The sponsor or alternate sponsor must issue a decision within sixty days.
(5) The sponsor or alternate sponsor may revoke a previously approved charter before the expiration of the term of the charter, and before application for renewal, for any of the reasons specified in subsection (3) of this section.

The sponsor or alternate sponsor of a charter school shall provide for an appeal process upon a determination by the sponsor or alternate sponsor that grounds exist to revoke a charter.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 15. FUNDING. (1) When the sponsor is a school district:
(a) For purposes of funding, students in charter schools shall be considered students of the sponsoring district for general fund apportionment purposes. The sponsoring school district shall provide funding for charter schools on a per student basis in amounts the schools would have received if the students were enrolled in a noncharter school in the district except that a charter school shall not generate eligibility for small school assistance. Funding for charter schools shall include regular apportionment, categorical, nonbasic education, and maintenance and operating levy funds, as appropriate;
(b) No local levy moneys approved by the voters before the effective date of a charter between a school district and an applicant may be allocated to a charter school unless the sponsoring school district determines it has received sufficient authority from voters to allocate maintenance and operation excess tax levy money to the charter school. For levies approved after the effective date of a charter, charter schools shall be included in levy planning, budgets, and funding distribution in the same manner as other schools in the district; and
(c) A charter school is eligible for state matching funds for common school construction if a sponsoring school district determines it has received voter approval of local capital funds for the project.

Except for the administration fee in this section, no other offsets or deductions are allowed, whether for central administration or other off-site support services, from a charter school's per-pupil share of state appropriations, local levies, or other funds, unless the charter school has contracted with a school district to obtain specific additional services.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 17. CHARTER SCHOOL LOAN ACCOUNT. (1) The charter school loan account is created in the custody of the state treasurer.

Charter schools may receive up to two hundred fifty dollars per student for start-up costs. Only the superintendent of public instruction or the superintendent's designee may authorize expenditures from the account. The account is subject to allotment procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but no appropriation is required for expenditures.
(2) Start-up moneys shall be distributed to schools with approved charters on a first-come, first-served basis. The charter school must repay the loan within five years. Interest shall be fixed at one-half percentage point above the United States thirty-year treasury bill rate in effect at the time of the loan.

(3) Neither a school district nor an alternate sponsor may sponsor a charter school in a school district with a student enrollment of less than one thousand students until June 1, 2000.
(4) For purposes of monitoring compliance with this section and providing information to new charter school applicants, the superintendent of public instruction shall maintain a running total of the projected and actual enrollment at charter schools and the number of charters granted.
(5) For purposes of implementing this subsection, a sponsor or alternate sponsor shall notify the office of the superintendent of public instruction when it receives a charter school application, when it approves a charter school, and when a charter school is terminated. Once fifty charter schools are approved, the office of the superintendent of public instruction shall notify all school districts and potential alternate sponsors. The office of the superintendent of public instruction shall notify all school districts and potential alternate sponsors when additional charter schools may be approved due to charter school contract terminations.

(5) The department or the attorney general may extend, by not more than thirty days, any deadline established under this chapter one time during consideration of any application, for good cause.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 7. The department shall only approve an application if the parties to the acquisition have taken the proper steps to safeguard the value of charitable assets and ensure that any proceeds from the acquisition are used for appropriate charitable health purposes. To this end, the department may not approve an application unless, at a minimum, it determines that:
(1) The acquisition is permitted under chapter 24.03 RCW, the Washington nonprofit corporation act, and other laws governing nonprofit entities, trusts, or charities;
(2) The nonprofit corporation that owns the hospital being acquired has exercised due diligence in authorizing the acquisition, selecting the acquiring person, and negotiating the terms and conditions of the acquisition;

(6) Charitable funds will not be placed at unreasonable risk, if the acquisition is financed in part by the nonprofit corporation;
(7) Any management contract under the acquisition will be for fair market value;

If after the hearing the department determines that the information is true, it may revoke or suspend the hospital license issued to the acquiring person pursuant to the procedure established under RCW 70.41.130, refer the matter to the attorney general for appropriate action, or both.

If a public hospital district chooses to contract or join with another party or parties pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, it may do so through the establishment of a nonprofit corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other legal entity of its choosing in which the public hospital district and the other party or parties participate. The governing body of such legal entity shall include representatives of the public hospital district, including members of the public hospital district's board of commissioners.

SB 5340 Prime Sponsor, Senator Hochstatter: Changing probation provisions for certificated educational employees. Reported by Committee on Education
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 28A.405.100 and 1994 c 115 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The superintendent of public instruction shall establish and may amend from time to time minimum criteria for the evaluation of the professional performance capabilities and development of certificated classroom teachers and certificated support personnel. For classroom teachers the criteria shall be developed in the following categories: Instructional skill; classroom management, professional preparation and scholarship; effort toward improvement when needed; the handling of student discipline and attendant problems; and interest in teaching pupils and knowledge of subject matter.
Every board of directors shall, in accordance with procedure provided in RCW 41.59.010 through 41.59.170, 41.59.910 and 41.59.920, establish evaluative criteria and procedures for all certificated classroom teachers and certificated support personnel. The evaluative criteria must contain as a minimum the criteria established by the superintendent of public instruction pursuant to this section and must be prepared within six months following adoption of the superintendent of public instruction's minimum criteria. The district must certify to the superintendent of public instruction that evaluative criteria have been so prepared by the district.
Except as provided in subsection (5) of this section, it shall be the responsibility of a principal or his or her designee to evaluate all certificated personnel in his or her school. During each school year all classroom teachers and certificated support personnel, hereinafter referred to as "employees" in this section, shall be observed for the purposes of evaluation at least twice in the performance of their assigned duties. Total observation time for each employee for each school year shall be not less than sixty minutes. Following each observation, or series of observations, the principal or other evaluator shall promptly document the results of the observation in writing, and shall provide the employee with a copy thereof within three days after such report is prepared. New employees shall be observed at least once for a total observation time of thirty minutes during the first ninety calendar days of their employment period.
((Every)) At any time after October 15th, an employee whose work is judged unsatisfactory based on district evaluation criteria shall be notified in writing of ((stated)) the specific areas of deficiencies along with a ((suggested specific and)) reasonable program for improvement ((on or before February 1st of each year)). During the period of probation, the employee may not be transferred from the supervision of the original evaluator. Improvement of performance or probable cause for nonrenewal must occur and be documented by the original evaluator before any consideration of a request for transfer or reassignment as contemplated by either the individual or the school district. A probationary period of sixty school days shall be established ((beginning on or before February 1st and ending no later than May 1st)). The establishment of a probationary period does not adversely affect the contract status of an employee within the meaning of RCW 28A.405.300. The purpose of the probationary period is to give the employee opportunity to demonstrate improvements in his or her areas of deficiency. The establishment of the probationary period and the giving of the notice to the employee of deficiency shall be by the school district superintendent and need not be submitted to the board of directors for approval. During the probationary period the evaluator shall meet with the employee at least twice monthly to supervise and make a written evaluation of the progress, if any, made by the employee. The evaluator may authorize one additional certificated employee to evaluate the probationer and to aid the employee in improving his or her areas of deficiency; such additional certificated employee shall be immune from any civil liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed with regard to the good faith performance of such evaluation. The probationer may be removed from probation if he or she has demonstrated improvement to the satisfaction of the principal in those areas specifically detailed in his or her initial notice of deficiency and subsequently detailed in his or her improvement program. Lack of necessary improvement ((shall be)) during the established probationary period, as specifically documented in writing with notification to the probationer and shall constitute grounds for a finding of probable cause under RCW 28A.405.300 or 28A.405.210.
((The establishment of a probationary period shall not be deemed to adversely affect the contract status of an employee within the meaning of RCW 28A.405.300.))
Immediately following the completion of a probationary period that does not produce performance changes detailed in the initial notice of deficiencies and improvement program, the employee may be removed from his or her assignment and placed into an alternative assignment for the remainder of the school year. This reassignment may not displace another employee nor may it adversely affect the probationary employee's compensation or benefits for the remainder of the employee's contract year. If such reassignment is not possible, the district may, at its option, place the employee on paid leave for the balance of the contract term.
(2) Every board of directors shall establish evaluative criteria and procedures for all superintendents, principals, and other administrators. It shall be the responsibility of the district superintendent or his or her designee to evaluate all administrators. Such evaluation shall be based on the administrative position job description. Such criteria, when applicable, shall include at least the following categories: Knowledge of, experience in, and training in recognizing good professional performance, capabilities and development; school administration and management; school finance; professional preparation and scholarship; effort toward improvement when needed; interest in pupils, employees, patrons and subjects taught in school; leadership; and ability and performance of evaluation of school personnel.
(3) Each certificated employee shall have the opportunity for confidential conferences with his or her immediate supervisor on no less than two occasions in each school year. Such confidential conference shall have as its sole purpose the aiding of the administrator in his or her assessment of the employee's professional performance.
(4) The failure of any evaluator to evaluate or supervise or cause the evaluation or supervision of certificated employees or administrators in accordance with this section, as now or hereafter amended, when it is his or her specific assigned or delegated responsibility to do so, shall be sufficient cause for the nonrenewal of any such evaluator's contract under RCW 28A.405.210, or the discharge of such evaluator under RCW 28A.405.300.
(5) After an employee has four years of satisfactory evaluations under subsection (1) of this section, a school district may use a short form of evaluation, a locally bargained evaluation emphasizing professional growth, an evaluation under subsection (1) of this section, or any combination thereof. The short form of evaluation shall include either a thirty minute observation during the school year with a written summary or a final annual written evaluation based on the criteria in subsection (1) of this section and based on at least two observation periods during the school year totaling at least sixty minutes without a written summary of such observations being prepared. However, the evaluation process set forth in subsection (1) of this section shall be followed at least once every three years unless this time is extended by a local school district under the bargaining process set forth in chapter 41.59 RCW. The employee or evaluator may require that the evaluation process set forth in subsection (1) of this section be conducted in any given school year. No evaluation other than the evaluation authorized under subsection (1) of this section may be used as a basis for determining that an employee's work is unsatisfactory under subsection (1) of this section or as probable cause for the nonrenewal of an employee's contract under RCW 28A.405.210 unless an evaluation process developed under chapter 41.59 RCW determines otherwise."

For the purpose of facilitating economic development in the state of Washington and encouraging the employment of Washington workers at meaningful wages:

(2) Consistent with the policy as established in subsection (1) of this section, the general manager of the Washington State Ferries may approve agreements for the chartering of Washington State Ferry vessels to groups or individuals, including hazardous material transporters, in accordance with the following:
(a) Vessels may be committed to charter only when established route operation and normal user requirements are not disrupted or inconvenienced. If a vessel is engaged in the transport of hazardous materials, the transporter shall pay for all legs necessary to complete the charter, even if the vessel is simultaneously engaged in an operational voyage on behalf of Washington state ferries.
(b) Charter rates for vessels must be established at actual vessel operating costs plus fifty percent of such actual costs rounded to the nearest fifty dollars. Actual vessel operating costs include, but are not limited to, all labor, fuel, and vessel maintenance costs incurred due to the charter agreement, including deadheading and standby.
(c) Recognizing the need for stabilized charter rates in order to encourage use of vessels, rates must be established and revised July 1st of each year and must remain fixed for a one-year period unless actual vessel operating costs increase five percent or more within that year, in which case the charter rates must be revised in accordance with (b) of this subsection.
(d) All charter agreements must be in writing and substantially in the form of (e) of this subsection and available, with calculations, for inspection by the legislature and the public.
(e) Parties chartering Washington State Ferry vessels shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations during the charter voyage, and failure to so comply is cause for immediate termination of the charter voyage.
"CHARTER CRUISE AGREEMENT
On this . . . . day of . . . ., . . . ., Washington State Ferries (WSF) and . . . . ., hereinafter called Lessee, enter into this agreement for rental of a ferry vessel for the purpose of a charter voyage to be held on . . . . ., the parties agree as follows:
1. WSF agrees to supply the vessel . . . . . (subject to change) for the use of the Lessee from the period from . . . . . to . . . . . on . . . . . (date).
2. The maximum number of passengers; or in the case of hazardous materials transports, trucks and trailers; that will be accommodated on the assigned vessel is . . . . .. This number MAY NOT be exceeded.
3. The voyage will originate at . . . . ., and the route of travel during the voyage will be as follows:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
4. The charge for the above voyage is . . . . . dollars ($ . . .) plus a property damage deposit of $350 for a total price of $ . . . ., to be paid by cashier's check three working days before the date of the voyage at the offices of the WSF at Seattle Ferry Terminal, Pier 52, Seattle, Washington, 98104. The Lessee remains responsible for property damage in excess of $350.
5. WSF is responsible only for the navigational operation of the chartered ferry and in no way is responsible for directing voyage activities, providing equipment, or any food service.
6. Other than for hazardous materials transport, the voyage activities must be conducted exclusively on the passenger decks of the assigned ferry. Voyage patrons will not be permitted to enter the pilot house or the engine room, nor shall the vehicle decks be used for any purpose other than loading or unloading of voyage patrons or hazardous materials.
7. If the Lessee or any of the voyage patrons will possess or consume alcoholic beverages aboard the vessel, the Lessee must obtain the appropriate licenses or permits from the Washington State Liquor Control Board. The Lessee must furnish copies of any necessary licenses or permits to WSF at the same time payment for the voyage is made. Failure to comply with applicable laws, rules, and regulations of appropriate State and Federal agencies is cause for immediate termination of the voyage, and WSF shall retain all payments made as liquidated damages.
8. WSF is not obligated to provide shoreside parking for the vehicles belonging to voyage patrons.
9. The Lessee recognizes that the primary function of the WSF is for the cross-Sound transportation of the public and the maintaining of the existing schedule. The Lessee recognizes therefore the right of WSF to cancel a voyage commitment without liability to the Lessee due to unforeseen circumstances or events that require the use of the chartered vessel on its scheduled route operations. In the event of such a cancellation, WSF agrees to refund the entire amount of the charter fee to the Lessee.
10. The Lessee agrees to hold WSF harmless from, and shall process and defend at its own expense, all claims, demands, or suits at law or equity, of whatever nature brought against WSF arising in whole or in part from the performance of provisions of this agreement. This indemnity provision does not require the Lessee to defend or indemnify WSF against any action based solely on the alleged negligence of WSF.
11. This writing is the full agreement between the parties.

