Representative Romero moved the adoption of the following amendment by Representative Romero:

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that since its creation in 1985, the Puget Sound water quality authority has been largely successful in adopting a comprehensive management plan for the restoration and long-term protection of Puget Sound, which is the principal guiding document for the coordination and strengthening of programs by local governments, the private sector, and federal and state agencies. The authority has continually revised the plan to reflect new information regarding the water quality and other environmental conditions of Puget Sound, and to respond to changing state and federal funding and programmatic requirements. The legislature finds that increased emphasis should now be placed upon implementing the plan, upon assisting those primarily responsible for implementing the plan, upon the long-term monitoring of Puget Sound's environmental conditions, and upon measuring progress in the overall implementation of the management plan.

Sec. 2. RCW 90.70.001 and 1985 c 451 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

The legislature finds that Puget Sound and related inland marine waterways of Washington state represent a unique and unparalleled resource. A rich and varied range of marine organisms, composing an interdependent, sensitive communal ecosystem reside in these sheltered waters. Residents of this region enjoy a way of life centered around the waters of Puget Sound, featuring accessible recreational opportunities, world-class port facilities and water transportation systems, harvest of marine food resources, shoreline-oriented life styles, water-dependent industries, tourism, irreplaceable aesthetics and other activities, all of which to some degree depend upon a clean and healthy marine resource.

((The legislature further finds that the consequences of careless husbanding of this resource have been dramatically illustrated in inland waterways associated with older and more extensively developed areas of the nation. Recent reports concerning degradation of water quality within this region's urban embayments raise alarming possibilities of similar despoliation of Puget Sound and other state waterways. These examples emphasize that the costs of restoration of aquatic resources, where such restoration is possible, greatly exceed the costs of responsible preservation.))

The legislature declares that utilization of the Puget Sound resource carries a custodial obligation for preserving it. The people of the state have the unique opportunity to preserve this gift of nature, an understanding of the results of inattentive stewardship, the technical knowledge needed for control of degradation of Puget Sound, and the obligation to undertake such control.

The legislature further finds that the large number of governmental entities that now affect the ((water quality)) health of Puget Sound have diverse interests and limited jurisdictions which cannot adequately address the cumulative, wide-ranging impacts which contribute to the degradation of Puget Sound. In accordance with the purpose of chapter 403, Laws of 1995, the regulatory reform act of 1995, governments at all levels should better coordinate their efforts to avoid confusing and frustrating the public with overlapping or contradictory requirements. Greater water quality protection in Puget Sound can be achieved by establishing a cooperative partnership between public and private entities and state agencies that emphasizes technical assistance, education, incentives, and dispute resolution. It is therefore the policy of the state of Washington to create a single entity with adequate resources to develop and maintain a comprehensive plan for water quality protection in Puget Sound ((to be implemented by existing state and local government agencies)) and to assist state and local governments, citizens, and the private sector in implementing that plan.

Sec. 3. RCW 90.70.011 and 1990 c 115 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

POINT OF INQUIRY

Representative Horn yielded to a question by Representative Kessler.

Within twenty days after service of the petition for review, the agency shall file and serve an answer to the petition, made in the same manner as an answer to a complaint in a civil action. The court may hear evidence, pursuant to RCW 34.05.562, on material issues of fact raised by the petition and answer.

(c) Relief for persons aggrieved by the performance of an agency action, including the exercise of discretion, or an action under (b) of this subsection can be granted only if the court determines that the action is:

(i) Unconstitutional;

(ii) Outside the statutory authority of the agency or the authority conferred by a provision of law;

(iii) Arbitrary or capricious; or

(iv) Taken by persons who were not properly constituted as agency officials lawfully entitled to take such action.

Sec. 28. RCW 34.05.375 and 1988 c 288 s 314 are each amended to read as follows:

No rule proposed after July 1, 1989, is valid unless it is adopted in substantial compliance with RCW 34.05.310 through 34.05.395. Inadvertent failure to mail notice of a proposed rule adoption to any person as required by RCW 34.05.320(3) does not invalidate a rule. No action based upon this section may be maintained to contest the validity of any rule unless it is commenced within ((two)) seven years after the effective date of the rule.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 29. A new section is added to chapter 34.05 RCW to read as follows:

(1) A person may petition an agency requesting that an existing rule be subject to readoption. The office of financial management shall prescribe by rule the format for such petitions and the procedure for their submission, consideration, and disposition and provide a standard form that may be used to petition any agency. Within sixty days after submission of a petition, the agency shall either (a) deny the petition in writing, stating (i) its reasons for the denial, specifically addressing each item listed in subsection (3) of this section and, where appropriate, (ii) the alterative means by which it will address the concerns raised by the petitioner, or (b) initiate the readoption procedure in accordance with this section.

(2) If an agency denies a petition submitted under subsection (1) of this section, the petitioner, within thirty days of the denial, may appeal the denial to the joint administrative rules review committee. Within sixty days after receiving the appeal, the committee shall, by a majority vote of its members, either (a) deny the appeal in writing, stating its reasons for the denial, or (b) direct the agency to initiate the readoption procedure in accordance with this section. The agency shall initiate the readoption procedure by the date specified by the committee.

(3) An agency's written denial under subsection (1) of this section must address each of the following:

(a) Whether the rule is authorized;

(b) Whether the rule is needed;

(d) Whether alternatives to the rule exist that will serve the same purpose at less cost;

(e) Whether the rule applies differently to public and private entities;

(f) Whether the rule serves the purposes for which it was adopted;

(g) Whether the benefits of the rule are greater than its costs;

(h) Whether the rule is clearly and simply stated; and

(i) Whether there is adequate justification if the rule is different than a federal law applicable to the same activity or subject matter.

Persons are encouraged to address each of these issues in their petition to the agency.

(4) For purposes of this section, "readoption" means that the text of the existing rule is submitted under RCW 34.05.320 as a proposed rule and is then subject to the rule-making process set forth in this chapter. However, an agency need not submit a statement of inquiry under RCW 34.05.310 for an existing rule subject to readoption. Unless readopted, an existing rule subject to readoption is automatically repealed one hundred eighty days after publication of the text as a proposed rule in the Washington State Register.

(5) A decision by an agency under subsection (1) of this section to deny a petition for readoption is not subject to judicial review.

(6) The office of financial management shall initiate the rule making required by subsection (1) of this section by July 1, 1996.

(1) Except as otherwise specifically provided by statute, a court shall award a qualified party that prevails in a judicial review of an agency action fees and other expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, unless the court finds that the agency action was substantially justified or that circumstances make an award unjust. A qualified party shall be considered to have prevailed if the qualified party obtained relief on a significant issue that achieves some benefit that the qualified party sought.

(2) The amount awarded a qualified party under subsection (1) of this section shall not exceed:

(a) For cases involving rule validity:

(i) Twenty-five thousand dollars for superior court cases; and

(ii) Fifteen thousand dollars for appeals to the court of appeals and the supreme court; and

(b) For cases involving other agency action:

(i) Fifty thousand dollars for superior court cases; and

(ii) Fifteen thousand dollars for appeals to the court of appeals and the supreme court.

(3) Subsection (1) of this section shall not apply unless all parties challenging the agency action are qualified parties. If two or more qualified parties join in an action, the award in total shall not exceed twenty-five thousand dollars. The court, in its discretion, may reduce the amount to be awarded pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, or deny any award, to the extent that a qualified party during the course of the proceedings engaged in conduct that unduly or unreasonably protracted the final resolution of the matter in controversy.

