"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) The legislature finds that:
(a) Washington's unemployment rate during the recent recession created economic and social hardships for the people of the state;
(b) Local start-up companies and small businesses are likely, as they grow, to remain in their communities of origin, thereby creating local jobs and an economic multiplier effect with their payrolls and taxes while providing local economic stimuli, which increases the local tax base;
(c) Statewide economic prosperity and job creation are advanced significantly by creating, promoting, and retaining local start-up companies and small businesses with high growth potential;
(d) Entrepreneurs and small business owners of second-stage companies, which are those companies that are beyond the start-up stage but have not yet fully matured, with innovative products or services that satisfy market needs, have particular potential for expansion and job creation;
(e) Such entrepreneurs and owners can benefit from specialized business assistance to refine core strategies and from access to in-depth market research, competitor analyses, geographic information systems, search engine optimization, and other strategic information, as well as from relationships with mentors and advisers;
(f) The aspects of economic gardening that incorporate these principles have proven successful in improving the entrepreneurial process and promoting economically sustainable local businesses; and
(g) It is important to the overall health and growth of the state's economy to promote favorable conditions for those expanding Washington businesses that demonstrate the ability to grow.
(2) In recognition of the foregoing findings and principles, it is the intent of the legislature to create a Washington economic gardening pilot project in the department of commerce.

(c) On or before March 1, 2017, the department and participating economic development organizations must select a minimum of twenty companies to participate in the pilot project.
(d) The department must oversee staff members certified pursuant to (b) of this subsection or certified private contractors to deploy strategic assistance to all pilot project participants. The department and participating economic development organizations must acquire any tools necessary to provide the strategic assistance, including database licenses, permits, and economic gardening certification.
(e) A participating company has twelve months from the date that the department and participating economic development organizations select the company to participate in the pilot project to use the strategic assistance and other economic gardening services offered pursuant to the pilot project.
(5) There is hereby created in the state treasury the economic gardening pilot project fund, to be administered by the department.

"PART V
PROFESSIONAL LEARNING DAYS
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 501. The legislature finds that the Washington state institute for public policy reported that content-specific professional development is much more effective than general training. The goal of the legislature is to provide a sufficient number of professional learning days necessary to meet the needs in Washington's schools and to designate the professional learning days to be part of basic education.
Sec. 502. RCW 28A.150.200 and 2009 c 548 s 101 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The program of basic education established under this chapter is deemed by the legislature to comply with the requirements of Article IX, section 1 of the state Constitution, which states that "It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste, or sex," and is adopted pursuant to Article IX, section 2 of the state Constitution, which states that "The legislature shall provide for a general and uniform system of public schools."
(2) The legislature defines the program of basic education under this chapter as that which is necessary to provide the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the state-established high school graduation requirements that are intended to allow students to have the opportunity to graduate with a meaningful diploma that prepares them for postsecondary education, gainful employment, and citizenship. Basic education by necessity is an evolving program of instruction intended to reflect the changing educational opportunities that are needed to equip students for their role as productive citizens and includes the following:
(a) The instructional program of basic education the minimum components of which are described in RCW 28A.150.220;
(b) The program of education provided by chapter 28A.190 RCW for students in residential schools as defined by RCW 28A.190.020 and for juveniles in detention facilities as identified by RCW 28A.190.010;
(c) The program of education provided by chapter 28A.193 RCW for individuals under the age of eighteen who are incarcerated in adult correctional facilities; ((and))
(d) Transportation and transportation services to and from school for eligible students as provided under RCW 28A.160.150 through 28A.160.180; and
(e) Professional learning days as provided under section 503 of this act.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 503. A new section is added to chapter 28A.150 RCW to read as follows:
(1) Subject to funds appropriated for this purpose:
(a) Beginning in the 2016-17 school year, the legislature shall annually provide additional time and resources for high quality, content-specific, professional learning days for each state-funded certificated instructional staff, paraeducator, and school building-based administrator to increase knowledge and skills in the areas of current and future educational reforms. The minimum funding for a professional learning day must be equivalent to the aggregate amount provided for the state-funded salaries for each certificated instructional staff, paraeducator, and school-based administrator in the school district for one full school day. School districts must be required to expend the funds on professional learning activities but the learning is not required to be accomplished in one full school day and it may be organized in whatever time blocks the district chooses so long as the total time equates to one full school day. The learning improvement day must take place outside of the minimum one hundred eighty-day school calendar.
(b) For the 2016-17 school year, the funds provided for a professional learning day must be used for professional development that addresses either the school district or individual building goals.
(2) The superintendent of public instruction shall adopt rules to implement this section.
(3) The funding provided under this section shall be deemed to be part of the legislature's definition of basic education under Article IX of the state Constitution."
Renumber the remaining part and sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.

(2) The appropriation in this section is provided solely for a beginning educator support program. The program shall prioritize first year teachers in the mentoring program. Either school districts, or regional consortia, or both may apply for grant funding.
(3) The program provided by either a district, or a regional consortia, or both shall include: A paid orientation; assignment of a qualified mentor; development of a professional growth plan for each beginning teacher aligned with professional certification; release time for mentors and new teachers to work together; and teacher observation time with accomplished peers.

In adopting such rules, the department shall specify both the solid waste that is exempted from the permitting requirements and the beneficial use or uses for which the solid waste is so exempted. The department shall consider: (a) Whether the material will be beneficially used or reused; and (b) whether the beneficial use or reuse of the material will present threats to human health or the environment.
(2) The department may also exempt a solid waste from the permitting requirements of this chapter for one or more beneficial uses by approving an application for such an exemption. The department shall establish by rule procedures under which a person may apply to the department for such an exemption.

Every complete application shall be approved or disapproved by the department within ninety days of receipt. If the application is approved by the department, the solid waste is exempt from the permitting requirements of this chapter when used anywhere in the state in the manner approved by the department. If the composition, use, or reuse of the solid waste is not consistent with the terms and conditions of the department's approval of the application, the use of the solid waste remains subject to the permitting requirements of this chapter.
(4) The department shall establish procedures by rule for providing to the public and the solid waste industry notice of and an opportunity to comment on each application for an exemption under subsection (2) of this section.
(5) Any jurisdictional health department or applicant may appeal the decision of the department to approve or disapprove an application under subsection (3) of this section. The appeal shall be made to the pollution control hearings board by filing with the hearings board a notice of appeal within thirty days of the decision of the department. The hearings board's review of the decision shall be made in accordance with chapter 43.21B RCW and any subsequent appeal of a decision of the board shall be made in accordance with RCW 43.21B.180.
(6) This section shall not be deemed to invalidate the exemptions or determinations of nonapplicability in the department's solid waste rules as they exist on June 11, 1998, which exemptions and determinations are recognized and confirmed subject to the department's continuing authority to modify or revoke those exemptions or determinations by rule."

(5) A registration issued under this section is valid, unless surrendered, suspended, or revoked by the commissioner, or not renewed for so long as the service contract provider continues in business in this state and remains in compliance with this chapter.

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Hargrove: “Thank you, Mr. President. First of all, it was a great event and I want to thank Senator Roach for putting it on. I did want to mention that while I was there, I saw Senator Roach pull a big fish out of the water and then grab it with both hands and then it slipped out and went back in the tank. After which, she grabbed a net and went after it with a net. After telling Senator McCoy he couldn’t do that. She was out there net fishing for her fish in the tank. It was a great event and I would also like to remind you that next Tuesday we’re having our legislative shoot out. We’ll get to go make lots of shells. Thank you.”
