On page 30, after line 21, insert the following:
"Sec. 305. RCW 42.17.130 and 1979 ex.s. c 265 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
USE OF PUBLIC RESOURCES FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS. No elective local government
official nor any employee of his or her office nor any person appointed
to or employed by any local government public office or agency may use
or authorize the use of any of the facilities of a public office or agency,
directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of
any person to any office or for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot
proposition. Knowing acquiescence by a person with authority to direct,
control, or influence the actions of the local government official or employee
using public resources in violation of this section constitutes a violation of
this section. Facilities of public office or agency include, but are not
limited to, use of stationery, postage, machines, and equipment, use of
employees of the office or agency during working hours, vehicles, office space,
publications of the office or agency, and clientele lists of persons served by
the office or agency((: PROVIDED, That)). The ((foregoing))
provisions of this section shall not apply to the following activities:
(1) Action taken at an open public meeting by members of an elected local government legislative body to express a collective decision, or to actually vote upon a motion, proposal, resolution, order, or ordinance, or to support or oppose a ballot proposition so long as (a) any required notice of the meeting includes the title and number of the ballot proposition, and (b) members of the legislative body or members of the public are afforded an approximately equal opportunity for the expression of an opposing view;
(2) A statement by an elected local government official in support of or in opposition to any ballot proposition at an open press conference or in response to a specific inquiry. For the purposes of this subsection, it is not a violation of this section for an elected local government official to respond to an inquiry regarding a ballot proposition, to make incidental remarks concerning a ballot proposition in an official communication, or otherwise comment on a ballot proposition without an actual, measurable expenditure of public funds. Measurable expenditure has the meaning adopted by rule under section 118 of this act;
(3) Activities which are part of the normal and regular conduct of the office or agency."
Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