(4) Qualified parties shall receive awards under this section for cases pending July 23, 1995.

Sec. 32. RCW 48.04.010 and 1990 1st ex.s. c 3 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

(3) No such regulation shall be made effective prior to the expiration of thirty days after the date of the order by which it is promulgated)).

(((4))) (2) If the commissioner has cause to believe that any person is violating any such ((regulation)) rule or prohibition of this code, the commissioner may order such person to cease and desist therefrom. The commissioner shall deliver such order to such person direct or mail it to the person by registered mail with return receipt requested. If the person violates the order after expiration of ten days after the cease and desist order has been received by him or her, he or she may be fined by the commissioner a sum not to exceed two hundred and fifty dollars for each violation committed thereafter.

(((5))) (3) If any such ((regulation)) rule or prohibition of this code is violated, the commissioner may take such other or additional action as is permitted under the insurance code for violation of a ((regulation)) rule or that prohibition.

(4) Any permanent rule that was adopted by the commissioner under the authority of this section as it existed before the effective date of this section, and that was in effect as of the effective date of this section, shall, if otherwise valid, remain in effect until and unless it is repealed by the commissioner, who shall retain the authority to repeal any such rule, or is effectively repealed by an act of the legislature."

(1) The board shall issue a final order within one hundred eighty days of receipt of the petition for review, or, when multiple petitions are filed, within one hundred eighty days of receipt of the last petition that is consolidated. Such a final order shall be based exclusively on whether or not a state agency, county, or city is in compliance with the requirements of this chapter, chapter 90.58 RCW as it relates to adoption or amendment of shoreline master programs, or chapter 43.21C RCW as it relates to plans, development regulations, and amendments thereto, adopted under RCW 36.70A.040 or chapter 90.58 RCW. In the final order, the board shall either: (a) Find that the state agency, county, or city is in compliance with the requirements of this chapter or chapter 90.58 RCW as it relates to the adoption or amendment of shoreline master programs; or (b) find that the state agency, county, or city is not in compliance with the requirements of this chapter or chapter 90.58 RCW as it relates to the adoption or amendment of shoreline master programs, in which case the board shall remand the matter to the affected state agency, county, or city and specify a reasonable time not in excess of one hundred eighty days within which the state agency, county, or city shall comply with the requirements of this chapter.

(2) A finding of noncompliance and an order of remand shall not affect the validity of comprehensive plans and development regulations during the period of remand((, unless the board's final order also:

(a) Includes a determination, supported by findings of fact and conclusions of law, that the continued validity of the plan or regulation would substantially interfere with the fulfillment of the goals of this chapter; and

(b) Specifies the particular part or parts of the plan or regulation that are determined to be invalid, and the reasons for their invalidity.

(3) A determination of invalidity shall:

(a) Be prospective in effect and shall not extinguish rights that vested under state or local law before the date of the board's order; and

(b) Subject any development application that would otherwise vest after the date of the board's order to the local ordinance or resolution that both is enacted in response to the order of remand and determined by the board pursuant to RCW 36.70A.330 to comply with the requirements of this chapter.

(4) If the ordinance that adopts a plan or development regulation under this chapter includes a savings clause intended to revive prior policies or regulations in the event the new plan or regulations are determined to be invalid, the board shall determine under subsection (2) of this section whether the prior policies or regulations are valid during the period of remand)). All development permits shall vest under such comprehensive plan or development regulations until new comprehensive plan or development regulations are adopted.

(((5))) (3) Any party aggrieved by a final decision of the hearings board may appeal the decision to superior court as provided in RCW 34.05.514 or 36.01.050 within thirty days of the final order of the board.

Sec. 2. RCW 36.70A.330 and 1995 c 347 s 112 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) After the time set for complying with the requirements of this chapter under RCW 36.70A.300(1)(b) has expired, or at an earlier time upon the motion of a county or city ((subject to a determination of invalidity under RCW 36.70A.300)), the board shall set a hearing for the purpose of determining whether the state agency, county, or city is in compliance with the requirements of this chapter.

(2) The board shall conduct a hearing and issue a finding of compliance or noncompliance with the requirements of this chapter. A person with standing to challenge the legislation enacted in response to the board's final order may participate in the hearing along with the petitioner and the state agency, city, or county. A hearing under this subsection shall be given the highest priority of business to be conducted by the board, and a finding shall be issued within forty-five days of the filing of the motion under subsection (1) of this section with the board.

(3) If the board finds that the state agency, county, or city is not in compliance, the board shall transmit its finding to the governor. The board may recommend to the governor that the sanctions authorized by this chapter be imposed.

(((4) The board shall also reconsider its final order and decide:

(a) If a determination of invalidity has been made, whether such a determination should be rescinded or modified under the standards in RCW 36.70A.300(2); or

(b) If no determination of invalidity has been made, whether one now should be made under the standards in RCW 36.70A.300(2).

The board shall schedule additional hearings as appropriate pursuant to subsections (1) and (2) of this section.))

NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. It is the intent of the legislature that the authority given to growth management hearings boards in chapter 347, Laws of 1995 to determine that a plan or regulation is invalid is null and void. Any such determination of invalidity made at any time is null, void, and of no effect. The legislature intends that this act have retroactive application and apply to determinations made before, on, and after the effective date of this act."

Renumber the sections consecutively and correct any internal references and the title accordingly.

Representative Dickerson moved the adoption of the following amendment to the amendment by Representative Dickerson:

Beginning on page 1, after line 5 of the amendment, strike the remainder of the amendment and insert the following:

"Sec. 1. RCW 84.38.010 and 1975 1st ex.s. c 291 s 26 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The legislature finds that savings once deemed adequate for retirement living have been rendered inadequate by increased tax rates, increased property values, and the failure of pension systems to adequately reflect such factors. It is therefore deemed necessary that the legislature, in addition to that tax exemption as provided for in RCW 84.36.381 through 84.36.389 as now or hereafter amended, allow retired persons to defer payment of special assessments on their residences, and to defer their real property tax obligations on their residences, an amount of up to eighty percent of their equity in said property. ((This deferral program)) The deferral provided under RCW 84.38.030 is intended to assist retired persons in maintaining their dignity and a reasonable standard of living by residing in their own homes, providing for their own needs, and managing their own affairs without requiring assistance from public welfare programs.

(2) The legislature also finds that large and unanticipated increases in taxes on residential property, usually attributable to rapid increases in property values, cause undue and excessive hardships for many homeowners. These increased tax burdens put many of these homeowners at risk of being unable to remain in their residences and maintain their property. Temporary financial hardships, such as unemployment or medical costs, may also cause some homeowners to have insufficient resources to pay property tax bills. The legislature therefore intends to provide such distressed taxpayers with the ability to defer taxes due so that they will be able to remain in their homes while still paying an equitable share of the overall property tax burden.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 84.38 RCW to read as follows:

A claimant may defer payment of that amount of real property taxes that exceeds six percent of the claimant's combined disposable income, but not to exceed two thousand five hundred dollars per year, if the following conditions are met:

(1) The property taxes must have been imposed upon a residence that was occupied by the claimant as a principal place of residence as of January 1st of the year in which the taxes are due, subject to the exceptions allowed under RCW 84.36.381(1);

(2) The total amount deferred by a claimant under this chapter may not exceed eighty percent of the claimant's equity value in the claimant's residence; and

(3) The claimant must meet the conditions of RCW 84.38.030 (4) and (5).

