WHEREAS, International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity; and

WHEREAS, This year's theme is Be Bold for Change; and

WHEREAS, There are numerous examples of women who have been Bold for Change, and, in doing so, made their marks on history and changed the world; and

WHEREAS, Harriet Tubman, the famous "conductor" on the Underground Railroad, led hundreds of slaves to freedom. She never lost a fugitive or allowed one to turn back; and

WHEREAS, Anne Frank, who perished in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, left behind a diary which served as a unique eyewitness account of life during the Holocaust; and

WHEREAS, Former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan was the first black woman elected to the Texas State Senate and the first African-American Texan in Congress, man or woman. She was a staunch defender of the U.S. Constitution, which, she sometimes noted, had not initially included African-Americans in its "We, the people"; and

WHEREAS, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was a leader involved in numerous humanitarian causes, who rejected the "social hostess" role of first lady and turned into a more visible, active participant in the White House administration. She was an early champion for civil rights for African-Americans, and advocated for women, American workers, refugees, and the poor; and

WHEREAS, United States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was a Presidential Medal of Freedom award recipient and the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court; and

WHEREAS, Cathy McMorris Rodgers was the first woman to lead the Washington State House Republican Caucus during her service as a state representative. As a Congresswoman, she is the longest-serving woman in Republican leadership, and, as chair of the House Republican Conference, she is the highest-ranking woman in Congress; and

WHEREAS, Washington State Supreme Court Justice Mary Yu is a decorated lawyer with a strong record of service both on and off the bench, and our state's first openly lesbian person and first woman of color to serve on the Washington Supreme Court; and

WHEREAS, According to the World Economic Forum, there is a clear values-based case for promoting gender parity: Women are one-half of the world's population and deserve equal access to health, education, economic participation and earning potential, and political decision-making power;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State House of Representatives recognize the contributions of women to our society, economy, and community; and honor all women throughout our state, nation, and world during the celebration of International Women's Day.

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  It is the intent of the legislature to increase transparency and accountability of the work performed by private entities and nonprofit organizations pursuant to contracts and the work performed by public employees pursuant to project plans by requiring better evaluation of their performance. Such evaluation should include an assessment of whether decisions to "contract out" government goods and services to the private sector are achieving their stated objectives. In addition, it is the intent of the legislature to ensure that public contractors and agencies given access to state resources are held to ethical standards consistent with public values.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  A new section is added to chapter 39.26 RCW to read as follows:

(1) Prior to issuing a request for a proposal under this chapter to contract out to purchase from a private sector entity or nonprofit organization goods and services that have been customarily and historically provided by a public employee or employees, an agency must meet the criteria specified in RCW 41.06.142 and also conduct a comprehensive impact assessment if the estimated cost of contract performance is greater than twenty thousand dollars. This section applies only to contracts entered under this chapter and does not apply to contracts awarded under alternate procurement statutes or to contracts awarded for the purposes of or by the department of transportation.

(a) To assist the agency in determining whether the decision to contract out is beneficial, the comprehensive impact assessment must include at a minimum the following comparative analysis of the estimated costs of providing the goods and services through public employees and the costs of providing the goods and services through a contract:

(i) For goods and services provided by public employees:

(A) An estimate of the cost of the goods and services, including the fully allocated costs of the good or service, the cost of the employees' salaries and benefits, space, equipment, materials, and other costs necessary to perform the function. The estimate shall include the state's indirect overhead costs that can be specifically attributed to delivering the goods and services over the period of the proposed contract; and

(B) A statement of the performance objectives to be achieved; and

(ii) For goods and services contracted out:

(A) An estimate of the cost of the goods and services, including the cost of allocating sufficient public employee staff time and resources to monitor the contract and ensure its proper performance by the contractor; and

(B) A statement of the performance objectives to be achieved by contracting with a private sector or nonprofit entity.

