MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 82.32 RCW to read as follows:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, every new tax preference expires on the first day of the calendar year that is subsequent to the calendar year that is ten years from the effective date of the bill. With respect to any property tax exemption, the exemption does not apply to taxes levied for collection beginning in the calendar year that is subsequent to the calendar year that is ten years from the effective date of the bill.
(2) Subsection (1) of this section does not apply if legislation creating a new tax preference includes an expiration date for the new tax preference.
(3) Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to any existing tax preference that is amended to clarify an ambiguity or correct a technical inconsistency.
(4) For the purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:
(a) "New tax preference" means a tax preference that initially took effect after August 1, 2013, or a tax preference in effect as of August 1, 2013, that is expanded or extended after August 1, 2013.
(b) "Tax preference" has the same meaning as in RCW 43.136.021 with respect to any state tax under this title and Title 84 RCW.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 82.32 RCW to read as follows:
(1) As provided in this section, every bill enacting a new tax preference must include a tax preference performance statement.
(2) A tax preference performance statement must state the legislative purpose for the new tax preference. The tax preference performance statement must indicate one or more of the following general categories, by reference to the applicable category specified in this subsection, as the legislative purpose of the new tax preference:
(a) Tax preferences intended to induce certain designated behavior by taxpayers;
(b) Tax preferences intended to improve industry competitiveness;
(c) Tax preferences intended to create or retain jobs;
(d) Tax preferences intended to reduce structural inefficiencies in the tax structure;
(e) Tax preferences intended to provide tax relief for certain businesses or individuals; or
(f) Tax preferences intended to achieve a general purpose not identified in (a) through (e) of this subsection.

(6) Taxpayers claiming a new tax preference impacting any tax under this title must report the amount of the tax preference claimed by the taxpayer to the department as part of the taxpayer's regular tax reporting responsibilities under this chapter.

For a new sales and use tax exemption, the total taxable sales subject to the exemption claimed by the taxpayer must be reported on an addendum to the taxpayer's tax return.

Good cause may be demonstrated by a reasonable showing of economic harm to a taxpayer if the information specified under this subsection is disclosed. Taxpayers may request the department to treat the amount of the tax preference claimed by a taxpayer during a calendar year as confidential under RCW 82.32.330 if the amount for the calendar year is less than ten thousand dollars.
(8) If a new tax preference does not include the information required under subsections (2) through (4) of this section, the joint legislative audit and review committee is not required to perform a tax preference review under chapter 43.136 RCW, and it is legislatively presumed that it is the intent of the legislature to allow the new tax preference to expire upon its scheduled expiration date.

If the amount of the tax preference claimed as reported on the survey is different than the amount actually claimed or otherwise allowed by the department based on the taxpayer's excise tax returns or other information known to the department, the amount actually claimed or allowed may be disclosed. For any new tax preference, as defined in section 1 of this act, all information collected under this section may be disclosed to the public upon request and is not subject to the confidentiality provisions of RCW 82.32.330.
(5) Persons for whom the
actual amount of the tax reduced or saved is less than ten thousand dollars
during the period covered by the survey may request the department to treat ((the
amount of the tax reduction or savings)) all information collected under
this section as confidential under RCW 82.32.330.
(6)(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, if a person claims a tax preference that requires an annual survey under this section but fails to submit a complete annual survey by the due date of the survey or any extension under RCW 82.32.590, the department must declare the amount of the tax preference claimed for the previous calendar year to be immediately due. If the tax preference is a deferral of tax, twelve and one‑half percent of the deferred tax is immediately due. If the economic benefits of the deferral are passed to a lessee, the lessee is responsible for payment to the extent the lessee has received the economic benefit.
(b) The department must assess interest, but not penalties, on the amounts due under this subsection. The interest must be assessed at the rate provided for delinquent taxes under this chapter, retroactively to the date the tax preference was claimed, and accrues until the taxes for which the tax preference was claimed are repaid. Amounts due under this subsection are not subject to the confidentiality provisions of RCW 82.32.330 and may be disclosed to the public upon request.
