to read as follows:
(1) Applications for annual license tab fees, gross weight fees,
and additional fees for recreational vehicles, as authorized in this
chapter, must permit applicants to voluntarily contribute funds in
whole dollar increments to assist persons with special transportation
needs. The department shall provide a space on the application for the
contributions. Proceeds will be remitted to the custody of the state
treasurer with a proper identifying detailed report. The state
treasurer shall credit the funds to the special needs transportation
account created in section 2 of this act. Funds must be expended as
provided in section 2 of this act.
(2) The department shall discontinue the voluntary contribution and
distribution of associated proceeds if the agency council on
coordinated transportation established in chapter 47.06B RCW no longer
exists or if the agency council on coordinated transportation has
stopped providing services that are authorized to be funded from the
voluntary contributions. The agency council on coordinated
transportation shall notify the department immediately to stop warrants
for voluntary contributions if either of the conditions in this
subsection exist.

the implementation of efficient coordinated systems to increase
transportation services to persons with special transportation needs.
Only the chair of the agency council on coordinated transportation may
