NEW SECTION. Sec. 201 FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH
SERVICES
(1) The appropriations to the department of social and health
services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the
amounts specified in this act. Appropriations made in this act to the
department of social and health services shall initially be allotted as
required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not
include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as
expressly provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications
permit moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose to be
used for other than that purpose.
(2) The department of social and health services shall not initiate
any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys
unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The department
may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282,
federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal
funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in
excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the department receives
unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys shall be spent
for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation
providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated
state general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys
under this subsection, the office of financial management shall notify
the legislative fiscal committees. As used in this subsection,
"unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants and other funds
that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined
projects or matched on a formula basis by state funds.
(3)(a) The health care authority and the department are authorized
to develop an integrated health care program designed to slow the
progression of illness and disability and better manage medicaid
expenditures for the aged and disabled population. Under the
Washington medicaid integration partnership (WMIP) and the medicare
integrated care project (MICP), the health care authority and the
department may combine and transfer such medicaid funds appropriated
under sections 204, 206, 208, and 213 of this act as may be necessary
to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP and the MICP program
enrollment. The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily
enrollment of 6,000 persons, nor expand beyond one county during the
2011-2013 fiscal biennium. The amount of funding assigned from each
program may not exceed the average per capita cost assumed in this act
for individuals covered by that program, actuarially adjusted for the
health condition of persons enrolled, times the number of clients
enrolled. In implementing the WMIP and the MICP, the health care
authority and the department may: (i) Withhold from calculations of
"available resources" as set forth in RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the
capitated rate for enrolled individuals; and (ii) employ capitation
financing and risk-sharing arrangements in collaboration with health
care service contractors licensed by the office of the insurance
commissioner and qualified to participate in both the medicaid and
medicare programs. The health care authority and the department shall
conduct an evaluation of the WMIP by October 15, 2012, and of the MICP
measuring changes in participant health outcomes, changes in patterns
of service utilization, participant satisfaction, participant access to
services, and the state fiscal impact.
(b) If Washington is selected to participate in a financial
capitation model of the federal demonstration project for persons
dually-eligible for both medicare and medicaid, the department and the
authority may initiate the MICP. Participation in the project shall be
limited to persons who are eligible for both medicare and medicaid and
to counties in which the county legislative authority has agreed to the
terms and conditions under which it will operate. The purpose of the
project shall be to demonstrate and evaluate ways to improve care while
reducing state expenditures for persons enrolled both in medicare and
medicaid. To that end, prior to initiating the project, the department
and the authority shall assure that state expenditures shall be no
greater on either a per person or total basis than the state would
otherwise incur. Individuals who are solely eligible for medicaid may
also participate if their participation is agreed to by the health care
authority, the department, and the county legislative authority.
(4) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as
calculated by the department pursuant to the appropriations in this
act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by
efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality
services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care
and services are available to the extent that such care and services
are available to the general population in the geographic area. The
legislature finds that cost reports, payment data from the federal
government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input
constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(5) The department shall to the maximum extent practicable use the
same system for delivery of spoken-language interpreter services for
social services appointments as the one established for medical
appointments in section 213 of this act. When contracting directly
with an individual to deliver spoken language interpreter services, the
department shall only contract with language access providers who are
working at a location in the state and who are state-certified or
state-authorized, except that when such a provider is not available,
the department may use a language access provider who meets other
certifications or standards deemed to meet state standards, including
interpreters in other states.
(6)(a) The appropriations to the department of social and health
services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the
amounts specified in this act. However, after May 1, 2014, unless
specifically prohibited by this act, the department may transfer
general fund -- state appropriations for fiscal year 2014 among programs
after approval by the director of financial management. However, the
department shall not transfer state moneys that are provided solely for
a specified purpose except as expressly provided in (b) of this
subsection.
(b) To the extent that transfers under (a) of this subsection are
insufficient to fund actual expenditures in excess of fiscal year 2014
caseload forecasts and utilization assumptions in the long-term care,
foster care, adoptions support, medicaid personal care, and child
support programs, the department may transfer state moneys that are
provided solely for a specified purpose. The department shall not
transfer funds, and the director of financial management shall not
approve the transfer, unless the transfer is consistent with the
objective of conserving, to the maximum extent possible, the
expenditure of state funds. The director of financial management shall
notify the appropriate fiscal committees of the senate and house of
representatives in writing seven days prior to approving any allotment
modifications or transfers under this subsection. The written
notification shall include a narrative explanation and justification of
the changes, along with expenditures and allotments by budget unit and
appropriation, both before and after any allotment modifications or
transfers.

a block grant, rather than categorical funding, of consolidated
juvenile service funds, community juvenile accountability act grants,

for the evidence-based expansion grants shall be excluded from the
block grant formula. Funds may be used for promising practices when
approved by the juvenile rehabilitation administration and juvenile
courts, through the community juvenile accountability act committee,
based on the criteria established in consultation with Washington state
institute for public policy and the juvenile courts.
(b) The juvenile rehabilitation administration and the juvenile
courts shall establish a block grant funding formula oversight
committee with equal representation from the juvenile rehabilitation
administration and the juvenile courts. The purpose of this committee
is to assess the ongoing implementation of the block grant funding
formula, utilizing data-driven decision making and the most current
available information. The committee will be cochaired by the juvenile
rehabilitation administration and the juvenile courts, who will also
have the ability to change members of the committee as needed to
achieve its purpose. Initial members will include one juvenile court
representative from the finance committee, the community juvenile
accountability act committee, the risk assessment quality assurance
committee, the executive board of the Washington association of