(7) The department must use the information from this section to prepare summary descriptive statistics by category. No fewer than three taxpayers may be included in any category. The department must report these statistics to the legislature each year by October 1st.

Concerning prescription review for medicaid managed care enrollees. Revised for 2nd Substitute: Concerning prescription review for medicaid managed care enrollees. (REVISED FOR PASSED LEGISLATURE: Concerning medication management services for medicaid managed care enrollees. )
The bill was read the second time.
Representative Cody moved the adoption of amendment (464).
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 74.09 RCW to read as follows:
The legislature finds that chronic care management, including comprehensive medication management services, provided by licensed pharmacists and qualified providers is a critical component of a collaborative, multidisciplinary, inter-professional approach to the treatment of chronic diseases for targeted individuals, to improve the quality of care and reduce overall cost in the treatment of such diseases.
Sec. 2. RCW 74.09.522 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 15 s 29, 2011 1st sp.s. c 9 s 2, and 2011 c 316 s 4 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
(1) For the purposes of this section:
(a) "Managed health care system" means any health care organization, including health care providers, insurers, health care service contractors, health maintenance organizations, health insuring organizations, or any combination thereof, that provides directly or by contract health care services covered under this chapter and rendered by licensed providers, on a prepaid capitated basis and that meets the requirements of section 1903(m)(1)(A) of Title XIX of the federal social security act or federal demonstration waivers granted under section 1115(a) of Title XI of the federal social security act;
(b) "Nonparticipating provider" means a person, health care provider, practitioner, facility, or entity, acting within their scope of practice, that does not have a written contract to participate in a managed health care system's provider network, but provides health care services to enrollees of programs authorized under this chapter whose health care services are provided by the managed health care system.
(2) The authority shall enter into agreements with managed health care systems to provide health care services to recipients of temporary assistance for needy families under the following conditions:
(a) Agreements shall be made for at least thirty thousand recipients statewide;
(b) Agreements in at least one county shall include enrollment of all recipients of temporary assistance for needy families;
(c) To the extent that this provision is consistent with section 1903(m) of Title XIX of the federal social security act or federal demonstration waivers granted under section 1115(a) of Title XI of the federal social security act, recipients shall have a choice of systems in which to enroll and shall have the right to terminate their enrollment in a system: PROVIDED, That the authority may limit recipient termination of enrollment without cause to the first month of a period of enrollment, which period shall not exceed twelve months: AND PROVIDED FURTHER, That the authority shall not restrict a recipient's right to terminate enrollment in a system for good cause as established by the authority by rule;
(d) To the extent that this provision is consistent with section 1903(m) of Title XIX of the federal social security act, participating managed health care systems shall not enroll a disproportionate number of medical assistance recipients within the total numbers of persons served by the managed health care systems, except as authorized by the authority under federal demonstration waivers granted under section 1115(a) of Title XI of the federal social security act;
(e)(i) In negotiating
with managed health care systems the authority shall adopt a uniform procedure
to enter into contractual arrangements, to be included in contracts issued or
renewed on or after January 1, ((2012)) 2015, including:
(A) Standards regarding the quality of services to be provided;
(B) The financial integrity of the responding system;
(C) Provider reimbursement methods that incentivize chronic care management within health homes, including comprehensive medication management services for patients with multiple chronic conditions consistent with the findings and goals established in section 1 of this act;
(D) Provider
reimbursement methods that reward health homes that, by using chronic care
management, reduce emergency department and inpatient use; ((and))
(E) Promoting provider
participation in the program of training and technical assistance regarding
care of people with chronic conditions described in RCW 43.70.533, including
allocation of funds to support provider participation in the training, unless
the managed care system is an integrated health delivery system that has
programs in place for chronic care management;
(F) Provider reimbursement methods within the medical billing
processes that incentivize pharmacists or other qualified providers licensed in
Washington state to provide comprehensive medication management services
consistent with the findings and goals established in section 1 of this act;
and
(G) Evaluation and reporting on the impact of comprehensive medication
management services on patient clinical outcomes and total health care costs,
including reductions in emergency department utilization, hospitalization, and
drug costs.
