HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 4429, by Representatives King, Anderson, Fuhrman, Orr, Jacobsen, Rayburn, Lisk, Veloria, Schmidt, Heavey, Ballard, Wineberry, Sheldon, Leonard, Pruitt, Jones and J. Kohl

House Concurrent Resolution No. 4429 was adopted.
With consent of the House, the House resumed consideration of House Bill No. 2485.
Representative Jones has raised a point of order to the scope and object of amendment number 969 by Representative Mielke.
In ruling on the point of order, the Speaker finds that House Bill No. 2485 is a measure which caps the amount that workers in the construction industry may be charged for the employee's share of the industrial insurance medical aid premium. Amendment No. 969 limits the provisions of the bill by specifying that only those workers who agree in writing not to bring third party negligence actions under Title 51 RCW are eligible for the cap.
Therefore, the Speaker finds that the amendment does not change the scope and object of the underlying bill and that the point of order is not well taken.
On motion of Representative Peery, House Bill No. 2485 was deferred.
The Speaker declared the House to be at ease.
The Speaker (Representative R. Meyers presiding) called the House to order.

Representative Brumsickle: Thank you Mr. Speaker. Thank you for the question, the answer is yes.

The resolution may declare a shortage at all substitute areas or in a specific grade level or subject area. The answer is yes.

PAULL SHIN, 21st District
Representative Heavey moved adoption of the following amendment by Representative Heavey:
On page 10, after line 11, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 18. A new section is added to chapter 26.26. RCW to read as follows:
(1) A person is guilty of the crime of failure to pay child support if:
(a) The court determines in two or more separate paternity actions filed under this chapter that the person is the father of two or more children born of different mothers who were under the age of twenty years old at the time of birth;
(b) The father is at least three years older than both of the mothers;
(c) A court order or administrative order for support has been entered in each case which obligates the father to pay child support; and
(d) The father is two or more months behind in current child support payments in both cases as provided in the court or administrative order.
(2) It is an affirmative defense to the crime of failure to pay child support if the person proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the failure to pay child support was not wilful and due to circumstances beyond the person's control."
Representative Leonard: Mr. Speaker, I would like a ruling on the scope and object of the amendment by Representative Heavey to Second Substitute House Bill No. 2798.
Representative Leonard has raised a point of order to the scope and object of amendment number 996 by Representative Heavey.
In ruling on the point of order, the Speaker finds that Second Substitute House Bill No. 2798 is a measure which makes changes to public assistance and amends Title 74 RCW. Amendment No. 996 amends the Uniform Parentage Act found in Chapter 26.26 RCW.
The Speaker therefore finds that the proposed amendment does change the scope and object of the bill and that the point of order is well taken.
The bill was ordered engrossed. On motion of Representative Peery, the rules were suspended, the second reading considered the third, and the bill was placed on final passage.
The Speaker stated the question before the House to be final passage of Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 2798.
Representatives Sommers, Leonard, Cooke, Wolfe, Wineberry, Brown, Thibaudeau, Kessler, Mielke and J. Kohl spoke in favor of passage of the bill.
MOTION
Representative Ballard moved that the comments made by Representative Sommers be spread upon the Journal. The motion was carried.
Representative Sommers: It is clearly time for welfare reform in this state. It is clearly time for welfare reform in this country. I believe that we are a good position, a strong position to show leadership in welfare reform. We have a great deal of research about our welfare population. This proposal is built on that research, not on anecdotes. We know that some 52 percent of welfare recipients in this state were teen mothers. We also know that about 35 percent of the individuals came from a welfare family, so that we have here as elsewhere inter- generational welfare. These are facts that we must face, and we have tried to fashion a proposal, a rational analyzed research proposal that would face up to those facts. I will mention just a few of the major components of the bill. First, it calls for a new culture in the welfare offices and by that we mean the attitude, the expectations that public assistance is a transition to employment. It is not to be a way of life, it not to be long- term. It is to be a safe net for temporary periods. We want welfare social workers, intake workers, counselors and so on to be trained to accept that job. We're hoping, we're expecting we will be funding the provision in the offices of educational material, both for the adults and for the small children, to try to teach to use the time that they spend waiting in those offices for teaching, for informing. So we're hoping for a new culture. There are two populations that are particularly critical, that are critical to any reform and any real change. The one is the parent, and the second is the person who is the long-term recipient, whether teen parent or non teen parent. I'll just mention how we try to deal with those two populations in this bill. For the individuals who are on for long periods of time, and in this bill that would be after three years in the last five-year period, it would require them to enter into an employability contract in which they would hopefully come prepared for work. Perhaps take part-time work, take classes for readiness to work, perhaps finish high school, perhaps take vocational training. After the end of that period, after they had been on welfare for at least four years, there is then a real work incentive. They would have their benefits reduced by ten percent, in the next year if they were not working. It's very different from the two years and out, what we're saying there would be a four-year transition period or they would be on for at least four years and then they would be expected to work or they would begin to lose part of their benefits. They could however, go to work part-time and make up that difference through wages without undergoing the usual dollar-for-dollar reduction in the benefits. It's a very clear message, it gives a lot of time for people to adjust but hopefully the signal, the expectation will be clear. Briefly to the challenge of teen parents, this bill would require that teen parents live in the parental household or with a relative or guardian or in a protective payee status. The concept here is we do not want to encourage 17 years old and younger to leave the household. The policy here, the belief here is that 15, 16 is very young, and they are not yet ready to be nurturing parents in most cases. And they would be required to live in a supervised setting with some adult supervision. We also include a portion which really intends to reach out to high school students and middle school students, and that is the idea of grants, to school districts, to schools for abstinence programs which would be designed by the students themselves. I've seen this happen in a very informal basis in the middle school in my own district where the kids said what they thought should be the message and why women should wait for sexual activity and why they shouldn't get pregnant and why they should wait until they are ready to really take care of children. We need teens talking to teens and that's the idea behind this proposal. I want to say thank you to the many people who worked on this. I think it is a strong bill, we had good cooperation, bi-partisan and both the Human Services Committee and Appropriations Committee working on the bill. The last thing I want to say, is that I see this as a new contract, I see it as a contract and a policy about making women independent. I believe that welfare is a state of dependence and it traps women in a state of dependence. Dependence on government, which is not really the goal that I would hope for young and not so young women. I believe that women might be able see themselves as self determinant, that they can determine their own situation, their own future. We hear all too often that these young women do not see themselves as agents of change, but the passive recipient of the action of another. This is a culture that must be changed. And I hope we take that step with this proposal.