research, and a representative of the superior court judges
association; two representatives from the juvenile rehabilitation
administration headquarters program oversight staff, two
representatives of the juvenile rehabilitation administration regional
office staff, one representative of the juvenile rehabilitation
administration fiscal staff and a juvenile rehabilitation
administration division director. The committee may make changes to
the formula categories other than the evidence-based program and
disposition alternative categories if it is determined the changes will
increase statewide service delivery or effectiveness of evidence-based
program or disposition alternative resulting in increased cost benefit
savings to the state. Long-term cost benefit must be considered.
Percentage changes may occur in the evidence-based program or
disposition alternative categories of the formula should it be
determined the changes will increase evidence-based program or
disposition alternative delivery and increase the cost benefit to the
state. These outcomes will also be considered in determining when
evidence-based expansion or special sex offender disposition
alternative funds should be included in the block grant or left
separate.
(c) The juvenile courts and administrative office of the courts
shall be responsible for collecting and distributing information and
providing access to the data systems to the juvenile rehabilitation
administration and the Washington state institute for public policy
related to program and outcome data. The juvenile rehabilitation
administration and the juvenile courts will work collaboratively to
develop program outcomes that reinforce the greatest cost benefit to
the state in the implementation of evidence-based practices and
disposition alternatives.
(8) The juvenile courts and administrative office of the courts
shall collect and distribute information related to program outcome and
provide access to these data systems to the juvenile rehabilitation
administration and Washington state institute for public policy.
Consistent with chapter 13.50 RCW, all confidentiality agreements
necessary to implement this information-sharing shall be approved
within 30 days of the effective date of this section. The agreements
between administrative office of the courts, the juvenile courts, and
the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall be executed to ensure
that the juvenile rehabilitation administration receives the data that
the juvenile rehabilitation administration identifies as needed to
comply with this subsection. This includes, but is not limited to,
information by program at the statewide aggregate level, individual
court level, and individual client level for the purpose of the
juvenile rehabilitation administration providing quality assurance and
oversight for the locally committed youth block grant and associated
funds and at times as specified by the juvenile rehabilitation
administration as necessary to carry out these functions. The data
shall be provided in a manner that reflects the collaborative work the
juvenile rehabilitation administration and juvenile courts have
developed regarding program outcomes that reinforce the greatest cost
benefit to the state in the implementation of evidence-based practices
and disposition alternatives.

The appropriations in this subsection are subject to the following
conditions and limitations:
(a) $114,542,000 of the general fund -- state appropriation for
fiscal year 2014 and $114,541,000 of the general fund -- state
appropriation for fiscal year 2015 are provided solely for persons and
services not covered by the medicaid program. To the extent possible,
levels of regional support network spending shall be maintained in the
following priority order: (i) Crisis and commitment services; (ii)
community inpatient services; and (iii) residential care services,
including personal care and emergency housing assistance.
(b) $6,590,000 of the general fund -- state appropriation for fiscal
year 2014, $6,590,000 of the general fund -- state appropriation for
fiscal year 2015, and $7,620,000 of the general fund -- federal
appropriation are provided solely for the department and regional
support networks to continue to contract for implementation of high-intensity programs for assertive community treatment (PACT) teams. In
determining the proportion of medicaid and nonmedicaid funding provided
to regional support networks with PACT teams, the department shall
consider the differences between regional support networks in the
percentages of services and other costs associated with the teams that
are not reimbursable under medicaid. The department may allow regional
support networks which have nonmedicaid reimbursable costs that are
higher than the nonmedicaid allocation they receive under this section
to supplement these funds with local dollars or funds received under
section 204(1)(a) of this act. The department and regional support
networks shall maintain consistency with all essential elements of the
PACT evidence-based practice model in programs funded under this
section.
(c) From the general fund -- state appropriations in this subsection,
the secretary of social and health services shall assure that regional
support networks reimburse the aging and disability services
administration for the general fund -- state cost of medicaid personal
care services that enrolled regional support network consumers use
because of their psychiatric disability.
(d) The department is authorized to continue to contract directly,
rather than through contracts with regional support networks, for
children's long-term inpatient facility services.
(e) Regional support networks may use local funds to earn
additional federal medicaid match, provided the locally matched rate
does not exceed the upper-bound of their federally allowable rate
range, and provided that the enhanced funding is used only to provide
medicaid state plan or waiver services to medicaid clients.
Additionally, regional support networks may use a portion of the state
funds allocated in accordance with (a) of this subsection to earn
additional medicaid match, but only to the extent that the application
of such funds to medicaid services does not diminish the level of
crisis and commitment, community inpatient, residential care, and

