condition including health and safety considerations, type, size,
current use, enrollment and space by grade level, information on
specialized educational spaces, functionality of space, energy
efficiency information, date and cost of original construction, date
and cost of any major remodeling or renovation, operations and
maintenance information and expenditures, and other data elements as
determined by the joint legislative audit and review committee.
(5) By January 1, 2009, the joint legislative audit and review
committee shall provide a report to the appropriate legislative fiscal
committees on the following: (a) A proposed scope of work for the
facility condition and inventory system pilot project; (b)
identification of current sources of school district facility
information and where the data resides; (c) recommended criteria for
evaluating school facilities; (d) potential school district
participants; (e) an implementation plan for the pilot group of school
districts; and (f) a review of other states' scope and use of public
school facility condition and inventory information.
(6) By January 1, 2010, the joint legislative audit and review
committee shall submit findings and recommendations on the pilot
program to the appropriate legislative fiscal committees. At a
minimum, the final report must include the following: (a) A summary of
data collected and analyzed for each participating school district; (b)
an analysis of study and survey data for several participating school
districts compared to an independent facility assessment; (c) a
cost/benefit analysis of expanding the pilot to school districts
statewide, including potential timelines; (d) possible methods and
frequency for collecting, inventorying, updating, and sharing facility
information by the office of the superintendent of public instruction;
(e) possible interaction of a facility condition and inventory system
with the statewide first responder building mapping system and other
data collection efforts that are ongoing, including student educational
data managed by the office of the superintendent of public instruction;
(f) methods that allow for the efficient transfer of information
between school districts and the facility condition and inventory
system; and (g) other recommendations as determined by the joint
legislative audit and review committee.

Infrastructure Investment System (08-2-859)
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following
conditions and limitations: The legislature intends to begin a process
of reevaluating the policy goals and priorities for the allocation of
infrastructure assistance program funds through the use of information
that is available and reviewed each biennium by the infrastructure
programs.
(1) The appropriation in this section is provided solely for the
office of financial management, in cooperation with the department of
community, trade, and economic development, the department of ecology,
the department of health, the transportation improvement board, and the
office of the state treasurer to develop an implementation plan. The
implementation plan will also be developed in consultation with
existing and potential state infrastructure program grant and loan
recipients, other stakeholders, and the legislature. The
implementation plan must identify options for the organization and
coordination of appropriate state infrastructure assistance programs
into an improved infrastructure investment system. The implementation
plan must identify opportunities for the improved infrastructure
investment system to achieve the following:
(a) Ease of access to program information and applications;
(b) Access to technical assistance;
(c) Coordination of program investment to ensure that all budget
and tax support from all state sources is disclosed and considered as
a total package of assistance. This includes the identification of
taxes paid by taxing districts and regions and the benefits received
from those same districts and regions;
(d) The promotion of strategic investments of state resources that
are aligned with state policy goals, which includes laws,
administrative rules, and program policies;
(e) The reduction of the cost of private market borrowing for
jurisdictions with higher costs;
(f) The identification of additional revenue for local
infrastructure; and
(g) Effective and efficient program administration.
(2) The development of an implementation plan must build upon prior
studies and inventories of infrastructure programs and a further
analysis of the major local infrastructure assistance programs. The
implementation plan must be based on analysis, including the following:
(a) Identification of the benefits from state grants and interest
rate subsidies to rate payers and local tax payers;
(b) A comparison of state policy goals, which are primary
considerations in determining project funding decisions, with the
actual funding decisions, the criteria used to rank proposals, and the
performance measures used to monitor the success of the programs;
(c) The compilation of the total amount of assistance received by
jurisdictions over the past five biennia;
(d) A comparison of the terms of a sample of low-interest loans
provided to public infrastructure projects with the terms of private
market borrowing that the jurisdictions would have been able to obtain.
The sample of loans must include different types and sizes of projects
and jurisdictions; and
(e) An identification of funds leveraged with state infrastructure
resources.