Sec. 3. RCW 84.38.050 and 1979 ex.s. c 214 s 8 are each amended to read as follows:

(1)(a) Declarations to defer property taxes for all years following the first year under RCW 84.38.030 may be made by filing with the county assessor no later than thirty days before the tax is due a renewal form in duplicate, prescribed by the department of revenue and supplied by the county assessor, which affirms the continued eligibility of the claimant.

(b) In January of each year, the county assessor shall send to each claimant who has been granted deferral of ad valorem taxes for the previous year under RCW 84.38.030 renewal forms and notice to renew.

(2) Declarations to defer special assessments shall be made by filing with the assessor no later than thirty days before the special assessment is due on a form to be prescribed by the department of revenue and supplied by the county assessor. Upon approval, the full amount of special assessments upon such claimant's residence shall be deferred but not to exceed an amount equal to eighty percent of the claimant's equity value in said property."

On page 14, after line 32, insert the following:

All property shall be valued at one hundred percent of its true and fair value in money and assessed on the same basis unless specifically provided otherwise by law.

Taxable leasehold estates shall be valued at such price as they would bring at a fair, voluntary sale for cash without any deductions for any indebtedness owed including rentals to be paid.

The true and fair value of real property for taxation purposes (including property upon which there is a coal or other mine, or stone or other quarry) shall be based upon the most probable and most reasonable use of the real property using the following criteria:

(1) Any sales of the property being appraised or similar properties with respect to sales made within the past five years. The appraisal shall be consistent with the comprehensive land use plan, development regulations under chapter 36.70A RCW, zoning, and any other governmental policies or practices in effect at the time of appraisal that affect the use of property, as well as physical and environmental influences. The appraisal shall also take into account: (a) In the use of sales by real estate contract as similar sales, the extent, if any, to which the stated selling price has been increased by reason of the down payment, interest rate, or other financing terms; and (b) the extent to which the sale of a similar property actually represents the general effective market demand for property of such type, in the geographical area in which such property is located. Sales involving deed releases or similar seller-developer financing arrangements shall not be used as sales of similar property.

(2) In addition to sales as defined in subsection (1), consideration may be given to cost, cost less depreciation, reconstruction cost less depreciation, or capitalization of income that would be derived from prudent use of the property. In the case of property of a complex nature, or being used under terms of a franchise from a public agency, or operating as a public utility, or property not having a record of sale within five years and not having a significant number of sales of similar property in the general area, the provisions of this subsection (2) shall be the dominant factors in valuation. When provisions of this subsection (2) are relied upon for establishing values the property owner shall be advised upon request of the factors used in arriving at such value.

(3) In valuing any tract or parcel of real property, the value of the land, exclusive of structures thereon shall be determined; also the value of structures thereon, but the valuation shall not exceed the value of the total property as it exists. In valuing agricultural land, growing crops shall be excluded."

On page 21, after line 23, insert the following:

"PART VI. LICENSE SUSPENSION

NEW SECTION. Sec. 601. The legislature recognizes that the current statutory procedures for the collection of child support do not apply to all persons owing child support. In order to further insure that child support obligations are met, this act establishes a program by which certain licenses may be suspended if a person is one hundred eighty days or more in arrears on child support payments. With this program, it is the intent of the legislature to provide a strong incentive for persons owing support to make timely payments, and to cooperate with the department of social and health services to establish an appropriate schedule for the payment of any arrears.

In the implementation and management of this program, it is the legislature's intent that the objective of the department of social and health services be to obtain payment in full of arrears, or where that is not possible, to enter into agreements with delinquent obligors to make timely support payments and make reasonable payments towards the arrears. The legislature intends that if the obligor refuses to cooperate in establishing a fair and reasonable payment schedule for arrears, or refuses to make timely support payments, the department shall proceed with certification to a licensing entity or the department of licensing that the person is not in compliance with a child support order.

Sec. 602. RCW 74.20A.020 and 1990 1st ex.s. c 2 s 15 are each amended to read as follows:

For purposes of RCW 74.20A.055, orders for support which were entered under the uniform reciprocal enforcement of support act by a state where the responsible parent no longer resides shall not preclude the department from establishing an amount to be paid as current and future support.

(6) "Administrative order" means any determination, finding, decree, or order for support pursuant to RCW 74.20A.055, or by an agency of another state pursuant to a substantially similar administrative process, establishing the existence of a support obligation and ordering the payment of a set or determinable amount of support moneys to satisfy the support obligation.

(8) "Stepparent" means the present spouse of the person who is either the mother, father, or adoptive parent of a dependent child, and such status shall exist until terminated as provided for in RCW 26.16.205.

(9) "Support moneys" means any moneys or in-kind providings paid to satisfy a support obligation whether denominated as child support, spouse support, alimony, maintenance, or any other such moneys intended to satisfy an obligation for support of any person or satisfaction in whole or in part of arrears or delinquency on such an obligation.

(10) "Support debt" means any delinquent amount of support moneys which is due, owing, and unpaid under a superior court order or an administrative order, a debt for the payment of expenses for the reasonable or necessary care, support, and maintenance, including medical expenses, of a dependent child or other person for whom a support obligation is owed; or a debt under RCW 74.20A.100 or 74.20A.270. Support debt also includes any accrued interest, fees, or penalties charged on a support debt, and attorneys fees and other costs of litigation awarded in an action to establish and enforce a support obligation or debt.

(11) "State" means any state or political subdivision, territory, or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

(12) "Licensing entity" means any department, board, bureau, commission, committee, regulatory entity or agency, or other licensor authorized to issue, renew, suspend, or revoke a license authorizing an individual to engage in a business, occupation, profession, industry, or licensed recreational activity, or to drive a motor vehicle. It also means the Washington state bar association's board of governors and the Washington supreme court.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 603. A new section is added to chapter 74.20A RCW to read as follows:

(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, the department may serve upon a responsible parent a notice informing the responsible parent of the department's intent to submit the parent's name to any appropriate licensing entity as a licensee who is not in compliance with a support order. The department must attach a copy of the responsible parent's support order to the notice. Service of the notice must be made by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service.

(2) The department shall not issue a notice of noncompliance with a support order under this section when the department can withhold the responsible parent's earnings under RCW 26.23.060 in an amount sufficient to ensure the payment of current support and a reasonable amount towards the support debt.

(3) The notice of noncompliance must include the address and telephone number of the department's division of child support office that issues the notice and must inform the responsible parent that:

(a) The parent may request an adjudicative proceeding to contest the issue of noncompliance. The only issues that may be considered at the adjudicative proceeding are whether the parent is required to pay a support obligation under a support order and whether the parent is in compliance with that order;

(b) A request for an adjudicative proceeding must be in writing and must be received by the department within twenty days of the date of service of the notice;

(c) If the parent requests an adjudicative proceeding within twenty days of service, the department must stay the action to certify the parent to all appropriate licensing entities for noncompliance with a support order pending entry of a written decision after the adjudicative proceeding;

(d) If the parent does not request an adjudicative proceeding within twenty days of service and remains in noncompliance with a support order, the department will certify the parent's name to any appropriate licensing entity for noncompliance with a support order;

(e) The department must stay action to certify the parent to any appropriate licensing entity for noncompliance if the parent agrees to make timely payments of current support and agrees to a reasonable payment schedule for payment of the support debt. It is the parent's responsibility to contact in person or by mail the department's division of child support office indicated on the notice within twenty days of service of the notice to arrange for a payment schedule. The department may stay certification for up to thirty days after contact from a parent to arrange for a payment schedule;