The appropriations in this section are subject to the following

(1) Within amounts appropriated in this section and sections 205
and 206 of this act, the health care authority shall continue to
provide an enhanced basic health plan subsidy for foster parents
licensed under chapter 74.15 RCW and workers in state-funded home care
programs through December 31, 2013. Under this enhanced subsidy
option, foster parents eligible to participate in the basic health plan
as subsidized enrollees and home care workers with family incomes below
200 percent of the federal poverty level shall be allowed to enroll in
the basic health plan at the minimum premium amount charged to
enrollees with incomes below sixty-five percent of the federal poverty
level.
(2) The health care authority shall require organizations and
individuals that are paid to deliver basic health plan services and
that choose to sponsor enrollment in the subsidized basic health plan
to pay 133 percent of the premium amount which would otherwise be due
from the sponsored enrollees through December 31, 2013, unless medicaid
expansion is not implemented.
(3) The administrator shall take at least the following actions to
assure that persons participating in the basic health plan are eligible
for the level of assistance they receive: (a) Require submission of
(i) income tax returns, and recent pay history, from all applicants, or
(ii) other verifiable evidence of earned and unearned income from those
persons not required to file income tax returns; (b) check employment
security payroll records at least once every twelve months on all
enrollees; (c) require enrollees whose income as indicated by payroll
records exceeds that upon which their subsidy is based to document
their current income as a condition of continued eligibility; (d)
require enrollees for whom employment security payroll records cannot
be obtained to document their current income at least once every six
months; (e) not reduce gross family income for self-employed persons by
noncash-flow expenses such as, but not limited to, depreciation,
amortization, and home office deductions, as defined by the United
States internal revenue service; and (f) pursue repayment and civil
penalties from persons who have received excessive subsidies, as
provided in RCW 70.47.060(9).
(4) Until December 31, 2013, enrollment in the subsidized basic
health plan shall be limited to only include persons who qualify as
subsidized enrollees as defined in RCW 70.47.020 and who (a) qualify
for services under 1115 medicaid demonstration project number 11-W-00254/10; or (b) are foster parents licensed under chapter 74.15 RCW.
(5) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload forecasts,
if the health care authority estimates that expenditures for the
medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, the health
care authority shall take steps including but not limited to reduction
of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce expenditures so
that total program costs do not exceed the annual appropriation
authority.
(6) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of
residence in an institution for mental diseases, the health care
authority shall provide the person with the same benefits as he or she
would receive if eligible for medicaid, using state-only funds to the
extent necessary.
(7) $4,261,000 of the general fund -- state appropriation for fiscal
year 2014, $4,261,000 of the general fund -- state appropriation for
fiscal year 2015, and $8,522,000 of the general fund -- federal
appropriation are provided solely for low-income disproportionate share
hospital payments under RCW 74.09.730(1)(a).
(8) $6,000,000 of the general fund -- federal appropriation is
provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated by
public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be
responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the
supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum
allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that the
payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset or
reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with part E
of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent that
costs otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement against
payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed solely because
such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the nursing home from
these supplemental payments. The supplemental payments are subject to
retrospective interim and final cost settlements based on the nursing
homes' as-filed and final medicare cost reports. The timing of the
interim and final cost settlements shall be at the health care
authority's discretion. During either the interim cost settlement or
the final cost settlement, the health care authority shall recoup from
the public hospital districts the supplemental payments that exceed the
medicaid cost limit and/or the medicare upper payment limit. The
health care authority shall apply federal rules for identifying the
eligible incurred medicaid costs and the medicare upper payment limit.
(9) The health care authority shall continue the inpatient hospital
certified public expenditures program for the 2013-2015 fiscal
biennium. The program shall apply to all public hospitals, including
those owned or operated by the state, except those classified as
critical access hospitals or state psychiatric institutions. The
health care authority shall submit reports to the governor and
legislature by November 1, 2013, and by November 1, 2014, that evaluate
whether savings continue to exceed costs for this program. If the
certified public expenditures (CPE) program in its current form is no
longer cost-effective to maintain, the health care authority shall
submit a report to the governor and legislature detailing cost-effective alternative uses of local, state, and federal resources as a
replacement for this program. During fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year
2015, hospitals in the program shall be paid and shall retain one
hundred percent of the federal portion of the allowable hospital cost
for each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service claim payable by medical
assistance and one hundred percent of the federal portion of the
maximum disproportionate share hospital payment allowable under federal
regulations. Inpatient medicaid payments shall be established using an
allowable methodology that approximates the cost of claims submitted by
the hospitals. Payments made to each hospital in the program in each
fiscal year of the biennium shall be compared to a baseline amount.
The baseline amount will be determined by the total of (a) the
inpatient claim payment amounts that would have been paid during the
fiscal year had the hospital not been in the CPE program based on the
reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and consistent with
policies approved in the 2011-13 biennial operating appropriations act
and in effect on July 1, 2011, (b) one half of the indigent assistance
disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by
each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and (c) all of the other
disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by
each hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the extent the same
disproportionate share hospital programs exist in the 2011-13 biennium.
If payments during the fiscal year exceed the hospital's baseline
amount, no additional payments will be made to the hospital except the
federal portion of allowable disproportionate share hospital payments
for which the hospital can certify allowable match. If payments during
the fiscal year are less than the baseline amount, the hospital will be
paid a state grant equal to the difference between payments during the
fiscal year and the applicable baseline amount. Payment of the state
grant shall be made in the applicable fiscal year and distributed in
monthly payments. The grants will be recalculated and redistributed as
the baseline is updated during the fiscal year. The grant payments are
subject to an interim settlement within eleven months after the end of
the fiscal year. A final settlement shall be performed. To the extent
that either settlement determines that a hospital has received funds in
excess of what it would have received as described in this subsection,
the hospital must repay the excess amounts to the state when requested.
$4,805,000 of the general fund -- state appropriation for fiscal year
2014, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in section 204(1) of this
act, and $1,146,000 of the general fund -- state appropriation for fiscal
year 2015, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in section 204(1) of
this act, are provided solely for state grants for the participating
hospitals. CPE hospitals will receive the inpatient and outpatient
reimbursement rate restorations in RCW 74.60.080 and rate increases in
RCW 74.60.090 funded through the hospital safety net assessment fund
rather than through the baseline mechanism specified in this
subsection.
(10) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health
care authority shall provide disproportionate share hospital payments
to hospitals that provide services to children in the children's health
program who are not eligible for services under Title XIX or XXI of the
federal social security act due to their citizenship status.
(11) The department shall purchase a brand name drug when it
determines that the cost of the brand name drug after rebates is less
than the cost of generic alternatives and that purchase of the brand
rather than generic version can save at least $250,000. The department
may purchase generic alternatives when changes in market prices make
the price of the brand name drug after rebates more expensive than the
generic alternatives.
(12) The health care authority shall not initiate any services that
require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly
authorized in this act or other law. The health care authority may
seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282,
federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal
funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in
excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the health care
authority receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those
moneys shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any
other legislation providing appropriation authority, and an equal
amount of appropriated state general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the
lapsing of any moneys under this subsection, the office of financial
management shall notify the legislative fiscal committees. As used in
this subsection, "unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants
and other funds that federal law does not require to be spent on
specifically defined projects or matched on a formula basis by state
funds.
(13) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as
calculated by the health care authority pursuant to the appropriations
in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by
efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality
services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care
and services are available to the extent that such care and services
are available to the general population in the geographic area. The
legislature finds that the cost reports, payment data from the federal
government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input
constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(14) Within amounts appropriated, the health care authority shall
conduct a review of its management and staffing structure to identify
efficiencies and opportunities to reduce full time equivalent employees
and other administrative costs. A report summarizing the review and
the authority's recommendations to reduce costs and full time
equivalent employees must be submitted to the governor and legislature
by November 1, 2013.