(b) The comprehensive assessment may also include an assessment of the potential impacts on the public from outsourcing the contract, such as gain or loss of employment, effect on social services and public assistance programs, economic impacts on local businesses and local tax revenues, and environmental impacts.

(2) Upon completion of the comprehensive impact assessment required under subsection (1) of this section a written record must be prepared:

(a) If an agency decides to contract out a good or service that has been customarily and historically provided by public employees, the agency must prepare a written record of the basis of the decision and provide it to the department. The written record must include the comprehensive impact assessment and an itemization of performance standards in the contract for the goods or services.

(b) If an agency decides to provide the good or service through public employees, the agency must prepare a written record of the basis of the decision and provide it to the department. The written record must include the comprehensive impact assessment and a quantifiable analysis demonstrating the agency's ability to meet or exceed performance standards in the agency project plan for providing the goods or services.

(c) The agency must maintain the written record in the agency's files for five years or the term of the contract, whichever is longer.

(3) Every five years or upon completion of the contract or provision of the goods or services by the agency's public employees, whichever comes first, the agency must prepare and file with the department a report, which must include at a minimum the following information:

(a) Documentation of the contractor's or agency's performance as measured by the itemized performance standards;

(b) Itemization of any contract extensions or change orders made by the contractor or comparable project plan revisions by the agency that resulted in a change in the dollar value or cost of the goods or services; and

(c) A report of any remedial actions that were taken to enforce compliance with the contract or project plan, together with an estimate of the cost incurred by the public in enforcing such compliance.

(4) In addition to any other terms required by law:

(a) For goods and services contracted out, the terms of the contract must include the following:

(i) A cancellation clause allowing the agency to cancel the contract if the contractor fails to meet quality standards or budget specifications;

(ii) Terms ensuring periodic review of performance of the contract on a semiannual basis or more frequently;

(iii) Terms requiring the contractor to reimburse the agency for certain additional costs including, but not limited to, the costs of the agency's employee time to mitigate or otherwise perform a contract that failed inspection, that the contractor failed to complete on schedule, or that the contractor failed to complete to specified quality standards;

(iv) A term requiring the contractor to make available to the agency the following information at the start of the contract's term and updated each fiscal year:

(A) The name and license number, if applicable, of the contractor and all subcontractors; and

(B) A list of individuals or entities performing or providing the goods or services, reflected as full-time equivalent positions, including the hourly wage rate for each position, and the status of the individual as an employee, subcontractor, independent contractor, or consultant of the contractor; and

(v) A waiver of confidentiality of, and agreement to provide to the agency upon request, basic financial information related to the contract, other than financial, commercial, or proprietary information specifically exempted from disclosure to the public under RCW 42.56.270; or

(b) For goods and services provided by public employees, the terms of an agency project plan must include the following:

(i) A clause allowing the agency to cancel the good or service if the agency fails to meet quality standards or budget specifications;

(ii) Terms ensuring periodic review of performance of the project plan on a semiannual basis or more frequently;

(iii) Terms requiring the agency to absorb certain additional costs including, but not limited to, the costs of the agency's employee time to mitigate or otherwise perform a project plan that failed inspection, that the agency failed to complete on schedule, or that the agency failed to complete to specified quality standards. In circumstances in which agencies are required to absorb certain additional costs or employee business units and other agencies are required to compensate an agency for certain additional costs, funds appropriated, allotted, or otherwise intended for other purposes may not be used to supplement or supplant funds for the purpose of acquiring the good or service; and

(iv) A term requiring the agency to make available to the department the following information at the start of the project plan and updated each fiscal year:

(A) The name and license number, if applicable, of any contractors and subcontractors; and

(B) A list of individuals or entities performing or providing the goods or services, reflected as full-time equivalent positions, including the hourly wage rate for each position, and the status of the individual as an employee, subcontractor, independent contractor, or consultant of the agency.