(2) The original of the report shall be immediately forwarded by the authority receiving the report to the chief of the Washington state patrol at Olympia, Washington. The Washington state patrol shall give the department of licensing full access to the report.

For this purpose, the chief of the Washington state patrol shall prepare and, upon request, supply to any police department, coroner, sheriff, and any other suitable agency or individual, sample forms of accident reports required hereunder, which reports shall be upon a form devised by the chief of the Washington state patrol and shall call for sufficiently detailed information to disclose all material facts with reference to the accident to be reported thereon, including the location, the ((cause)) circumstances, the conditions then existing, the persons and vehicles involved, the insurance information required under RCW 46.30.030, personal injury or death, if any, the amounts of property damage claimed, the total number of vehicles involved, whether the vehicles were legally parked, legally standing, or moving, and whether such vehicles were occupied at the time of the accident.

ESSB 5762 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Commerce & Labor: Benefitting the equine industry. Reported by Committee on Trade & Economic Development
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that Washington's equine racing industry creates economic, environmental, and recreational impacts across the state affecting agriculture, horse breeding, the horse training industry, agricultural fairs and youth programs, and tourism and employment opportunities. The Washington equine industry has incurred a financial decline coinciding with increased competition from the gaming industry in the state and from the lack of a class 1 racing facility in western Washington from 1993 through 1995. This act is necessary to preserve, restore, and revitalize the equine breeding and racing industries and to preserve in Washington the economic and social impacts associated with these industries. Preserving Washington's equine breeding and racing industries, and in particular those sectors of the industries that are dependent upon live horse racing, is in the public interest of the state. The purpose of this act is to preserve Washington's equine breeding and racing industries and to protect these industries from adverse economic impacts. This act does not establish a new form of gaming in Washington or allow expanded gaming within the state beyond what has been previously authorized. Simulcast wagering has been allowed in Washington before the effective date of this act. Therefore, this act does not allow gaming of any nature or scope that was prohibited before the effective date of this act.
Sec. 2. RCW 67.16.050 and 1985 c 146 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
Every person making application for license to hold a race meet, under the provisions of this chapter shall file an application with the commission which shall set forth the time, the place, the number of days such meet will continue, and such other information as the commission may require. The commission shall be the sole judge of whether or not the race meet shall be licensed and the number of days the meet shall continue.

The license shall specify the number of days the race meet shall continue and the number of races per day, which shall ((be)) include not less than six nor more than eleven live races per day, and for which a fee shall be paid daily in advance of five hundred dollars for each live race day for those ((meets)) licensees which had gross receipts from parimutuel machines in excess of fifty million dollars in the previous year and two hundred dollars for each day for meets which had gross receipts from parimutuel machines at or below fifty million dollars in the previous year; in addition any newly authorized live race meets shall pay two hundred dollars per day for the first year: PROVIDED, That if unforeseen obstacles arise, which prevent the holding, or completion of any race meet, the license fee for the meet, or for a portion which cannot be held may be refunded the licensee, if the commission deems the reasons for failure to hold or complete the race meet sufficient. Any unexpired license held by any person who violates any of the provisions of this chapter, or any of the rules or regulations of the commission made pursuant thereto, or who fails to pay to the commission any and all sums required under the provisions of this chapter, shall be subject to cancellation and revocation by the commission. Such cancellation shall be made only after a summary hearing before the commission, of which three days' notice, in writing, shall be given the licensee, specifying the grounds for the proposed cancellation, and at which hearing the licensee shall be given an opportunity to be heard in opposition to the proposed cancellation.
Sec. 3. RCW 67.16.105 and 1995 c 173 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Licensees of race meets that are nonprofit in nature, are of ten days or less, and have an average daily handle of one hundred twenty thousand dollars or less shall withhold and pay to the commission daily for each authorized day of racing one-half percent of the daily gross receipts from all parimutuel machines at each race meet.
(2) Licensees ((of race meets)) that do not fall under subsection (1) of this section shall withhold and pay to the commission ((daily for each authorized day of racing)) the following applicable percentage of all daily gross receipts from ((all)) its in-state parimutuel machines ((at each race meet)):
(a) If the daily gross receipts of all its in-state parimutuel machines are more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars, the licensee shall withhold and pay to the commission daily two and one-half percent of the daily gross receipts; and
(b) If the daily gross receipts of all its in-state 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.
(3) In addition to those amounts in subsections (1) and (2) of this section, ((all)) a licensee((s)) shall forward one-tenth of one percent of the daily gross receipts of all its in-state 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 licensee((s. 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.
(((4) In addition to those sums paid to the commission in subsection (2) of this section, licensees who are nonprofit corporations and have race meets of thirty days or more shall retain and dedicate: (a) An amount equal to one and one-quarter percent of the daily gross receipts of all parimutuel machines at each race meet to be used solely for the purpose of increasing purses; and (b) an amount equal to one and one-quarter percent of the daily gross receipts of all parimutuel machines at each race meet to be deposited in an escrow or trust account and used solely for construction of a new thoroughbred race track facility in western Washington. Said percentages shall come from that amount the licensee is authorized to retain under RCW 67.16.170(2). The commission shall adopt such rules as may be necessary to enforce this subsection.
(5) In the event the new race track is not constructed before January 1, 2001, all funds including interest, remaining in the escrow or trust account established in subsection (4) of this section, shall revert to the state general fund.))
Sec. 4. RCW 67.16.200 and 1991 c 270 s 10 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) A racing association licensed by the commission to conduct a race meet may seek approval from the commission to conduct parimutuel wagering on its program at a satellite location or locations within the state of Washington. The sale of parimutuel pools at satellite locations shall be conducted only during the licensee's race meet and simultaneous to all parimutuel wagering activity conducted at the licensee's live racing facility in the state of Washington. The commission's authority to approve satellite wagering at a particular location is subject to the following limitations:
(a) The commission may approve only one satellite location in each county in the state; however, the commission may grant approval for more than one licensee to conduct wagering at each satellite location((.
(b) The commission shall not allow a licensee to conduct satellite wagering at a satellite location within twenty ground miles of the licensee's racing facility. For purposes of this section, "ground miles" means miles measured from point to point in a straight line.
(c)(i) The commission may allow a licensee to conduct satellite wagering at a satellite location within fifty ground miles of the racing facility of another licensee who conducts race meets of thirty days or more, but only if the satellite location is the racing facility of another licensee who conducts race meets of thirty days or more and only if the licensee seeking to conduct satellite wagering suspends its program during the conduct of the meets of all licensees within fifty ground miles; except that the commission may allow a licensee that conducts satellite wagering at another track, pursuant to this subsection, to use other satellite locations, used by that track with the approval of the owner of that track, even though those satellite locations are within a fifty ground mile radius.
(ii) Subject to subsection (1)(c)(i) of this section, the commission may allow a licensee to conduct satellite wagering at a satellite location within fifty ground miles of the racing facility of another licensee who conducts race meets of under thirty days, but only if the licensee seeking to conduct satellite wagering suspends its satellite program during the conduct of the meets of all licensees within fifty ground miles)). A satellite location shall not be operated within twenty driving miles of any class 1 racing facility. For the purposes of this section, "driving miles" means miles measured by the most direct route as determined by the commission; and
(b) A licensee shall not conduct satellite wagering at any satellite location within sixty driving miles of any other racing facility conducting a live race meet.
(2) Subject to local zoning and other land use ordinances, the commission shall be the sole judge of whether approval to conduct wagering at a satellite location shall be granted.
(3) The licensee shall combine the parimutuel pools of the satellite location with those of the racing facility for the purpose of determining odds and computing payoffs. The amount wagered at the satellite location shall be combined with the amount wagered at the racing facility for the application of take out formulas and distribution as provided in RCW 67.16.102, 67.16.105, 67.16.170, and 67.16.175. A satellite extension of the licensee's racing facility shall be subject to the same application of the rules of racing as the licensee's racing facility.
(4) Upon written application to the commission, a class 1 racing association may be authorized to transmit simulcasts of live horse races conducted at its racetrack to locations outside of the state of Washington approved by the commission and in accordance with the interstate horse racing act of 1978 (15 U.S.C. Sec. 3001 to 3007) or any other applicable laws. The commission may permit parimutuel pools on the simulcast races to be combined in a common pool. A racing association that transmits simulcasts of its races to locations outside this state shall pay at least fifty percent of the fee that it receives for sale of the simulcast signal to the horsemen's purse account for its live races after first deducting the actual cost of sending the signal out of state.
(5) Upon written application to the commission, a class 1 racing association may be authorized to transmit simulcasts of live horse races conducted at its racetrack to licensed racing associations located within the state of Washington and approved by the commission for the receipt of the simulcasts. The commission shall permit parimutuel pools on the simulcast races to be combined in a common pool. The fee for in-state, track-to-track simulcasts shall be five and one-half percent of the gross parimutuel receipts generated at the receiving location and payable to the sending racing association. A racing association that transmits simulcasts of its races to other licensed racing associations shall pay at least fifty percent of the fee that it receives for the simulcast signal to the horsemen's purse account for its live race meet after first deducting the actual cost of sending the simulcast signal. A racing association that receives races simulcast from class 1 racing associations within the state shall pay at least fifty percent of its share of the parimutuel receipts to the horsemen's purse account for its live race meet after first deducting the purchase price and the actual direct costs of importing the race.
(6) A class 1 racing association may be allowed to import simulcasts of horse races from out-of-state racing facilities. With the prior approval of the commission, the class 1 racing association may participate in an interstate common pool and may change its commission and breakage rates to achieve a common rate with other participants in the common pool.
(a) The class 1 racing association shall make written application with the commission for permission to import simulcast horse races for the purpose of parimutuel wagering. Subject to the terms of this section, the commission is the sole authority in determining whether to grant approval for an imported simulcast race.
(b) During the conduct of its race meeting, a class 1 racing association may be allowed to import no more than one simulcast race card program during each live race day. A licensed racing association may also be approved to import one simulcast race of regional or national interest on each live race day. A class 1 racing association may be permitted to import two simulcast programs on two nonlive race days per each week during its live meet. A licensee shall not operate parimutuel wagering on more than five days per week. Parimutuel wagering on imported simulcast programs shall only be conducted at the live racing facility of a class 1 racing association.
(c) The commission may allow simulcast races of regional or national interest to be sent to satellite locations. The simulcasts shall be limited to one per day except for Breeder's Cup special events day.
(d) When open for parimutuel wagering, a class 1 racing association which imports simulcast races shall also conduct simulcast parimutuel wagering within its licensed racing enclosure on all races simulcast from other class 1 racing associations within the state of Washington.
(e) When not conducting a live race meeting, a class 1 racing association may be approved to conduct simulcast parimutuel wagering on imported simulcast races. The conduct of simulcast parimutuel wagering on the simulcast races shall be for not more than twelve hours during any twenty-four hour period, for not more than five days per week and only at its live racing facility.
(f) On any imported simulcast race, the class 1 racing association shall pay fifty percent of its share of the parimutuel receipts to the horsemen's purse account for its live race meet after first deducting the purchase price of the imported race and the actual costs of importing the race.
(7) For purposes of this section, a class 1 racing association is defined as a licensee approved by the commission which conducts during each twelve-month period at least forty days of live racing within four successive calendar months. The commission may by rule increase the number of live racing days required to maintain class 1 racing association status.
(8) This section does not establish a new form of gaming in Washington or allow expanded gaming within the state beyond what has been previously authorized. Simulcast wagering has been allowed in Washington before the effective date of this act. Therefore, this section does not allow gaming of any nature or scope that was prohibited before the effective date of this act. This section is necessary to protect the Washington equine breeding and racing industries, and in particular those sectors of these industries that are dependent upon live horse racing. The purpose of this section is to protect these industries from adverse economic impacts and to promote fan attendance at class 1 racing facilities. Therefore, imported simulcast race card programs shall not be disseminated to any location outside the live racing facility of the class 1 racing association and a class 1 racing association is strictly prohibited from simulcasting imported race card programs to any location outside its live racing facility.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. The following acts or parts of acts are each repealed:

MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 51.44.170 and 1991 sp.s. c 13 s 29 are each amended to read as follows:
The industrial insurance premium refund account is created in the custody of the state((treasury)) treasurer. All industrial insurance refunds earned by state agencies or institutions of higher education under the state fund retrospective rating program shall be deposited into the account. ((Moneys in the account may be spent only after appropriation)) The account is subject to the allotment procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but no appropriation is required for expenditures from the account. Only the executive head of the agency or institution of higher education, or designee, may authorize expenditures from the account. No agency or institution of higher education may ((receive an appropriation)) make an expenditure from the account for an amount greater than the refund earned by the agency. If the agency or institution of higher education has staff dedicated to workers' compensation claims management, expenditures from the account must be used to pay for that staff, but additional expenditure from the account may be used for any program within an agency or institution of higher education((, but preference shall be given to programs)) that promotes or provides incentives for employee workplace safety and health and early, appropriate return-to-work for injured employees.
Sec. 2. 1990 c 204 s 1 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
The legislature finds that workplace safety in state employment is of paramount importance in maintaining a productive and committed state work force. The legislature also finds that recognition in state agencies and institutions of higher education of industrial insurance programs that provide safe working environments and promote early return-to-work for injured employees will encourage agencies and institutions of higher education to develop these programs. A purpose of this act is to provide incentives for agencies and institutions of higher education to participate in industrial insurance safety programs and return-to-work programs by authorizing use of the industrial insurance premium refunds earned by agencies or institutions of higher education participating in industrial insurance retrospective rating programs. Since agency and institution of higher education retrospective rating refunds are generated from safety performance and cannot be set at predictable levels determined by the budget process, the incentive awards should not impact an agency's or institution of higher education's legislatively approved budget."

(4) The legislature finds that, since the inception of the Washington wildlife and recreation program, over eighty-five percent of the moneys provided for the state parks category has been used for acquisition of property, and that demands for recreational facilities in state parks require that increased funding be devoted to development projects. The committee and the state parks and recreation commission shall ensure that at least forty percent of new funding provided for the state parks category during the 1997-99 biennium be allocated to development projects.
(5) $4,000,000 of the habitat conservation account appropriation from the unallocated portion of the fund distribution under RCW 43.98A.040(1)(d) is provided solely for matching grants for riparian zone habitat protection projects that implement watershed plans pursuant to this subsection.

Projects shall have a useful life of at least thirty years. Eligible agencies include conservation districts, counties, cities, and private nonprofit land trust or nature conservancy organizations. Projects eligible for funding under this section include acquisition of land using less-than-fee-simple instruments such as conservation easements and purchase of development rights; and habitat restoration and enhancement projects on such lands including fencing and revegetation of native trees and shrubs that enhance the long-term habitat values of protected lands. The committee shall develop an application process and project eligibility and evaluation criteria in consultation with the state conservation commission. The committee shall report to the appropriate committees of the legislature on the implementation of the pilot matching grant program. A preliminary status report shall be submitted by January 1, 1998, and a final report by January 1, 1999.
(6) Up to $400,000 of the reappropriations in this section is provided to develop an inventory of all lands in the state owned by federal agencies, state agencies, local governments, and Indian tribes.

The inventory shall also include resource-based information for state and federally-owned recreation and habitat lands. The committee shall submit a status report on the inventory to the appropriate committees of the legislature by January 1, 1999, and a final report by January 1, 2000.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 704. The amounts shown under the headings "Prior Biennia," "Future Biennia," and "Total" in this act are for informational purposes only and do not constitute legislative approval of these amounts.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 705.

State agencies receiving appropriations from this act and from Senate Bill No. 5562 or Senate Bill No. 6091 (transportation budget) for land acquisition and environmental mitigation activities shall, to the extent feasible, coordinate those acquisitions and mitigation activities. When cost-effective and ecologically beneficial, the acquisition and development of environmental mitigation sites and activities, including but not limited to wetland banks and advance mitigation, should be provided in a manner that benefits both the department of transportation sites and activities and other agency sites and activities. The coordination of environmental mitigation shall also take into consideration the acquisitions and activities of local watershed groups. The coordination of environmental mitigation sites and activities is intended to improve ecological benefits gained from state expenditures, provide greater emphasis on shared natural resource management, and increase mitigation credit opportunities for the department of transportation. The activities of this section shall be carried out in a manner consistent with recommendations developed by a work group consisting of state agencies with substantial environmental mitigation related responsibilities. The office of financial management shall report to the fiscal committees of the senate and house of representatives and to the legislative transportation committee by December 1, 1998, on the results of the coordination of these environmental mitigation activities and make recommendations to further improve the coordination among state agencies to achieve better cost-efficiencies and ecological benefits.

(3) If, within thirty days after a commercial property casualty form has been filed, the commissioner finds that the form does not meet the requirements of this chapter, the commissioner shall disapprove the form and give notice to the insurer or rating organization that made the filing, specifying how the form fails to meet the requirements and stating when, within a reasonable period thereafter, the form shall be deemed no longer effective. The commissioner may extend the time for review another fifteen days by giving notice to the insurer prior to the expiration of the original thirty-day period.
(4) Upon a final determination of a disapproval of a policy form under subsection (3) of this section, the insurer shall amend any previously issued disapproved form by endorsement to comply with the commissioner’s disapproval.
(5) For purposes of this section, "commercial property casualty" means insurance pertaining to a business, profession, or occupation for the lines of property and casualty insurance defined in RCW 48.11.040, 48.11.050, 48.11.060, or 48.11.070.
(6) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, the disapproval shall not affect any contract made or issued prior to the expiration of the period set forth in the notice of disapproval.
(7) In the event a hearing is held on the actions of the commissioner under subsection (3) of this section, the burden of proof shall be on the commissioner.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 48.19 RCW to read as follows:
(1) It is the intent of the legislature to assist the purchasers of commercial property casualty insurance by allowing policies to be issued more expeditiously and provide a more competitive market for rates.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of RCW 48.19.040(1), commercial property casualty policies may be issued prior to filing the rates. All commercial property casualty rates shall be filed with the commissioner within thirty days after an insurer issues any policy using them.
(3) If, within thirty days after a commercial property casualty rate has been filed, the commissioner finds that the rate does not meet the requirements of this chapter, the commissioner shall disapprove the filing and give notice to the insurer or rating organization that made the filing, specifying how the filing fails to meet the requirements and stating when, within a reasonable period thereafter, the filing shall be deemed no longer effective.

This section shall not apply to policies, riders or endorsements of unique character designed for and used with relation to insurance upon a particular subject.
(2) Every such filing containing a certification, in a form approved by the commissioner, by either the chief executive officer of the insurer or by an actuary who is a member of the American academy of actuaries, attesting that the filing complies with Title 48 RCW and Title 284 of the Washington Administrative Code, may be used by such insurer immediately after filing with the commissioner. The commissioner may order an insurer to cease using a certified form upon the grounds set forth in RCW 48.18.110. This subsection shall not apply to certain types of policy forms designated by the commissioner by rule.
(3) Except as provided in section 1 of this act, every filing that does not contain a certification pursuant to subsection (2) of this section shall be made not less than thirty days in advance of any such issuance, delivery, or use.

At the expiration of any such period as so extended, and in the absence of such prior affirmative approval or disapproval, any such form shall be deemed approved. The commissioner may withdraw any such approval at any time for cause.

(5) No such form shall knowingly be so issued or delivered as to which the commissioner's approval does not then exist.
(6) The commissioner may, by order, exempt from the requirements of this section for so long as he or she deems proper, any insurance document or form or type thereof as specified in such order, to which in his or her opinion this section may not practicably be applied, or the filing and approval of which are, in his or her opinion, not desirable or necessary for the protection of the public.
(7) Every member or subscriber to a rating organization shall adhere to the form filings made on its behalf by the organization. Deviations from such organization are permitted only when filed with the commissioner in accordance with this chapter.
Sec. 4. RCW 48.19.060 and 1989 c 25 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The commissioner shall review a filing as soon as reasonably possible after made, to determine whether it meets the requirements of this chapter.
(2) Except as provided in RCW 48.19.070 and section 2 of this act:
(a) No such filing shall become effective within thirty days after the date of filing with the commissioner, which period may be extended by the commissioner for an additional period not to exceed fifteen days if he or she gives notice within such waiting period to the insurer or rating organization which made the filing that he or she needs such additional time for the consideration of the filing. The commissioner may, upon application and for cause shown, waive such waiting period or part thereof as to a filing that he or she has not disapproved.
(b) A filing shall be deemed to meet the requirements of this chapter unless disapproved by the commissioner within the waiting period or any extension thereof."

ESB 5086 Prime Sponsor, Senator Roach: Prohibiting mandatory child support for postsecondary education of adult children. Reported by Committee on Law & Justice
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 26.19.090 and 1991 sp.s. c 28 s 7 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The child support schedule shall ((be advisory and not mandatory for)) not apply to awards of postsecondary educational support.
(2) The court shall not order either or both parents to pay postsecondary educational support if both parents agree not to pay postsecondary educational expenses. The court may not enter an initial order of child support if the child is no longer dependent before the petition is filed.
(3) When considering whether to order support for postsecondary educational expenses, the court shall determine whether the child is in fact dependent and is relying upon the parents for the reasonable necessities of life. Except as limited in subsections (4) and (5) of this section, the court shall exercise its discretion when determining whether and for how long to award postsecondary educational support based upon consideration of factors that include but are not limited to the following: Age of the child; the child's needs; the expectations of the parties for their children when the parents were together; the child's prospects, desires, aptitudes, abilities or disabilities; the nature of the postsecondary education sought; and the parents' level of education, standard of living, and current and future resources. Also to be considered are the amount and type of support that the child would have been afforded if the parents had stayed together. If the parents have other children who are dependent upon the parents for support, the court shall ensure that adequate provision is made for such children in determining whether and for how long to award postsecondary support.
(((3))) (4) Unless the parents have entered into an agreement otherwise, postsecondary educational support shall not be awarded beyond the child's twenty-third birthday; beyond the child's completion of a four-year undergraduate college degree program; or during periods of nonenrollment. Regularly scheduled summer and vacation breaks are not periods of nonenrollment.
(5)(a) Postsecondary educational support shall not be awarded for amounts in excess of the highest cost at a Washington state public university for resident students for: (i) Tuition; (ii) books, fees, education supplies; and (iii) dormitory room and board when the child will actually incur dormitory room and board expenses.
(b) This subsection shall not apply when: (i) Parents have agreed to exceed these costs; or (ii) the child wishes to attend a private postsecondary educational institution, and the parents have agreed that the child should attend a private postsecondary educational institution, or either or both parents attended private postsecondary educational institutions, and either or both parents have the financial capability to pay for a private postsecondary education.
(6) The student shall have an affirmative obligation to seek financial aid through the postsecondary educational institution. The court shall consider any aid obtained in determining the parents' support obligation.
(7) The amount of support established may be apportioned between the parents on the basis of net income in the same manner as if the child was under age eighteen and receiving child support under this chapter.
(8) The court may adjust support for earnings of a child in excess of the amount necessary to support the child during periods of nonenrollment. The court may require the child to contribute financially to his or her educational expenses and support commensurate with the child's abilities and academic schedule.
(9) The court may order the child to notify each parent paying postsecondary educational support in writing regarding the child's academic plans, progress, and changes in academic schedule.
(10) Upon finding that the child willfully failed to provide the information required under subsection (12) of this section, the court may terminate or suspend support.
(11) The child must enroll in an accredited academic or vocational school, must be actively pursuing a course of study commensurate with the child's vocational goals, and must be in good academic standing as defined by the institution. The court-ordered postsecondary educational support shall be automatically suspended during the period or periods the child fails to comply with these conditions. For purposes of this subsection, "actively pursuing a course of study" means that the child completes the period of enrollment for which the parents have paid support. If the child fails for whatever reason to complete the academic period, the parents shall have no obligation to resume payment of support until the child has made up the incomplete period.
(((4))) (12) The child shall also make available all academic records and grades to both parents as a condition of receiving postsecondary educational support. Each parent shall have full and equal access to the postsecondary education records as provided in RCW 26.09.225.
(((5) The court shall not order the payment of postsecondary educational expenses beyond the child's twenty-third birthday, except for exceptional circumstances, such as mental, physical, or emotional disabilities.
(6))) (13) The court shall direct that either or both parents' payments for postsecondary educational expenses be made directly to the educational institution if feasible. If direct payments are not feasible, then the court in its discretion may order that either or both parents' payments be made directly to the child if the child does not reside with either parent. If the child resides with one of the parents the court may direct that the parent making the support transfer payments make the payments to the child or to the parent who has been receiving the support transfer payments.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. This act applies prospectively only and not retroactively. It applies only to causes of action that are commenced on or after the effective date of this act."

