    On page 12, after line 15, insert the following:

    "NEW SECTION.  Sec. 13. A new section is added to chapter 82.24 RCW to read as follows:

(1) "Local health jurisdiction" or "jurisdiction" means a county board of health organized under chapter 70.05 RCW, a health district organized under chapter 70.46 RCW, or a combined city and county health department organized under chapter 70.08 RCW.

(2) All increased revenues that are directly attributable to this act must be apportioned between local health jurisdictions as provided in subsection (3) of this section. 

    (3) The apportionment factor for each jurisdiction is the population of the jurisdiction's county as a percentage of the statewide population for the prior calendar year.  For two or more counties that have jointly created a health district under chapter 70.46 RCW, the combined population of all counties comprising the health district must be used."    

    Renumber the remaining section consecutively, correct any internal references accordingly, and correct the title.

EFFECT:   Requires revenues increased under the act to be apportioned between local health jurisdictions.  Apportionment for a jurisdiction is based on the population as a percentage or the statewide population in the preceding year.