(3) The legislature also intends to use information from the
multiple infrastructure assistance programs to provide direction for
future funding priorities. The legislature will base those priorities
on information from infrastructure assistance programs, including the
programs' recommendations for the following:
(a) Needed investment for the different types of infrastructure
projects over the next six years;
(b) Funding allocation of the projected existing state
infrastructure assistance resources to those types of projects;
(c) Reallocation of existing state resources for infrastructure
projects; and
(d) New and existing local and state revenue sources to address
unfunded local infrastructure needs. In estimating the needed
investment for different types of infrastructure projects,
infrastructure assistance programs may include in their recommendations
new types of projects that are not authorized in statute.
(4) The implementation plan and analysis must be completed by
December 1, 2008.

state's responsibility for the expansion of baccalaureate and graduate
educational programs in the central Puget Sound area, the University of
Washington shall govern and operate an additional branch campus to be
located in the Snohomish/Island/Skagit county area. Top priorities for
the campus include expansion of upper division capacity for transfer
students and graduate students in high demand programs, with a
particular focus on science, technology, and engineering. The campus
may offer lower division courses linked to specific majors in fields
not addressed at local community colleges. The campus may also
directly admit freshmen and sophomores gradually and deliberately in
accordance with a campus plan to be submitted to the higher education
coordinating board. All student admissions will be carried out in

Washington are directed to assess options and make recommendations on
the siting of the branch campus in the Snohomish/Island/Skagit county
region and shall develop operational and management plans needed to
establish the institution. The plans shall include but not be limited
to a master business plan for design and implementation, and programs
to be offered to address demographic pressures and workforce needs.
Planning and analysis shall be done in coordination with the local
community and existing higher education institutions. Site selection
criteria shall include, but not be limited to: Meeting the objectives
of the master business plan; meeting the unmet baccalaureate needs in
the region, including high demand program needs; compliance with
provisions of the state's growth management act; and accessibility from
existing and planned transportation infrastructure.
(3) Five years from the time the first class of students enters the
new institution, the higher education coordinating board will work with
the new institution and a local advisory board to: (a) Review the
extent to which the new institution is meeting the baccalaureate degree
needs of the citizens and businesses of the region and state; (b)
assess any additional steps needed to accomplish the goals set forth in
subsection (1) of this section, and; (c) assess the relationship
between the new institution and other higher education institutions in
the region and the state.
(4) The state board for community and technical colleges and the
University of Washington shall plan for transition of appropriate
programs from the university center to upper division programs at the
branch campus.
(5) The office of financial management and the University of
Washington shall report to the governor and the appropriate committees
of the senate and house of representatives by November 15, 2007, on
campus siting recommendations and a preliminary design and
implementation plan. ((The final design and implementation plan shall
be delivered to the governor and the appropriate committees of the
senate and house of representatives by June 1, 2008.))

The appropriation in this section is subject to the following
conditions and limitations: Planning funds are provided solely to
lease/develop state office buildings and facilities for the department
of information services on the "Wheeler block" of the east capitol
campus. The office buildings shall be constructed and financed so that
agencies' occupancy costs per gross square foot or per employee will
not exceed 110 percent of comparable private market rental rates per
gross square foot or per employee. The comparable general office space
rate shall be calculated based on recent Thurston county leases of new
space of at least 100,000 rentable square feet adjusted for known
escalation clauses, expected inflation, and differences in the level of
service provided by the comparable leases as determined by the
department in consultation with the department of general
administration. In addition to the department of information services,
state agency tenants shall include the state patrol and general office
facilities for small agencies and offices. The department shall design
and operate the general office facilities for small agencies and
offices as a demonstration of the efficiencies gained from the
integration of office space and telecommunications and computer
technology. The demonstration project shall provide office space,
furniture, and telecommunications and computer technology as a single
package. The facility shall be designed so that small agencies and
offices can move in and out of the facility without the typical moving
expenses that result from individual agency ownership of furniture and
technology. The facility for small agencies and offices shall also
provide for staffing and space efficiencies resulting from central
reception, and support services and spaces. The department of general
administration shall coordinate with state agency tenants of the
existing general administration building that will not be relocated to
the new facilities of the "Wheeler block" for occupancy of state-owned
or existing leased facilities ((vacated by the state patrol or the
department of information services)) within Thurston county prior to
relocation to new or not currently state-owned or leased facilities.