exceed one year from the expiration date stated in the agreement.
Thereafter, the employer may unilaterally implement according to law.
(8) For the ((2011-2013)) 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, a collective
bargaining agreement related to employee health care benefits
negotiated between the employer and coalition pursuant to RCW
41.80.020(3) regarding the dollar amount expended on behalf of each
employee shall be a separate agreement for which the governor may
request funds necessary to implement the agreement. ((If such an
agreement is negotiated and funded by the legislature, this agreement
will supersede any terms and conditions of an expired 2009-2011
biennial master collective bargaining agreement under this chapter
regarding health care benefits.)) The legislature may act upon a
2013-2015 collective bargaining agreement related to employee health
care benefits if an agreement is reached and submitted to the office of
financial management and legislative budget committees before final
legislative action on the biennial or supplemental operating
appropriations act by the sitting legislature.
Sec. 946 RCW 41.80.020 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 939 and 2011 1st
sp.s. c 43 s 445 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the matters
subject to bargaining include wages, hours, and other terms and
conditions of employment, and the negotiation of any question arising
under a collective bargaining agreement.
(2) The employer is not required to bargain over matters pertaining
to:
(a) Health care benefits or other employee insurance benefits,
except as required in subsection (3) of this section;

adopted under RCW 41.06.157.
(3) Matters subject to bargaining include the number of names to be
certified for vacancies, promotional preferences, and the dollar amount
expended on behalf of each employee for health care benefits. However,
except as provided otherwise in this subsection for institutions of
higher education, negotiations regarding the number of names to be
certified for vacancies, promotional preferences, and the dollar amount
expended on behalf of each employee for health care benefits shall be
conducted between the employer and one coalition of all the exclusive
bargaining representatives subject to this chapter. The exclusive
bargaining representatives for employees that are subject to chapter
47.64 RCW shall bargain the dollar amount expended on behalf of each
employee for health care benefits with the employer as part of the
coalition under this subsection. Any such provision agreed to by the
employer and the coalition shall be included in all master collective
bargaining agreements negotiated by the parties. For institutions of
higher education, promotional preferences and the number of names to be
certified for vacancies shall be bargained under the provisions of RCW
41.80.010(4). For agreements covering the ((2011-2013)) 2013-2015

regarding the dollar amount expended on behalf of each employee for
health care benefits is a separate agreement and shall not be included
in the master collective bargaining agreements negotiated by the
parties.
(4) The employer and the exclusive bargaining representative shall
not agree to any proposal that would prevent the implementation of
approved affirmative action plans or that would be inconsistent with
the comparable worth agreement that provided the basis for the salary
changes implemented beginning with the 1983-1985 biennium to achieve
comparable worth.
(5) The employer and the exclusive bargaining representative shall
not bargain over matters pertaining to management rights established in
RCW 41.80.040.
(6) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, if a conflict
exists between an executive order, administrative rule, or agency
policy relating to wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment
and a collective bargaining agreement negotiated under this chapter,
the collective bargaining agreement shall prevail. A provision of a
collective bargaining agreement that conflicts with the terms of a
statute is invalid and unenforceable.
(7) This section does not prohibit bargaining that affects
contracts authorized by RCW 41.06.142.
Sec. 947 RCW 43.08.190 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 941 are each

known as the "state treasurer's service fund." Such fund shall be used
solely for the payment of costs and expenses incurred in the operation

accounts specified in RCW 43.79A.040(4)(c). The allocation shall
precede the distribution of the remaining earnings as prescribed under
RCW 43.79A.040 and 43.84.092. The state treasurer shall establish a
uniform allocation rate for all funds and accounts; except that the
state treasurer may negotiate a different allocation rate with any
state agency that has independent authority over funds not statutorily
required to be held in the state treasury or in the custody of the
state treasurer. In no event shall the rate be less than the actual
costs incurred by the state treasurer's office. If no rate is
separately negotiated, the default rate for any funds held shall be the
rate set for funds held pursuant to statute.
During the 2009-2011 fiscal biennium and the 2011-2013 and 2013-2015 fiscal ((biennium)) biennia, the legislature may transfer from the
state treasurer's service fund to the state general fund such amounts
as reflect the excess fund balance of the fund.
Sec. 948 RCW 43.09.475 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 942 are each
amended to read as follows:

the custody of the state treasurer. Revenue identified in RCW

in the account shall be used to fund the performance audits and follow-up performance audits under RCW 43.09.470 and shall be expended by the
state auditor in accordance with chapter 1, Laws of 2006. Only the
state auditor or the state auditor's designee may authorize
expenditures from the account. The account is subject to allotment
procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but an appropriation is not
required for expenditures. ((During the 2009-2011 fiscal biennium, the
legislature may transfer from the performance audits of government
account to the state general fund such amounts as deemed to be
appropriate or necessary.)) During (([the] 2011-2013)) the 2013-2015
fiscal biennium, the performance audits of government account may be
appropriated for fraud investigations in the state auditor's office and
the department of social and health services((, audit and collection
functions in the department of revenue,)) and audits of school
districts. In addition, during the ((2011-2013)) 2013-2015 fiscal
biennium the account may be used to fund the office of financial
management's contract for the compliance audit of the state auditor.

