On page 2, after line 32 of the striking amendment, insert the following:

"Sec. 2. RCW 43.330.086 and 2008 c 131 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:

To the extent that funds are specifically appropriated therefor, contracts with associate development organizations for the provision of services under RCW 43.330.080(1)(b)(i) shall be awarded according to the following annual schedule:

(1) For associate development ((associations)) organizations serving urban counties, which are counties other than rural counties as defined in RCW 82.14.370, a locally matched allocation of up to ((ninety)) 90 cents per capita, totaling no more than ((three hundred thousand dollars)) $300,000 per organization; and

(2) For associate development ((associations)) organizations in rural counties, as defined in RCW 82.14.370, a per county base allocation of ((up to forty thousand dollars )) $40,000 and a locally matched allocation of up to ((ninety)) 90 cents per capita.

(3) The locally matched allocation shall not include general fund state, but may include a combination of nonstate funds, cash, or in-kind contributions."

EFFECT:

Allows urban and rural counties to provide their locally matched allocation for designated associate development organizations by any combination of funds that do not include General Fund State.