The department shall consider alternatives for backfilling vacated
state patrol or department of information services leased facilities
when possible.

Flood Protection Study (08-2-855)
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following
conditions and limitations:
The legislature finds that levees across the state provide
protection to hundreds of communities from flooding. Many of these
levee systems are old, built with substandard materials, and were not
designed to provide the level of protection that the communities behind
them need. Recent decertification of levees in King and Pierce
counties by the United States army corps of engineers indicates a
growing problem with levee maintenance. As more levees are
decertified, land behind those levees is considered to be located in
the regulated floodplain. Because of this, many homeowners and
businesses must obtain flood insurance, and new construction projects
must meet strict new building codes.
Therefore, the appropriation in this section is provided solely for
the department to conduct a study to determine the number of
decertified levees in the state and to identify strategies for
recertifying the levees so that they provide optimum protection for the
communities protected by the levees. The department must prioritize
areas to include in the study based on population and the economic
impact of potential flood damage.
The study shall include the following components:
(1) A working group of levee managers to advise and inform the
study;
(2) A technical review of the structural integrity of levee
systems;
(3) An inventory, map, and rate the effectiveness of existing levee
systems; and
(4) The development of strategies and actions needed to improve the
existing levee system and to ensure certification by the United States
army corps of engineers for one-hundred year flood protection.
The study must be completed and a report provided to the
appropriate legislative committees by July 1, 2009.

Trust Land Transfer (08-2-005)
The appropriations in this section are subject to the following
conditions and limitations:
(1) The total appropriation is provided to the department solely to
transfer from trust status, or enter into fifty year leases for,
certain trust lands of statewide significance deemed appropriate for
state park, fish and wildlife habitat, natural area preserve, natural
resources conservation area, open space, housing and essential
government services, or recreation purposes. The approved list of
projects is identified in the LEAP capital document 2007-5, developed
((March 20)) April 19, 2007.
(((3))) (2) Property subject to lease agreements under this section
shall be appraised at fair market value. Lease terms shall be fifty
years with options to renew for an additional fifty years. Lease
payments shall be lump sum payments for the entire term of the lease at
the beginning of the lease. The department shall calculate such lump
sum payments using professional appraisal standards. These lease
payments may not exceed the fee simple purchase price based on current
fair market value and shall be deposited by the department to the
common school construction account in the same manner as lease revenues
from other common school trust lands. No deduction shall be made for
the resource management cost account under RCW 79.64.040.
(((4))) (3) All reasonable costs incurred by the department to
implement this section are authorized to be paid out of the
appropriations. Authorized costs include the actual cost of
appraisals, staff time, environmental reviews, surveys, and other
similar costs.
(((5))) (4) Intergrant exchanges between common school and other
trust lands of equal value may occur if the exchange is in the interest
of each trust, as determined by the board of natural resources.
(((6))) (5) Prior to or concurrent with conveyance of these
properties, the department, with full cooperation of the receiving
agencies, shall execute and record a real property instrument that
dedicates the transferred properties to the purposes identified in
subsection (1) of this section. Transfer and lease agreements for
properties identified in subsection (1) of this section must include
terms that restrict the use of the property to the intended purpose.
Transfer and lease agreements may include provisions for receiving
agencies to request alternative uses of the property, provided the
alternative uses are compatible with the original intended public
purpose and the department and legislature approves such uses.
(((7))) (6) The department and receiving agencies shall work in
good faith to carry out the intent of this section. However, the
department or receiving agencies may remove a property from the
transfer list based on new, substantive information, if it is
determined that transfer of the property is not in the statewide
interest of either the common school trust or the receiving agency.
