BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1 RCW 43.43.944 and 2005 c 518 s 929 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1) The fire service training account is hereby established in the
state treasury. The fund shall consist of:
(a) All fees received by the Washington state patrol for fire
service training;
(b) All grants and bequests accepted by the Washington state patrol
under RCW 43.43.940; ((and))
(c) Twenty percent of all moneys received by the state on fire
insurance premiums; and
(d) General fund--state moneys appropriated into the account by the
legislature.
(2) Moneys in the account may be appropriated only for fire service
training. ((During the 2005-2007 fiscal biennium, the legislature may
appropriate funds from this account for school fire prevention
activities within the Washington state patrol.)) The state patrol may
use amounts appropriated from the fire service training account under
this section to contract with the Washington state firefighters
apprenticeship trust for the operation of the firefighter joint
apprenticeship training program. The contract may call for payments on
a monthly basis.
(3) Any general fund--state moneys appropriated into the account
shall be allocated solely to the firefighter joint apprenticeship
training program. The Washington state patrol may contract with
outside entities for the administration and delivery of the firefighter
joint apprenticeship training program.

act, referencing this act by bill or chapter number, is not provided by
June 30, 2007, in the omnibus appropriations act, this act is null and
void.