(ii)(A) Health home services contracted for under this subsection may be prioritized to enrollees with complex, high cost, or multiple chronic conditions.
(B) Contracts that
include the items in (e)(i)(C) through (((E))) (G) of this
subsection must not exceed the rates that would be paid in the absence of these
provisions;
(f) The authority shall seek waivers from federal requirements as necessary to implement this chapter;
(g) The authority shall, wherever possible, enter into prepaid capitation contracts that include inpatient care. However, if this is not possible or feasible, the authority may enter into prepaid capitation contracts that do not include inpatient care;
(h) The authority shall define those circumstances under which a managed health care system is responsible for out-of-plan services and assure that recipients shall not be charged for such services;
(i) Nothing in this section prevents the authority from entering into similar agreements for other groups of people eligible to receive services under this chapter; and
(j) The ((department))
authority must consult with the federal center for medicare and medicaid
innovation and seek funding opportunities to support health homes.
(3) The authority shall ensure that publicly supported community health centers and providers in rural areas, who show serious intent and apparent capability to participate as managed health care systems are seriously considered as contractors. The authority shall coordinate its managed care activities with activities under chapter 70.47 RCW.
(4) The authority shall work jointly with the state of Oregon and other states in this geographical region in order to develop recommendations to be presented to the appropriate federal agencies and the United States congress for improving health care of the poor, while controlling related costs.
(5) The legislature finds that competition in the managed health care marketplace is enhanced, in the long term, by the existence of a large number of managed health care system options for medicaid clients. In a managed care delivery system, whose goal is to focus on prevention, primary care, and improved enrollee health status, continuity in care relationships is of substantial importance, and disruption to clients and health care providers should be minimized. To help ensure these goals are met, the following principles shall guide the authority in its healthy options managed health care purchasing efforts:
(a) All managed health care systems should have an opportunity to contract with the authority to the extent that minimum contracting requirements defined by the authority are met, at payment rates that enable the authority to operate as far below appropriated spending levels as possible, consistent with the principles established in this section.
(b) Managed health care systems should compete for the award of contracts and assignment of medicaid beneficiaries who do not voluntarily select a contracting system, based upon:
(i) Demonstrated commitment to or experience in serving low-income populations;
(ii) Quality of services provided to enrollees;
(iii) Accessibility, including appropriate utilization, of services offered to enrollees;
(iv) Demonstrated capability to perform contracted services, including ability to supply an adequate provider network;
(v) Payment rates; and
(vi) The ability to meet other specifically defined contract requirements established by the authority, including consideration of past and current performance and participation in other state or federal health programs as a contractor.
(c) Consideration should be given to using multiple year contracting periods.
(d) Quality, accessibility, and demonstrated commitment to serving low-income populations shall be given significant weight in the contracting, evaluation, and assignment process.
(e) All contractors that are regulated health carriers must meet state minimum net worth requirements as defined in applicable state laws. The authority shall adopt rules establishing the minimum net worth requirements for contractors that are not regulated health carriers. This subsection does not limit the authority of the Washington state health care authority to take action under a contract upon finding that a contractor's financial status seriously jeopardizes the contractor's ability to meet its contract obligations.
(f) Procedures for resolution of disputes between the authority and contract bidders or the authority and contracting carriers related to the award of, or failure to award, a managed care contract must be clearly set out in the procurement document.
(6) The authority may apply the principles set forth in subsection (5) of this section to its managed health care purchasing efforts on behalf of clients receiving supplemental security income benefits to the extent appropriate.
(7) A managed health care system shall pay a nonparticipating provider that provides a service covered under this chapter to the system's enrollee no more than the lowest amount paid for that service under the managed health care system's contracts with similar providers in the state.