amended to read as follows:

manufacturers, exclusive of costs and attorneys' fees, shall be

(2) The tobacco settlement account is created in the state
treasury. Moneys in the tobacco settlement account may only be
transferred to the state general fund, and to the tobacco prevention
and control account for purposes set forth in this section. The
legislature shall transfer amounts received as strategic contribution
payments as defined in RCW 43.350.010 to the life sciences discovery
fund created in RCW 43.350.070. During the 2009-2011 and 2011-2013
fiscal biennia, the legislature may transfer less than the entire
strategic contribution payments, and may transfer amounts attributable
to strategic contribution payments into the basic health plan
stabilization account. During the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, the
legislature may transfer less than the entire strategic contribution
payments, and may transfer amounts attributable to strategic
contribution payments into the state general fund.
(3) The tobacco prevention and control account is created in the
state treasury. The source of revenue for this account is moneys
transferred to the account from the tobacco settlement account,
investment earnings, donations to the account, and other revenues as
directed by law. Expenditures from the account are subject to
appropriation. During the 2009-2011 fiscal biennium, the legislature
may transfer from the tobacco prevention and control account to the
state general fund such amounts as represent the excess fund balance of
the account.

must transfer into the county criminal justice assistance account from
the general fund the sum of twenty-three million two hundred thousand
dollars divided into four equal deposits occurring on July 1, October
1, January 1, and April 1. For each fiscal year thereafter, the state

account for distribution under this section, less any moneys
appropriated for purposes under subsection (4) of this section, must be
distributed at such times as distributions are made under RCW 82.44.150
and on the relative basis of each county's funding factor as determined
under this subsection.
(a) A county's funding factor is the sum of:
(i) The population of the county, divided by one thousand, and
multiplied by two-tenths;
(ii) The crime rate of the county, multiplied by three-tenths; and
(iii) The annual number of criminal cases filed in the county
superior court, for each one thousand in population, multiplied by
five-tenths.

(i) The population of the county or city is as last determined by
the office of financial management;
(ii) The crime rate of the county or city is the annual occurrence
of specified criminal offenses, as calculated in the most recent annual
report on crime in Washington state as published by the Washington
association of sheriffs and police chiefs, for each one thousand in
population;
(iii) The annual number of criminal cases filed in the county
superior court must be determined by the most recent annual report of
the courts of Washington, as published by the administrative office of
the courts;
(iv) Distributions and eligibility for distributions in the 1989-1991 biennium must be based on 1988 figures for both the crime rate as
described under (ii) of this subsection and the annual number of
criminal cases that are filed as described under (iii) of this
subsection. Future distributions must be based on the most recent
figures for both the crime rate as described under (ii) of this
subsection and the annual number of criminal cases that are filed as
described under (iii) of this subsection.
(3) Moneys distributed under this section must be expended
exclusively for criminal justice purposes and may not be used to

70.123.020, and (b) during the 2001-2003 fiscal biennium, juvenile
dispositional hearings relating to petitions for at-risk youth,
truancy, and children in need of services. Existing funding for

operating expenditures for criminal justice purposes. Calendar year
1989 actual operating expenditures for criminal justice purposes
exclude the following: Expenditures for extraordinary events not
likely to reoccur, changes in contract provisions for criminal justice
services, beyond the control of the local jurisdiction receiving the
services, and major nonrecurring capital expenditures.

criminal justice assistance account may be available for appropriations
for enhancements to the state patrol crime laboratory system and the
continuing costs related to these enhancements. Funds appropriated
from this account for such enhancements may not supplant existing funds
from the state general fund.
(5) During the 2011-2013 and 2013-2015 fiscal ((biennium)) biennia,
the amount that would otherwise be transferred into the county criminal
justice assistance account from the general fund under subsection (1)
of this section must be reduced by 3.4 percent.
Sec. 960 RCW 82.14.320 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 971 are each
amended to read as follows:
(1) The municipal criminal justice assistance account is created in
the state treasury. Beginning in fiscal year 2000, the state treasurer
must transfer into the municipal criminal justice assistance account
for distribution under this section from the general fund the sum of
four million six hundred thousand dollars divided into four equal
deposits occurring on July 1, October 1, January 1, and April 1. For
each fiscal year thereafter, the state treasurer must increase the
total transfer by the fiscal growth factor, as defined in RCW
43.135.025, forecast for that fiscal year by the office of financial
management in November of the preceding year.
(2) No city may receive a distribution under this section from the
municipal criminal justice assistance account unless:
(a) The city has a crime rate in excess of one hundred twenty-five
percent of the statewide average as calculated in the most recent
annual report on crime in Washington state as published by the
Washington association of sheriffs and police chiefs;
(b) The city has levied the tax authorized in RCW 82.14.030(2) at
the maximum rate or the tax authorized in RCW 82.46.010(3) at the