(f) If the department certifies the responsible parent to a licensing entity for noncompliance with a support order, the licensing entity must suspend the parent's license until the parent provides the licensing entity with a written release from the department stating that the responsible parent is in compliance with the support order;

(g) Suspension of a license will affect insurability if the responsible parent's insurance policy excludes coverage for acts occurring after the suspension of a license;

(h) If after receiving the notice of noncompliance with a support order, the responsible parent files a motion to modify support with the court or requests the department to amend a support obligation or debt established by an administrative decision, the department or the court may, for up to one hundred eighty days, stay action to certify the parent to any licensing entity for noncompliance with a support order. If a motion for modification of a court or administrative order for a support obligation is pending before service of the notice, any action to certify the parent to a licensing entity for noncompliance with a support order must be automatically stayed until entry of a final order or decision in the modification proceedings. The responsible parent has the obligation to notify the department that a modification proceeding is pending and provide a copy of the motion or request for modification; and

(i) If the responsible parent subsequently becomes in compliance with the support order, the department must promptly provide the parent with a written release stating that the parent is in compliance with the order, and the parent may request that the licensing entity reinstate the suspended license.

(4) A responsible parent may request an adjudicative proceeding upon service of the notice described in subsection (3) of this section. The request for an adjudicative proceeding must be received by the department within twenty days of service. The request must be in writing and indicate the current mailing address and daytime phone number, if available, of the responsible parent. The proceedings under this subsection shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of chapter 34.05 RCW. The issues that may be considered at the adjudicative proceeding are limited to whether the responsible parent is required to pay a support obligation or debt under a support order and whether the responsible parent is in compliance with the order.

(5) The decision resulting from the adjudicative proceeding must be in writing and inform the responsible parent of all rights to review. The parent's copy of the decision may be sent by regular mail to the parent's most recent address of record.

(6) If a responsible parent contacts the department's division of child support office indicated on the notice of noncompliance within twenty days of service of the notice and requests arrangement of a payment schedule, the department must stay the certification of noncompliance during negotiation of the schedule for payment of arrears. In no event may the stay continue for more than thirty days from the date of contact by the parent. The department must make good faith efforts to establish a schedule for payment of the support debt that is fair and reasonable, and that considers the financial situation of the responsible parent and the needs of all children who rely on the responsible parent for support. At the end of the thirty days, if no payment schedule has been agreed to in writing, the department must proceed with certification of noncompliance.

(7) If a responsible parent timely requests an adjudicative proceeding to contest the issue of noncompliance, the department may not certify the name of the parent to a licensing entity for noncompliance with a support order unless the adjudicative proceeding results in a finding that the responsible parent is not in compliance with the order.

(8) The department may certify in writing to any appropriate licensing entity the name of a responsible parent who is not in compliance with a support order if:

(a) The responsible parent does not timely request an adjudicative proceeding upon service of a notice issued under subsection (3) of this section and is not in compliance with a support order twenty-one days after service of the notice;

(b) An adjudicative proceeding results in a decision that the responsible parent is not in compliance with a support order;

(c) The department and the responsible parent have been unable to agree on a fair and reasonable schedule for payment of the support debt; or

(d) The court enters a judgment on a petition for judicial review that finds the responsible parent is not in compliance with a support order.

The department must send by regular mail a copy of any certification of noncompliance filed with a licensing entity to the responsible parent at the responsible parent's most recent address of record.

(9) A licensing entity shall notify a responsible parent certified by the department under subsection (8) of this section, without undue delay, that the parent's driver's license or other license has been suspended because the parent's name has been certified by the department as a responsible parent who is not in compliance with a support order.

(10) When a responsible parent who is served notice under subsection (3) of this section subsequently complies with the support order, the department shall promptly provide the parent with a written release stating that the responsible parent is in compliance with the order.

(11) The department may adopt rules to implement and enforce the requirements of this section.

(12) Nothing in this section prohibits a responsible parent from filing a motion to modify support with the court or from requesting the department to amend a support obligation or debt established by an administrative decision. If there is a reasonable likelihood that the motion or request will significantly change the amount of the support debt, the department or the court may, for up to one hundred eighty days, stay action to certify the responsible parent to any licensing entity for noncompliance with a support order. If a motion for modification of a court or administrative order for a support obligation is pending before service of the notice, any action to certify the parent to a licensing entity for noncompliance with a support order must be automatically stayed until entry of a final order or decision in the modification proceedings. The responsible parent has the obligation to notify the department that a modification proceeding is pending and provide a copy of the motion or request for modification.

(13) A licensing entity may issue, renew, reinstate, or otherwise extend a license in accordance with the licensing entity's rules after the licensing entity receives a copy of the written release specified in subsection (10) of this section. The licensing entity may waive any applicable requirement for reissuance, renewal, or other extension if it determines that the imposition of that requirement places an undue burden on the person and that waiver of the requirement is consistent with the public interest.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 604. A new section is added to chapter 74.20A RCW to read as follows:

(1) The department of social and health services and all of the various licensing entities subject to section 603 of this act shall enter into such agreements as are necessary to carry out the requirements of the license suspension program established in section 603 of this act, but only to the extent the departments and the licensing entities determine it is cost-effective or required by federal law.

(2) On or before January 1, 1997, and quarterly thereafter, the department of social and health services and all licensing entities subject to section 603 of this act shall perform a comparison of responsible parents who are not in compliance with a support order, as defined in section 603 of this act, with all licensees subject to chapter . . ., Laws of 1996 (this act). The comparison may be conducted electronically, or by any other means that is jointly agreeable between the department and the particular licensing entity. The data shared shall be limited to those items necessary to implementation of chapter . . ., Laws of 1996 (this act). The purpose of the comparison shall be to identify current licensees who are not in compliance with a support order, and to provide to the department of social and health services the following information regarding those licensees:

(a) Name;

(b) Date of birth;

(d) Federal employer identification number or social security number;

(e) Type of license;

The department shall establish a procedure to invalidate the surrendered photograph license and return it to the person. The invalidated license, along with the valid temporary Washington driver's license provided for in RCW 46.20.055(3), shall be accepted as proper identification.

Whenever the license or driving privilege of any person is suspended as a result of certification of noncompliance with a support order under chapter 74.20A RCW, the suspension shall remain in effect until the person provides a written release issued by the department of social and health services stating that the person is in compliance with the order.

(2) Any person whose license or privilege to drive a motor vehicle on the public highways has been revoked, unless the revocation was for a cause which has been removed, is not entitled to have the license or privilege renewed or restored until: (a) After the expiration of one year from the date the license or privilege to drive was revoked; (b) after the expiration of the applicable revocation period provided by RCW 46.20.3101 or 46.61.5055; (c) after the expiration of two years for persons convicted of vehicular homicide; or (d) after the expiration of the applicable revocation period provided by RCW 46.20.265.

