by House Committee on Local Government (originally sponsored by Representatives Romero, Cooper, Dunshee, Linville and Edwards; by request of Governor Locke)

Establishing a schedule of time limits under which local governments must develop or amend shoreline master plans.

(AS OF HOUSE 2ND READING 3/17/03)

        Recognizes that the process of developing and amending shoreline master programs requires substantial effort and coordination by local governments. To assist local governments in completing this process, the legislature intends to establish a staggered schedule for cities and counties to develop and amend master programs consistent with existing timelines for reviews and amendments of comprehensive plans and development regulations. The legislature also recognizes that several local governments have volunteered to comply with the provisions of this act before the newly established schedule and intends to reflect this in the schedule that is established by RCW 90.58.080.

        Declares an intent to provide reasonable and adequate funding for grants to local governments to accomplish the task of reviewing and revising their shoreline master programs. If the legislature in the future does not provide funding in any one biennium sufficient for reasonable and adequate grant funds, the legislature acknowledges that this may result in delaying the compliance date until the following biennium.

        Mar 19     First reading, referred to Land Use & Planning.

by House Committee on Agriculture & Natural Resources (originally sponsored by Representatives Linville, Rockefeller, Anderson, Delvin, McDermott, McIntire, Woods and Simpson; by request of Commissioner of Public Lands)

Studying the creation of the legacy trust proposal.

(AS OF HOUSE 2ND READING 3/17/03)

       Finds that during the 2003 legislative session, the commissioner of public lands brought forward the idea of the creation of a legacy trust in the form of House Bill No. 1803 and Senate Bill No. 5750. The legacy trust was proposed to serve as a new land trust, managed by the department of natural resources, the revenue from which would be dedicated to supporting recreational access and use on state-owned lands.

       Concurs with the commissioner of public lands that the demand for the use and enjoyment of public lands is extensive and growing and that the quality of recreational experiences, safety to the public, upkeep of trails and facilities, and protection of land from ecological impacts may be in jeopardy.

       Finds that the ideas brought forward by the commissioner of public lands, as well as other ideas for achieving similar goals, deserves the attention of select legislators in the interim between the 2003 and 2004 legislative sessions.

       Establishes a joint select committee on the legacy trust proposal to consider, study, and review the legacy trust proposal brought forward by the commissioner of public lands for establishing a stable, long-term revenue source to support recreational access and use on state-owned lands, and to consider any alternate methods to achieve the same goals. One alternative for the committee to research is any options available for obtaining federal forest land located in Washington to be used as part of the legacy trust's land base.

       Provides that any land that is acquired by the state between the effective date of this act and June 30, 2004, either by gift, escheat, devise, or grant, that is not conveyed for a particular purpose, may be held by the department separate from any existing land trusts.

       Provides that, if by June 30, 2004, the legislature establishes the legacy trust pursuant to this act, or any other land trust designed to provide financial support for the management of public recreational access and use on state-owned lands, then any land held pursuant to this provision shall be transferred to the new land trust and managed pursuant to legislative direction.

       Provides that, if by June 30, 2004, the legislature does not create a new land trust, any land held pursuant to this provision must be managed in accordance with this act.

Declaring shoreline management act legislative intent.

(AS OF HOUSE 2ND READING 3/17/03)

        Declares that this act is intended to affirm the legislature's intent that: (1) The shoreline management act be read, interpreted, applied, and implemented as a whole consistent with decisions of the shoreline hearings board and Washington courts prior to the decision of the central Puget Sound growth management hearings board in Everett Shorelines Coalition v. City of Everett and Washington State Department of Ecology;

        (2) The goals of the growth management act, including the goals and policies of the shoreline management act, set forth in RCW 36.70A.020 and included in RCW 36.70A.020 by RCW 36.70A.480, continue to be listed without an order of priority; and

        (3) Shorelines of statewide significance may include critical areas as defined by RCW 36.70A.030(5), but that shorelines of statewide significance are not critical areas simply because they are shorelines of statewide significance.

        Declares an intent that upon adoption of revised shorelines guidelines after January 1, 2003, critical areas within the jurisdiction of the shoreline management act shall be governed by the shoreline management act and that critical areas outside the jurisdiction of the shoreline management act shall be governed by the growth management act. The legislature further intends that the quality of information currently required by the shoreline management act to be applied to the protection of critical areas within shorelines of the state shall not be limited or changed by the provisions of the growth management act.

Prioritizing proposed higher education capital projects.

(AS OF HOUSE 2ND READING 3/17/03)

       Declares an intent that a methodology be developed that will guide capital appropriation decisions by rating and individually ranking, in sequential, priority order, all major capital projects proposed by the two-year and four-year public universities and colleges.

       Declares an intent that this rating, ranking, and prioritization of capital needs will reflect the state's higher education policies and goals including the comprehensive master plan for higher education as submitted by the higher education coordinating board and as adopted by the legislature.

       Provides that, beginning with the 2005-2007 biennial capital budget submittal, the public four-year institutions, in consultation with the council of presidents and the higher education coordinating board, shall prepare a single prioritized individual ranking of the individual projects proposed by the four-year institutions as provided in this act. The public four-year institutions may aggregate minor works project requests into priority categories without separately ranking each minor project, provided that these aggregated minor works requests are ranked within the overall list.

       Provides that, beginning with the 2007-2009 biennial capital budget submittal, the board shall, in consultation with the state board for community and technical colleges and the public four-year institutions, submit its biennial capital budget recommendations on the basis of a prioritized project ranking reflecting the integration of the two-year and four-year prioritized project lists developed under this act along with the separate two-year and four-year prioritized lists.

Expanding implied consent to other conveyances, in addition to vehicles, involved in accidents. (REVISED FOR ENGROSSED: Concerning the collection of evidence of blood alcohol content from drivers involved in fatal vehicle accidents.)

(AS OF SENATE 2ND READING 3/18/03)

       Finds and declares that: (1) The state has a compelling interest in preventing fatal vehicle accidents in this state;

       (2) In order to prevent fatal vehicle accidents, it is necessary to analyze and understand the causes of such accidents, including the role played by alcohol;

       (3) The state's compelling interest in preventing fatal vehicle accidents therefore creates a special need beyond normal law enforcement for the collection of evidence of blood alcohol content from drivers involved in fatal vehicle accidents; and

       (4) Because evidence of blood alcohol content diminishes over time, requiring a warrant before that evidence can be collected would be impracticable and would frustrate the state's interest in collecting the information.

       Provides that a person who operates a vehicle within this state is deemed to have given consent, subject to RCW 46.61.506, to a test of his or her breath for the purpose of determining the alcohol concentration in his or her breath if the person is involved in a vehicle accident in which there has been a fatality.

       Provides that the test of breath must be administered at the direction of a law enforcement officer on the scene of a fatal vehicle accident. The officer shall inform the person of his or her right to refuse the breath test. The officer shall warn the operator that he or she will be guilty of a class 3 civil infraction if he or she refuses to submit to the test.

       Directs every hospital to on or before the tenth day of each month, report in writing to the chief of the Washington state patrol any toxicology report taken during the preceding calendar month from a person hospitalized as a result of an accident in which there has been a fatality that shows that the person may have been under the influence of intoxicating liquor at the time of the accident.