(((8))) (7) The department shall execute trust land transfers that,
after the deduction of reasonable costs as provided in subsection
(((4))) (3) of this section, eighty percent of the total value of
transferred property is timber value and is deposited in the common
school construction account. To achieve the eighty percent
requirement, the department may choose to lease properties originally
intended as transfers.
(((9))) (8) On June 30, 2009, the state treasurer shall transfer
all remaining uncommitted funds from this appropriation to the common
school construction account and the appropriations in this section
shall be reduced by an equivalent amount.

Conversion Land Acquisition (08-1-950)
The appropriations in this section are subject to the following
conditions and limitations: The appropriations are provided solely for
acquisition of working forest lands at risk of conversion to nonforest
uses. The legislature finds that the chronic loss of working forest
lands threatens the long-term prospects of the timber products
industry, which in turn threatens the long-term economic return for the
beneficiaries of state trust lands. Acquisition of these conversion
lands is intended to help stabilize the primary source of revenue to
trust land beneficiaries. The department shall submit a report to the
appropriate committees of the legislature by October 1, 2008,
indicating the lands purchased under this section, showing the
locations, acres, purchase price, and within that purchase price, the
value of the property attributed to the future value of timber harvests
given an expected rate of return for timber lands, and the value of the
property attributed to future development of the property. It is the
intention of the legislature to lease or otherwise acquire the
development rights of these conversion lands and retain them as long-term working forest lands under the sustainable harvest plan. Working
forest lands acquired under this section shall be managed at a level
equal to or greater than seventy-five percent of the expected harvest
under the sustainable harvest plan. The appropriation provided in this
section shall lapse unless chapter 504, Laws of 2007, or similar
provisions contained in other legislation, is enacted prior to June 30,
2007. No amounts appropriated in this section shall be expended on the
central cascade land exchange unless one of the two following
conditions are met: (1) The four Stemilt parcels in T21R20E are
excluded from the exchange; or (2) the four Stemilt parcels in T21R20E
are included in the exchange and the department and Chelan county, as
chair of the Stemilt partnership, agree on a plan for eventual
ownership, disposition, and management of the four Stemilt parcels.
The department shall manage cash balances in the natural resources real
property replacement account such that cash balances are sufficient for
the treasurer transfers required in section 6030 of this act. The
department may also transfer funds from the land bank subaccount of the
resource management cost account to the natural resources real property
replacement account to ensure sufficient cash balances.

Potential School Sites-State Trust Land Study (08-2-854)
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following
conditions and limitations:
(1) The joint legislative committee on school construction funding
finds that high growth school districts are often unable to acquire
lands best suited for siting new schools. Current funding capacity is

of the state competes with the present and future need for undeveloped
sites to build new schools.
(2) The appropriation in this section is provided solely for the
superintendent of public instruction and the commissioner of public
lands to establish a work group to analyze the feasibility of and
develop options for using existing state lands in high growth areas of
the state for potential future school sites. The work group shall:
(a) Prepare an inventory of existing state trust lands suitable for use
as school sites; (b) prepare a projection of the needs for school sites
in high growth school districts; and (c) develop options for holding
and valuing the land for future school district use that are consistent
with legal requirements and management objectives for state trust lands
and any other state lands.
(3) The work group shall report to the legislature by December 1,
2008.

property by the Washington state convention and trade center shall not
be impaired.
(8) Department of information services: Enter into a financing
contract for an amount approved by the office of financial management
for costs and financing expenses and required reserves pursuant to
chapter 39.94 RCW to lease develop or lease purchase a state general
office building and facilities for the department of information
services on the state-owned property called "the Wheeler block" in
Olympia. The office buildings shall be constructed and financed so
that agencies occupancy costs per gross square foot or per employee
will not exceed 110 percent of comparable private market rental rates
per gross square foot or per employee. The comparable general office
space rate shall be calculated based on recent Thurston county leases
of new space of at least 100,000 rentable square feet adjusted for
known escalation clauses, expected inflation, and differences in the
level of service provided by the comparable leases as determined by the
department in consultation with the department of general
administration. In addition to the department of information services,
state agency tenants shall include the consolidation of state patrol
offices and general office facilities for small agencies and offices.