2SSB 5120 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Ways & Means: Providing for fish enhancement with remote site incubators. Reported by Committee on Natural Resources
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that trout and salmon population levels are greatly below the carrying capacity of many state waters, and that reintroduction of both trout and salmon can be accomplished with the use of remote site incubators. Remote site incubators have been shown to be a cost-effective means of bypassing the early period of high mortality that is often experienced by salmonid eggs that are naturally spawned in streams with degraded habitat. In addition, remote site incubators provide an efficient method for reintroduction of fish into areas that are not fully seeded by natural spawn. The technology for remote site incubators is well developed, and their application is easily accomplished in a wide variety of habitat by persons with a moderate level of training.
It is a goal of the remote site incubator program to assist reestablishment of sustainable fish populations so that the populations may become naturally spawning in many cases. In other cases, primarily where spawning conditions are not optimal or where numbers of spawners are chronically low, the remote site incubator program may become a cost-effective long-term solution for supplementation and restoration of fish populations.
Another goal of the remote site incubator program is to provide a means of utilizing excess or surplus salmonid eggs which in the past would have been destroyed or not used in a way that would have rebuilt fish populations.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. (1) The department shall identify potential sites throughout the state and potential fish species for each site that are suitable for remote site incubators. The initial selection of sites shall be completed by July 1, 1998. Thereafter the site selection list shall be updated at least on an annual basis.
(2)(a) The director may use employees of the fish and wildlife construction crew to construct remote site incubators.
(b) The director shall purchase commercially available remote site incubators in cases in which it would be more economical to purchase remote site incubators rather than to build them with the construction crew.
(c) The director of fish and wildlife and the secretary of the department of corrections shall jointly investigate the potential of producing remote site incubators through the prison industries program of the department of corrections, and shall jointly report their finding to the natural resources committees of the house of representatives and the senate by December 1, 1998.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. (1) The department shall coordinate the implementation of the remote site incubator program throughout the state and shall make annual reports to the fish and wildlife commission on the progress of the program.
(2) The department shall fully involve and depend chiefly upon volunteer efforts to implement the remote site incubator program through the regional fisheries enhancement groups, volunteer cooperative groups, private nonprofit groups, treaty Indian tribes, and interested individuals.
(3) The director shall approve a remote site incubator project unless it is a direct threat to the salmonid resource. The director may prioritize remote site incubator projects within regional enhancement areas.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. (1) The director shall make every effort to utilize appropriate salmonid eggs in remote site incubators if the eggs are not allocated for other fish culture uses or would otherwise be sold or donated.
(2) The director may purchase or accept as a gift to the state viable salmonid eggs from private fish farmers for purposes of stocking remote site incubators and for the stocking of all public waters.
(3) As required to carry out the purposes of this chapter, the director shall contact the treaty Indian tribes, the federal fish and wildlife service, and the state fish management agencies of Oregon and Idaho for the purpose of obtaining donations of viable salmonid eggs for stocking remote site incubators.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. The director shall direct the warm water fish enhancement program of the department to investigate ways for applying the remote site incubator technology to the production of warm water fish.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. Sections 2 through 5 of this act constitute a new chapter in Title 75 RCW."

MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 36.70A.270 and 1996 c 325 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
Each growth management hearings board shall be governed by the following rules on conduct and procedure:
(1) Any board member may be removed for inefficiency, malfeasance, and misfeasance in office, under specific written charges filed by the governor. The governor shall transmit such written charges to the member accused and the chief justice of the supreme court. The chief justice shall thereupon designate a tribunal composed of three judges of the superior court to hear and adjudicate the charges. Removal of any member of a board by the tribunal shall disqualify such member for reappointment.
(2) Each board member shall receive reimbursement for travel expenses incurred in the discharge of his or her duties in accordance with RCW 43.03.050 and 43.03.060. If it is determined that the review boards shall operate on a full-time basis, each member shall receive an annual salary to be determined by the governor pursuant to RCW 43.03.040. If it is determined that a review board shall operate on a part-time basis, each member shall receive compensation pursuant to RCW 43.03.250, provided such amount shall not exceed the amount that would be set if they were a full-time board member. The principal office of each board shall be located by the governor within the jurisdictional boundaries of each board. The boards shall operate on either a part-time or full-time basis, as determined by the governor.
(3) Each board member shall not: (a) Be a candidate for or hold any other public office or trust; (b) engage in any occupation or business interfering with or inconsistent with his or her duty as a board member; and (c) for a period of one year after the termination of his or her board membership, act in a representative capacity before the board on any matter.
(4) A majority of each board shall constitute a quorum for making orders or decisions, adopting rules necessary for the conduct of its powers and duties, or transacting other official business, and may act even though one position of the board is vacant. One or more members may hold hearings and take testimony to be reported for action by the board when authorized by rule or order of the board. The board shall perform all the powers and duties specified in this chapter or as otherwise provided by law.
(5) ((The)) Each board may appoint one or more hearing examiners to assist the board in its hearing function, to make ((conclusions of law and)) findings of fact and, if requested by the board, to make recommendations to the board for advisory decisions in cases before the board. Such hearing examiners must have demonstrated knowledge of land use planning and law. The boards shall specify in their joint rules of practice and procedure, as required by subsection (7) of this section, the procedure and criteria to be employed for designating hearing examiners as a presiding officer. Hearing examiners selected by a board shall meet the requirements of subsection (3) of this section. The findings and conclusions of the hearing examiner shall not become final until they have been formally approved by the board. This authorization to use hearing examiners does not waive the requirement of RCW 36.70A.300 that ((final orders be issued)) advisory decisions be made within one hundred eighty days of board receipt of a petition. Each board may mediate disputes between counties or cities, over whether their comprehensive plans are coordinated or consistent, by using one or more of its own members, hiring staff to provide mediation, or contracting for the provision of mediation.
(6) Each board shall make findings of fact and prepare a written advisory decision in each case decided by it, and such findings and advisory decisions shall be effective upon being signed by two or more members of the board and upon being filed at the board's principal office, and shall be open for public inspection at all reasonable times.
(7) All proceedings before the board, any of its members, or a hearing examiner appointed by the board shall be conducted in accordance with such administrative rules of practice and procedure as the boards jointly prescribe. All three boards shall jointly meet to develop and adopt joint rules of practice and procedure, including rules regarding expeditious and summary disposition of appeals. The boards shall publish such rules and decisions they render and arrange for the reasonable distribution of the rules and decisions. Except as it conflicts with provisions of this chapter, the administrative procedure act, chapter 34.05 RCW, shall govern the practice and procedure of the boards.
(8) A board member or hearing examiner is subject to disqualification under chapter 34.05 RCW. The joint rules of practice of the boards shall establish procedures by which a party to a hearing conducted before the board may file with the board a motion to disqualify, with supporting affidavit, against a board member or hearing examiner assigned to preside at the hearing.
(9) The members of the boards shall meet jointly on at least an annual basis with the objective of sharing information that promotes the goals and purposes of this chapter.

A petition alleging that the shoreline master program or amendments thereto, or chapter 43.21C RCW as it relates thereto, may be filed by a person with standing under chapter 43.21C RCW.
(3) For purposes of this section "person" means any individual, partnership, corporation, association, state agency, governmental subdivision or unit thereof, or public or private organization or entity of any character.

The notice shall describe the penalty for the infraction.

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 28A.320 RCW to read as follows:
(1) School districts and public schools may not request the disclosure of a student's federal social security number, except as provided in subsection (2) of this section.

If disclosure is requested under this subsection (2)(a), the school district or public school shall cite the law requiring the disclosure.
(b) If the student is an employee of the school district, a school district or public school may request disclosure of a student's social security number for employment purposes, if employment records containing the number are maintained separately from student records.
(c) Any school district or public school requesting the disclosure of a student's federal social security number under this subsection must use a consent form, to be signed by the parent or guardian, that contains a disclosure statement printed on the form.

(iv) Who will have access to it.
A parent's or guardian's general consent for another purpose, including medical consent or any consent used to approve admission to or involvement in a special education or remedial program or regular school activity, does not constitute consent to disclosure of the student's social security number.
(3) It is unlawful for any public school or public school district to deny a student any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law because the student or the student's parent or legal guardian refuses to disclose the student's federal social security number.

SSB 5276 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Agriculture & Environment: Providing an alternative for persons whose water rights permits were conditioned due to impact on existing rights or established flows. Reported by Committee on Agriculture & Ecology
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that in many basins in the state there is water available on a seasonal basis that is in excess of the needs of either existing water right holders or instream resources. The legislature finds that excess waters often result in significant flooding and damage to public and private resources. Further, it is in the public interest to encourage the impoundment of excess water and other measures that can be used to offset the impact of withdrawals and diversions on existing rights and instream resources. Further, in some areas of the state additional supplies of water are needed to meet the needs of a growing economy and population. The legislature finds there is a range of alternatives that offset the impacts that should be encouraged including the creation, restoration, enhancement, or enlargement of ponds, wetlands, and reservoirs and the artificial recharge of aquifers.
The purpose of this act is to foster the improvement in the water supplies available to meet the needs of the state. It is the goal of this act to strengthen the state's economy while maintaining and improving the overall quality of the state's environment.
Sec. 2. RCW 90.03.255 and 1996 c 306 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
The department shall, when evaluating an application for a water right, transfer, or change filed pursuant to RCW 90.03.250 or 90.03.380 that includes provision for any water impoundment or other resource management technique, take into consideration the benefits of ((the)) any water impoundment or other resource management technique that is included as a component of the application. The department's consideration shall extend to any increased water supply that results from the impoundment or other resource management technique, including((,)) but not limited to((,)) any recharge of ground water that may occur, as a means of making water available or otherwise offsetting the impact of the diversion of surface water proposed in the application for the water right, transfer, or change. Provision for an impoundment or other resource management technique in an application shall be made solely at the discretion of the applicant and shall not otherwise be made by the department as a condition for approving an application that does not include such provision ((for impoundment)).
This section does not lessen, enlarge, or modify the rights of any riparian owner, or any existing water right acquired by appropriation or otherwise.
Sec. 3. RCW 90.44.055 and 1996 c 306 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
The department shall, when evaluating an application for a water right or an amendment filed pursuant to RCW 90.44.050 or 90.44.100 that includes provision for any water impoundment or other resource management technique, take into consideration the benefits of ((the)) any water impoundment or other resource management technique that is included as a component of the application. The department's consideration shall extend to any increased water supply that results from the impoundment or other resource management technique, including((,)) but not limited to((,)) any recharge of ground water that may occur, as a means of making water available or otherwise offsetting the impact of the withdrawal of ground water proposed in the application for the water right or amendment in the same water resource inventory area. Provision for an impoundment or other resource management technique in an application shall be made solely at the discretion of the applicant and shall not be made by the department as a condition for approving an application that does not include such provision ((for impoundment)).
This section does not lessen, enlarge, or modify the rights of any riparian owner, or any existing water right acquired by appropriation or otherwise.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 90.03 RCW to read as follows:
Upon the request of the applicant, the department shall, when evaluating an application for a water right, transfer, or change filed pursuant to RCW 90.03.250 or 90.03.380, take into account the recharge of ground water from septic tanks or other on-site wastewater treatment facilities in an amount not to exceed the proposed use of water for indoor purposes. The department shall, based upon hydrogeologic data for the area in which the application is located, determine the amount of recharge to the aquifer that is likely to occur and factor that amount into the decision it makes on the application. Any water right permit, transfer, or change that is authorized under this section shall be conditioned to state that the water right permit, transfer, or change shall remain in effect only so long as the water use, including the discharge of water used for indoor purposes through a septic tank or other wastewater treatment facility, remains unchanged from that proposed in the original application.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. A new section is added to chapter 90.44 RCW to read as follows:
Upon the request of the applicant, the department shall, when evaluating an application for a water right or an amendment to a water right or permit filed pursuant to RCW 90.44.050 or 90.44.100, take into account the recharge of ground water from septic tanks or other on-site wastewater treatment facilities in an amount not to exceed the proposed use of water for indoor purposes. The department shall, based upon hydrogeologic data for the area in which the application is located, determine the amount of recharge to the aquifer that is likely to occur and factor that amount into the decision it makes on the application. Any water right permit or amendment that is authorized under this section shall be conditioned to state that the water right permit or amendment shall remain in effect only so long as the water use, including the discharge of water used for indoor purposes through a septic tank or other wastewater treatment facility, remains unchanged from that proposed in the original application."

