On page 3, after line 5, insert the following:
"(2) At least seven months prior to the expiration of a community municipal corporation, the community municipal corporation council must publish its decision to either:
(a) Initiate a resolution to be annexed all or in part to another city or town, pursuant to chapter 35.10 RCW; or (b) Propose the incorporation of a city or town covering the service area of the existing community municipal corporation, pursuant to chapter 35.02 RCW. A community municipal corporation that publishes its decision to incorporate as a city or town pursuant to chapter 35.02 RCW is exempt from the provisions of RCW 35.02.010 and may be reincorporated with a simple majority of voters residing within its service area. (3) If the community municipal corporation does not publish its decision to incorporate or annex to another city or town at least seven months prior to its expiration, the community municipal corporation must consolidate with the city or town in which its service area resides upon the expiration of its term."
