   (1) The developmental disabilities community trust account is created in the state treasury. All net proceeds from the use of excess property identified in the 2002 joint legislative audit and review committee capital study or other studies of the division of developmental disabilities residential habilitation centers at Lakeland Village, Yakima Valley school, Francis Hadden Morgan Center, and Rainier school that would not impact current residential habilitation center operations must be deposited into the account. ((Income))

   (2) Proceeds may come from the lease of the land, conservation easements, sale of timber, or other activities short of sale of the property.

   (3) "Excess property" includes that portion of the property at Rainier school previously under the cognizance and control of Washington State University for use as a dairy/forage research facility. (("Proceeds" include the net receipts from the use of all or a portion of the properties.))

   (4) Only investment income from the principal of the proceeds deposited into the trust account may be spent from the account. For purposes of this section, "investment income" includes lease payments, rent payments, or other periodic payments deposited into the trust account. For purposes of this section, "principal" is the actual excess land from which proceeds are assigned to the trust account.

   (5) Moneys in the account may be spent only after appropriation. Expenditures from the account shall be used exclusively to provide family support and/or employment/day services to eligible persons with developmental disabilities who can be served by community-based developmental disability services. It is the intent of the legislature that the account should not be used to replace, supplant, or reduce existing appropriations.

   (((2) The department shall report on its efforts and strategies to provide income to the developmental disabilities community trust account from the excess property identified in subsection (1) of this section from the lease of the property, sale of timber, or other activity short of sale of the property. The department shall report by June 30, 2006))

(((3))) (6) The account shall be known as the Dan Thompson memorial developmental disabilities community trust account."

EFFECT: Removes Fircrest School as a residential habilitation center that can have proceeds from its excess property placed into the Dan Thompson account. Clarifies that real property is not deposited into the Dan Thompson Account.