"Sec. 1. RCW 59.18.390 and 1989 c 342 s 11 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The sheriff shall, upon receiving the writ of restitution, forthwith serve a copy thereof upon the defendant, his or her agent, or attorney, or a person in possession of the premises, and shall not execute the same for three days thereafter, and the defendant, or person in possession of the premises within three days after the service of the writ of restitution may execute to the plaintiff a bond to be filed with and approved by the clerk of the court in such sum as may be fixed by the judge, with sufficient surety to be approved by the clerk of ((said)) the court, conditioned that they will pay to the plaintiff such sum as the plaintiff may recover for the use and occupation of the ((said)) premises, or any rent found due, together with all damages the plaintiff may sustain by reason of the defendant occupying or keeping possession of ((said)) the premises, together with all damages which the court theretofore has awarded to the plaintiff as provided in this chapter, and also all the costs of the action. The plaintiff, his or her agent or attorneys, shall have notice of the time and place where the court or judge thereof shall fix the amount of the defendant's bond, and shall have notice and a reasonable opportunity to examine into the qualification and sufficiency of the sureties upon ((said)) the bond before ((said)) the bond shall be approved by the clerk. After the issuance of a writ of restitution, acceptance of a payment by the landlord or plaintiff that only partially satisfies the judgment will not invalidate the writ unless pursuant to a written agreement executed by both parties. The eviction will not be postponed or stopped unless a copy of that written agreement is provided to the sheriff. It is the responsibility of the tenant or defendant to ensure a copy of the agreement is provided to the sheriff. Upon receipt of the agreement the sheriff will cease action unless ordered to do otherwise by the court. The writ of restitution and the notice that accompanies the writ of restitution required under RCW 59.18.312 shall conspicuously state in bold face type, all capitals, not less than twelve points information about partial payments as set forth in subsection (2) of this section. If the writ of restitution has been based upon a finding by the court that the tenant, subtenant, sublessee, or a person residing at the rental premises has engaged in drug-related activity or has allowed any other person to engage in drug-related activity at those premises with his or her knowledge or approval, neither the tenant, the defendant, nor a person in possession of the premises shall be entitled to post a bond in order to retain possession of the premises. The writ may be served by the sheriff, in the event he or she shall be unable to find the defendant, an agent or attorney, or a person in possession of the premises, by affixing a copy of ((said)) the writ in a conspicuous place upon the premises: PROVIDED, That the sheriff shall not require any bond for the service or execution of the writ. The sheriff shall be immune from all civil liability for serving and enforcing writs of restitution unless the sheriff is grossly negligent in carrying out his or her duty.
(2) The notice accompanying a writ of restitution required under RCW 59.18.312 shall be substantially similar to the following:
IMPORTANT NOTICE - PARTIAL PAYMENTS
YOUR LANDLORD'S ACCEPTANCE OF A PARTIAL PAYMENT FROM YOU AFTER SERVICE OF THIS WRIT OF RESTITUTION WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY POSTPONE OR STOP YOUR EVICTION. IF YOU HAVE A WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH YOUR LANDLORD THAT THE EVICTION WILL BE POSTPONED OR STOPPED, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT TO THE SHERIFF. THE SHERIFF WILL NOT CEASE ACTION UNLESS YOU PROVIDE A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT. AT THE DIRECTION OF THE COURT THE SHERIFF MAY TAKE FURTHER ACTION."

SSB 5327 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Nat Res/Park: Creating a habitat incentive program through the department of fish and wildlife. Reported by Committee on Natural Resources
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. In an effort to increase the amount of habitat available for fish and wildlife, the legislature finds that it is desirable for the department of fish and wildlife and other interested parties to work closely with private landowners to achieve habitat enhancements. In some instances, private landowners avoid enhancing habitat because of a concern that the presence of fish or wildlife may make future land management more difficult. It is the intent of this act to provide a mechanism that facilitates habitat development while avoiding an adverse impact on the landowner at a later date.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. (1) The department of fish and wildlife shall initiate a habitat incentives program in two phases. In creating this program, the department shall make use of and complement other study efforts underway relating to habitat protection and enhancement, including the department's own review of the hydraulic project approval process, the forestry module under development for the forest practices board dealing with practices within riparian areas, and the study on permitting requirements by the regional fisheries enhancement groups called for in chapter . . . (Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5886), Laws of 1997.
(2) In phase one, the department of fish and wildlife shall work with affected federally recognized Indian tribes, landowners, the regional fisheries enhancement groups, the department of natural resources, and other interested parties to identify appropriate criteria and other factors necessary for implementation of the habitat incentives program. The department in concert with the interested parties shall identify at least the following elements for implementation of the program:
(a) The factors and the approach that the department should use in evaluating and weighing the benefits and concurrent risks of entering into a habitat incentives agreement with a landowner;
(b) The approach to be used in assigning responsibilities for implementation of the agreement to the landowner and to the department;
(c) Assignment of responsibility for documentation of the conditions on a landowner's property prior to the department's entering into a habitat incentives agreement;
(d) The process to be used when a landowner who has entered into a habitat incentives agreement applies for hydraulic project approval during the term of the agreement;
(e) The process to be used to monitor and evaluate whether actions taken as a part of the agreement actually enhance habitat for the target species and to amend the agreement if the existing agreement is not enhancing habitat;
(f) The conditions under which the department and the landowner may terminate the agreement and the remedies if either party breaches the terms of the agreement;
(g) The means for ensuring that the department is notified if the property covered by the agreement is sold or otherwise transferred into other ownership;
(h) The process to be used for reaching concurrence between the landowner, the department, the department of natural resources, and affected federally recognized Indian tribes; and
(i) The process to be used in prioritizing proposed agreements if the requests for agreements exceed the funding available for entering into and implementing such agreements.
The department and the interested parties may identify and propose solutions to other issues necessary in order to implement the habitat incentives program. The department and the interested parties shall report to the legislature on their findings as well as on any other recommendations for implementation and funding for the habitat incentives program by December 1, 1997.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 77.12 RCW to read as follows:
(1) Beginning in January 1998, the department shall implement a habitat incentives program based on the recommendations of federally recognized Indian tribes, landowners, the regional fisheries enhancement groups, the department of natural resources, and other interested parties. The program shall allow a private landowner to enter into an agreement with the department to enhance habitat on the landowner's property for food fish, game fish, or other wildlife species. In exchange, the landowner shall receive more state regulatory certainty with regard to future applications for hydraulic project approval on the property covered by the agreement. The overall goal of the program is to provide a mechanism that facilitates habitat development on private property while avoiding an adverse state regulatory impact to the landowner at some future date. A single agreement between the department and a landowner may encompass up to one thousand acres. A landowner may enter into multiple agreements with the department, provided that the total acreage covered by such agreements with a single landowner does not exceed ten thousand acres. The department is not obligated to enter into an agreement unless the department finds that the agreement is in the best interest of protecting fish or wildlife species or habitat.
(2) A habitat enhancement agreement shall be in writing and shall contain at least the following: A description of the property covered by the agreement, an expiration date, a description of the condition of the property prior to the implementation of the agreement, and other information needed by the landowner and the department for future reference and decisions.
(3) As part of the agreement, the department may stipulate the factors that will be considered when the department evaluates a landowner's application for hydraulic project approval under RCW 75.20.100 or 75.20.103 on property covered by the agreement. The department's identification of these evaluation factors shall be in concurrence with the department of natural resources and affected federally recognized Indian tribes. In general, future decisions related to the issuance, conditioning, or denial of hydraulic project approval shall be based on the conditions present on the landowner's property at the time of the agreement, unless all parties agree otherwise.
(4) The agreement is binding on and may be used by only the landowner who entered into the agreement with the department. The agreement shall not be appurtenant with the land. However, if a new landowner chooses to maintain the habitat enhancement efforts on the property, the new landowner and the department may jointly choose to retain the agreement on the property.
(5) If, during the course of the agreement, the landowner or the department must alter some terms of the agreement in order to comply with federal laws or regulations, the remaining terms of the agreement shall continue to remain binding on the parties.
(6) If the department receives multiple requests for agreements with private landowners under the habitat incentives program, the department shall prioritize these requests and shall enter into as many agreements as possible within available budgetary resources.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 75.20 RCW to read as follows:
When a private landowner is applying for hydraulic project approval under this chapter and that landowner has entered into a habitat incentives agreement with the department as provided in section 3 of this act, the department shall comply with the terms of that agreement when evaluating the request for hydraulic project approval.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. The department of fish and wildlife and the department of natural resources, in conjunction with the timber-fish-wildlife cooperators, shall investigate the feasibility of providing private landowners with more state level regulatory certainty with regard to forest practices regulations in exchange for a landowner's enhancement of habitat for fish or wildlife on the landowner's property. The agencies shall focus their efforts on possible agreements with landowners covering not more than one thousand acres per agreement, but the agencies shall consider the possibility of multiple agreements with a single landowner, not to exceed a total of ten thousand acres per landowner. The agencies shall evaluate the possibility of including provisions relating to forest practices regulations into the habitat incentives program being developed under this act. The agencies shall report to the legislature by December 1, 1997, the same time frame as the phase one report from the department of fish and wildlife. If the agencies and other interested parties find it expedient to do so, the studies in this section and in section 2 of this act may be combined into one effort.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. If specific funding for the purposes of this act, referencing this act by bill or chapter number, is not provided by June 30, 1997, in the omnibus appropriations act, this act is null and void."

Sec. 6. RCW 35A.12.010 and 1994 c 223 s 30 are each amended to read as follows:
The government of any noncharter code city or charter code city electing to adopt the mayor-council plan of government authorized by this chapter shall be vested in an elected mayor and an elected council. The council of a noncharter code city having less than twenty-five hundred inhabitants shall consist of five members; when there are twenty-five hundred or more inhabitants, the council shall consist of seven members((: PROVIDED, That)). A city with a population of less than twenty-five hundred at the time of reclassification as an optional municipal code city may choose to maintain a seven-member council. The decision concerning the number of councilmembers shall be made by the council and be incorporated as a section of the ordinance adopting for the city the classification of noncharter code city. If the population of a city after having become a code city decreases from twenty-five hundred or more to less than twenty-five hundred, it shall continue to have a seven member council. If, after a city has become a mayor-council code city, its population increases to twenty-five hundred or more inhabitants, the number of councilmanic offices in such city may increase from five to seven members upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the existing council to increase the number of councilmanic offices in the city. When the population of a mayor-council code city having five councilmanic offices increases to five thousand or more inhabitants, the number of councilmanic offices in the city shall increase from five to seven members. In the event of an increase in the number of councilmanic offices, the city council shall, by majority vote, pursuant to RCW 35A.12.050, appoint two persons to serve in these offices until the next municipal general election, at which election one person shall be elected for a two-year term and one person shall be elected for a four-year term. The number of inhabitants shall be determined by the most recent official state or federal census or determination by the state office of financial management. A charter adopted under the provisions of this title, incorporating the mayor-council plan of government set forth in this chapter, may provide for an uneven number of councilmembers not exceeding eleven.
A noncharter code city of less than five thousand inhabitants which has elected the mayor-council plan of government and which has seven councilmanic offices may establish a five-member council in accordance with the following procedure. At least six months prior to a municipal general election, the city council shall adopt an ordinance providing for reduction in the number of councilmanic offices to five. The ordinance shall specify which two councilmanic offices, the terms of which expire at the next general election, are to be terminated. The ordinance shall provide for the renumbering of council positions and shall also provide for a two-year extension of the term of office of a retained councilmanic office, if necessary, in order to comply with RCW 35A.12.040.
However, a noncharter code city that has retained its old mayor-council plan of government, as provided in RCW 35A.02.130, is subject to the laws applicable to that old plan of government.

The city or town officially shall become incorporated at a date from one hundred eighty days to three hundred sixty days after the date of the election on the question of incorporation. An interim period shall exist between the time the newly elected officials have been elected and qualified and this official date of incorporation. During this interim period, the newly elected officials are authorized to adopt ordinances and resolutions which shall become effective on or after the official date of incorporation, and to enter into contracts and agreements to facilitate the transition to becoming a city or town and to ensure a continuation of governmental services after the official date of incorporation. Periods of time that would be required to elapse between the enactment and effective date of such ordinances, including but not limited to times for publication or for filing referendums, shall commence upon the date of such enactment as though the city or town were officially incorporated.
During this interim period, the city or town governing body may adopt rules establishing policies and procedures under the state environmental policy act, chapter 43.21C RCW, and may use these rules and procedures in making determinations under the state environmental policy act, chapter 43.21C RCW.
During this interim period, the newly formed city or town and its governing body shall be subject to the following as though the city or town were officially incorporated: RCW 4.24.470 relating to immunity; chapter 42.17 RCW relating to open government; chapter 40.14 RCW relating to the preservation and disposition of public records; chapters 42.20 and 42.23 RCW relating to ethics and conflicts of interest; chapters 42.30 and 42.32 RCW relating to open public meetings and minutes; RCW 35.22.288, ((35.23.310, 35.24.220)) 35.23.221, 35.27.300, 35A.12.160, as appropriate, and chapter 35A.65 RCW relating to the publication of notices and ordinances; RCW 35.21.875 and 35A.21.230 relating to the designation of an official newspaper; RCW 36.16.138 relating to liability insurance; RCW 35.22.620, 35.23.352, and 35A.40.210, as appropriate, and statutes referenced therein relating to public contracts and bidding; and chapter 39.34 RCW relating to interlocal cooperation.

