POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Roach: "Senator Haugen, I'm usually very much in favor of having local voters' pamphlets. I think it is a way of informing voters, so they can make a better, more well-informed decision. The question I have is how will these voter pamphlets be paid for in those local jurisdictions that will now be mandated to include their information in a county-wide pamphlet?"
Senator Haugen: "They all will pay a pro-rated share. The testimony in the committee was that this is a very nominal fee. One of the problems they have had is, and we actually saw this last year, that there were some districts, who when there was opposition chose not to be in the voter's pamphlet. We just felt that this--because the public really wants to know who is running for office--and often on the local level, they know less about those people than they do those of us who run a more visible campaign. The testimony was this was a very negligible cost on special districts and cities and counties. We asked them if they had a concern to come back and we did not hear from them. They did not come back and say, 'We are opposed to this.'"
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the roll call on the final passage of Substitute Senate Bill No. 6063.

Debate ensued.
POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Bluechel: "Senator Vognild, you mentioned that the banks are immunized in case the check is insufficient funds or for whatever the reason--is stolen or that. Who pays in the case of default?"
Senator Vognild: "In the case of a default like that, I would say that if the state could not rectify the problem, they would pay."
Senator Bluechel: "The state would pick up any losses?"
Senator Vognild: "If they cannot otherwise rectify the problem."
Further debate ensued.
POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator West: "Senator Vognild, I'm looking at the bill as it appears in our book and on page one, the language appears there as you suggested that they shall not be held liable--no financial institution shall be held liable for loss if they cash a Washington State check or a federal check. Now, I would assume that language, and this is what I want you to clarify, I would assume that language means that if someone fraudulently presents a Washington State check and produces two pieces of identification, the bank cashes it, that by saying the bank is not liable, Washington State will honor that check. Who is going to honor the federal check? Are we saying that the federal government is going to honor a check? We can't force them to do that or are we saying that Washington State will now honor all those stolen federal checks that are presented for redemption?"
Senator Vognild: "The bill, the way it is drafted since we do not have authority over the federal situation, limits the state's liability to Washington State checks."
Senator West: "Thank you, Senator Vognild."
Further debate ensued.
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the roll call on the final passage of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 6171.