(a) Who is of good character. Good character, for purposes of this section, means lack of a history of dishonest or felonious acts. The board may refuse to grant a certificate on the ground of failure to satisfy this requirement only if there is a substantial connection between the lack of good character of the applicant and the professional responsibilities of a certified public accountant and if the finding by the board of lack of good character is supported by a preponderance of evidence. When an applicant is found to be unqualified for a certificate because of a lack of good character, the board shall furnish the applicant a statement containing the findings of the board and a notice of the applicant's right of appeal;

(b) Who has met the educational standards established by rule as the board determines to be appropriate;

The board may, in its discretion, waive the educational requirements for any person if it is satisfied through review of documentation of successful completion of an equivalency examination that the person's educational qualifications are an acceptable substitute for the requirements of (b) of this subsection; and

The board shall to the extent possible see to it that the grading of the examination, and the passing grades, are uniform with those applicable to all other states. The board may make use of all or a part of the uniform certified public accountant examination and advisory grading service of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and may contract with third parties to perform administrative services with respect to the examination as the board deems appropriate to assist it in performing its duties under this chapter.

(3) An applicant is required to pass all sections of the examination provided for in subsection (2) of this section in order to qualify for a certificate.

(a) The applicant took all sections of the examination at that sitting;

(b) The applicant attained a minimum grade of fifty on each section not passed at that sitting;

(c) The applicant passes the remaining sections of the examination within six consecutive examinations given after the one at which the first sections were passed;

(5) The board shall charge each applicant an examination fee for the initial examination under subsection (1) of this section, or for reexamination under subsection (3) of this section for each subject in which the applicant is reexamined. The applicable fee shall be paid by the person at the time he or she applies for examination, reexamination, or evaluation of educational qualifications. Fees for examination, reexamination, or evaluation of educational qualifications shall be determined by the board under chapter 18.04 RCW. There is established in the state treasury an account to be known as the certified public accountants' account. All fees received from candidates to take any or all sections of the certified public accountant examination shall be used only for costs related to the examination.

(6) Persons who on June 30, 1986, held certified public accountant certificates previously issued under the laws of this state shall not be required to obtain additional certificates under this chapter, but shall otherwise be subject to this chapter. Certificates previously issued shall, for all purposes, be considered certificates issued under this chapter and subject to its provisions.

(7) A certificate of a "certified public accountant" under this chapter is issued on a biennial basis with renewal subject to requirements of continuing professional education and payment of fees, prescribed by the board.

(8) The board shall adopt rules providing for continuing professional education for certified public accountants. The rules shall:

(a) Provide that a certified public accountant shall verify to the board that he or she has completed at least an accumulation of eighty hours of continuing professional education during the last two-year period to maintain the certificate;

(b) Establish continuing professional education requirements;

(c) Establish when newly certificated public accountants shall verify that they have completed the required continuing professional education; and

Sec. 654. RCW 43.20A.205 and 1989 c 175 s 95 are each amended to read as follows:

This section governs the denial of an application for a license or the suspension, revocation, or modification of a license by the department.

(1) The department shall give written notice of the denial of an application for a license to the applicant or his or her agent. The department shall give written notice of revocation, suspension, or modification of a license to the licensee or his or her agent. The notice shall state the reasons for the action. The notice shall be personally served in the manner of service of a summons in a civil action or shall be given in ((an other)) another manner that shows proof of receipt.

(2) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection and in subsection (4) of this section, revocation, suspension, or modification is effective twenty-eight days after the licensee or the agent receives the notice.

(a) The department may make the date the action is effective later than twenty-eight days after receipt. If the department does so, it shall state the effective date in the written notice given the licensee or agent.

(b) The department may make the date the action is effective sooner than twenty-eight days after receipt when necessary to protect the public health, safety, or welfare. When the department does so, it shall state the effective date and the reasons supporting the effective date in the written notice given to the licensee or agent.

(c) When the department has received certification pursuant to chapter 74.20A RCW from the division of child support that the licensee is a person who is not in compliance with a support order, the department shall provide that the suspension is effective immediately upon receipt of the suspension notice by the licensee.

(3) Except for licensees suspended for noncompliance with a support order under chapter 74.20A RCW, a license applicant or licensee who is aggrieved by a department denial, revocation, suspension, or modification has the right to an adjudicative proceeding. The proceeding is governed by the Administrative Procedure Act, chapter 34.05 RCW. The application must be in writing, state the basis for contesting the adverse action, include a copy of the adverse notice, be served on and received by the department within twenty-eight days of the license applicant's or licensee's receiving the adverse notice, and be served in a manner that shows proof of receipt.

(4)(a) If the department gives a licensee twenty-eight or more days notice of revocation, suspension, or modification and the licensee files an appeal before its effective date, the department shall not implement the adverse action until the final order has been entered. The presiding or reviewing officer may permit the department to implement part or all of the adverse action while the proceedings are pending if the appellant causes an unreasonable delay in the proceeding, if the circumstances change so that implementation is in the public interest, or for other good cause.

(b) If the department gives a licensee less than twenty-eight days notice of revocation, suspension, or modification and the licensee timely files a sufficient appeal, the department may implement the adverse action on the effective date stated in the notice. The presiding or reviewing officer may order the department to stay implementation of part or all of the adverse action while the proceedings are pending if staying implementation is in the public interest or for other good cause.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 655. A new section is added to chapter 28A.410 RCW to read as follows:

(1) No person who has been certified by the department of social and health services as a person who is not in compliance with a support order as provided in section 603 of this act may be issued a certificate or permit under this chapter. The application of a person so certified by the department of social and health services may be reviewed for issuance of a certificate or permit after the person provides the authority authorized to grant the certificate or permit a written release issued by the department of social and health services stating that the person is in compliance with the order.

(2) Any certificate or permit authorized under this chapter or chapter 28A.405 RCW shall be suspended by the authority authorized to grant the certificate or permit if the department of social and health services certifies that the person is not in compliance with a support order as provided in section 603 of this act. If the person continues to meet other requirements for reinstatement during the suspension, reissuance of the certificate or permit shall be automatic after the person provides the authority a written release issued by the department of social and health services stating that the person is in compliance with the order.

Sec. 656. RCW 43.70.115 and 1991 c 3 s 377 are each amended to read as follows:

This section governs the denial of an application for a license or the suspension, revocation, or modification of a license by the department. This section does not govern actions taken under chapter 18.130 RCW.

(c) When the department has received certification pursuant to chapter 74.20A RCW from the department of social and health services that the licensee is a person who is not in compliance with a child support order, the department shall provide that the suspension is effective immediately upon receipt of the suspension notice by the licensee.

(3) Except for licensees suspended for noncompliance with a child support order under chapter 74.20A RCW, a license applicant or licensee who is aggrieved by a department denial, revocation, suspension, or modification has the right to an adjudicative proceeding. The proceeding is governed by the Administrative Procedure Act, chapter 34.05 RCW. The application must be in writing, state the basis for contesting the adverse action, include a copy of the adverse notice, be served on and received by the department within twenty-eight days of the license applicant's or licensee's receiving the adverse notice, and be served in a manner that shows proof of receipt.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 657. A new section is added to chapter 26.18 RCW to read as follows:

(1) Upon motion by the obligee and after a hearing the court may enter a finding that the obligor is not in compliance with a support order for purposes of this section and that the obligor has a license or is in the process of applying for or renewing a license that is subject to the provisions of this section. The issue that may be considered at the hearing is limited to whether the obligor is in compliance with the support order.

(2) If the court enters a finding that the obligor is not in compliance with a support order, the court shall enter an order directed to the appropriate licensing entity which certifies that the obligor is not in compliance with a support order. The order shall contain the obligor's name, address, and social security number, and shall indicate whether the obligor is believed to be a licensee who has, is in the process of applying for, or may seek renewal of a license issued directly by the licensing entity or through a board affiliated with the licensing entity. The court clerk shall forward the order to the licensing entity.

