2019 Regular Session
ByRepresentatives Walsh, Stokesbary, Shea, McCaslin, and Barkis
Prefiled 12/05/18.Read first time 01/14/19.Referred to Committee on Appropriations.
AN ACT Relating to funding the governor's security and protection while traveling outside Washington state for campaign-related or nonstate business purposes; amending 2018 c 299 ss 116 and 402 (uncodified); adding a new section to chapter 43.06 RCW; creating new sections; and making appropriations.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1. (1) The legislature finds that an increase in the governor's out-of-state travel for campaign-related or other nonstate business purposes is causing a budget shortfall in the funding for the executive protection unit in the Washington state patrol. The legislature supports the Washington state patrol providing protection and security for the governor and the governor's family as provided in RCW 43.43.035; however, the legislature finds that the cost of protection and security for this extra travel not related to state business and at the governor's discretion should not be borne by the taxpayers of Washington state.
(2)(a) The legislature intends to resolve this current budget shortfall by reducing existing appropriations to the governor's office by the amount of the estimated shortfall for fiscal year 2019 and increasing the current fiscal year 2019 appropriation to the Washington state patrol by that amount.
(b) The legislature intends to address this in the future by creating the account in section 2 of this act to which private contributions can be made to offset the extra protection and security costs as a result of the travel described in this section. To the extent private contributions do not cover the extra costs, the legislature intends to reduce appropriations to the governor's office and increase appropriations to the Washington state patrol by the amount of the uncovered extra costs.
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 43.06 RCW to read as follows:
The governor's nonstate business travel reimbursement account is created in the custody of the state treasurer. Any gifts, grants, or donations received by the governor's office to reimburse the state for protection and security costs associated with the governor's out-of-state travel for campaign-related or other nonstate business purposes shall be deposited in the account. Expenditures from the account may only be used to reimburse the Washington state patrol for protection and security costs associated with the governor's out-of-state travel for campaign-related or other nonstate business purposes. Only the governor or governor's designee may authorize expenditures from the account. The account is not subject to allotment procedures and an appropriation is not required for expenditures.
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3. By December 1, 2019, and December 1, 2020, the governor and the Washington state patrol shall report to the ways and means committee in the senate and the appropriations committee in the house of representatives on the governor's out-of-state travel and associated protection and security costs. The report must specifically identify all travel considered to be out-of-state travel for campaign-related or other nonstate business purposes and must specifically identify the protection and security costs associated with those trips. The report must also summarize the deposits and expenditures related to the account created in section 2 of this act for the period of the report.