This governing body may submit ballot propositions to the voters of the city or town to authorize taxes to be collected on or after the official date of incorporation, or authorize an annexation of the city or town by a fire protection district or library district to be effective immediately upon the effective date of the incorporation as a city or town.
The boundaries of a newly incorporated city or town shall be deemed to be established for purposes of RCW 84.09.030 on the date that the results of the initial election on the question of incorporation are certified or the first day of January following the date of this election if the newly incorporated city or town does not impose property taxes in the same year that the voters approve the incorporation.
The newly elected officials shall take office immediately upon their election and qualification with limited powers during this interim period as provided in this section. They shall acquire their full powers as of the official date of incorporation and shall continue in office until their successors are elected and qualified at the next general municipal election after the official date of incorporation: PROVIDED, That if the date of the next general municipal election is less than twelve months after the date of the first election of councilmembers, those initially elected councilmembers shall serve until their successors are elected and qualified at the next following general municipal election as provided in RCW 29.04.170.

The county legislative authority of the county in which all or the major portion of the newly incorporated city or town is located shall file a notice with the county assessor that the city or town has been authorized to be incorporated immediately after the favorable results of the election on the question of incorporation have been certified. The county legislative authority shall file a notice with the secretary of state that the city or town is incorporated as of the official date of incorporation.
Sec. 12. RCW 35.22.010 and 1965 c 7 s 35.22.010 are each amended to read as follows:
Cities of the first class shall be organized and governed according to the law providing for the government of cities having a population of ((twenty)) ten thousand or more inhabitants that have adopted a charter in accordance with Article ((11)) XI, section 10 of the state Constitution.
Sec. 13. RCW 35.23.051 and 1995 c 134 s 8 are each amended to read as follows:
General municipal elections in second class cities ((not operating under the commission form of government)) shall be held biennially in the odd-numbered years and shall be subject to general election law.
The terms of office of the mayor, city attorney, clerk, and treasurer shall be four years and until their successors are elected and qualified and assume office in accordance with RCW 29.04.170: PROVIDED, That if the offices of city attorney, clerk, and treasurer are made appointive, the city attorney, clerk, and treasurer shall not be appointed for a definite term: PROVIDED FURTHER, That the term of the elected treasurer shall not commence in the same biennium in which the term of the mayor commences, nor in which the terms of the city attorney and clerk commence if they are elected.
Council positions shall be numbered in each second class city so that council position seven has a two-year term of office and council positions one through six shall each have four-year terms of office. Each councilmember shall remain in office until a successor is elected and qualified and assumes office in accordance with RCW 29.04.170.
In its discretion the council of a second class city may divide the city by ordinance, into a convenient number of wards, not exceeding six, fix the boundaries of the wards, and change the ward boundaries from time to time and as provided in RCW 29.70.100. No change in the boundaries of any ward shall be made within one hundred twenty days next before the date of a general municipal election, nor within twenty months after the wards have been established or altered. However, if a boundary change results in one ward being represented by more councilmembers than the number to which it is entitled, those having the shortest unexpired terms shall be assigned by the council to wards where there is a vacancy, and the councilmembers so assigned shall be deemed to be residents of the wards to which they are assigned for purposes of determining whether those positions are vacant.
Whenever such city is so divided into wards, the city council shall designate by ordinance the number of councilmembers to be elected from each ward, apportioning the same in proportion to the population of the wards. Thereafter the councilmembers so designated shall be elected by the voters resident in such ward, or by general vote of the whole city as may be designated in such ordinance. Council position seven shall not be associated with a ward and the person elected to that position may reside anywhere in the city and voters throughout the city may vote at a primary to nominate candidates for position seven, when a primary is necessary, and at a general election to elect the person to council position seven. ((When)) Additional territory that is added to the city ((it may)) shall, by act of the council, be annexed to contiguous wards without affecting the right to redistrict at the expiration of twenty months after last previous division. The removal of a councilmember from the ward for which he or she was elected shall create a vacancy in such office.
Wards shall be redrawn as provided in chapter 29.70 RCW. Wards shall be used as follows: (1) Only a resident of the ward may be a candidate for, or hold office as, a councilmember of the ward; and (2) only voters of the ward may vote at a primary to nominate candidates for a councilmember of the ward. Voters of the entire city may vote at the general election to elect a councilmember of a ward, unless the city had prior to January 1, 1994, limited the voting in the general election for any or all council positions to only voters residing within the ward associated with the council positions. If a city had so limited the voting in the general election to only voters residing within the ward, then the city shall be authorized to continue to do so. The elections for the remaining council position or council positions that are not associated with a ward shall be conducted as if the wards did not exist.

However, any code city that retains its old plan of government is subject to the laws applicable to that old plan of government until the city abandons its old plan of government and reorganizes and adopts a plan of government under chapter 35A.12 or 35A.13 RCW.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 18. A new section is added to chapter 35.13 RCW to read as follows:

Sec. 23. RCW 36.70A.110 and 1995 c 400 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Each county that is required or chooses to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 shall designate an urban growth area or areas within which urban growth shall be encouraged and outside of which growth can occur only if it is not urban in nature. Each city that is located in such a county shall be included within an urban growth area, except that an area owned by a city or town that was annexed to the city or town under RCW 35.13.180 or 35A.14.300 may be located outside of an urban growth area. An urban growth area may include more than a single city. An urban growth area may include territory that is located outside of a city only if such territory already is characterized by urban growth whether or not the urban growth area includes a city, or is adjacent to territory already characterized by urban growth, or is a designated new fully contained community as defined by RCW 36.70A.350.
(2) Based upon the growth management population projection made for the county by the office of financial management, the urban growth areas in the county shall include areas and densities sufficient to permit the urban growth that is projected to occur in the county for the succeeding twenty-year period. Each urban growth area shall permit urban densities and shall include greenbelt and open space areas. An urban growth area determination may include a reasonable land market supply factor and shall permit a range of urban densities and uses. In determining this market factor, cities and counties may consider local circumstances. Cities and counties have discretion in their comprehensive plans to make many choices about accommodating growth.
Within one year of July 1, 1990, each county that as of June 1, 1991, was required or chose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040, shall begin consulting with each city located within its boundaries and each city shall propose the location of an urban growth area. Within sixty days of the date the county legislative authority of a county adopts its resolution of intention or of certification by the office of financial management, all other counties that are required or choose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 shall begin this consultation with each city located within its boundaries. The county shall attempt to reach agreement with each city on the location of an urban growth area within which the city is located. If such an agreement is not reached with each city located within the urban growth area, the county shall justify in writing why it so designated the area an urban growth area. A city may object formally with the department over the designation of the urban growth area within which it is located. Where appropriate, the department shall attempt to resolve the conflicts, including the use of mediation services.
(3) Urban growth should be located first in areas already characterized by urban growth that have adequate existing public facility and service capacities to serve such development, second in areas already characterized by urban growth that will be served adequately by a combination of both existing public facilities and services and any additional needed public facilities and services that are provided by either public or private sources, and third in the remaining portions of the urban growth areas. Urban growth may also be located in designated new fully contained communities as defined by RCW 36.70A.350.
(4) In general, cities are the units of local government most appropriate to provide urban governmental services. In general, it is not appropriate that urban governmental services be extended to or expanded in rural areas except in those limited circumstances shown to be necessary to protect basic public health and safety and the environment and when such services are financially supportable at rural densities and do not permit urban development.
(5) On or before October 1, 1993, each county that was initially required to plan under RCW 36.70A.040(1) shall adopt development regulations designating interim urban growth areas under this chapter. Within three years and three months of the date the county legislative authority of a county adopts its resolution of intention or of certification by the office of financial management, all other counties that are required or choose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 shall adopt development regulations designating interim urban growth areas under this chapter. Adoption of the interim urban growth areas may only occur after public notice; public hearing; and compliance with the state environmental policy act, chapter 43.21C RCW, and RCW 36.70A.110. Such action may be appealed to the appropriate growth management hearings board under RCW 36.70A.280.

SSB 5337 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Government Operations: Extending less than county-wide port districts. Reported by Committee on Government Administration
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 53.04.023 and 1994 c 223 s 84 are each amended to read as follows:
A less than county-wide port district with an assessed valuation of at least ((seventy-five)) one hundred fifty million dollars may be created in a county that already has a less than county-wide port district located within its boundaries. Except as provided in this section, such a port district shall be created in accordance with the procedure to create a county-wide port district.
The effort to create such a port district is initiated by the filing of a petition with the county auditor calling for the creation of such a port district, describing the boundaries of the proposed port district, designating either three or five commissioner positions, describing commissioner districts if the petitioners propose that the commissioners represent districts, and providing a name for the proposed port district. The petition must be signed by voters residing within the proposed port district equal in number to at least ten percent of such voters who voted at the last county general election.
A public hearing on creation of the proposed port district shall be held by the county legislative authority if the county auditor certifies that the petition contained sufficient valid signatures. Notice of the public hearing must be published in the county's official newspaper at least ten days prior to the date of the public hearing. After taking testimony, the county legislative authority may make changes in the boundaries of the proposed port district if it finds that such changes are in the public interest and shall determine if the creation of the port district is in the public interest. No area may be added to the boundaries unless a subsequent public hearing is held on the proposed port district.
The county legislative authority shall submit a ballot proposition authorizing the creation of the proposed port district to the voters of the proposed port district, at any special election date provided in RCW 29.13.020, if it finds the creation of the port district to be in the public interest.
The port district shall be created if a majority of the voters voting on the ballot proposition favor the creation of the port district. The initial port commissioners shall be elected at the same election, from districts or at large, as provided in the petition initiating the creation of the port district. The election shall be otherwise conducted as provided in RCW 53.12.172, but the election of commissioners shall be null and void if the port district is not created.
((This section shall expire July 1, 1997.))

SSB 5347 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Nat Res/Park: Creating a program for juvenile fishing only waters. Reported by Committee on Natural Resources
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that the fish and wildlife commission provides juvenile fishers, under the age of fifteen, with an opportunity to fish in waters that are reserved for this age group. The legislature further finds that providing fishers under the age of eighteen with increased opportunity to fish with recreational gear will provide wholesome activities that will better their lives and instill an appreciation for the state's natural resources. Society as a whole will gain from these positive, youthful experiences, and an important tradition of Northwest life will be perpetuated. Many youthful fishers will be exposed to a natural experience that will teach them self-confidence, respect for the resource, and remain with them for the rest of their lives.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The fish and wildlife commission shall identify, establish, and expand upon specific areas throughout the state that are suitable for a youth fishing-only program. The department shall restrict the fishing opportunities in these waters to persons less than eighteen years of age. The length of the fishing season for youth fishing-only waters shall be as long as possible to encourage participation year around. Some youth fishing-only waters shall be easily accessible from urban areas so as to encourage inner-city youth to participate in fishing activities.
The department shall, as practical, use fish produced in private and public fish hatcheries as a basis for fishing opportunities in youth fishing-only waters. The purpose of reliance upon hatchery-produced fish is to provide readily available recreation without adversely impacting naturally produced salmonid stocks. The use of hatchery-produced fish enables the catch and retention of the fish by youth fishers without the requirement for catch and release fishing. The department may establish some waters for youth catch and release fishing only, but the major emphasis of the program is upon allowance of catch and retention.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. The department shall work with cooperative groups, regional fisheries enhancement groups, government agencies, Indian tribes, private fish farmers, and civic groups for the purpose of expanding youth fishing-only waters throughout the state. Organized groups that sponsor group outings for youth fishers shall be encouraged to the fullest extent.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. The department of fish and wildlife shall report to the appropriate committees of the legislature on the progress of the youth fishing-only program on or before January 31, 1998.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. Sections 2 and 3 of this act are each added to chapter 77.32 RCW."

(1) In the event that any person or government agency desires to construct any form of hydraulic project or perform other work that will use, divert, obstruct, or change the natural flow or bed of any of the salt or fresh waters of the state, such person or government agency shall, before commencing construction or work thereon and to ensure the proper protection of fish life, secure the ((written)) approval of the department as to the adequacy of the means proposed for the protection of fish life. This approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(2)(a) Except as provided in RCW 75.20.1001 ((and 75.20.1002)), the department shall grant or deny approval of a standard permit within forty-five calendar days of the receipt of a complete application and notice of compliance with any applicable requirements of the state environmental policy act, made in the manner prescribed in this section.
(b) The applicant may document receipt of application by filing in person or by registered mail. A complete application for approval shall contain general plans for the overall project, complete plans and specifications of the proposed construction or work within the mean higher high water line in salt water or within the ordinary high water line in fresh water, and complete plans and specifications for the proper protection of fish life.
(c) The forty-five day requirement shall be suspended if (((1))):
(i) After ten working days of receipt of the application, the applicant remains unavailable or unable to arrange for a timely field evaluation of the proposed project;
(((2))) (ii) The site is physically inaccessible for inspection; or
(((3))) (iii) The applicant requests delay. Immediately upon determination that the forty-five day period is suspended, the department shall notify the applicant in writing of the reasons for the delay.
(d) For purposes of this section, "standard permit" means a written permit issued by the department when the conditions under subsections (3) and (6)(b) of this section are not met.
(3)(a) The department may issue an expedited written permit in those instances where normal permit processing would result in significant hardship for the applicant or unacceptable damage to the environment. In cases of imminent danger, the department shall issue an expedited written permit, upon request, for work to repair existing structures, move obstructions, restore banks, protect property, or protect fish resources. Expedited permit requests require a complete written application as provided in subsection (2)(b) of this section and shall be issued within fifteen calendar days of the receipt of a complete written application. Approval of an expedited permit is valid for up to sixty days from the date of issuance.
(b) For the purposes of this subsection, "imminent danger" means a threat by weather, water flow, or other natural conditions that is likely to occur within sixty days of a request for a permit application.

