content expectations assessed at each grade level. Grade level content
expectations shall be articulated over the grades as a sequence of expectations
and performances that are logical, build with increasing depth after
foundational knowledge and skills are acquired, and reflect, where appropriate,
the sequential nature of the discipline. The office of the superintendent of
public instruction, within seven working days, shall post on its web site any
grade level content expectations provided to an assessment vendor for use in
constructing the ((Washington)) statewide student assessment ((of
student learning)).
(3)(a) In consultation with the state board of education, the superintendent of public instruction shall maintain and continue to develop and revise a statewide academic assessment system in the content areas of reading, writing, mathematics, and science for use in the elementary, middle, and high school years designed to determine if each student has mastered the essential academic learning requirements identified in subsection (1) of this section. School districts shall administer the assessments under guidelines adopted by the superintendent of public instruction. The academic assessment system may include a variety of assessment methods, including criterion- referenced and performance-based measures.
(b) Effective with the 2009 administration of the Washington assessment of student learning and continuing with the statewide student assessment, the superintendent shall redesign the assessment in the content areas of reading, mathematics, and science in all grades except high school by shortening test administration and reducing the number of short answer and extended response questions.
(c) By the 2014-15 school
year, the superintendent of public instruction, in consultation with the state
board of education, shall modify the statewide student assessment system to
transition to assessments developed with a multistate consortium, as provided
in this subsection:

student proficiency in English language arts and mathematics shall be
administered beginning in the 2014-15 school year. The reading and writing
assessments shall not be administered by the superintendent of public
instruction or schools after the 2013-14 school year.
(ii) The high school assessments in English language arts and
mathematics in (c)(i) of this subsection shall be used for the purposes of
earning a certificate of academic achievement for high school graduation under
the timeline established in RCW 28A.655.061 and for assessing student career
and college readiness.
(iii) During the transition period specified in RCW 28A.655.061, the
superintendent of public instruction shall use test items and other resources
from the consortium assessment to develop and administer a tenth grade high
school English language arts assessment, an end-of- course mathematics
assessment to assess the standards common to algebra I and integrated
mathematics I, and an end-of-course mathematics assessment to assess the
standards common to geometry and integrated mathematics II.
(4) If the superintendent proposes any modification to the essential academic learning requirements or the statewide assessments, then the superintendent shall, upon request, provide opportunities for the education committees of the house of representatives and the senate to review the assessments and proposed modifications to the essential academic learning requirements before the modifications are adopted.
(5) The assessment system shall be designed so that the results under the assessment system are used by educators as tools to evaluate instructional practices, and to initiate appropriate educational support for students who have not mastered the essential academic learning requirements at the appropriate periods in the student's educational development.
(6) By September 2007, the results for reading and mathematics shall be reported in a format that will allow parents and teachers to determine the academic gain a student has acquired in those content areas from one school year to the next.
(7) To assist parents and teachers in their efforts to provide educational support to individual students, the superintendent of public instruction shall provide as much individual student performance information as possible within the constraints of the assessment system's item bank. The superintendent shall also provide to school districts:
(a) Information on classroom-based and other assessments that may provide additional achievement information for individual students; and
(b) A collection of diagnostic tools that educators may use to evaluate the academic status of individual students. The tools shall be designed to be inexpensive, easily administered, and quickly and easily scored, with results provided in a format that may be easily shared with parents and students.
(8) To the maximum extent possible, the superintendent shall integrate knowledge and skill areas in development of the assessments.
(9) Assessments for goals three and four of RCW 28A.150.210 shall be integrated in the essential academic learning requirements and assessments for goals one and two.
(10) The superintendent shall develop assessments that are directly related to the essential academic learning requirements, and are not biased toward persons with different learning styles, racial or ethnic backgrounds, or on the basis of gender.
(11) The superintendent shall consider methods to address the unique needs of special education students when developing the assessments under this section.
(12) The superintendent shall consider methods to address the unique needs of highly capable students when developing the assessments under this section.
(13) The superintendent shall post on the superintendent's web site lists of resources and model assessments in social studies, the arts, and health and fitness.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. By December 1, 2013, the superintendent of public instruction shall report to the education committees of the house of representatives and the senate on the process that was used by the superintendent, the multistate consortium in which Washington is participating, and by other states, to prevent bias in the state assessments and assure fairness to students who take the assessments.
