BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 47.26 RCW to read as follows:
Beginning February 1, 1999, and annually thereafter, the transportation improvement board shall submit to the transportation committees of the senate and the house of representatives, proposed lists of projects for which funds are being requested for appropriation from the following accounts: Transportation improvement account, urban arterial trust account, central Puget Sound public transportation account, public transportation systems account, small city account, and city hardship assistance account. The lists shall include, but not be limited to, lead agency, name of project, a brief description of the project, estimated expenditures by phase and biennium including prior biennium expenditures, funding requirements of other organizations, priority rating, anticipated start date by phase, applicable state route or road name, other impacted agencies, and legislative district. Recognizing there may be projects of an emergent nature outside of the normal funding cycle and the need to coordinate project funding with federal program cycles, the board has the authority to provide funding for such projects and upon approval shall notify the legislative transportation committee.
