WHEREAS, There exists a long history of warm relations between the people of Washington and the Philippines, of personal friendships, and family ties; and
WHEREAS, Washington is greatly honored that the Philippines chose to open a Consulate in our state; and
WHEREAS, The Pacific Northwest and the Philippines are neighbors in the Pacific Rim with a shared economic future; and
WHEREAS, The Philippine Consulate has played a critical role in trade between the Philippines and Washington State; and
WHEREAS, The Philippines conducted over two hundred twenty-five million dollars worth of waterborne trade with the Port of Seattle in 1991; and
WHEREAS, The Philippines are a major buyer of Washington wheat and other agricultural products; and
WHEREAS, Exports from the Philippines to Washington State reached almost five hundred million dollars in 1991, representing a nearly three hundred million dollar trade surplus in favor of the Philippines; and
WHEREAS, The estimated sixty-five thousand Washington State residents of Philippine descent are closely linked to the Consulate and raised over thirty-seven thousand dollars for the victims of the Mt. Pinatubo volcanic eruption; and
WHEREAS, The Filipino community in Washington State is growing at a rate in excess of one thousand persons per year; and
WHEREAS, We look forward to the months and years ahead as the people of the Philippines and Washington continue to build a firm foundation of business and personal ties to create a better future for our children;
NOW, THEREFORE, Your Memorialists respectfully pray that the United States Department of State seek through diplomatic efforts to encourage the Philippine government to allow its Seattle Consulate to remain open, and to consider downsizing staff and office space to cut costs instead of closing the Consulate.

The stipulation shall either contain one or more specific findings of unprofessional conduct or inability to practice, or a statement by the licensee acknowledging that evidence is sufficient to justify one or more specified findings of unprofessional conduct or inability to practice.

These documents shall be exempt from public disclosure until such time as the allegations are resolved either by stipulation or otherwise.
(2) The disciplinary authority and the applicant or licensee may stipulate that the allegations may be disposed of informally in accordance with this subsection. The stipulation shall contain a statement of the facts leading to the filing of the complaint; the act or acts of unprofessional conducted alleged to have been committed or the alleged basis for determining that the applicant or licensee is unable to practice with reasonable skill and safety; a statement that the stipulation is not to be construed as a finding of either unprofessional conduct or inability to practice; an acknowledgement that a finding of unprofessional conduct or inability to practice, if proven, constitutes grounds for discipline under this chapter; and an agreement on the part of the licensee or applicant that the sanctions set forth in RCW 18.130.160, except RCW 18.130.160 (1), (2), (6), and (8), may be imposed as part of the stipulation, except that no fine may be imposed but the licensee or applicant may agree to reimburse the disciplinary authority the costs of investigation and processing the complaint up to an amount not exceeding one thousand dollars per allegation; and an agreement on the part of the disciplinary authority to forego further disciplinary proceedings concerning the allegations. A stipulation entered into pursuant to this subsection shall not be considered formal disciplinary action.

(4) Upon execution of a stipulation under subsection (2) of this section by both the licensee or applicant and the disciplinary authority, the complaint is deemed disposed of and shall become subject to public disclosure on the same basis and to the same extent as other records of the disciplinary authority. Should the licensee or applicant fail to pay any agreed reimbursement within thirty days of the date specified in the stipulation for payment, the disciplinary authority may seek collection of the amount agreed to be paid in the same manner as enforcement of a fine under RCW 18.130.165."

