BE IT ENACTED BY THE
LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec.
1. RCW
43.06.--- and 2001 c 235 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
(1)
The governor is authorized to enter into cigarette tax contracts with the
Squaxin Island Tribe, the Nisqually Tribe, Tulalip Tribes, the Muckleshoot
Indian Tribe, the Quinault Nation, the Jamestown S'Klallam Indian Tribe, the
Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, the Stillaguamish Tribe, the Sauk-Suiattle Tribe,
the Skokomish Indian Tribe, the Yakama Nation, the Suquamish Tribe, the
Nooksack Indian Tribe, the Lummi Nation, the Chehalis Confederated Tribes, and
the Upper Skagit Tribe. Each contract adopted under this section shall provide
that the tribal cigarette tax rate be one hundred percent of the state
cigarette and state and local sales and use taxes within three years of
enacting the tribal tax and shall be set no lower than eighty percent of the
state cigarette and state and local sales and use taxes during the three-year
phase-in period. The three-year phase-in period shall be shortened by three
months each quarter the number of cartons of nontribal manufactured cigarettes
is at least ten percent or more than the quarterly average number of
cartons of nontribal manufactured cigarettes from the six-month period
preceding the imposition of the tribal tax under the contract. Sales at a
retailer operation not in existence as of the date a tribal tax under this
section is imposed are subject to the full rate of the tribal tax under the
contract. The tribal cigarette tax is in lieu of the state cigarette and state
and local sales and use taxes, as provided in RCW 43.06.---(3) (section 2,
chapter 235, Laws of 2001).
(2) A cigarette tax contract under this section is subject to RCW