82.14.030(1) at the maximum rate of less than one hundred fifty percent
of the statewide average per capita yield for all cities from such
local sales and use tax.
(3) The moneys deposited in the municipal criminal justice
assistance account for distribution under this section, less any moneys
appropriated for purposes under subsection (7) of this section, must be
distributed at such times as distributions are made under RCW
82.44.150. The distributions must be made as follows:
(a) Unless reduced by this subsection, thirty percent of the moneys
must be distributed ratably based on population as last determined by
the office of financial management to those cities eligible under
subsection (2) of this section that have a crime rate determined under
subsection (2)(a) of this section which is greater than one hundred
seventy-five percent of the statewide average crime rate. No city may
receive more than fifty percent of any moneys distributed under this
subsection (a) but, if a city distribution is reduced as a result of
exceeding the fifty percent limitation, the amount not distributed must
be distributed under (b) of this subsection.
(b) The remainder of the moneys, including any moneys not
distributed in subsection (2)(a) of this section, must be distributed
to all cities eligible under subsection (2) of this section ratably
based on population as last determined by the office of financial
management.
(4) No city may receive more than thirty percent of all moneys
distributed under subsection (3) of this section.
(5) Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, the
distributions to any city that substantially decriminalizes or repeals
its criminal code after July 1, 1990, and that does not reimburse the
county for costs associated with criminal cases under RCW 3.50.800 or
3.50.805(2), must be made to the county in which the city is located.
(6) Moneys distributed under this section must be expended
exclusively for criminal justice purposes and may not be used to
replace or supplant existing funding. Criminal justice purposes are
defined as activities that substantially assist the criminal justice
system, which may include circumstances where ancillary benefit to the
civil justice system occurs, and which includes domestic violence
services such as those provided by domestic violence programs,
community advocates, and legal advocates, as defined in RCW 70.123.020,
and publications and public educational efforts designed to provide
information and assistance to parents in dealing with runaway or at-risk youth. Existing funding for purposes of this subsection is
defined as calendar year 1989 actual operating expenditures for
criminal justice purposes. Calendar year 1989 actual operating
expenditures for criminal justice purposes exclude the following:
Expenditures for extraordinary events not likely to reoccur, changes in
contract provisions for criminal justice services, beyond the control
of the local jurisdiction receiving the services, and major
nonrecurring capital expenditures.
(7) Not more than five percent of the funds deposited to the
municipal criminal justice assistance account may be available for
appropriations for enhancements to the state patrol crime laboratory
system and the continuing costs related to these enhancements. Funds
appropriated from this account for such enhancements may not supplant
existing funds from the state general fund.
(8) During the 2011-2013 and 2013-2015 fiscal ((biennium)) biennia,
the amount that would otherwise be transferred into the municipal
criminal justice assistance account from the general fund under
subsection (1) of this section must be reduced by 3.4 percent.
Sec. 961 RCW 82.14.330 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 972 are each
amended to read as follows:
(1)(a) Beginning in fiscal year 2000, the state treasurer must
transfer into the municipal criminal justice assistance account for
distribution under this section from the general fund the sum of four
million six hundred thousand dollars divided into four equal deposits
occurring on July 1, October 1, January 1, and April 1. For each
fiscal year thereafter, the state treasurer must increase the total
transfer by the fiscal growth factor, as defined in RCW 43.135.025,
forecast for that fiscal year by the office of financial management in
November of the preceding year. The moneys deposited in the municipal
criminal justice assistance account for distribution under this
section, less any moneys appropriated for purposes under subsection (4)
of this section, must be distributed to the cities of the state as
follows:
(i) Twenty percent appropriated for distribution must be
distributed to cities with a three-year average violent crime rate for
each one thousand in population in excess of one hundred fifty percent
of the statewide three-year average violent crime rate for each one
thousand in population. The three-year average violent crime rate must
be calculated using the violent crime rates for each of the preceding
three years from the annual reports on crime in Washington state as
published by the Washington association of sheriffs and police chiefs.
Moneys must be distributed under this subsection (1)(a) ratably based
on population as last determined by the office of financial management,
but no city may receive more than one dollar per capita. Moneys
remaining undistributed under this subsection at the end of each
calendar year must be distributed to the criminal justice training
commission to reimburse participating city law enforcement agencies
with ten or fewer full-time commissioned patrol officers the cost of
temporary replacement of each officer who is enrolled in basic law
enforcement training, as provided in RCW 43.101.200.
(ii) Sixteen percent must be distributed to cities ratably based on
population as last determined by the office of financial management,
but no city may receive less than one thousand dollars.