Sec. 7. RCW 28A.305.130 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 6 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
The purpose of the state board of education is to provide advocacy and strategic oversight of public education; implement a standards- based accountability framework that creates a unified system of increasing levels of support for schools in order to improve student academic achievement; provide leadership in the creation of a system that personalizes education for each student and respects diverse cultures, abilities, and learning styles; and promote achievement of the goals of RCW 28A.150.210. In addition to any other powers and duties as provided by law, the state board of education shall:
(1) Hold regularly scheduled meetings at such time and place within the state as the board shall determine and may hold such special meetings as may be deemed necessary for the transaction of public business;
(2) Form committees as necessary to effectively and efficiently conduct the work of the board;
(3) Seek advice from the public and interested parties regarding the work of the board;
(4) For purposes of statewide accountability:
(a) Adopt and revise performance improvement goals in reading, writing, science, and mathematics, by subject and grade level, once assessments in these subjects are required statewide; academic and technical skills, as appropriate, in secondary career and technical education programs; and student attendance, as the board deems appropriate to improve student learning. The goals shall be consistent with student privacy protection provisions of RCW 28A.655.090(7) and shall not conflict with requirements contained in Title I of the federal elementary and secondary education act of 1965, or the requirements of the Carl D. Perkins vocational education act of 1998, each as amended. The goals may be established for all students, economically disadvantaged students, limited English proficient students, students with disabilities, and students from disproportionately academically underachieving racial and ethnic backgrounds. The board may establish school and school district goals addressing high school graduation rates and dropout reduction goals for students in grades seven through twelve. The board shall adopt the goals by rule. However, before each goal is implemented, the board shall present the goal to the education committees of the house of representatives and the senate for the committees' review and comment in a time frame that will permit the legislature to take statutory action on the goal if such action is deemed warranted by the legislature;
(b)(i) Identify the scores students must achieve in order to meet the standard on the statewide student assessment and, for high school students, to obtain a certificate of academic achievement. The board shall also determine student scores that identify levels of student performance below and beyond the standard. The board shall consider the incorporation of the standard error of measurement into the decision regarding the award of the certificates. The board shall set such performance standards and levels in consultation with the superintendent of public instruction and after consideration of any recommendations that may be developed by any advisory committees that may be established for this purpose.
(ii) By the end of the
2014-15 school year, establish the scores students must achieve to meet the
standard and earn a certificate of academic achievement on the tenth grade
English language arts assessment and the end-of-course mathematics assessments
developed in accordance with RCW 28A.655.070 to be used as the state
transitions to high school assessments developed with a multistate consortium.
(iii) By the end of the 2014-15 school year, establish the scores
students must achieve to meet the standard and earn a certificate of academic
achievement on the high school English language arts assessment and the
comprehensive mathematics assessment developed with a multistate consortium in
accordance with RCW 28A.655.070. To determine the appropriate score, the state
board shall review the transition experience of Washington students to the
consortium- developed assessments, examine the student scores used in other
states that are administering the consortium-developed assessments, and review
the scores in other states that require passage of an eleventh grade assessment
as a high school graduation requirement. The scores established by the state
board of education for the purposes of earning a certificate of academic
achievement and graduation from high school may be different from the scores
used for the purpose of determining a student's career and college readiness.
(iv) The legislature shall be advised of the initial performance
standards for the high school statewide student assessment. Any changes
recommended by the board in the performance standards for the high school
assessment shall be presented to the education committees of the house of
representatives and the senate by November 30th of the school year in which the
changes will take place to permit the legislature to take statutory action
before the changes are implemented if such action is deemed warranted by the
legislature. The legislature shall be advised of the initial performance
standards and any changes made to the elementary level performance standards
and the middle school level performance standards. The board must provide an
explanation of and rationale for all initial performance standards and any
changes, for all grade levels of the statewide student assessment. If the
board changes the performance standards for any grade level or subject, the
superintendent of public instruction must recalculate the results from the
previous ten years of administering that assessment regarding students below,
meeting, and beyond the state standard, to the extent that this data is
available, and post a comparison of the original and recalculated results on
the superintendent's web site;
(c) Annually review the assessment reporting system to ensure fairness, accuracy, timeliness, and equity of opportunity, especially with regard to schools with special circumstances and unique populations of students, and a recommendation to the superintendent of public instruction of any improvements needed to the system; and
(d) Include in the biennial report required under RCW 28A.305.035, information on the progress that has been made in achieving goals adopted by the board;
(5) Accredit, subject to such accreditation standards and procedures as may be established by the state board of education, all private schools that apply for accreditation, and approve, subject to the provisions of RCW 28A.195.010, private schools carrying out a program for any or all of the grades kindergarten through twelve. However, no private school may be approved that operates a kindergarten program only and no private school shall be placed upon the list of accredited schools so long as secret societies are knowingly allowed to exist among its students by school officials;
(6) Articulate with the institutions of higher education, workforce representatives, and early learning policymakers and providers to coordinate and unify the work of the public school system;
(7) Hire an executive director and an administrative assistant to reside in the office of the superintendent of public instruction for administrative purposes. Any other personnel of the board shall be appointed as provided by RCW 28A.300.020. The board may delegate to the executive director by resolution such duties as deemed necessary to efficiently carry on the business of the board including, but not limited to, the authority to employ necessary personnel and the authority to enter into, amend, and terminate contracts on behalf of the board. The executive director, administrative assistant, and all but one of the other personnel of the board are exempt from civil service, together with other staff as now or hereafter designated as exempt in accordance with chapter 41.06 RCW; and
(8) Adopt a seal that shall be kept in the office of the superintendent of public instruction.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 8. A new section is added to chapter 28A.320 RCW to read as follows:

Sec. 2. RCW 9.94A.729 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 40 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:
(1)(a) The term of the sentence of an offender committed to a correctional facility operated by the department may be reduced by earned release time in accordance with procedures that shall be developed and adopted by the correctional agency having jurisdiction in which the offender is confined. The earned release time shall be for good behavior and good performance, as determined by the correctional agency having jurisdiction. The correctional agency shall not credit the offender with earned release credits in advance of the offender actually earning the credits.