(1) The commission of any act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, or corruption relating to the practice of the person's profession, whether the act constitutes a crime or not. If the act constitutes a crime, conviction in a criminal proceeding is not a condition precedent to disciplinary action. Upon such a conviction, however, the judgment and sentence is conclusive evidence at the ensuing disciplinary hearing of the guilt of the license holder or applicant of the crime described in the indictment or information, and of the person's violation of the statute on which it is based. For the purposes of this section, conviction includes all instances in which a plea of guilty or nolo contendere is the basis for the conviction and all proceedings in which the sentence has been deferred or suspended. Nothing in this section abrogates rights guaranteed under chapter 9.96A RCW;
(2) Misrepresentation or concealment of a material fact in obtaining a license or in reinstatement thereof;
(3) All advertising which is false, fraudulent, or misleading;
(4) Incompetence, negligence, or malpractice which results in injury to a patient or which creates an unreasonable risk that a patient may be harmed. The use of a nontraditional treatment by itself shall not constitute unprofessional conduct, provided that it does not result in injury to a patient or create an unreasonable risk that a patient may be harmed;
(5) Suspension, revocation, or restriction of the individual's license to practice the profession by competent authority in any state, federal, or foreign jurisdiction, a certified copy of the order, stipulation, or agreement being conclusive evidence of the revocation, suspension, or restriction;
(6) The possession, use, prescription for use, or distribution of controlled substances or legend drugs in any way other than for legitimate or therapeutic purposes, diversion of controlled substances or legend drugs, the violation of any drug law, or prescribing controlled substances for oneself;
(7) Violation of any state or federal statute or administrative rule regulating the profession in question, including any statute or rule defining or establishing standards of patient care or professional conduct or practice;
(8) Failure to cooperate with the disciplining authority by:
(a) Not furnishing any papers or documents;
(b) Not furnishing in writing a full and complete explanation covering the matter contained in the complaint filed with the disciplining authority; or
(c) Not responding to subpoenas issued by the disciplining authority, whether or not the recipient of the subpoena is the accused in the proceeding;
(9) Failure to comply with an order issued by the ((disciplining)) disciplinary authority or ((an assurance of discontinuance)) a stipulation for informal disposition entered into with the ((disciplining)) disciplinary authority;
(10) Aiding or abetting an unlicensed person to practice when a license is required;
(11) Violations of rules established by any health agency;
(12) Practice beyond the scope of practice as defined by law or rule;
(13) Misrepresentation or fraud in any aspect of the conduct of the business or profession;
(14) Failure to adequately supervise auxiliary staff to the extent that the consumer's health or safety is at risk;
(15) Engaging in a profession involving contact with the public while suffering from a contagious or infectious disease involving serious risk to public health;
(16) Promotion for personal gain of any unnecessary or inefficacious drug, device, treatment, procedure, or service;

For the purposes of this subsection, conviction includes all instances in which a plea of guilty or nolo contendere is the basis for conviction and all proceedings in which the sentence has been deferred or suspended. Nothing in this section abrogates rights guaranteed under chapter 9.96A RCW;
(18) The procuring, or aiding or abetting in procuring, a criminal abortion;
(19) The offering, undertaking, or agreeing to cure or treat disease by a secret method, procedure, treatment, or medicine, or the treating, operating, or prescribing for any health condition by a method, means, or procedure which the licensee refuses to divulge upon demand of the disciplining authority;
(20) The willful betrayal of a practitioner-patient privilege as recognized by law;
(21) Violation of chapter 19.68 RCW;
(22) Interference with an investigation or disciplinary proceeding by willful misrepresentation of facts before the disciplining authority or its authorized representative, or by the use of threats or harassment against any patient or witness to prevent them from providing evidence in a disciplinary proceeding or any other legal action;
(23) Current misuse of:
(a) Alcohol;
(b) Controlled substances; or
(c) Legend drugs;
(24) Abuse of a client or patient or sexual contact with a client or patient;
(25) Acceptance of more than a nominal gratuity, hospitality, or subsidy offered by a representative or vendor of medical or health-related products or services intended for patients, in contemplation of a sale or for use in research publishable in professional journals, where a conflict of interest is presented, as defined by rules of the disciplining authority, in consultation with the department, based on recognized professional ethical standards."

Concerning the preservation of salmon.

On page 2, after line 8, strike all material through line 24 and insert the following:
"WHEREAS, There is continued uncertainty regarding the extent of biological benefits to salmon of some proposed solutions, including increased stream velocity; and
WHEREAS, Drawdowns below minimum operating pool on the Snake River, demonstrated by the test drawdowns conducted in March 1992 for the limited purpose of evaluating impacts to physical structures and facilities, provided limited migration benefits for the salmon, caused the loss of as many as thirty thousand resident fish, disrupted navigation, and caused substantial physical property damage to public and private facilities; and
WHEREAS, Maintaining reservoir levels at minimum operating pool and, in the absence of modifications to existing irrigation pump stations, at minimum irrigation pool on the John Day reservoir, enables the river system to support critical economic activity;
NOW, THEREFORE, Your Memorialists respectfully pray that any future drawdowns on the Columbia-Snake River system be limited to minimum operating pool on the Snake River projects or minimum operating pool coupled with irrigation pump modification on the John Day reservoir unless, based on and supported by the best available scientific knowledge, further drawdowns are determined to be a biologically prudent alternative and, where equally effective alternative means of achieving the same sound biological objective exist, are the alternative with the minimum economic cost; and"