(3) Upon receipt of the court order the licensing entity shall refuse to issue or renew a license to the licensee or shall suspend the licensee's license according to the provisions of section 603 of this act until the licensee provides the licensing entity with a release from the court that states the licensee is in compliance with the support order.

(4) When an obligor subsequently complies with the support order, the court shall provide the obligor and the appropriate licensing entity with written confirmation that the obligor is in compliance with the court order.

(5) The court may issue an order denying, suspending, or not reissuing a license if the court issues an arrest warrant after the obligor fails to appear at the show cause hearing.

(6) Nothing in this section prohibits an obligor from filing a motion to modify a support order with the court under applicable provisions in chapter 26.09 RCW governing modification.

(7) As used in this section, unless the context indicates otherwise, "licensing entity," "noncompliance with a support order," "license," and "licensee" have the same meanings as in RCW 74.20A.020.

Sec. 658. RCW 26.23.050 and 1994 c 230 s 9 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) If the office of support enforcement is providing support enforcement services under RCW 26.23.045, or if a party is applying for support enforcement services by signing the application form on the bottom of the support order, the superior court shall include in all court orders that establish or modify a support obligation:

(a) A provision that orders and directs the responsible parent to make all support payments to the Washington state support registry;

(b) A statement that a notice of payroll deduction may be issued, or other income withholding action under chapter 26.18 or 74.20A RCW may be taken, without further notice to the responsible parent at any time after entry of the court order, unless:

(i) One of the parties demonstrates, and the court finds, that there is good cause not to require immediate income withholding and that withholding should be delayed until a payment is past due; or

(ii) The parties reach a written agreement that is approved by the court that provides for an alternate arrangement; ((and))

(c) A statement that the receiving parent might be required to submit an accounting of how the support is being spent to benefit the child; and

(d) A statement that the responsible parent's privileges to obtain and maintain a license, as defined in section 657 of this act, may be denied, not renewed, or suspended if the parent is not in compliance with a support order as defined in section 657 of this act.

As used in this subsection and subsection (3) of this section, "good cause not to require immediate income withholding" means a written determination of why implementing immediate wage withholding would not be in the child's best interests and, in modification cases, proof of timely payment of previously ordered support.

(2) In all other cases not under subsection (1) of this section, the court may order the responsible parent to make payments directly to the person entitled to receive the payments, to the Washington state support registry, or may order that payments be made in accordance with an alternate arrangement agreed upon by the parties.

(a) The superior court shall include in all orders under this subsection that establish or modify a support obligation:

(i) A statement that a notice of payroll deduction may be issued or other income withholding action under chapter 26.18 or 74.20A RCW may be taken, without further notice to the responsible parent at any time after entry of the court order, unless:

(A) One of the parties demonstrates, and the court finds, that there is good cause not to require immediate income withholding and that withholding should be delayed until a payment is past due; or

(B) The parties reach a written agreement that is approved by the court that provides for an alternate arrangement; and

(ii) A statement that the receiving parent may be required to submit an accounting of how the support is being spent to benefit the child.

As used in this subsection, "good cause not to require immediate income withholding" is any reason that the court finds appropriate.

(b) The superior court may order immediate or delayed income withholding as follows:

(i) Immediate income withholding may be ordered if the responsible parent has earnings. If immediate income withholding is ordered under this subsection, all support payments shall be paid to the Washington state support registry. The superior court shall issue a mandatory wage assignment order as set forth in chapter 26.18 RCW when the support order is signed by the court. The parent entitled to receive the transfer payment is responsible for serving the employer with the order and for its enforcement as set forth in chapter 26.18 RCW.

(ii) If immediate income withholding is not ordered, the court shall require that income withholding be delayed until a payment is past due. The support order shall contain a statement that a notice of payroll deduction may be issued, or other income-withholding action under chapter 26.18 or 74.20A RCW may be taken, without further notice to the responsible parent, after a payment is past due.

(c) If a mandatory wage withholding order under chapter 26.18 RCW is issued under this subsection and the office of support enforcement provides support enforcement services under RCW 26.23.045, the existing wage withholding assignment is prospectively superseded upon the office of support enforcement's subsequent service of an income withholding notice.

(3) The office of administrative hearings and the department of social and health services shall require that all support obligations established as administrative orders include a provision which orders and directs that the responsible parent shall make all support payments to the Washington state support registry. All administrative orders shall also state that the responsible parent's privileges to obtain and maintain a license, as defined in section 657 of this act, may be denied, not renewed, or suspended if the parent is not in compliance with a support order as defined in section 657 of this act. All administrative orders shall also state that a notice of payroll deduction may be issued, or other income withholding action taken without further notice to the responsible parent at any time after entry of the order, unless:

(a) One of the parties demonstrates, and the presiding officer finds, that there is good cause not to require immediate income withholding; or

(b) The parties reach a written agreement that is approved by the presiding officer that provides for an alternate agreement.

(4) If the support order does not include the provision ordering and directing that all payments be made to the Washington state support registry and a statement that a notice of payroll deduction may be issued if a support payment is past due or at any time after the entry of the order, or that a parent's licensing privileges may be denied, not renewed, or suspended, the office of support enforcement may serve a notice on the responsible parent stating such requirements and authorizations. Service may be by personal service or any form of mail requiring a return receipt.

(5) Every support order shall state:

(a) The address where the support payment is to be sent;

(b) That a notice of payroll deduction may be issued or other income withholding action under chapter 26.18 or 74.20A RCW may be taken, without further notice to the responsible parent at any time after entry of an order by the court, unless:

(i) One of the parties demonstrates, and the court finds, that there is good cause not to require immediate income withholding; or

(c) The income of the parties, if known, or that their income is unknown and the income upon which the support award is based;

(d) The support award as a sum certain amount;

(e) The specific day or date on which the support payment is due;

(f) The social security number, residence address, and name and address of the employer of the responsible parent;

(g) The social security number and residence address of the physical custodian except as provided in subsection (6) of this section;

(h) The names, dates of birth, and social security numbers, if any, of the dependent children;

(i) In cases requiring payment to the Washington state support registry, that the parties are to notify the Washington state support registry of any change in residence address. The responsible parent shall notify the registry of the name and address of his or her current employer, whether he or she has access to health insurance coverage at reasonable cost and, if so, the health insurance policy information;

(j) That any parent owing a duty of child support shall be obligated to provide health insurance coverage for his or her child if coverage that can be extended to cover the child is or becomes available to that parent through employment or is union-related as provided under RCW 26.09.105;

(k) That if proof of health insurance coverage or proof that the coverage is unavailable is not provided within twenty days, the obligee or the department may seek direct enforcement of the coverage through the obligor's employer or union without further notice to the obligor as provided under chapter 26.18 RCW; ((and))

(l) The reasons for not ordering health insurance coverage if the order fails to require such coverage; and

(m) That the responsible parent's privileges to obtain and maintain a license, as defined in section 657 of this act, may be denied, not renewed, or suspended if the parent is not in compliance with a support order as defined in section 657 of this act.

(6) The physical custodian's address:

(a) Shall be omitted from an order entered under the administrative procedure act. When the physical custodian's address is omitted from an order, the order shall state that the custodian's address is known to the office of support enforcement.

(b) A responsible parent may request the physical custodian's residence address by submission of a request for disclosure under RCW 26.23.120 to the office of support enforcement.