(5) The provisions applicable to contracts with a private sector entity or nonprofit organization set forth in this section also apply to contracts with employee business units under RCW 41.06.142 and interlocal agreements with other agencies under chapter 39.34 RCW.

Sec. 3.  RCW 39.26.180 and 2012 c 224 s 20 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The department must adopt uniform policies and procedures for the effective and efficient management of contracts or agency project plans by all state agencies. The policies and procedures must, at a minimum, include:

(a) Precontract procedures for selecting potential contractors based on their qualifications and ability to perform, including procedures to ensure compliance with chapter 39.19 RCW, providing for participation of minority and women-owned businesses;

(b) Model complaint and protest procedures;

(c) Alternative dispute resolution processes;

(d) Incorporation of performance measures and measurable benchmarks in contracts or agency project plans;

(e) Model ((contract)) terms to ensure ((contract)) performance and compliance with state and federal standards, including terms to facilitate recovery of the costs of public employee staff time that must be expended to achieve substantial compliance;

(f) Executing contracts using electronic signatures;

(g) Criteria for contract or project plan amendments;

(h) Postcontract or postproject procedures;

(i) Procedures and criteria for terminating contracts or project plans for cause or otherwise, including procedures and criteria for not achieving performance standards; and

(j) Any other subject related to effective and efficient contract or project plan management.

(2) An agency may not enter into a contract or adopt a project plan under which the contractor or agency could charge additional costs to the agency, the department, the joint legislative audit and review committee, or the state auditor for access to data generated under the contract or project plan. A contractor or agency under such a contract or project plan must provide access to data generated under the contract or project plan to the contracting agency or department, the joint legislative audit and review committee, and the state auditor.

(3) To the extent practicable, agencies should enter into performance-based contracts or adopt performance-based project plans. Performance-based contracts and project plans identify expected deliverables and performance measures or outcomes. Performance-based contracts and project plans also use appropriate techniques, which may include, but are not limited to, either consequences or incentives or both to ensure that agreed upon value to the state is received. Payment for goods and services under performance-based contracts should be contingent on ((the contractor)) achieving performance outcomes. Agencies or the department must monitor performance-based contracts or project plans at least on a semiannual basis to ensure that all aspects are being properly performed and that performance standards are being achieved.

(4) An agency and contractor may execute a contract using electronic signatures.

(5) As used in subsection (2) of this section, "data" includes all information that supports the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the contractor's or agency's reports, including computer models and the methodology for those models.

(6) The provisions applicable to contracts and contractors set forth in this section also apply to contracts with employee business units under RCW 41.06.142 and interlocal agreements with other agencies under chapter 39.34 RCW.

Sec. 4.  RCW 43.19.008 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 43 s 104 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The executive powers and management of the department, and oversight through review or audit by the office of financial management, the joint legislative audit and review committee, or state auditor, shall be administered as described in this section.

(2) The executive head and appointing authority of the department is the director. The director is appointed by the governor, subject to confirmation by the senate. The director serves at the pleasure of the governor. The director is paid a salary fixed by the governor in accordance with RCW 43.03.040. If a vacancy occurs in the position of director while the senate is not in session, the governor shall make a temporary appointment until the next meeting of the senate at which time he or she shall present to that body his or her nomination for the position.

(3) The director may employ staff members, who are exempt from chapter 41.06 RCW, and any additional staff members as are necessary to administer this chapter, and such other duties as may be authorized by law. The director may delegate any power or duty vested in ((him or her)) the position by chapter 43, Laws of 2011 1st sp. sess. or other law, including authority to make final decisions and enter final orders in hearings conducted under chapter 34.05 RCW.

(4) The internal affairs of the department are under the control of the director in order that the director may manage the department in a flexible and intelligent manner as dictated by changing contemporary circumstances. Unless specifically limited by law, the director has complete charge and supervisory powers over the department. The director may create the administrative structures as the director deems appropriate, except as otherwise specified by law, and the director may employ personnel as may be necessary in accordance with chapter 41.06 RCW, except as otherwise provided by law.