The department of information services shall design and operate the
general office facilities for small agencies and offices as a
demonstration of the efficiencies gained from the integration of office
space and telecommunications and computer technology. The
demonstration project shall provide office space, furniture,
telecommunications, and computer technology as a single package. The
facility shall be designed so that small agencies and offices can move
in and out of the facility without the typical moving expenses that
result from individual agency ownership of furniture and technology.
The facility for small agencies and offices shall also provide for
staffing and space efficiencies resulting from central reception,
support services, and spaces. The office of financial management shall
certify to the state treasurer: (a) The project description and dollar
amount; and (b) that all requirements of this subsection (8) have been
met. Should the department of information services choose to use a
financing contract that does not provide for the issuance of
certificates of participation, the financing contract shall be subject
to approval by the state finance committee as required by RCW
39.94.010. In approving a financing contract not providing for the use
of certificates of participation, the state finance committee should be
reasonably certain that the contract is excluded from the computation
of indebtedness, particularly that the contract is not backed by the
full faith and credit of the state and the legislature is expressly not
obligated to appropriate funds to make payments. For purposes of this
section, "financing contract" includes but is not limited to a
certificate of participation and tax exempt financing similar to that
authorized in RCW 47.79.140.
(9) Office of the secretary of state: Enter into a financing
contract for up to (($112,942,000)) $134,935,000 plus financing

Sec. 6002 RCW 43.155.050 and 2007 c 520 s 6036 are each amended
to read as follows:
(1) The public works assistance account is hereby established in
the state treasury. Money may be placed in the public works assistance
account from the proceeds of bonds when authorized by the legislature
or from any other lawful source. Money in the public works assistance
account shall be used to make loans and to give financial guarantees to
local governments for public works projects. Moneys in the account may
also be appropriated to provide for state match requirements under
federal law for projects and activities conducted and financed by the
board under the drinking water assistance account. Not more than
fifteen percent of the biennial capital budget appropriation to the
public works board from this account may be expended or obligated for
preconstruction loans, emergency loans, or loans for capital facility
planning under this chapter; of this amount, not more than ten percent
of the biennial capital budget appropriation may be expended for
emergency loans and not more than one percent of the biennial capital
budget appropriation may be expended for capital facility planning
loans. For the 2007-2009 biennium, moneys in the account may be used
for grants for projects identified in section 138, chapter 488, Laws of
2005, for the infrastructure investment system implementation plan
identified in section 1022 of this act; for the interest rate buy-down
pilot program identified in section 1004 of this act; and for the
housing assistance, weatherization, and affordable housing program
identified in section 1005 of this act.
(2) The job development fund is hereby established in the state
treasury. Up to fifty million dollars each biennium from the public
works assistance account may be transferred into the job development
fund. Money in the job development fund may be used solely for job
development fund program grants, administrative expenses related to the
administration of the job development fund program created in RCW
43.160.230, and for the report prepared by the joint legislative audit
and review committee pursuant to RCW 44.28.801(2). Moneys in the job
development fund may be spent only after appropriation. The board
shall prepare a prioritized list of proposed projects of up to fifty
million dollars as part of the department's 2007-09 biennial budget
request. The board may provide an additional alternate job development
fund project list of up to ten million dollars. The legislature may
remove projects from the list recommended by the board. The
legislature may not change the prioritization of projects recommended
for funding by the board, but may add projects from the alternate list
in order of priority, as long as the total funding does not exceed
fifty million dollars.
Sec. 6003 RCW 48.02.190 and 2007 c 153 s 3 and 2007 c 468 s 1 are
each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
(1) As used in this section:
(a) "Organization" means every insurer, as defined in RCW
48.01.050, having a certificate of authority to do business in this
state, every health care service contractor, as defined in RCW
48.44.010, every health maintenance organization, as defined in RCW
48.46.020, or self-funded multiple employer welfare arrangement, as
defined in RCW 48.125.010, registered to do business in this state.