(7) The superior court clerk, the office of administrative hearings, and the department of social and health services shall, within five days of entry, forward to the Washington state support registry, a true and correct copy of all superior court orders or administrative orders establishing or modifying a support obligation which provide that support payments shall be made to the support registry. If a superior court order entered prior to January 1, 1988, directs the responsible parent to make support payments to the clerk, the clerk shall send a true and correct copy of the support order and the payment record to the registry for enforcement action when the clerk identifies that a payment is more than fifteen days past due. The office of support enforcement shall reimburse the clerk for the reasonable costs of copying and sending copies of court orders to the registry at the reimbursement rate provided in Title IV-D of the social security act.

(8) Receipt of a support order by the registry or other action under this section on behalf of a person or persons who have not made a written application for support enforcement services to the office of support enforcement and who are not recipients of public assistance is deemed to be a request for payment services only.

(9) After the responsible parent has been ordered or notified to make payments to the Washington state support registry under this section, the responsible parent shall be fully responsible for making all payments to the Washington state support registry and shall be subject to payroll deduction or other income withholding action. The responsible parent shall not be entitled to credit against a support obligation for any payments made to a person or agency other than to the Washington state support registry except as provided under RCW 74.20.101. A civil action may be brought by the payor to recover payments made to persons or agencies who have received and retained support moneys paid contrary to the provisions of this section.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 659. A new section is added to chapter 26.09 RCW to read as follows:

The court may issue an order denying, suspending, or not reissuing a license if the court issues an arrest warrant after the parent fails to appear following service under the civil rules at any hearing involving determination, modification, or enforcement of support or if a warrant is issued for failure to appear.

"PART I

TIME LIMITS ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE

Sec. 101. RCW 74.12.420 and 1994 c 299 s 9 are each amended to read as follows:

The legislature recognizes that long-term recipients of aid to families with dependent children may require a period of several years to attain economic self-sufficiency. To provide incentives for long-term recipients to leave public assistance and accept paid employment, the legislature finds that less punitive and onerous sanctions than those required by the federal government are appropriate. The legislature finds that a ten percent reduction in grants for long-term recipients that may be replaced through earned income is a more positive approach than sanctions required by the federal government for long-term recipients who fail to comply with requirements of the job opportunities and basic skills program. A long-term recipient shall not be subject to two simultaneous sanctions for failure to comply with the participation requirements of the job opportunities and basic skills program and for exceeding the length of stay provisions of this section.

(1) ((After forty-eight monthly benefit payments in a sixty-month period, and after each additional twelve monthly benefit payments, the aid to families with dependent children monthly benefit payment shall be reduced by ten percent of the payment standard, except that after forty-eight monthly payments in a sixty-month period, full monthly benefit payments may be made)) After thirty-six full monthly benefit payments in a sixty-month period, benefit payments shall be reduced by ten percent each year for a period of no more than three years, totaling thirty-six monthly payments. At the end of the period consisting of thirty-six months of full payments in a sixty-month period followed by thirty-six months of reduced payments, no further payments may be allowed for two years. However, neither reduction nor time limits in this section apply if:

(a) The person is incapacitated or is needed in the home to care for a member of the household who is incapacitated;

(b) The person is needed in the home to care for a child who is under ((three)) two years of age;

(d) The person is ((cooperating in the development and implementation of an employability plan)) actively participating in the job opportunities and basic skills training program while receiving aid to families with dependent children and no present full-time, part-time, or unpaid work experience job is offered; ((or))

(e) During a month in which a grant reduction would be imposed under this section, the person is participating in an unpaid work experience program;

(f) Child care is not made available by the department;

(g) The person was not offered services by the job opportunities and basic skills program at least six months before the benefit reduction; or

(h) The person is volunteering in the community a minimum of eighty hours per month.

(2) ((For purposes of determining the amount of the food stamp benefit for recipients subject to benefit reductions provided for in subsection (1) of this section, countable income from the aid to families with dependent children program shall be set at the payment standard.

(3))) For purposes of determining monthly benefit payments for two-parent aid to families with dependent children households, the length of stay criterion will be applied to the parent with the longer history of public assistance receipt.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 102. A new section is added to chapter 74.12 RCW to read as follows:

A family receiving or applying for assistance under the aid to families with dependent children program shall enter into an accountability agreement satisfying the requirements of this section. The agreement shall be entered into by the department of social and health services and the recipient on a form prescribed by the department. The agreement shall include a list of available benefits to which the family is eligible, a summary of the responsibilities the recipient must accept, and related conditions of benefits, including time limits and benefit reductions.

PART II

REQUIRING MANDATORY PARTICIPATION IN THE

JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND BASIC SKILLS PROGRAM

Sec. 201. RCW 74.25.020 and 1993 c 312 s 7 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The department of social and health services is authorized to contract with public and private employment and training agencies and other public service entities to provide services prescribed or allowed under the federal social security act, as amended, to carry out the purposes of the jobs training program. The department of social and health services has sole authority and responsibility to carry out the job opportunities and basic skills training program. No contracting entity shall have the authority to review, change, or disapprove any administrative decision, or otherwise substitute its judgment for that of the department of social and health services as to the application of policies and rules adopted by the department of social and health services.

(2) ((To the extent feasible under federal law, the department of social and health services and all entities contracting with it shall give first priority of service to individuals volunteering for program participation.)) The department of social and health services shall develop a realistic schedule for the phase-in of client participation in the job opportunities and basic skills training program based on the availability of state and federal funding.

(3) The department of social and health services shall adopt rules under chapter 34.05 RCW ((establishing)) that conform to the criteria in federal law for mandatory program participation as well as establish criteria constituting circumstances of good cause for an individual failing or refusing to participate in an assigned program component, or failing or refusing to accept or retain employment. ((These)) The good cause criteria shall include, but not be limited to, the following circumstances: (a) If the individual is a parent or other relative personally providing care for a child under age ((six)) two years, and the employment would require the individual to work more than twenty hours per week; (b) if child care, or day care for an incapacitated individual living in the same home as a dependent child, is necessary for an individual to participate or continue participation in the program or accept employment, and such care is not available, and the department of social and health services fails to provide such care; (c) the employment would result in the family of the participant experiencing a net loss of cash income; or (d) circumstances that are beyond the control of the individual's household, either on a short-term or on an ongoing basis.

(c) A request for an adjudicative proceeding shall be in writing and must be received by the department within twenty days of the date of service;

(e) The department shall certify the parent to the department of licensing for noncompliance with a child support order unless the parent, within twenty days of the date the notice is served:

(i) Requests an adjudicative proceeding to contest the issue of noncompliance; or

(ii) Makes arrangements, satisfactory to the department, to pay current support and retire the past-due child support debt;

(f) If the department certifies the parent to the department of licensing, the department of licensing shall suspend the parent's driver's license;

(g) If the parent requests an adjudicative proceeding, the parent shall direct the request to the division of child support field office that is responsible for handling the parent's case; and

(h) If the parent files an action to modify support with the appropriate judicial or administrative forum that issued the order, the department shall, for up to one hundred eighty days, stay the action to certify the parent to the department of licensing for noncompliance with a child support order.

(2) The notice shall include the address and telephone number of the division of child support field office that issues the notice, a copy of the responsible parent's child support order, and the amount of the delinquency.

(3) A responsible parent may request an adjudicative proceeding within twenty days of the date the notice is served. The request for adjudicative proceeding shall be in writing and include the responsible parent's current address. The adjudicative proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with chapter 34.05 RCW and the rules of the department.