(5) Until June 30, ((2018)) 2019, at the beginning of each fiscal biennium, unless the joint legislative audit and review committee or the state auditor is otherwise directed to do so in the omnibus operating budget, the office of financial management shall conduct a review of the programs, goods, and services that are performed by the department to determine whether the program, goods, or services may be performed by the private sector, an employee business unit under RCW 41.06.142, or another agency pursuant to an interlocal agreement under chapter 39.34 RCW in a more cost-efficient and effective manner than being performed by the department. In conducting this review, the office of financial management shall:

(a) Examine the existing activities currently being performed by the department, including but not limited to an examination of goods or services for their performance, cost compared to revenue impact, staffing, capital requirements, and mission. Programs may be broken down into discrete goods, services, or activities or reviewed as a whole; and

(b) Examine the activities to determine which specific goods or services are available in the marketplace and what potential for efficiency gains or savings exist.

(i) As part of the review in this subsection (5), the office of financial management shall select up to six activities, goods, or services that have been determined as an activity that may be provided by the private sector in a cost-effective and efficient manner((, including for the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium the bulk printing services)). The office of financial management may consult with affected industry stakeholders in making its decision on which activities to contract for goods or services. Priority for selection shall be given to agency activities, goods, or services that are significant, ongoing functions or projects with an initial project plan of two hundred fifty thousand dollars or more.

(ii) The office of financial management must consider the consequences and potential mitigation of improper or failed performance by the contractor or agency, if the activity was performed by public employees.

(iii) For each of the selected activities, the department or agency shall use a request for information, request for proposal, or other procurement process to determine if a contract for the activity would result in the activity being provided at a reduced cost and with greater efficiency. This must include, but is not limited to, consideration of the cost of the agency staff time and resources that may be required to monitor and ensure proper performance of the contract by the contractor or project plan by the agency.

(iv) The request for information, request for proposal, or other procurement process must contain measurable standards for the performance of the contract.

(v) If contracting out will afford taxpayers a cost savings or efficiency, the department may contract with one or more vendors to provide the good or service as a result of the procurement process.

(vi) If the office of financial management determines via the procurement process that the activity cannot be provided by the private sector at a reduced cost and greater efficiency, the department of enterprise services may cancel the procurement without entering into a contract and shall promptly notify the legislative fiscal committees of such a decision along with the cost analysis and basis for the decision.

(vii) The department of enterprise services, in consultation with the office of financial management, must establish a contract or project plan monitoring process to measure contract or project plan performance, costs, service delivery quality, and other contract or project plan standards, and to cancel contracts or projects that do not meet those standards. No contracts or project extensions, expansions, future upgrades, or phases may be renewed without a review of these measures.

(viii) The office of financial management shall prepare a biennial report summarizing the results of the examination of the agency's programs, goods, and services. In addition to the programs, goods, and services examined and the result of the examination, the report shall provide information on any procurement process that does not result in a contract for the goods or services. The biennial report must include updates reporting any unanticipated costs incurred as a result of contracting out or from the agency providing the goods or services pursuant to this section and an estimate of staff hours devoted by employees of the office of financial management and department of enterprise services in conducting the program review required by this section. During each regular legislative session held in odd-numbered years, the legislative fiscal committees shall hold a public hearing on the report and the department's activities under this section. This report must be made available on the web site of the agency that was the subject of the report.