(b) Any program
established pursuant to this section shall allow an offender to earn early
release credits for presentence incarceration. If an offender is transferred
from a county jail to the department, the administrator of a county jail
facility shall certify to the department the amount of time spent in custody at
the facility and the ((amount)) number of days of ((earned))
early release ((time)) credits lost or not earned. The
department may approve a jail certification from a correctional agency that
calculates ((earned)) early release time based on the actual
amount of confinement time served by the offender before sentencing when an
erroneous calculation of confinement time served by the offender before
sentencing appears on the judgment and sentence. The department must adjust
an offender's rate of early release listed on the jail certification to be
consistent with the rate applicable to offenders in the department's
facilities. However, the department is not authorized to adjust the number of
presentence early release days that the jail has certified as lost or not
earned.
(2) An offender who has been convicted of a felony committed after July 23, 1995, that involves any applicable deadly weapon enhancements under RCW 9.94A.533 (3) or (4), or both, shall not receive any good time credits or earned release time for that portion of his or her sentence that results from any deadly weapon enhancements.
(3) An offender may earn early release time as follows:
(a) In the case of an offender convicted of a serious violent offense, or a sex offense that is a class A felony, committed on or after July 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003, the aggregate earned release time may not exceed fifteen percent of the sentence.
(b) In the case of an offender convicted of a serious violent offense, or a sex offense that is a class A felony, committed on or after July 1, 2003, the aggregate earned release time may not exceed ten percent of the sentence.
(c) An offender is qualified to earn up to fifty percent of aggregate earned release time if he or she:
(i) Is not classified as an offender who is at a high risk to reoffend as provided in subsection (4) of this section;
(ii) Is not confined pursuant to a sentence for:
(A) A sex offense;
(B) A violent offense;

(d) In no other case shall the aggregate earned release time exceed one-third of the total sentence.
(4) The department shall perform a risk assessment of each offender who may qualify for earned early release under subsection (3)(c) of this section utilizing the risk assessment tool recommended by the Washington state institute for public policy. Subsection (3)(c) of this section does not apply to offenders convicted after July 1, 2010.
(5)(a) A person who is eligible for earned early release as provided in this section and who will be supervised by the department pursuant to RCW 9.94A.501 or 9.94A.5011, shall be transferred to community custody in lieu of earned release time;
(b) The department shall, as a part of its program for release to the community in lieu of earned release, require the offender to propose a release plan that includes an approved residence and living arrangement. All offenders with community custody terms eligible for release to community custody in lieu of earned release shall provide an approved residence and living arrangement prior to release to the community;
(c) The department may deny transfer to community custody in lieu of earned release time if the department determines an offender's release plan, including proposed residence location and living arrangements, may violate the conditions of the sentence or conditions of supervision, place the offender at risk to violate the conditions of the sentence, place the offender at risk to reoffend, or present a risk to victim safety or community safety. The department's authority under this section is independent of any court-ordered condition of sentence or statutory provision regarding conditions for community custody;
(d) If the department is unable to approve the offender's release plan, the department may do one or more of the following:
(i) Transfer an offender to partial confinement in lieu of earned early release for a period not to exceed three months.

(e) For each offender who is the recipient of a rental voucher, the department shall include, concurrent with the data that the department otherwise obtains and records, the housing status of the offender for the duration of the offender's supervision.
(6) An offender serving a term of confinement imposed under RCW 9.94A.670(5)(a) is not eligible for earned release credits under this section.