"Class one" organizations shall consist of all insurers as defined in
RCW 48.01.050. "Class two" organizations shall consist of all
organizations registered under provisions of chapters 48.44 and 48.46
RCW. "Class three" organizations shall consist of self-funded multiple
employer welfare arrangements as defined in RCW 48.125.010.
(b)(i) "Receipts" means (A) net direct premiums consisting of
direct gross premiums, as defined in RCW 48.18.170, paid for insurance
written or renewed upon risks or property resident, situated, or to be
performed in this state, less return premiums and premiums on policies
not taken, dividends paid or credited to policyholders on direct
business, and premiums received from policies or contracts issued in
connection with qualified plans as defined in RCW 48.14.021, and (B)
prepayments to health care service contractors, as defined in RCW
48.44.010, health maintenance organizations, as defined in RCW
48.46.020, or participant contributions to self-funded multiple
employer welfare arrangements, as defined in RCW 48.125.010, less
experience rating credits, dividends, prepayments returned to
subscribers, and payments for contracts not taken.
(ii) Participant contributions, under chapter 48.125 RCW, used to
determine the receipts in this state under this section shall be
determined in the same manner as premiums taxable in this state are
determined under RCW 48.14.090.
(c) "Regulatory surcharge" means the fees imposed by this section.
(2) The annual cost of operating the office of insurance
commissioner shall be determined by legislative appropriation. A pro
rata share of the cost shall be charged to all organizations as a
regulatory surcharge. Each class of organization shall contribute a
sufficient amount to the insurance commissioner's regulatory account to
pay the reasonable costs, including overhead, of regulating that class
of organization.
(3) The regulatory surcharge shall be calculated separately for
each class of organization. The regulatory surcharge collected from
each organization shall be that portion of the cost of operating the
insurance commissioner's office, for that class of organization, for
the ensuing fiscal year that is represented by the organization's
portion of the receipts collected or received by all organizations
within that class on business in this state during the previous
calendar year. However, the regulatory surcharge must not exceed one-eighth of one percent of receipts and the minimum regulatory surcharge
shall be one thousand dollars.
(4) The commissioner shall annually, on or before June 1st,
calculate and bill each organization for the amount of the regulatory
surcharge. The regulatory surcharge shall be due and payable no later
than June 15th of each year. However, if the necessary financial
records are not available or if the amount of the legislative
appropriation is not determined in time to carry out such calculations
and bill such regulatory surcharge within the time specified, the
commissioner may use the regulatory surcharge factors for the prior
year as the basis for the regulatory surcharge and, if necessary, the
commissioner may impose supplemental fees to fully and properly charge
the organizations. Any organization failing to pay the regulatory
surcharges by June 30th shall pay the same penalties as the penalties
for failure to pay taxes when due under RCW 48.14.060. The regulatory
surcharge required by this section is in addition to all other taxes
and fees now imposed or that may be subsequently imposed.
(5) All moneys collected shall be deposited in the insurance
commissioner's regulatory account in the state treasury which is hereby
created.
(6) Unexpended funds in the insurance commissioner's regulatory
account at the close of a fiscal year shall be carried forward in the
insurance commissioner's regulatory account to the succeeding fiscal
year and shall be used to reduce future regulatory surcharges. During
the 2007-2009 fiscal biennium, the legislature may transfer from the
insurance commissioner's regulatory account to the Washington state
heritage center account such amounts as reflect excess fund balance in
the account.
(7)(a) Each insurer may annually collect regulatory surcharges
remitted in preceding years by means of a policyholder surcharge on
premiums charged for all kinds of insurance. The recoupment shall be
at a uniform rate reasonably calculated to collect the regulatory
surcharge remitted by the insurer.