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 8. A new section is added to chapter 41.59 RCW to read as follows:

The intent and purpose of sections 8 through 15 of this act are to recognize that there exists a public policy in the state of Washington against strikes by educational employees as a means of settling their labor disputes; that the uninterrupted and dedicated service of these employees is vital to the welfare and public safety of the state of Washington; that to promote such dedicated and uninterrupted public service there should exist an effective and adequate alternative means of settling disputes.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 9. A new section is added to chapter 41.59 RCW to read as follows:

Negotiations between an employer and the bargaining representative in a unit of educational employees shall be commenced at least five months before the date on which school districts are required to submit copies of their budgets to their educational service districts. If no agreement has been reached sixty days after the commencement of such negotiations then, at any time thereafter, either party may declare that an impasse exists and may submit the dispute to the commission for mediation, with or without the concurrence of the other party. The commission shall appoint a mediator, who shall forthwith meet with the representatives of the parties, either jointly or separately, and shall take such other steps as he or she may deem appropriate in order to persuade the parties to resolve their differences and effect an agreement: PROVIDED, That a mediator does not have a power of compulsion.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 10. A new section is added to chapter 41.59 RCW to read as follows:

If an agreement has not been reached following a reasonable period of negotiations and mediation, and the executive director of the commission, upon the recommendation of the assigned mediator, finds that the parties remain at impasse, then an interest arbitration panel shall be created to resolve the dispute. The issues for determination by the arbitration panel shall be limited to the issues certified by the executive director. Within seven days following the issuance of the determination of the executive director, each party shall name one person to serve as its arbitrator on the arbitration panel. The two members so appointed shall meet within seven days following the appointment of the later appointed member to attempt to choose a third member to act as the neutral chairman of the arbitration panel. Upon the failure of the arbitrators to select a neutral chairman within seven days, the two appointed members shall use one of the two following options in the appointment of the third member, who shall act as chairman of the panel: (1) By mutual consent, the two appointed members may jointly request the commission, and the commission shall appoint a third member within two days of such request. Costs of each party's appointee shall be borne by each party respectively; other costs of the arbitration proceedings shall be borne by the commission; or (2) either party may apply to the commission, the federal mediation and conciliation service, or the American Arbitration Association to provide a list of five qualified arbitrators from which the neutral chairman shall be chosen. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its arbitrator, and the fees and expenses of the neutral chairman shall be shared equally between the parties.

The arbitration panel so constituted shall promptly establish a date, time, and place for a hearing and shall provide reasonable notice thereof to the parties to the dispute. A hearing, which shall be informal, shall be held, and each party shall have the opportunity to present evidence and make argument. No member of the arbitration panel may present the case for a party to the proceedings. The rules of evidence prevailing in judicial proceedings may be considered, but are not binding, and any oral testimony or documentary evidence or other data deemed relevant by the chairman of the arbitration panel may be received in evidence. A recording of the proceedings shall be taken. The arbitration panel has the power to administer oaths, require the attendance of witnesses, and require the production of such books, papers, contracts, agreements, and documents as may be deemed by the panel to be material to a just determination of the issues in dispute. If any person refuses to obey a subpoena issued by the arbitration panel, or refuses to be sworn or to make an affirmation to testify, or any witness, party, or attorney for a party is guilty of any contempt while in attendance at any hearing held hereunder, the arbitration panel may invoke the jurisdiction of the superior court in the county where the labor dispute exists, and the court has jurisdiction to issue an appropriate order. Any failure to obey the order may be punished by the court as a contempt thereof. The hearing conducted by the arbitration panel shall be concluded within twenty-five days following the selection or designation of the neutral chairman of the arbitration panel, unless the parties agree to a longer period.

The neutral chairman shall consult with the other members of the arbitration panel, and, within thirty days following the conclusion of the hearing, the neutral chairman shall make written findings of fact and a written determination of the issues in dispute, based on the evidence presented. A copy thereof shall be served on the commission, on each of the other members of the arbitration panel, and on each of the parties to the dispute. That determination shall be final and binding upon both parties, subject to review by the superior court upon the application of either party within thirty days of its receipt solely upon the question of whether the decision of the panel was arbitrary or capricious.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 11. A new section is added to chapter 41.59 RCW to read as follows:

An interest arbitration panel created pursuant to section 10 of this act, in the performance of its duties under this chapter, exercises a state function and is, for the purposes of this chapter, a state agency. Chapter 34.05 RCW does not apply to proceedings before an interest arbitration panel under this chapter.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 12. A new section is added to chapter 41.59 RCW to read as follows:

During the pendency of the proceedings before the arbitration panel, existing wages, hours and other conditions of employment shall not be changed by action of either party without the consent of the other but a party may so consent without prejudice to his rights or position under sections 8 through 15 of this act.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 13. A new section is added to chapter 41.59 RCW to read as follows:

If the representative of either or both the educational employees and the employer refuse to submit to the procedures set forth in sections 9 and 10 of this act, the parties, or the commission on its own motion, may invoke the jurisdiction of the superior court for the county in which the labor dispute exists and such court shall have jurisdiction to issue an appropriate order. A failure to obey such order may be punished by the court as a contempt thereof. A decision of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding on the parties, and may be enforced at the instance of either party, the arbitration panel or the commission in the superior court for the county where the dispute arose.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 14. A new section is added to chapter 41.59 RCW to read as follows:

The right of educational employees to engage in any strike, work slowdown, or stoppage is not granted. Both parties to any dispute shall submit to the procedures set forth in sections 9 and 10 of this act without resort to a strike or lockout. An organization recognized as the bargaining representative that willfully disobeys a lawful order of enforcement by a superior court pursuant to section 13 of this act and this section, or willfully offers resistance to such order, whether by strike or otherwise, is in contempt of court as provided in chapter 7.21 RCW. An employer that willfully disobeys a lawful order of enforcement by a superior court pursuant to section 13 of this act or willfully offers resistance to such order is in contempt of court as provided in chapter 7.21 RCW.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 15. A new section is added to chapter 41.59 RCW to read as follows:

(1) In making its determination, the arbitration panel shall be mindful of the legislative purpose enumerated in section 8 of this act and as additional standards or guidelines to aid it in reaching a decision, shall take into consideration the following factors:

(a) The constitutional and statutory authority of the employer;

(b) Stipulations of the parties;

(d) At-risk student populations or students with special needs;

(e) The financial capability of the school district;

(f) Changes in any of the foregoing circumstances during the pendency of the proceedings; and

(g) Such other factors, not confined to the foregoing, which are normally or traditionally taken into consideration in the determination of wages, hours, and conditions of employment.

(2) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit an employer and an exclusive bargaining representative from agreeing to substitute, at their own expense, their own procedure for resolving impasses in collective bargaining for that provided in this section or from agreeing to utilize for the purposes of this section any other governmental or other agency or person in lieu of the commission.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 16. RCW 41.59.120 and 1975 1st ex.s. c 288 s 13 are each repealed."

Representative Quall yielded to a question by Representative Smith.

Representative Smith: If the supplemental contract was for instance for football which would happen at the beginning of the school year how would your amendment effect the football coach who is on strike and not coaching football during that season.

Representative Quall: The way that would effect the fall's sport you'd have to be football coach. In strikes many times fall sports do operate in the strikes. Many times they do, in other words football continues on so it they continue on they get paid. Now under my amendment they would get paid. If my amendment doesn't stand they would be out there coaching football in the fall in the rain with those kids working hard making about a buck an hour and your gonna deny them pay. But now if you pass this amendment of mine that won't happen.