(ix) The joint legislative audit and review committee shall conduct an audit of the implementation of this subsection (5), and report to the legislature by January 1, 2018, on the results of the audit. The report must include an analysis and estimate of additional costs or savings to taxpayers as a result of the contracting out or project plan provisions. This analysis must, at a minimum, include the following:

(A) An estimate of the cost of performance of the selected activities, if the activities had been performed by public employees;

(B) An estimate of the cost of performance of the contract or project plan by the contractor, including the cost of any change orders, project plan, or contract revisions and the costs of allocating sufficient public employee staff time and resources to monitor the contract and ensure its proper performance by the contractor;

(C) An analysis of the extent to which performance objectives were achieved by outsourcing the contract or by having the agency perform the activity; and

(D) An assessment of potential impacts on the public of outsourcing the contract or by having the agency perform the activities.

Sec. 5.  RCW 39.26.200 and 2015 c 44 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

(1)(a) The director shall provide notice to the contractor of the director's intent to either fine or debar with the specific reason for either the fine or debarment. The department must establish the debarment and fining processes by rule.

(b) After reasonable notice to the contractor and reasonable opportunity for that contractor to be heard, the director has the authority to debar a contractor for cause from consideration for award of contracts. The debarment must be for a period of not more than three years.

(2) The director may either fine or debar a contractor based on a finding of one or more of the following causes:

(a) Conviction for commission of a criminal offense as an incident to obtaining or attempting to obtain a public or private contract or subcontract, or in the performance of such contract or subcontract;

(b) Conviction or a final determination in a civil action under state or federal statutes of fraud, embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, receiving stolen property, violation of the federal false claims act, 31 U.S.C.

(d) Two or more violations within the previous five years of the ((federal)) national labor relations act as determined by the national labor relations board or court of competent jurisdiction;

(e) Violation of contract provisions, as set forth in this subsection, of a character that is regarded by the director to be so serious as to justify debarment action:

(i) Deliberate failure without good cause to perform in accordance with the specifications or within the time limit provided in the contract; or

(ii) A recent record of failure to perform or of unsatisfactory performance in accordance with the terms of one or more contracts, however the failure to perform or unsatisfactory performance caused by acts beyond the control of the contractor may not be considered to be a basis for debarment;

(f) Violation of ethical standards set forth in RCW 39.26.020; and

(g) Any other cause the director determines to be so serious and compelling as to affect responsibility as a state contractor, including debarment by another governmental entity for any cause listed in regulations.

(a) State the reasons for the action taken; and

(2) For a noncompetition agreement to be enforceable, the employer must disclose the terms of the agreement in writing to the prospective employee no later than the time of the acceptance of the offer of employment or, if the agreement is entered into after the commencement of employment, the employer must provide independent consideration for the agreement.

(3) The reformation or unenforceability of a noncompetition agreement does not affect the enforceability of any form of confidentiality, nonsolicitation, or other agreement, or any other terms and conditions between the parties, regardless of whether the other agreement or terms or conditions are contained in the same document as a noncompetition agreement.

(4) If an employer requires an employee to enter into a noncompetition agreement containing provisions the employer knows are unenforceable, the employee may recover actual damages, together with statutory damages of five thousand dollars and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

(5) For purposes of this section:

HOUSE BILL NO. 1886, by Representatives Harris, Santos and Pollet

The bill was read the second time.

SUBSTITUTE HOUSE BILL NO. 1886 was read the second time.

 

Representative Santos moved the adoption of amendment (318).

 

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 10.  (1) The legislature recognizes that it is charged by the state Constitution, and entrusted by the voters, to be the principal public policy setting body of Washington state. The legislature recognizes also that a critical component of its policy setting obligations centers upon establishing and amending well-considered and appropriate governance provisions for the K-12 education system.

(2) The legislature finds that the K-12 education system is a constantly evolving barometer of change that reflects the growth, complexity, and diversity of the state. While the state's K-12 education system can be traced to Washington's first territorial legislature, properly responding to the needs and expectations of a system that is devoted to providing a high quality education to more than one million students requires continual evaluations and refinements.

