     On page 11, after line 9, insert the following:

     "NEW SECTION. Sec. 11.  A new section is added to chapter 74.04 RCW to read as follows:

     New residents of the state shall receive for the first six months of residence the same level of benefits granted to them by their previous state of residence or they will receive Washington's grant level, whichever is lower.  "New residents" means anyone who has resided in the state of Washington for fewer than six of the previous six months."

     Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct internal references accordingly.

EFFECT:  Provides that new residents who receive AFDC benefits receive the lower of their previous state's AFDC grant payment or Washington's AFDC grant payment, and defines new resident as someone who has resided in the state of Washington for fewer than six of the previous six months.