Chapter 34.05 RCW applies to any denial of project approval, conditional approval, or requirements for project modification upon which approval may be contingent.
(5) If any person or government agency commences construction on any hydraulic works or projects subject to this section without first having obtained ((written)) approval of the department as to the adequacy of the means proposed for the protection of fish life, or if any person or government agency fails to follow or carry out any of the requirements or conditions as are made a part of such approval, the person or director of the agency is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

(c) The department or the county legislative authority may declare and continue an emergency when one or more of the criteria under (b) of this subsection are met. The county legislative authority shall immediately notify the department if it declares an emergency under this subsection.
(7) The department shall, at the request of a county, develop five-year maintenance approval agreements, consistent with comprehensive flood control management plans adopted under the authority of RCW 86.12.200, or other watershed plan approved by a county legislative authority, to allow for work on public and private property for bank stabilization, bridge repair, removal of sand bars and debris, channel maintenance, and other flood damage repair and reduction activity under agreed-upon conditions and times without obtaining permits for specific projects.
(8) This section shall not apply to the construction of any form of hydraulic project or other work which diverts water for agricultural irrigation or stock watering purposes authorized under or recognized as being valid by the state's water codes, or when such hydraulic project or other work is associated with streambank stabilization to protect farm and agricultural land as defined in RCW 84.34.020. These irrigation or stock watering diversion and streambank stabilization projects shall be governed by RCW 75.20.103.
(9) For the purposes of this section and RCW 75.20.103, "bed" means the land below the ordinary high water lines of state waters. This definition does not include irrigation ditches, canals, storm water run-off devices, or other artificial watercourses except where they exist in a natural watercourse that has been altered by man.

ESB 5514 Prime Sponsor, Senator Morton: Authorizing fees for commodity commissions and the department of agriculture. Reported by Committee on Agriculture & Ecology
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that Initiative Measure No. 601, adopted by the people of the state of Washington, limits fee increases by requiring that any increases in fees beyond the levels expressly allowed under the initiative receive the prior approval of the legislature. The legislature finds that a more direct system of allowing the people to control fee increases predates Initiative Measure No. 601. This system developed in agricultural communities and provides these communities with direct control of the fees of the agricultural commodity commissions they created to serve them. The system requires those who pay the assessments levied by commodity commissions and boards to approve of assessment increases by referendum. It is at the heart of the statutes and marketing orders and agreements under which agricultural commodity commissions and boards are created. The legislature does not believe that the adoption of Initiative Measure No. 601 was intended to dilute in any manner this more direct control held by the people governed by commodity commissions or boards over the fees they pay in the form of such assessments. Therefore, the legislature defers to this more direct control of these assessments so long as the authority to approve or disapprove of increases in these assessments is by referendum held directly by those who pay them.
Sec. 2. RCW 43.135.055 and 1994 c 2 s 8 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) No fee may increase in any fiscal year by a percentage in excess of the fiscal growth factor for that fiscal year without prior legislative approval.
(2) This section does not apply to an assessment made by an agricultural commodity commission or board created by state law or created under a marketing agreement or order under chapter 15.65 or 15.66 RCW if the assessment is approved by referendum in accordance with the provisions of the statutes creating the commission or board or chapter 15.65 or 15.66 RCW for approving such assessments.
Sec. 3. RCW 15.28.180 and 1992 c 87 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The same assessment shall be made for each soft tree fruit, except that if a two-thirds majority of the state commodity committee of any fruit recommends in writing the levy of an additional assessment on that fruit, or any classification thereof, for any year or years, the commission may levy such assessment for that year or years up to the maximum of eighteen dollars for each two thousand pounds of any fruit except cherries or any classification thereof, as to which the assessment may be increased to a maximum of thirty dollars for each two thousand pounds, and except pears covered by this chapter, as to which the assessment may be increased to a maximum of eighteen dollars for each two thousand pounds: PROVIDED, That no increase in the assessment on pears becomes effective unless the increase is first referred by the commission to a referendum by the Bartlett pear growers of the state and is approved by a majority of the growers voting on the referendum. The method and procedure of conducting the referendum shall be determined by the commission. Any funds so raised shall be expended solely for the purposes provided in this chapter and solely for such fruit, or classification thereof.
The commission has the authority in its discretion to exempt in whole or in part from future assessments under this chapter, during such period as the commission may prescribe, any of the soft tree fruits or any particular strain or classification of them.
(2) An assessment levied under this chapter may be increased in excess of the fiscal growth factor as determined under chapter 43.135 RCW if the assessment is submitted by referendum to the growers who are subject to the assessment and the increase is approved by a majority of those voting on the referendum. The method and procedure of conducting the referendum shall be determined by the commission.
Sec. 4. RCW 15.86.070 and 1992 c 71 s 10 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The director may adopt rules establishing a certification program for producers, processors, and vendors of organic or transition to organic food. The rules may govern, but are not limited to governing: The number and scheduling of on-site visits, both announced and unannounced, by certification personnel; recordkeeping requirements; and the submission of product samples for chemical analysis. The rules shall include a fee schedule that will provide for the recovery of the full cost of the organic food program.

"Sec. 1. RCW 90.03.250 and 1987 c 109 s 83 are each amended to read as follows:
Any person, municipal corporation, firm, irrigation district, association, corporation, or water users' association hereafter desiring to appropriate water for a beneficial use shall make an application to the department for a permit to make such appropriation, and shall not use or divert such waters until ((he)) the entity has received a permit from the department as provided in this chapter ((provided)), except for diversions authorized under section 3 of this act. The construction of any ditch, canal, or works, or performing any work in connection with ((said)) the construction or appropriation, or the use of any waters, shall not be an appropriation of such water nor an act for the purpose of appropriating water unless a permit to make ((said)) the appropriation has first been granted by the department((: PROVIDED, That)). However, a temporary permit may be granted upon a proper showing made to the department to be valid only during the pendency of such application for a permit unless sooner revoked by the department((: PROVIDED,)). Further, ((That)) nothing in this chapter ((contained)) shall be deemed to affect RCW 90.40.010 through 90.40.080 except that the notice and certificate therein provided for in RCW 90.40.030 shall be addressed to the department, and the department shall exercise the powers and perform the duties prescribed by RCW 90.40.030.

(1) Any diversion of water for municipal purposes made under the authority of this section is exempt from the application and permit requirements of RCW 90.03.250 if the diversion is from a river with an instantaneous minimum flow of at least fifty cubic feet per second, measured at the point of diversion, and is made within one mile upstream from the point at which the river begins to mix with saltwater. The diversion is entitled to a right equal to that established by a permit issued under the provisions of this chapter, and is subject to minimum water flows or levels established by rule.
(2) For diversions from a river under this section, no single diverter may put to beneficial use more than ten percent of the instantaneous flow of the river in the specific area of the diversion, and in no event may the combined diversions exceed thirty percent of the instantaneous flow of the river in the specific area of the diversion.
(3) For diversions from a freshwater body under this section, no single diverter may put to beneficial use more than ten percent of the annual average inflow to the impounded body, and in no event may the combined diversions exceed thirty percent of the annual average inflow to the impounded body.