(3) The legislature recognizes that the challenges of setting state education policy are compounded by two important considerations: (a) An evolving federal role in education issues that began in the 1960s and has changed the interplay between states and the federal government by establishing specific responsibilities for the principal state education agency in each state; and (b) the existence of two Washington state educational agencies with territorial roots, the office of the superintendent of public instruction and the state board of education. Furthermore, the legislature recognizes that the division of responsibilities between these state agencies is multifaceted, as the elected superintendents of public instruction served, from 1897 until recently, as the ex-officio presidents of the state board of education.

(4) The legislature, therefore, intends to promote the improved functioning of the K-12 education system by acting upon its public policy setting authority to examine specific K-12 governance and responsibilities considerations. To accomplish this objective, the legislature intends to convene a task force to develop recommendations regarding the appropriate division of duties between the superintendent of public instruction and the state board of education.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 11.  (1)(a) The legislative task force on K-12 governance and responsibilities is established, with members as provided in this subsection.

(i) The president of the senate shall appoint two task force members: The chair and ranking minority member of the senate early learning and K-12 education committee.

(ii) The speaker of the house of representatives shall appoint two task force members: The chair and ranking minority member of the house of representatives education committee.

(iii) The task force shall also consist of:

(A) The governor or the governor's designee;

(B) The superintendent of public instruction or the superintendent's designee;

(C) The chair of the state board of education;

(D) The president of the Washington state school directors' association; and

(E) The chair of the student achievement council.

(b) The task force shall choose its cochairs from among its legislative membership. The chair of the house of representatives education committee shall convene the initial meeting of the task force on or before June 1, 2017.

(2) The task force shall review the following issues:

(a) Legislation introduced in 2017 relating to the responsibilities of the superintendent of public instruction and the state board of education;

(b) The constitutional and statutory provisions establishing the governance structure and associated responsibilities in the K-12 system;

(c) Options for the division of roles and responsibilities between the office of the superintendent of public instruction and the state board of education;

(d) Past and present provisions governing the superintendent of public instruction and the superintendent's office, including authorities and duties assigned and modified by the legislature;

(e) Past and present provisions governing the state board of education, including provisions prescribing its authorities, duties, composition, and membership qualifications; and

(f) Considerations of governance and responsibility provisions for other public partner agencies in the K-12 system.

(3) Staff support for the task force must be provided by the senate committee services and the house of representatives office of program research, with additional assistance, if requested by the task force, provided by the office of the superintendent of public instruction and the state board of education.

(4) Legislative members of the task force are reimbursed for travel expenses in accordance with RCW 44.04.120. Nonlegislative members are not entitled to be reimbursed for travel expenses if they are elected officials or are participating on behalf of an employer, governmental entity, or other organization. Any reimbursement for other nonlegislative members is subject to chapter 43.03 RCW.

(5) The expenses of the task force must be paid jointly by the senate and the house of representatives. Task force expenditures are subject to approval by the senate facilities and operations committee and the house of representatives executive rules committee, or their successor committees.

(6) The task force shall report its findings and recommendations, including recommendations regarding the appropriate roles and responsibilities of the superintendent of public instruction and the state board of education in the K-12 system, to the education committees of the house of representatives and the senate by November 15, 2017.

(7) This section expires January 31, 2018.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 12.  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 immediately."

The bill was read the second time.

 

Representative Shea moved the adoption of amendment (255).

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 13.  The legislature finds that providing additional funding mechanisms for public use general aviation airports to implement infrastructure rehabilitation, upgrades, and revenue-generating projects is in the best interest of the state. The legislature declares that a revolving loan program is fundamental for smaller airport preservation and future vitality.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 14.  A new section is added to chapter 47.68 RCW to read as follows:

(1) An airport infrastructure loan program to be known as the community aviation revitalization loan program is established for political subdivisions of the state that own or manage airports to acquire loans to fund capital projects, including repaving runways, installing runway lights, constructing new airport facilities, and improving existing facilities.