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. INTENT. It is the intent of the legislature to combat discrimination in the economy.
(1) The legislature finds that discrimination is in part responsible for:
(a) The disproportionately small percentage of the state's businesses that are owned by minorities and women;
(b) The limited and unequal opportunity minority and women entrepreneurs and business owners have to procure small business financing; and
(c) The difficulty many minority and women-owned contracting businesses have in securing bonds and contract work.
(2) The legislature further finds that:
(a) Many minority and women entrepreneurs and business owners lack training in how to establish and operate a business. This lack of training inhibits their competitiveness when they apply for business loans, bonds, and contracts;
(b) Minorities and women are an increasingly expanding portion of the population and work force. In order for these individuals to fully contribute to the society and economy it is necessary to ensure that minority and women entrepreneurs and business owners are provided an equal opportunity to procure small business financing, bonds, and contracts; and
(c) The growth of small businesses will have a favorable impact on the Washington economy by creating jobs, increasing competition in the marketplace, and expanding tax revenues. Access to financial markets, bonds, and contracts by entrepreneurs and small business owners is vital to this process. Without reasonable access to financing, bonds, and contracts, talented and aggressive entrepreneurs and small business owners are cut out of the economic system and the state's economy suffers.
(3) Therefore, the legislature declares there to be a substantial public purpose in providing technical assistance in the areas of marketing, finance, and management, and access to capital resources, bonds, and contracts, to help start or expand a minority or women-owned business, and specifically to encourage and make possible greater participation by minorities and women in international trade, public works and construction, and public facility concessions. To accomplish these purposes, it is the intent of the legislature to:
(a) Develop or contract for training courses in financing, marketing, managing, accounting, and recordkeeping for a small business and to make these programs available to minority and women entrepreneurs and small business owners;
(b) Make public works and construction projects, public facility concessions, and purchase of goods and services accessible to a greater number of minority and women-owned businesses;
(c) Provide for the lending of nonstate funds to qualified minority and women entrepreneurs and business owners in order to provide the maximum practicable opportunity for innovative minority and women entrepreneurs and business owners to compete for small business financing; and
(d) Provide professional services assistance grants and bond guarantees on behalf of qualified contractors in order to provide the maximum practicable opportunity for minority and women-owned contracting businesses to participate in the Washington state economy by bidding and completing various public and private contracting jobs.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. DEFINITIONS. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter.
(1) "Minority" means persons of color, including African-Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, Native Americans, and Asian/Pacific Islanders Americans;
(2) "Minority and women-owned business" means any resident minority business enterprise or women's business enterprise, certified as such by the office of minority and women's business enterprises under chapter 39.19 RCW and consistent with subsection (1) of this section.

(1) The committee may only approve an application providing a loan for a project which the committee finds:

(b) Has been approved by the director as conforming to federal rules and regulations governing the spending of federal community development block grant funds;
(c) Will be of public benefit and for a public purpose, and that the benefits, including increased or maintained employment, improved standard of living, ((and)) the employment of disadvantaged workers, and development or expansion of business ownership by minorities and women, will primarily accrue to residents of the area;
(d) Will probably be successful;
(e) Would probably not be completed without the loan because other capital or financing at feasible terms is unavailable or the return on investment is inadequate.
(2) The committee shall, subject to federal block grant criteria, give higher priority to economic development projects that contain provisions for child care.

(8) To the extent permitted under federal law the committee shall require applicants to provide for the transfer of all payments of principal and interest on loans to the Washington state development loan fund created under this chapter.

A grant may be denied by the committee if a project is not likely to result in a net increase in employment within a local market area.
(12) For loans to minority and women-owned businesses who do not meet the credit criteria, the committee may consider non-traditional credit standards to offset past discrimination that has precluded full participation of minority or women-owned businesses in the economy. For applicants with high potential who do not meet the credit criteria, the committee shall consider developing alternative borrowing methods. For applicants denied loans due to credit problems, the committee shall provide financial counseling within available resources and provide referrals to credit rehabilitation services. In circumstances of competing applications, priority shall be given to members of eligible groups which previously have been least served by this fund.
