Synopsis as Enacted
Brief Description: Creating accounts for the center for childhood deafness and hearing loss and for the school for the blind.
Sponsors: House Committee on Ways & Means (originally sponsored by Representative Moeller; by request of Washington State School for the Blind and Center for Childhood Deafness).
House Committee on Ways & Means
Senate Committee on Ways & Means
Background:
The Washington State Center for Childhood Deafness and Hearing Loss and the Washington State School for the Blind are residential schools located in Vancouver, Washington.
Fees collected from the following sources are deposited into the respective schools' General Fund-Local Account with permission of the Office of Financial Management (OFM): (1) fees for services charged to out-of-state residents; and (2) charges for contracts with school districts for students serviced by the district, who seek additional consultation or advice from the schools.
Recently, accounting functions were transferred from the schools to the Small Agency Client Services (SACS). The SACS informed the schools and the OFM that depositing these funds into the General Fund-Local Account would not allow the schools to carry funds forward from year to year, as had previously been allowed by the OFM.
Summary:
Two accounts are created, one for the Washington State Center for Childhood Deafness and Hearing Loss and one for the Washington State School for the Blind. These accounts are to be used for fees for contracts, tuition, donations, and other incomes. The accounts are allotted but nonappropriated, and the accounts will retain their interest earnings.
