The legislature finds that it has previously declared in RCW 28B.107.005 that it is important to the economic future of the state to promote international awareness and understanding, and in RCW 1.20.100 ((and 28A.630.300)), that the state's economy and economic well-being depends heavily on foreign trade and international exchange.
The legislature finds that it is appropriate that such policies should be implemented by encouraging universities and colleges domiciled in foreign countries to establish branch campuses in Washington and that it is also important to those foreign colleges and universities that their status as authorized foreign degree-granting institutions be recognized by this state to facilitate the establishment and operation of such branch campuses.
In the furtherance of such policy, the legislature adopts the foreign degree-granting institution approved branch campus act.

MOTION OF RECONSIDERATION

Mr. Speaker: Mr. Padden, according to my advisor a motion for reconsideration is open for debate.
Representative Padden: He's a very learned advisor, Mr. Speaker.
Representative Patterson demanded an electronic roll call vote on the motion to reconsider amendment number 521 to Substitute House Bill No. 1410 and the demand was sustained.
Representative Appelwick: Is it not the practice of the House that if a member votes erroneously or is unable to vote to allow them to spread upon the Journal their intentions as to how they intended to vote and make the correction known. And certainly if one person has made such a mistake I would expect the tolerance of the body to extend that continued consideration to correct the Journal on such a sensitive issue. But I do not believe we need to resort to a motion to reconsider a re-ballot on such a tender issue.
Mr. Speaker: Representative Appelwick, it certainly has been the practice of the House to allow that consideration. However, it has also been part of procedure for people to vote on a prevailing side in order to make a motion for reconsideration. I think in this case the motion has been made before us. And it's a proper motion, the maker of the motion had in fact voted on the prevailing side that the House will give him that vote on his motion.
Representative Appelwick: If I might inquire further. Should the motion for reconsideration fails and the measure be behind us would the member still have the opportunity to correct his intended vote on the record?
Mr. Speaker: When a member feels they have voted wrong they have the opportunity to enter a note into the Journal, it actually does not change their vote, it simply is a notation for future reference that they have intended a note into a Journal stating that they had voted opposite of what they wanted to vote. So it would really not change their vote as far as the recorded vote is concerned.
Representative Appelwick: But would that opportunity remain open to that person should the motion for reconsideration fail?
Mr. Speaker: That is correct, a person could put a note in the Journal stating whatever they wanted to about their vote.
Representative Pennington demand the previous question and the demand was sustained.

(1) The director shall supervise the providing of prompt and efficient care and treatment, including care provided by physician assistants governed by the provisions of chapters 18.57A and 18.71A RCW, acting under a supervising physician, and including chiropractic care, to workers injured during the course of their employment at the least cost consistent with promptness and efficiency, without discrimination or favoritism, and with as great uniformity as the various and diverse surrounding circumstances and locations of industries will permit and to that end shall, from time to time, establish and adopt and supervise the administration of printed forms, rules, regulations, and practices for the furnishing of such care and treatment: PROVIDED, That, the department may recommend to an injured worker particular health care services and providers where specialized treatment is indicated or where cost effective payment levels or rates are obtained by the department: AND PROVIDED FURTHER, That the department may enter into contracts for goods and services including, but not limited to, durable medical equipment so long as state-wide access to quality service is maintained for injured workers.
(2)(a) Subject to (b) of this subsection, the director shall, in consultation with interested persons, establish and, in his or her discretion, periodically change as may be necessary, and make available a fee schedule of the maximum charges to be made by any physician, surgeon, chiropractor, hospital, druggist, physicians' assistants as defined in chapters 18.57A and 18.71A RCW, acting under a supervising physician or other agency or person rendering services to injured workers. The department shall coordinate with other state purchasers of health care services to establish as much consistency and uniformity in billing and coding practices as possible, taking into account the unique requirements and differences between programs. No service covered under this title shall be charged or paid at a rate or rates exceeding those specified in such fee schedule, and no contract providing for greater fees shall be valid as to the excess. The establishment of such a schedule, exclusive of conversion factors, does not constitute "agency action" as used in RCW 34.05.010(3), nor does such a fee schedule constitute a "rule" as used in RCW 34.05.010(15).
(b) The pharmacy services fee schedule established under this section and in effect on January 1, 1995, may not be reduced during the fiscal biennium ending June 30, 1997, until the department implements an integrated statewide on-line adjudication system for pharmacy providers.
(3) The director or self-insurer, as the case may be, shall make a record of the commencement of every disability and the termination thereof and, when bills are rendered for the care and treatment of injured workers, shall approve and pay those which conform to the adopted rules, regulations, established fee schedules, and practices of the director and may reject any bill or item thereof incurred in violation of the principles laid down in this section or the rules, regulations, or the established fee schedules and rules and regulations adopted under it."

(b) If the daily gross receipts of all parimutuel machines are two hundred fifty thousand dollars or less, the licensee shall withhold and pay to the commission daily one percent of the daily gross receipts unless exempt by subsection (7) of this section.
(3) In addition to those amounts in subsections (1) and (2) of this section, all licensees shall forward one-tenth of one percent of the daily gross receipts of all parimutuel machines to the commission daily for payment to those nonprofit race meets as set forth in RCW 67.16.130 and subsection (1) of this section, but said percentage shall not be charged against the licensees. The total of such payments shall not exceed one hundred fifty thousand dollars in any one year and any amount in excess of one hundred fifty thousand dollars shall be remitted to the general fund. Payments to nonprofit race meets under this subsection shall be distributed on a pro rata per-race-day basis and used only for purses at race tracks that have been operating under RCW 67.16.130 and subsection (1) of this section for the five consecutive years immediately preceding the year of payment.