(2) The community aviation revitalization revolving loan account is created in the custody of the state treasurer. All moneys received for the community aviation revitalization loan program, including loan and interest payments, must be deposited into the account. Moneys in the account may be used only for the loan program and for the department expenditures associated with administering the loan program, and may not be transferred to any other account or used for purposes other than that prescribed in this chapter. Only the secretary or the secretary's designee may authorize expenditures from the account. The account is subject to allotment procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but an appropriation is not required for expenditures. Disbursements to political subdivisions for approved loans are not subject to appropriation or allotment procedures. The interest on the loans must be the federal rate of interest at the time the loan is borrowed by the political subdivision of the state.

(3) The aviation division of the department must administer the community aviation revitalization loan program.

(4) The department must adopt by rule the criteria to be used in evaluating and approving the loan applications. These loans may be provided to political subdivisions of the state that own or manage airports that do not have more than fifty thousand annual commercial service passenger enplanements as published by the federal aviation administration. Before adopting rules under this subsection or offering a loan contract for a project, the department must consult with the community aviation revitalization loan oversight task force created in section 3 of this act.

(5) The department must consider the following conditions when evaluating loan applications:

(a) The proposed project will lead to additional investment or permanent family wage jobs;

(b) The proposed project will provide capital improvements to augment the maintenance, operation, or expansion of an airport or its associated airport-related business park;

(c) The proposed project will result in retention, expansion, or creation of long-term economic opportunities dependent on the airport or related aeronautic services; or

(d) The proposed project will result in leveraging additional federal funding to an eligible airport.

(6) Loans may only be awarded to applicants that clearly identify a viable source of funds intended to repay the loan.

(7) The department may accept any gifts, grants, loans of funds, property, contributions, or financial or other aid in any form from other sources that do not conflict with the department's governing statutes and regulations and the laws of the state in furtherance of community aviation airport revitalization as proposed in this section. The department may also accept federal agency loans or grants for the planned financing of any project and enter into an agreement with project owners to administer those loans.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 15.  A new section is added to chapter 47.68 RCW to read as follows:

(1) The community aviation revitalization loan oversight task force is created to oversee and provide consultation to the department in relation to the community aviation revitalization loan program.

(b) The community aviation revitalization loan oversight task force must consist of: Two people from each of the two largest caucuses of the house of representatives to be appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives, two people from each of the two largest caucuses of the senate to be appointed by the president of the senate, and a nonvoting representative from the department of commerce as designated by the director of the department of commerce.

(2) The community aviation revitalization loan oversight task force shall review and approve rules prepared by the department to govern the implementation, management, and administration of the community aviation revitalization loan program. The task force must be consulted before the department's approval of a project to receive a loan.

(3) Staff support to the community aviation revitalization loan oversight task force must be provided by the department as needed.

(4) Legislative members of the task force are reimbursed for travel expenses in accordance with RCW 44.04.120. Nonlegislative members are not entitled to be reimbursed for travel expenses if they are elected officials or are participating on behalf of an employer, governmental entity, or other organization. Any reimbursement for other nonlegislative members is subject to chapter 43.03 RCW.

Sec. 16.  RCW 43.79A.040 and 2016 c 203 s 2, 2016 c 173 s 10, 2016 c 69 s 21, and 2016 c 39 s 7 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

(1) Money in the treasurer's trust fund may be deposited, invested, and reinvested by the state treasurer in accordance with RCW 43.84.080 in the same manner and to the same extent as if the money were in the state treasury, and may be commingled with moneys in the state treasury for cash management and cash balance purposes.

(2) All income received from investment of the treasurer's trust fund must be set aside in an account in the treasury trust fund to be known as the investment income account.

(3) The investment income account may be utilized for the payment of purchased banking services on behalf of treasurer's trust funds including, but not limited to, depository, safekeeping, and disbursement functions for the state treasurer or affected state agencies. The investment income account is subject in all respects to chapter 43.88 RCW, but no appropriation is required for payments to financial institutions.