assistance account for distribution under this subsection (1) must be
distributed at such times as distributions are made under RCW
82.44.150.
(c) Moneys distributed under this subsection (1) must be expended
exclusively for criminal justice purposes and may not be used to
replace or supplant existing funding. Criminal justice purposes are
defined as activities that substantially assist the criminal justice
system, which may include circumstances where ancillary benefit to the
civil justice system occurs, and which includes domestic violence
services such as those provided by domestic violence programs,
community advocates, and legal advocates, as defined in RCW 70.123.020.
Existing funding for purposes of this subsection is defined as calendar
year 1989 actual operating expenditures for criminal justice purposes.
Calendar year 1989 actual operating expenditures for criminal justice
purposes exclude the following: Expenditures for extraordinary events
not likely to reoccur, changes in contract provisions for criminal
justice services, beyond the control of the local jurisdiction
receiving the services, and major nonrecurring capital expenditures.
(2)(a) In addition to the distributions under subsection (1) of
this section:
(i) Ten percent must be distributed on a per capita basis to cities
that contract with another governmental agency for the majority of the
city's law enforcement services. Cities that subsequently qualify for
this distribution must notify the department of commerce by November
30th for the upcoming calendar year. The department of commerce must
provide a list of eligible cities to the state treasurer by December
31st. The state treasurer must modify the distribution of these funds
in the following year. Cities have the responsibility to notify the
department of commerce of any changes regarding these contractual
relationships. Adjustments in the distribution formula to add or
delete cities may be made only for the upcoming calendar year; no
adjustments may be made retroactively.
(ii) The remaining fifty-four percent must be distributed to cities
and towns by the state treasurer on a per capita basis. These funds
must be used for: (A) Innovative law enforcement strategies; (B)
programs to help at-risk children or child abuse victim response
programs; and (C) programs designed to reduce the level of domestic
violence or to provide counseling for domestic violence victims.
(b) The moneys deposited in the municipal criminal justice
assistance account for distribution under this subsection (2), less any
moneys appropriated for purposes under subsection (4) of this section,
must be distributed at the times as distributions are made under *RCW
82.44.150. Moneys remaining undistributed under this subsection at the
end of each calendar year must be distributed to the criminal justice
training commission to reimburse participating city law enforcement
agencies with ten or fewer full-time commissioned patrol officers the
cost of temporary replacement of each officer who is enrolled in basic
law enforcement training, as provided in RCW 43.101.200.
(c) If a city is found by the state auditor to have expended funds
received under this subsection (2) in a manner that does not comply
with the criteria under which the moneys were received, the city is
ineligible to receive future distributions under this subsection (2)
until the use of the moneys are justified to the satisfaction of the
director or are repaid to the state general fund.
(3) Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, the
distributions to any city that substantially decriminalizes or repeals
its criminal code after July 1, 1990, and that does not reimburse the
county for costs associated with criminal cases under RCW 3.50.800 or
3.50.805(2), must be made to the county in which the city is located.
(4) Not more than five percent of the funds deposited to the
municipal criminal justice assistance account may be available for
appropriations for enhancements to the state patrol crime laboratory
system and the continuing costs related to these enhancements. Funds
appropriated from this account for such enhancements may not supplant
existing funds from the state general fund.
(5) During the 2011-2013 and 2013-2015 fiscal ((biennium)) biennia,
the amount that would otherwise be transferred into the municipal
criminal justice assistance account from the general fund under
subsection (1) of this section must be reduced by 3.4 percent.
Sec. 962 RCW 82.14.390 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 973 are each
amended to read as follows:
(1) Except as provided in subsection (7) of this section, the
governing body of a public facilities district (a) created before July
31, 2002, under chapter 35.57 or 36.100 RCW that commences construction
of a new regional center, or improvement or rehabilitation of an
existing new regional center, before January 1, 2004; (b) created
before July 1, 2006, under chapter 35.57 RCW in a county or counties in
which there are no other public facilities districts on June 7, 2006,
and in which the total population in the public facilities district is
greater than ninety thousand that commences construction of a new
regional center before February 1, 2007; (c) created under the
authority of RCW 35.57.010(1)(d); or (d) created before September 1,
2007, under chapter 35.57 or 36.100 RCW, in a county or counties in
which there are no other public facilities districts on July 22, 2007,
and in which the total population in the public facilities district is
greater than seventy thousand, that commences construction of a new
regional center before January 1, 2009, or before January 1, 2011, in
the case of a new regional center in a county designated by the
president as a disaster area in December 2007, may impose a sales and
use tax in accordance with the terms of this chapter. The tax is in
addition to other taxes authorized by law and must be collected from
those persons who are taxable by the state under chapters 82.08 and
82.12 RCW upon the occurrence of any taxable event within the public
facilities district. The rate of tax may not exceed 0.033 percent of
the selling price in the case of a sales tax or value of the article
used in the case of a use tax.
(2)(a) The governing body of a public facilities district imposing
a sales and use tax under the authority of this section may increase
the rate of tax up to 0.037 percent if, within three fiscal years of
July 1, 2008, the department determines that, as a result of RCW
82.14.490 and the chapter 6, Laws of 2007 amendments to RCW 82.14.020,
a public facilities district's sales and use tax collections for fiscal
years after July 1, 2008, have been reduced by a net loss of at least
0.50 percent from the fiscal year before July 1, 2008. The fiscal year
in which this section becomes effective is the first fiscal year after
July 1, 2008.
(b) The department must determine sales and use tax collection net
losses under this section as provided in RCW 82.14.500 (2) and (3).
The department must provide written notice of its determinations to
public facilities districts. Determinations by the department of a
public facilities district's sales and use tax collection net losses as
a result of RCW 82.14.490 and the chapter 6, Laws of 2007 amendments to
RCW 82.14.020 are final and not appealable.
(c) A public facilities district may increase its rate of tax after
it has received written notice from the department as provided in (b)
of this subsection. The increase in the rate of tax must be made in
0.001 percent increments and must be the least amount necessary to
mitigate the net loss in sales and use tax collections as a result of
RCW 82.14.490 and the chapter 6, Laws of 2007 amendments to RCW
82.14.020. The increase in the rate of tax is subject to RCW
82.14.055.
(3) The tax imposed under subsection (1) of this section must be
deducted from the amount of tax otherwise required to be collected or
paid over to the department of revenue under chapter 82.08 or 82.12
RCW. The department of revenue must perform the collection of such
taxes on behalf of the county at no cost to the public facilities