(b) If an insurer fails to collect the entire amount of the
recoupment in the first year under this section, it may repeat the
recoupment procedure provided for in this subsection (7) in succeeding
years until the regulatory surcharge is fully collected or a de minimis
amount remains uncollected. Any such de minimis amount may be
collected as provided in (d) of this subsection.
(c) The amount and nature of any recoupment shall be separately
stated on either a billing or policy declaration sent to an insured.
The amount of the recoupment must not be considered a premium for any
purpose, including the premium tax or agents' commissions.
(d) An insurer may elect not to collect the regulatory surcharge
from its insured. In such a case, the insurer may recoup the
regulatory surcharge through its rates, if the following requirements
are met:
(i) The insurer remits the amount of surcharge not collected by
election under this subsection; and
(ii) The surcharge is not considered a premium for any purpose,
including the premium tax or agents' commission.
Sec. 6004 RCW 79.64.020 and 2004 c 199 s 226 are each amended to
read as follows:
A resource management cost account in the state treasury is created
to be used solely for the purpose of defraying the costs and expenses
necessarily incurred by the department in managing and administering
state lands and aquatic lands and the making and administering of
leases, sales, contracts, licenses, permits, easements, and rights-of-way as authorized under the provisions of this title. Appropriations
from the resource management cost account to the department shall be
expended for no other purposes. Funds in the resource management cost
account may be appropriated or transferred by the legislature for the
benefit of all of the trusts from which the funds were derived. For
the 2007-2009 biennium, moneys in the account may be used for the
purposes identified in section 3044 of this act.
Sec. 6005 RCW 40.14.024 and 2003 c 163 s 3 are each amended to
read as follows:
The local government archives account is created in the state
treasury. All receipts collected by the county auditors under RCW
40.14.027 and 36.22.175 for local government services, such as
providing records scheduling, security microfilm inspection and
storage, archival preservation, cataloging, and indexing for local
government records and digital data and access to those records and
data through the regional branch archives of the division of archives
and records management, must be deposited into the account, and
expenditures from the account may be used only for these purposes.
During the 2007-2009 biennium, the legislature may transfer from the
local government archives account to the Washington state heritage
center account such amounts as reflect the excess fund balance in the
account.
Sec. 6006 RCW 36.22.175 and 2003 c 163 s 5 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1)(a) In addition to any other charge authorized by law, the
county auditor shall charge a surcharge of one dollar per instrument
for each document recorded. Revenue generated through this surcharge
shall be transmitted monthly to the state treasurer for deposit in the
local government archives account under RCW 40.14.024. These funds
shall be used solely for providing records scheduling, security
microfilm inspection and storage, archival preservation, cataloging,
and indexing for local government records and digital data and access
to those records and data through the regional branch archives of the
division of archives and records management.
(b) The division of archives and records management within the
office of the secretary of state shall provide records management
training for local governments and shall establish a competitive grant
program to solicit and prioritize project proposals from local
governments for potential funding to be paid for by funds from the
auditor surcharge and tax warrant surcharge revenues. Application for
specific projects may be made by local government agencies only. The
state archivist in consultation with the advisory committee established
under RCW 40.14.027 shall adopt rules governing project eligibility,
evaluation, awarding of grants, and other criteria including
requirements for records management training for grant recipients.
(2) The advisory committee established under RCW 40.14.027 shall
review grant proposals and establish a prioritized list of projects to
be considered for funding by January 1st of each even-numbered year,
beginning in 2002. The evaluation of proposals and development of the
prioritized list must be developed through open public meetings.
Funding for projects shall be granted according to the ranking of each
application on the prioritized list and projects will be funded only to
the extent that funds are available. A grant award may have an
effective date other than the date the project is placed on the
prioritized list.
(3)(a) In addition to any other surcharge authorized by law, the
county auditor shall charge a surcharge of one dollar per instrument
for every document recorded after January 1, 2002. Revenue generated
through this surcharge shall be transmitted to the state treasurer
monthly for deposit in the local government archives account under RCW
40.14.024 to be used exclusively for: (i) The construction and
improvement of a specialized regional facility located in eastern
Washington designed to serve the archives, records management, and
digital data management needs of local government; and (ii) payment of
the certificate of participation issued for the Washington state
heritage center to the extent there is an excess fund balance in the
account and fees generated under RCW 36.18.010 and 43.07.128 are
insufficient to meet debt service payments on the certificate of
participation.