(8) For services covered under this chapter to medical assistance or medical care services enrollees and provided on or after August 24, 2011, nonparticipating providers must accept as payment in full the amount paid by the managed health care system under subsection (7) of this section in addition to any deductible, coinsurance, or copayment that is due from the enrollee for the service provided. An enrollee is not liable to any nonparticipating provider for covered services, except for amounts due for any deductible, coinsurance, or copayment under the terms and conditions set forth in the managed health care system contract to provide services under this section.
(9) Pursuant to federal managed care access standards, 42 C.F.R. Sec. 438, managed health care systems must maintain a network of appropriate providers that is supported by written agreements sufficient to provide adequate access to all services covered under the contract with the department, including hospital-based physician services. The department will monitor and periodically report on the proportion of services provided by contracted providers and nonparticipating providers, by county, for each managed health care system to ensure that managed health care systems are meeting network adequacy requirements. No later than January 1st of each year, the department will review and report its findings to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the legislature for the preceding state fiscal year.
(10) Subsections (7) through (9) of this section expire July 1, 2016."

"Sec. 401. RCW 82.08.0273 and 2011 c 7 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Subject to the
conditions and limitations in this section, an exemption from the tax
levied by RCW 82.08.020 ((does not apply to)) in the form of a
remittance from the department is provided for sales to nonresidents of
this state of tangible personal property, digital goods, and digital codes((,
when)). The exemption only applies if:
(a) The property is for use outside this state;
(b) The purchaser is a bona fide resident of a province or territory of Canada or a state, territory, or possession of the United States, other than the state of Washington; and
(i) Such state, possession, territory, or province does not impose, or have imposed on its behalf, a generally applicable retail sales tax, use tax, value added tax, gross receipts tax on retailing activities, or similar generally applicable tax, of three percent or more; or
(ii) If imposing a tax described in (b)(i) of this subsection, provides an exemption for sales to Washington residents by reason of their residence; and

(3)(a) Any person claiming
exemption from retail sales tax under the provisions of this section must ((display
proof of his or her current nonresident status as provided in this section))
pay the state and local sales tax to the seller at the time of purchase and
then request a remittance from the department in accordance with this
subsection and subsection (4) of this section. A request for remittance must
include proof of the person's status as a nonresident at the time of the
purchase for which a remittance is requested. The request for a remittance
must also include any additional information and documentation as required by
the department, which may include a description of the item purchased for which
a remittance is requested, the sales price of the item, the amount of state and
local sales tax paid on the item, the date of the purchase, the name of the
seller and the physical address where the sale took place, and copies of sales
receipts showing the qualified purchases.
(b) Acceptable proof of a nonresident person's status includes one piece of identification such as a valid driver's license from the jurisdiction in which the out-of-state residency is claimed or a valid identification card which has a photograph of the holder and is issued by the out-of-state jurisdiction. Identification under this subsection (3)(b) must show the holder's residential address and have as one of its legal purposes the establishment of residency in that out-of-state jurisdiction.

(4)(a) ((Nothing in
this section requires the vendor to make tax exempt retail sales to
nonresidents. A vendor may choose to make sales to nonresidents, collect the
sales tax, and remit the amount of sales tax collected to the state as
otherwise provided by law. If the vendor chooses to make a sale to a
nonresident without collecting the sales tax, the vendor must examine the
purchaser's proof of nonresidence, determine whether the proof is acceptable
under subsection (3)(b) of this section, and maintain records for each nontaxable
sale which shall show the type of proof accepted, including any identification
numbers where appropriate, and the expiration date, if any.
(b) In lieu of using the method provided in (a) of this subsection to
document an exempt sale to a nonresident, a seller may accept from the
purchaser a properly completed uniform exemption certificate approved by the
streamlined sales and use tax agreement governing board or any other exemption
certificate as may be authorized by the department and properly completed by
the purchaser. A nonresident purchaser who uses an exemption certificate
authorized in this subsection (4)(b) must include the purchaser's driver's
license number or other state-issued identification number and the state of
issuance.