district. During the ((2011-2013)) 2013-2015 fiscal biennium,
distributions by the state to a public facilities district based on the
additional rate authorized in subsection (2) of this section must be
reduced by 3.4 percent.
(4) No tax may be collected under this section before August 1,
2000. The tax imposed in this section expires when the bonds issued
for the construction of the regional center and related parking
facilities are retired, but not more than twenty-five years after the
tax is first collected.
(5) Moneys collected under this section may only be used for the
purposes set forth in RCW 35.57.020 and must be matched with an amount
from other public or private sources equal to thirty-three percent of
the amount collected under this section; however, amounts generated
from nonvoter approved taxes authorized under chapter 35.57 RCW or
nonvoter approved taxes authorized under chapter 36.100 RCW do not
constitute a public or private source. For the purpose of this
section, public or private sources includes, but is not limited to cash
or in-kind contributions used in all phases of the development or
improvement of the regional center, land that is donated and used for
the siting of the regional center, cash or in-kind contributions from
public or private foundations, or amounts attributed to private sector
partners as part of a public and private partnership agreement
negotiated by the public facilities district.
(6) The combined total tax levied under this section may not be
greater than 0.037 percent. If both a public facilities district
created under chapter 35.57 RCW and a public facilities district
created under chapter 36.100 RCW impose a tax under this section, the
tax imposed by a public facilities district created under chapter 35.57
RCW must be credited against the tax imposed by a public facilities
district created under chapter 36.100 RCW.
(7) A public facilities district created under chapter 36.100 RCW
is not eligible to impose the tax under this section if the legislative
authority of the county where the public facilities district is located
has imposed a sales and use tax under RCW 82.14.0485 or 82.14.0494.
Sec. 963 RCW 82.14.500 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 974 are each
amended to read as follows:
(1)(a) In order to mitigate local sales tax revenue net losses as
a result of the sourcing provisions of the streamlined sales and use
tax agreement under this title, the state treasurer, on July 1, 2011,
and each July 1st thereafter, must transfer into the streamlined sales
and use tax mitigation account from the general fund the sum required
to mitigate actual net losses as determined under this section.
(b) During the 2011-2013 and 2013-2015 fiscal ((biennium)) biennia,
the amount that would otherwise be transferred under (a) of this
subsection must be reduced by 3.4 percent.
(2) Beginning July 1, 2008, and continuing until the department
determines annual losses under subsection (3) of this section, the
department must determine the amount of local sales tax net loss each
local taxing jurisdiction experiences as a result of the sourcing
provisions of the streamlined sales and use tax agreement under this
title each calendar quarter. The department must determine losses by
analyzing and comparing data from tax return information and tax
collections for each local taxing jurisdiction before and after July 1,
2008, on a calendar quarter basis. The department's analysis may be
revised and supplemented in consultation with the oversight committee
as provided in subsection (4) of this section. To determine net
losses, the department must reduce losses by the amount of voluntary
compliance revenue for the calendar quarter analyzed. Beginning
December 31, 2008, distributions must be made quarterly from the
streamlined sales and use tax mitigation account by the state
treasurer, as directed by the department, to each local taxing
jurisdiction, other than public facilities districts for losses in
respect to taxes imposed under the authority of RCW 82.14.390, in an
amount representing its net losses for the previous calendar quarter.
Distributions must be made on the last working day of each calendar
quarter and must cease when distributions under subsection (3) of this
section begin.
(3)(a) By December 31, 2009, or such later date the department in
consultation with the oversight committee determines that sufficient
data is available, the department must determine each local taxing
jurisdiction's annual loss. The department must determine annual
losses by comparing at least twelve months of data from tax return
information and tax collections for each local taxing jurisdiction
before and after July 1, 2008. The department is not required to
determine annual losses on a recurring basis, but may make any
adjustments to annual losses as it deems proper as a result of the
annual reviews provided in (b) of this subsection. Beginning the
calendar quarter in which the department determines annual losses, and
each calendar quarter thereafter, distributions must be made from the
streamlined sales and use tax mitigation account by the state treasurer
on the last working day of the calendar quarter, as directed by the
department, to each local taxing jurisdiction, other than public
facilities districts for losses in respect to taxes imposed under the
authority of RCW 82.14.390, in an amount representing one-fourth of the
jurisdiction's annual loss reduced by voluntary compliance revenue
reported during the previous calendar quarter.
(b) The department's analysis of annual losses must be reviewed by
December 1st of each year and may be revised and supplemented in
consultation with the oversight committee as provided in subsection (4)
of this section.
(4) The department must convene an oversight committee to assist in
the determination of losses. The committee includes one representative
of one city whose revenues are increased, one representative of one
city whose revenues are reduced, one representative of one county whose
revenues are increased, one representative of one county whose revenues
are decreased, one representative of one transportation authority under
RCW 82.14.045 whose revenues are increased, and one representative of
one transportation authority under RCW 82.14.045 whose revenues are
reduced, as a result of RCW 82.14.490 and the chapter 6, Laws of 2007
amendments to RCW 82.14.020. Beginning July 1, 2008, the oversight
committee must meet quarterly with the department to review and provide
additional input and direction on the department's analyses of losses.
Local taxing jurisdictions may also present to the oversight committee
additional information to improve the department's analyses of the
jurisdiction's loss. Beginning January 1, 2010, the oversight
committee must meet at least annually with the department by December
1st.
(5) The rule-making provisions of chapter 34.05 RCW do not apply to
this section.
Sec. 964 RCW 86.26.007 and 2012 2nd sp.s. c 7 s 932 are each
amended to read as follows:
The flood control assistance account is hereby established in the
state treasury. At the beginning of the 2005-2007 fiscal biennium, the
state treasurer shall transfer three million dollars from the general
fund to the flood control assistance account. Each biennium thereafter
the state treasurer shall transfer four million dollars from the
general fund to the flood control assistance account, except that
during the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the state treasurer shall
transfer one million dollars from the general fund to the flood control
assistance account. Moneys in the flood control assistance account may
be spent only after appropriation for purposes specified under this
chapter. During the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, the legislature may
transfer from the flood control assistance account to the state general
fund such amounts as reflect the excess fund balance of the account.
Sec. 965 RCW 82.45.060 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 975 and 2011 1st
sp.s. c 48 s 7035 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
