Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 82.18.040 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 48 s 7034 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Taxes collected under this chapter ((shall))
must be held in trust until paid to the state. Taxes received by the
state ((shall)) must be deposited in the public works assistance
account created in RCW 43.155.050((: PROVIDED, That during the fiscal year
2011)). However, for the period beginning July 1, 2011, and ending June
30, 2015, taxes received by the state under this chapter must be deposited
in the general fund ((for general purpose expenditures)). Any person
collecting the tax who appropriates or converts the tax collected ((shall be))
is guilty of a gross misdemeanor if the money required to be collected
is not available for payment on the date payment is due. If a taxpayer fails
to pay the tax imposed by this chapter to the person charged with collection of
the tax and the person charged with collection fails to pay the tax to the
department, the department may, in its discretion, proceed directly against the
taxpayer for collection of the tax.
(2) The tax ((shall be)) is due from
the taxpayer within twenty- five days from the date the taxpayer is billed by
the person collecting the tax.
(3) The tax ((shall be)) is due from
the person collecting the tax at the end of the tax period in which the tax is
received from the taxpayer. If the taxpayer remits only a portion of the total
amount billed for taxes, consideration, and related charges, the amount
remitted ((shall)) must be applied first to payment of the solid
waste collection tax and this tax ((shall have)) has priority
over all other claims to the amount remitted."
