PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Thibaudeau: "A point of personal privilege, Mr. President. I have been trying to do this since last fall and I tried to do it a couple days ago, but you are too quick for me, Mr. President. I would hope that the Pages are distributing something to you. It is kind of strange, but I need to explain my reasoning about this. This is my so-called maiden floor speech--if you will--and my memento to you. Last fall, I thought of saying to you all when I voted for the baseball bill, Mariner Stadium, that I hoped, come January, that you all cared as much about kids as we all cared about baseball. I feel strongly about that.

"The second message, and I will be brief, I assure you, is that I hope that we restore some sense of enjoyment to this place. It used to be a whole lot more fun than it is right now, but I think a sense of humor is important and to paraphrase the Senator from the First District, it is important to play; it is important to enjoy each other; and enjoy the process. So, I thank you very much for the opportunity. Thanks, Mr. President."

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 42.04 RCW to read as follows:

First class and business class commercial air carrier accommodations may not be used by any state or local government officer, whether elected or appointed, and any state or local government employee who travels by commercial airlines in the discharge of the duties of his or her position or employment at public expense unless otherwise required as a reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities or where an emergency would warrant such travel. An officer or employee of a local government may be authorized to travel by business or equivalent class in cases of international travel if (1) any single leg of the trip involves a commercial airline flight of at least ten hours duration, (2) the traveler engages in official business within twelve hours of arrival at the destination, and (3) business or equivalent class travel on the particular trip is expressly authorized at a public meeting by the governing body of the local government for which the traveler is an officer or employee."

POINT OF INQUIRY

Senator Morton: "Senator Heavey, I apologize. I just got this on the desk and I am concerned about the phraseology in the middle of point No. 1 and I see it on line eighteen of your amendment here. It says, 'any single leg of the trip involves a commercial airline flight of at least ten hours duration.' Although, it says, 'any single leg,' I was on a flight one time that took me two days and I only went from here to Eastern Washington. I ended up in Montana and everywhere else and the flight number remained the same throughout the flight, however. That could be construed to be one leg, even though I ended up in Montana over night, then back in Idaho and finally back in our wonderful Evergreen State. How is that addressed here?"

Senator Heavey: "Well, I would agree with you, that would be one single leg and you could have traveled first class, if you had approval from your appropriate legislative authority."