(b) To the extent the facilities are used for the storage and
retrieval of state agency records and digital data, that portion of the
construction of such facilities used for state government records and
data shall be supported by other charges and fees paid by state
agencies and shall not be supported by the surcharge authorized in this
subsection, except that to the extent there is an excess fund balance
in the account and fees generated under RCW 36.18.010 and 43.07.128 are
insufficient to meet debt service payments for the Washington state
heritage center, the local government archives account under RCW
40.14.024 may be used for the Washington state heritage center.
(c) At such time that all debt service from construction ((on such
facility)) of the specialized regional archive facility located in
eastern Washington has been paid, fifty percent of the surcharge
authorized by this subsection shall be reverted to the centennial
document preservation and modernization account as prescribed in RCW
36.22.170 and fifty percent of the surcharge authorized by this section
shall be reverted to the state treasurer for deposit in the archives
and records management account to serve the archives, records
management, and digital data management needs of local government,
except that the state treasurer shall not revert funds to the
centennial document preservation and modernization account and to the
archives and records management account if fees generated under RCW
36.18.010 and 43.07.128 are insufficient to meet debt service payments
on the Washington state heritage center.
Sec. 6007 RCW 43.09.282 and 1995 c 301 s 20 are each amended to
read as follows:
For the purposes of centralized funding, accounting, and
distribution of the costs of the audits performed on local governments
by the state auditor, there is hereby created an account entitled the
municipal revolving account. The state treasurer shall be custodian of
the account. All moneys received by the state auditor or by any
officer or employee thereof shall be deposited with the state treasurer
and credited to the municipal revolving account. Only the state
auditor or the auditor's designee may authorize expenditures from the
account. No appropriation is required for expenditures. The state
auditor shall keep such records as are necessary to detail the auditing
costs attributable to the various types of local governments. During
the 2007-2009 fiscal biennium, the legislature may transfer from the
municipal revolving account to the Washington state heritage center
account such amounts as reflect excess fund balance in the account.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6008 A new section is added to 2007 c 520
(uncodified) to read as follows:
The joint legislative audit and review committee shall conduct an
evaluation of the accuracy of capital project cost estimates prepared
by state agencies for their budget requests. The evaluation shall
include a review of the methods used to prepare estimates at agencies
with large capital programs, a review of the process used by the office
of financial management and legislative fiscal committees to evaluate
project cost estimates, and an analysis of the accuracy of project cost
estimates compared to actual project costs over time for a subset of
projects. The evaluation will also recommend other areas of capital
project risk for assessment in future evaluations. The joint
legislative audit and review committee shall submit a report to the
relevant fiscal committees of the legislature by August 2009.
Sec. 6009 RCW 70.105D.070 and 2007 c 522 s 954, 2007 c 520 s

project that is referenced in the action agenda developed by the Puget
Sound partnership under RCW 90.71.310, shall, except as conditioned by

(5) One percent of the moneys deposited into the state and local
toxics control accounts shall be allocated only for public
participation grants to persons who may be adversely affected by a
release or threatened release of a hazardous substance and to not-for-profit public interest organizations. The primary purpose of these
grants is to facilitate the participation by persons and organizations
in the investigation and remedying of releases or threatened releases
of hazardous substances and to implement the state's solid and
hazardous waste management priorities. However, during the 1999-2001
fiscal biennium, funding may not be granted to entities engaged in
lobbying activities, and applicants may not be awarded grants if their
cumulative grant awards under this section exceed two hundred thousand

action agenda developed by the Puget Sound partnership under RCW
90.71.310.
(7) The department shall adopt rules for grant or loan issuance and
performance.
(8) During the 2007-2009 fiscal biennium, the legislature may