(c) In lieu of using the methods provided in (a) and (b) of this
subsection to document an exempt sale to a nonresident, a seller may capture
the relevant data elements as allowed under the streamlined sales and use tax
agreement.
(5)(a) Any person making fraudulent statements, which includes the
offer of fraudulent identification or fraudulently procured identification to a
vendor, in order to purchase goods without paying retail sales tax is guilty of
perjury under chapter 9A.72 RCW.
(b) Any person making tax exempt purchases under this section by
displaying proof of identification not his or her own, or counterfeit
identification, with intent to violate the provisions of this section, is
guilty of a misdemeanor and, in addition, is liable for the tax and subject to a
penalty equal to the greater of one hundred dollars or the tax due on such
purchases.
(6)(a) Any vendor who makes sales without collecting the tax and who
fails to maintain records of sales to nonresidents as provided in this section
is personally liable for the amount of tax due.
(b) Any vendor who makes sales without collecting the retail sales tax
under this section and who has actual knowledge that the purchaser's proof of
identification establishing out-of-state residency is fraudulent is guilty of a
misdemeanor and, in addition, is liable for the tax and subject to a penalty
equal to the greater of one thousand dollars or the tax due on such sales. In
addition, both the purchaser and the vendor are liable for any penalties and
interest assessable under chapter 82.32 RCW.)) (i) Beginning January 1,
2014, through December 31, 2014, a person may request a remittance from the
department for state and local sales taxes paid by the person on qualified
retail purchases made in Washington between July 1, 2013, and December 31,
2013.
(ii) Beginning January 1, 2014, a person may request a remittance from
the department during any calendar year for state and local sales taxes paid by
the person on qualified retail purchases made in Washington during the immediately
preceding calendar year only. No application may be made with respect to
purchases made before the immediately preceding calendar year.
(b) The remittance request, including proof of nonresident status and
any other documentation and information required by the department, must be
made using an electronic application process as prescribed by the department.
Only one remittance request may be made by a person per calendar year.
(c) The total amount of a remittance request must be at least twenty-five
dollars. The department must deny any request for a remittance that is less
than twenty-five dollars.
(d) The department will examine the applicant's proof of nonresident
status and any other documentation and information as required in the application
to determine whether the applicant is entitled to a remittance under this
section.
(5)(a) Any person making fraudulent statements to the department,
which includes the offer of fraudulent or fraudulently procured identification
or fraudulent sales receipts, in order to receive a remittance of retail sales
tax is guilty of perjury under chapter 9A.72 RCW.
(b) Any person requesting a remittance of sales tax from the
department by providing proof of identification or sales receipts not the
person's own, or counterfeit identification or sales receipts, with intent to
violate the provisions of this section, is guilty of a misdemeanor and, in
addition, is liable for the tax and subject to a penalty equal to the greater
of one hundred dollars or the tax due on such purchases.
(6) The exemption provided by this section is for both state and local
sales taxes. For purposes of this section, "local sales tax" means a
sales tax imposed by a local government under the authority of chapter 82.14
RCW, RCW 81.104.170, or other provision of law, and which is imposed on the
same taxable event as the state sales tax imposed in this chapter.
(7) A nonresident who receives a refund of sales tax from the seller
for any reason with respect to a purchase made in this state is not entitled to
a remittance for the tax paid on the purchase. A person who receives both a
remittance under this section and a refund from the seller with respect to the
same purchase must immediately repay the remittance to the department.
Interest as provided in chapter 82.32 RCW applies to amounts due under this
section from the date that the department made the remittance until the amount
due under this subsection is paid to the department. A person who receives a
remittance with respect to a purchase for which the person had, at the time the
person submitted the application for a remittance, already received a refund of
sales tax from the seller is also liable for the evasion penalty in RCW
82.32.090(7) and is ineligible to receive any further remittances from the
department under this section."