(6) Effective June 1, 1995, licensees who are nonprofit corporations and have race meets of thirty days or more shall withhold and pay to the commission daily for each authorized day of racing an amount equal to two and one-half percent of the daily gross receipts of all parimutuel machines at each race meet. These percentages shall come from the amount that the licensee is authorized to retain under RCW 67.16.170(2) and shall be in addition to those sums paid to the commission in subsection (2) of this section. The commission shall deposit these moneys in the Washington thoroughbred racing fund created in RCW 67.16.250.

On page 112, after line 9, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 920. Washington state government has the vision to be the most effective and best performing service organization in the state. The state of Washington also expects to be the most effective and best performing state government in the United States, measured in terms of quality of customer service, accountability for cost-effective services, and productivity. With the passage of Initiative 601 there are additional constraints on the growth of state government. The system that allows the spending of public money should reward frugality and innovation, not encourage wasteful spending. It is the intent of the legislature to provide incentives to agencies to spend public funds in the most efficient and effective manner possible. Agencies are encouraged to identify savings and entrepreneurial opportunities, then use a portion of the resulting savings and earnings to improve the quality of service to the customers of state government.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 921. (1) The efficiency fund is created in the custody of the state treasurer for the 1995-97 biennium. An account within the fund shall be established for each state agency.
(2) The source of revenue for the fund is as follows: At the close of each fiscal year in the 1995-97 biennium, the state treasurer is to transfer into each agency's account in the efficiency fund sixty-six percent of each agency's administrative savings.
(a) The administrative savings shall be approved by the director of the office of financial management; and
(b) The funds may be transferred to the efficiency fund when there are no restrictions on the funds that would prohibit (i) their transfer or (ii) their use for the purposes allowed in subsection (3) of this section.
(3)(a) For the purposes of this section, "administrative savings" means unspent appropriations resulting from cost effectiveness measures or productivity gains such as:
(i) Improved systems and procedures;
(ii) Better deployment and utilization of personnel;
(iii) Elimination of unnecessary expenditures;
(iv) Reductions in the cost of goods and services; or
(v) Elimination of waste, duplication, and operations of doubtful value.
(b) Administrative savings may not result from:
(i) Lower workloads, caseloads, or enrollments than were budgeted;
(ii) A lowering of the quality of services rendered; or
(iii) Shifting of expenses to another unit of government, revenue source, or fiscal period.
Administrative savings cannot exceed the amount of reversions due to efficiency measures.
(4) The amount in a particular agency's account may be authorized for expenditure only by that agency.
(5) Funds may be expended from the efficiency fund to improve the quality of services to the customers of the state. This includes one-time expenditures for employee training, technology improvements, new work processes, program innovations, equipment upgrades, office remodels, performance measurement and benchmarking, or employee bonuses. The expenditure shall not be used to expand a current program or create new programs that would have ongoing costs that would require future appropriations from the legislature.
(6) The fund is not subject to allotment under this chapter and no appropriation is required for expenditures from the efficiency fund.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 922. (1) The enterprise fund is created for the 1995-97 biennium in the custody of the state treasurer. An account within the fund shall be established for each state agency. Revenue for the fund shall come from money each agency earns for services provided. This includes user fees, proceeds from the sale of publications, products, or services, royalties, concessions, rent, and other various services provided. Money not directed by law to another account shall be deposited into the enterprise fund.
(2) Funds may be validly expended from the enterprise fund during the 1995-97 biennium for those purposes that are consistent with the agency's priorities established in the budget process, and within either the agency's charter, or statutory intent, or both.
(3) The amount of money in a particular agency's account may be authorized for expenditure only by that agency.
(4) The fund is not subject to allotment under this chapter, and no appropriation is required for expenditures.
Renumber remaining sections consecutively and correct internal references and title accordingly.

Representative Ebersole: Thank you Mr. Speaker. It is 3:10 A.M., having stood where you stand, I know that there is no logistical way that a small minority can stop the roll of this budget if we would move to not get the bump, you could go to Rules Committee and call a new day to a Parliamentary maneuver, but I want to register my protest for having heard repeatedly about not doing major bills in the middle of the night, and we're at 3:10 A.M. and everyone here is so rummy we can't even think straight to make a coherent speech and we're going to be debating the most important bill of the session, and I'm not sure if it's the dead of the night or early of the morning. I'm not sure if it's daylight out there or not, but I would ask that you consider bringing this back at 8:30 A.M. Monday morning. We'd have an hour of civilized debate on final passage of this measure, if you choose to proceed I know that there is no way we can stop you and we will go ahead with the bump instead of having the extraordinary procedure of the Rules Committee to bring it back out. We don't want to detain this measure but I do think after all the talk about process you might have gotten even here but you haven't gotten any better about the process. And I will leave it to your judgment, we can't resist the bump, but we will register our protest.
There being no objection, the rules were suspended, the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.