Sec. 3. RCW 9.92.151 and 2009 c 28 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, the sentence of a prisoner confined in a county jail facility for a felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor conviction may be reduced by earned release credits in accordance with procedures that shall be developed and promulgated by the correctional agency having jurisdiction. The earned early release time shall be for good behavior and good performance as determined by the correctional agency having jurisdiction. Any program established pursuant to this section shall allow an offender to earn early release credits for presentence incarceration. The correctional agency shall not credit the offender with earned early release credits in advance of the offender actually earning the credits. In the case of an offender convicted of a serious violent offense or a sex offense that is a class A felony committed on or after July 1, 1990, the aggregate earned early release time may not exceed fifteen percent of the sentence. In no other case may the aggregate earned early release time exceed one-third of the total sentence.
(2) An offender serving a term of confinement imposed under RCW 9.94A.670(5)(a) is not eligible for earned release credits under this section.
(3) If an offender is transferred from a county jail to the department, the administrator of a county jail facility shall certify to the department the amount of time spent in custody at the facility and the number of days of early release credits lost or not earned.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. Pursuant to RCW 9.94A.729, the department shall recalculate the earned release date for any offender currently serving a term in a facility or institution either operated by the state or utilized under contract. The earned release date shall be recalculated whether the offender is currently incarcerated or is sentenced after the effective date of this section, and regardless of the offender's date of offense. For offenders whose offense was committed prior to the effective date of this section, the recalculation shall not extend a term of incarceration beyond that to which an offender is currently subject.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. The legislature declares that section 4 of this act does not create any liberty interest. The department is authorized to take the time reasonably necessary to complete the recalculations of section 4 of this act after the effective date of this section.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. Section 1 of this act applies to sentences imposed on or after July 1, 2013, regardless of the date of offense.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 7. If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 8. This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect July 1, 2013."
Correct the title.
Representative Alexander moved the adoption of amendment (570) to the striking amendment (537).
On page 5, after line 31 of the amendment, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. (1)(a) The department must, in consultation with the caseload forecast council, compile the following information in summary form for the two years prior to and after the effective date of this section: For offenders sentenced under RCW 9.94A.517 for a seriousness level I offense where the offender score is three to five: (A) The total number of sentences and the average length of sentence imposed, sorted by sentences served in state versus local correctional facilities; (B) the number of current and prior felony convictions for each offender; (C) the estimated cost or cost savings, total and per offender, to the state and local governments from the change to the maximum sentence pursuant to RCW 9.94A.517(1); and (D) the number of offenders who were sentenced to community custody, the number of violations committed on community custody, and any sanctions imposed for such violations.

SECOND ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5892, as amended by the House, having received the necessary constitutional majority, was declared passed.
HOUSE BILL NO. 2043, by Representatives Hunter and Sullivan
Temporarily suspending inflationary increases in educational employee compensation.

POINT OF PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
Representative Stonier: “Apart from my duties as a legislator, I am a certificated educational instructor employed by the Evergreen School District. House Bill 2043 affects compensation for educational staff, including certificated K-12 instructors. Do I have a private interest in the proposed legislation which requires my recusal from voting?”
SPEAKER’S RULING
Mr. Speaker: “Thank you Representative Stonier for bringing this question to the body. House Rule 19 (D), which is based on article 2, section 30 of our state constitution, states that “no member shall vote on any question which affects that member privately or particularly.” The Washington Legislature is, by constitutional design, a citizen legislature.
The design is based on the premise that the people of our state are best represented by legislators who are currently engaged in outside employment and activities, and can bring real-world experience and expertise to bear on the issues before this body.
The question as to whether outside employment and activities require recusal from voting turns on whether a legislator is affected privately or particularly, or as a member of a class.
House Bill 2043 temporarily suspends the state’s obligation to provide cost of living increases to K-12 and higher education staff as required by Initiative 732. According to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, there are more than 60,000 certified K-12 instructional staff in Washington. Representative Stonier, given the size of the class of persons affected, the Speaker finds that the interest you have is neither private nor particular, and does not warrant your recusal under House Rules of the State Constitution.”
POINT OF PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
Representative Bergquist “Apart from my duties as a legislator, I am a certificated teacher employed by the Renton School District. House Bill 2043 affects compensation for educational staff, including certificated K-12 instructors. Do I have a private interest in the proposed legislation which requires my recusal from voting?”
SPEAKER’S RULING
Mr. Speaker: “Thank you Representative Bergquist for bringing this question to the body. The Speaker finds that the interest you have is neither private nor particular, and does not warrant your recusal under House Rules or the State Constitution, for the same reasons as expressed in response to the question posed by Representative Stonier.”
The Speaker (Representative Moeller presiding) stated the question before the House to be the final passage of House Bill No. 2043.