SSB 5527 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Agriculture & Environment: Providing incentives for water-efficient irrigation systems. Reported by Committee on Agriculture & Ecology
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 90.03.380 and 1996 c 320 s 19 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The right to the use of water which has been applied to a beneficial use in the state shall be and remain appurtenant to the land or place upon which the same is used: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, That ((said)) the right may be transferred to another or to others and become appurtenant to any other land or place of use without loss of priority of right theretofore established if such change can be made without detriment or injury to existing rights. The point of diversion of water for beneficial use or the purpose of use may be changed, if such change can be made without detriment or injury to existing rights. Before any transfer of such right to use water or change of the point of diversion of water or change of purpose of use can be made, any person having an interest in the transfer or change, shall file a written application therefor with the department, and ((said)) the application shall not be granted until notice of ((said)) the application ((shall be)) is published as provided in RCW 90.03.280. If it shall appear that such transfer or such change may be made without injury or detriment to existing rights, the department shall issue to the applicant a certificate in duplicate granting the right for such transfer or for such change of point of diversion or of use. The certificate so issued shall be filed and be made a record with the department and the duplicate certificate issued to the applicant may be filed with the county auditor in like manner and with the same effect as provided in the original certificate or permit to divert water.
(2) If an application for change proposes to transfer water rights from one irrigation district to another, the department shall, before publication of notice, receive concurrence from each of the irrigation districts that such transfer or change will not adversely affect the ability to deliver water to other landowners or impair the financial or operational integrity of either of the districts.
(3) A change in place of use by an individual water user or users of water provided by an irrigation district need only receive approval for the change from the board of directors of the district if the use of water continues within the irrigation district, and when water is provided by an irrigation entity that is a member of a board of joint control created under chapter 87.80 RCW, approval need only be received from the board of joint control if the use of water continues within the area of jurisdiction of the joint board and the change can be made without detriment or injury to existing rights. The board of directors of an irrigation district may approve such a change if the board determines that the change: Will not adversely affect the district's ability to deliver water to other landowners; will not require the construction by the district of diversion or drainage facilities unless the board finds that the construction by the district is in the interest of the district; will not impair the financial or operational integrity of the district; and is consistent with the contractual obligations of the district.
(4) Subsections (1), (2), and (3) of this section do not apply to a transfer or change governed by section 2 of this act.
(5) This section shall not apply to trust water rights acquired by the state through the funding of water conservation projects under chapter 90.38 RCW or RCW 90.42.010 through 90.42.070.
(6) Any right represented by an application for a water right for which a permit for water use has not been issued by the time a transfer or change is approved under this section may not be construed as being injured or detrimentally affected by the transfer or change. An existing right that is in the status of an undeveloped water use permit under which water has not been withdrawn by the time a transfer or change is approved under this section may not be construed as being injured or detrimentally affected by the transfer or change.
(7) The department may not initiate relinquishment proceedings under chapter 90.14 RCW regarding a water right for which an application for a transfer or change is filed under this section during the period beginning on the date the department receives the application and ending two years after the date the department approves or denies the application.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 90.03 RCW to read as follows:
(1)(a) If a portion of the water governed by a water right is made surplus to the beneficial uses exercised under the right through the implementation of practices or technologies, including but not limited to conveyance practices or technologies, which are more efficient or more water use efficient than those under which the right was perfected, the right to use the surplus water may be changed as provided by subsection (2), (3), or (6) of this section.
(b) If a portion of the water governed by a water right is made surplus to the beneficial uses exercised under the right through a change in the crops grown under the water right, the right to use the surplus water may be changed as provided by subsection (3) of this section. This subsection (1)(b) does not apply to water supplied by an irrigation district.
(c) This section applies only to a change of an agricultural use or portion of an agricultural use of water to an agricultural use of water.
(2) The use within an irrigation district of water supplied by the district and made surplus as provided in subsection (1)(a) of this section shall be regulated solely as provided by the board of directors of the irrigation district. Such a use requires the approval of the board of directors of the irrigation district or must otherwise be authorized by the board. The board may approve or authorize such a use only if the use does not impair the financial or operational integrity of the district. Water supplied by an irrigation district and made surplus as provided in subsection (1)(a) of this section through actions taken by an individual water user served by the district is not available for use as a matter of right by that individual water user, but may be used by the board for the benefit of the district generally. The district's board of directors may approve or otherwise authorize under this subsection uses of such surplus water that result in the total irrigated acreage within the district exceeding the irrigated acreage recorded with the department for the district's water right if the board notifies the department of the change in the irrigated acreage within the district. Except as provided in subsection (6) of this section, such a notification provides a change in the district's water right and, upon receiving the notification, the department shall revise its records for the district's right to reflect the change.
If an irrigation district is within a federal reclamation project and the district's board of directors approves or otherwise authorizes under this subsection uses of such surplus water that result in the total irrigated acreage within the federal project exceeding the irrigated acreage recorded with the department for the federal project's water right, the board shall notify the department of the change in the irrigated acreage within the federal project. Except as provided by this subsection and subsection (6) of this section, such a notification provides a change in the federal reclamation project's water right and, upon receiving the notification, the department shall revise its records for the federal project's right to reflect the change except that the total irrigable acreage for a water right for a federal reclamation project may not exceed the total irrigable acreage authorized for the project by the United States and related repayment contracts.
(3) The right to use water made surplus as provided in subsection (1)(a) or (b) of this section but not supplied by an irrigation district may be changed to use on other parcels of land owned by the holder of the water right that are contiguous to the parcel or parcels of land upon which the use of the water was authorized by the right before such a change. The holder of the water right shall notify the department of such a change. Except as provided in subsection (6) of this section, the notification provides a change in the holder's water right and, upon receiving the notification, the department shall revise its records for the water right to reflect the change.
(4) A change governed by this section shall be made without loss of priority of the right.
(5) This section shall not be construed as authorizing the use of a junior water right in a manner that impairs or interferes with the use of a senior water right.
(6) It is presumed that a change in a water right made by a notification of the department under this section does not impair or interfere with the use of a water right that is senior to the right being changed. However, if upon receiving such a notification, the department determines that the change would impair or interfere with the use of a senior water right, the department shall notify the person providing the notice and shall file a notice of its decision with the superior court of the county in which the withdrawal of water under the right takes place. The notice provided by the department shall not stay the change made to the water right under this section. The superior court shall review the determination of the department de novo. In such a review, the burden of proof in overcoming the presumption provided by this subsection is on the department. The presumption can be overcome only through the application of scientific data supporting the department's determination. At the conclusion of its review, the superior court shall enter a ruling canceling the change identified in the notification provided to the department, modifying the conditions or extent of that change, or affirming the change. If the ruling modifies the change or affirms the change, the department shall revise its records regarding the right accordingly.
A determination regarding impairment or interference made by the department under this subsection concerning a notification it receives under this section shall be made within one year of receiving the notification.
The presumption provided by this subsection does not apply with regard to a claim made in superior court by a person with a water right that a change made under this section by a junior water right holder impairs or interferes with the use of the person's senior water right.
(7) If a water right changed under this section is a right represented by a statement of claim in the water rights claims registry, the department's obligation to revise its records to reflect the change shall be accomplished by providing an amendment to the statement of claim to reflect the change.
(8) This section does not apply in an area with an acreage expansion program in effect on the effective date of this section that is an element of a ground water area or subarea management program as provided in RCW 90.44.445.
(9) Nothing in this section authorizes a change in a water right or a portion of a water right that has not been perfected through beneficial use prior to the change.
Sec. 3. RCW 90.44.100 and 1987 c 109 s 113 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) After an application to, and upon the issuance by the department of an amendment to the appropriate permit or certificate of ground water right, the holder of a valid right to withdraw public ground waters may, without losing his priority of right, construct wells or other means of withdrawal at a new location in substitution for or in addition to those at the original location, or he may change the manner or the place of use of the water((: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, That such)). An amendment shall be issued only after publication of notice of the application and findings as prescribed in the case of an original application. Such amendment shall be issued by the department only on the conditions that: (((1))) (a) The additional or substitute well or wells shall tap the same body of public ground water as the original well or wells; (((2))) (b) use of the original well or wells shall be discontinued upon construction of the substitute well or wells; (((3))) (c) the construction of an additional well or wells shall not enlarge the right conveyed by the original permit or certificate; and (((4))) (d) other existing rights shall not be impaired. The department may specify an approved manner of construction and shall require a showing of compliance with the terms of the amendment, as provided in RCW 90.44.080 in the case of an original permit.
(2) This section does not apply to a transfer or change governed by section 2 of this act.
(3) Any right represented by an application for a water right for which a permit for water use has not been issued by the time an amendment is approved under this section may not be construed as being impaired by the amendment. An existing right that is in the status of an undeveloped water use permit under which water has not been withdrawn by the time an amendment is approved under this section may not be construed as being impaired by the amendment.
(4) The department may not initiate relinquishment proceedings under chapter 90.14 RCW regarding a water right for which an application for an amendment is filed under this section during the period beginning on the date the department receives the application and ending two years after the date the department makes a decision on the application.
Sec. 4. RCW 90.03.290 and 1994 c 264 s 84 are each amended to read as follows:
When an application complying with the provisions of this chapter and with the rules and regulations of the department has been filed, the same shall be placed on record with the department, and it shall be its duty to investigate the application, and determine what water, if any, is available for appropriation, and find and determine to what beneficial use or uses it can be applied. If it is proposed to appropriate water for irrigation purposes, the department shall investigate, determine and find what lands are capable of irrigation by means of water found available for appropriation. If it is proposed to appropriate water for the purpose of power development, the department shall investigate, determine and find whether the proposed development is likely to prove detrimental to the public interest, having in mind the highest feasible use of the waters belonging to the public. If the application does not contain, and the applicant does not promptly furnish sufficient information on which to base such findings, the department may issue a preliminary permit, for a period of not to exceed three years, requiring the applicant to make such surveys, investigations, studies, and progress reports, as in the opinion of the department may be necessary. If the applicant fails to comply with the conditions of the preliminary permit, it and the application or applications on which it is based shall be automatically canceled and the applicant so notified. If the holder of a preliminary permit shall, before its expiration, file with the department a verified report of expenditures made and work done under the preliminary permit, which, in the opinion of the department, establishes the good faith, intent and ability of the applicant to carry on the proposed development, the preliminary permit may, with the approval of the governor, be extended, but not to exceed a maximum period of five years from the date of the issuance of the preliminary permit. The department shall make and file as part of the record in the matter, written findings of fact concerning all things investigated, and if it shall find that there is water available for appropriation for a beneficial use, and the appropriation thereof as proposed in the application will not impair existing rights or be detrimental to the public welfare, it shall issue a permit stating the amount of water to which the applicant shall be entitled and the beneficial use or uses to which it may be applied: PROVIDED, That where the water applied for is to be used for irrigation purposes, it shall become appurtenant only to such land as may be reclaimed thereby to the full extent of the soil for agricultural purposes. But where there is no unappropriated water in the proposed source of supply, or where the proposed use conflicts with existing rights, or threatens to prove detrimental to the public interest, having due regard to the highest feasible development of the use of the waters belonging to the public, it shall be duty of the department to reject such application and to refuse to issue the permit asked for. If the permit is refused because of conflict with existing rights and such applicant shall acquire same by purchase or condemnation under RCW 90.03.040, the department may thereupon grant such permit. Any application may be approved for a less amount of water than that applied for, if there exists substantial reason therefor, and in any event shall not be approved for more water than can be applied to beneficial use for the purposes named in the application. In determining whether or not a permit shall issue upon any application, it shall be the duty of the department to investigate all facts relevant and material to the application. After the department approves said application in whole or in part and before any permit shall be issued thereon to the applicant, such applicant shall pay the fee provided in RCW 90.03.470: PROVIDED FURTHER, That in the event a permit is issued by the department upon any application, it shall be its duty to notify the director of fish and wildlife of such issuance.
This section does not apply to transfers or changes made under section 2 of this act or to applications for transfers or changes made under RCW 90.03.380 or 90.44.100.
Sec. 5. RCW 90.44.445 and 1993 c 99 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
In any acreage expansion program adopted by the department as an element of a ground water management program, the authorization for a water right certificate holder to participate in the program shall be on an annual basis for the first two years. After the two-year period, the department may authorize participation for ten-year periods. The department may authorize participation for ten-year periods for certificate holders who have already participated in an acreage expansion program for two years. The department may require annual certification that the certificate holder has complied with all requirements of the program. The department may terminate the authority of a certificate holder to participate in the program for one calendar year if the certificate holder fails to comply with the requirements of the program.
This section applies only in an area with an acreage expansion program in effect on the effective date of this amendatory section that has been adopted by the department as an element of a ground water area or subarea management program. The provisions of section 2 of this act, RCW 90.03.380, and 90.44.100 apply to transfers, changes, and amendments to permits or rights for the beneficial use of ground water in any other area."

SB 5571 Prime Sponsor, Senator Newhouse: Providing for a single form for employers to report unemployment insurance contributions and industrial insurance premiums and assessments. Reported by Committee on Commerce & Labor
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) The legislature finds that failure to report and underreporting of industrial insurance premiums and unemployment insurance contributions creates, among other problems, a serious economic disadvantage for those employers who comply with the law. Based on the recommendations of a legislative task force that reviewed these issues, the legislature finds that some employers who comply with one of these laws, but fail to comply with the other, may be more likely to comply with both laws if employers were required to file their reports on a unified form. In addition, the agencies may be better able to coordinate efforts to enforce the reporting requirements if reporting information is provided to both agencies.
(2) By January 1, 1998, the department of labor and industries and the employment security department shall jointly develop a plan, and report the plan to the appropriate committees of the legislature, for implementing a unified form for reporting industrial insurance premiums under Title 51 RCW and unemployment insurance contributions under Title 50 RCW beginning with reports due in calendar year 1999. The implementation plan must address at least the following:
(a) The use of separate pages or separate sections on the form for each agency's report. The agencies may review but are not required to change coverage or reporting requirements in developing a unified form;
(b) Procedures for employers to mail or electronically transmit the report to a central location with distribution to the agencies or other distribution alternative that provides the agencies with notice of the employers' filings; and
(c) Methods to permit employers to make payment to both agencies in a single payment.
(3) By January 1, 1998, the department of labor and industries and the employment security department shall report to the appropriate committees of the legislature the results of a study that cross-matches the names or the unified business identifier numbers, or both, of employers who file reports under Title 50 RCW or Title 51 RCW, or both. At a minimum, the report must include the number of employers who file a report under only one title and the results of the agency's investigating the failure to file a report under both titles.

SB 5651 Prime Sponsor, Senator Anderson: Restricting actions against employers under industrial insurance. Reported by Committee on Commerce & Labor
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that the historic covenant between workers and employers that resulted in the industrial insurance system in Washington was intended to provide both "sure and certain" relief to workers and foreclosure of law suits against employers, without regard to questions of fault by either party. However, this historic compromise also recognized that employers who deliberately injured their employees should not be immune from civil law suit. The legislature therefore finds that the standard used for determining the injuries for which employers can be subject to suit is critical to maintaining the covenant between workers and employers. To protect the no-fault system intended for industrial insurance, this standard must narrowly limit suits against employers to situations in which the employer determined to injure the employee and used some means appropriate to that end.
Sec. 2. RCW 51.24.020 and 1984 c 218 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
If injury results to a worker from the deliberate intention of his or her employer to produce such injury, the worker or beneficiary of the worker shall have the privilege to take under this title and also have cause of action against the employer as if this title had not been enacted, for any damages in excess of compensation and benefits paid or payable under this title. For the purposes of this section, a worker's injury does not result from the deliberate intention of his or her employer unless the employer had specific intent to injure the worker. The specific intent required under this section must relate to the injury, not to the act causing the injury. The employer has the specific intent required under this section if the employer acts with the objective or purpose to accomplish the worker's injury, using some means appropriate to that end. The court shall determine, as a question of law, the employer's intent."

SSB 5668 Prime Sponsor, Committee on FinIn/Ins/Hs: Allowing the department of health to adopt a temporary worker housing code. Reported by Committee on Trade & Economic Development
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that the shortage of temporary worker housing is due in part to inappropriate construction requirements for temporary worker shelter and related facilities. It is the intent of the legislature that temporary worker housing developers, including employers, be provided with a regulatory framework that allows shelter to be provided that meets the basic dignity, comfort, common decency, health, and safety needs of workers. It is the intent of chapter . . ., Laws of 1997 (this act) to provide a temporary worker housing building code that will encourage private development of temporary worker housing, and will accommodate a wide range of building materials and new and innovative construction formats that are not possible under previously applicable codes.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 19.27 RCW to read as follows:
Temporary worker housing shall be constructed, altered, or repaired as provided in chapter 70.114A RCW. The construction, alteration, or repair of temporary worker housing is not subject to the codes adopted under RCW 19.27.031, except as provided in any code adopted under chapter 70.114A RCW. For the purposes of this section "temporary worker housing" means a shelter, place, area, or piece of land where sleeping places or housing sites are provided by an employer for his or her employees for temporary seasonal occupancy, not to exceed six months in a twelve-month period, at the employees' worksite, and includes labor camps under RCW 70.54.110. The term "temporary worker housing" does not include tents and tent platforms.
Sec. 3. RCW 70.114A.080 and 1995 c 220 s 8 are each amended to read as follows:
((By December 1, 1996,)) The state building code council shall ((develop)) adopt by rule under chapter 34.05 RCW a temporary worker ((housing)) building code, in conformance with the temporary worker housing standards developed under the Washington industrial safety and health act, chapter 49.17 RCW, the rules adopted by the state board of health under RCW 70.54.110, and the following guidelines:
(1) The code shall provide construction standards for shelter and associated facilities that are safe, secure, and capable of withstanding the stresses and loads associated with their designated use, and to which they are likely to be subjected by the elements.
(2) The code shall permit and facilitate designs and formats that allow for maximum affordability, consistent with the provision of decent, safe, and sanitary housing.
(3) In developing the code the council shall consider: (a) The need for dormitory type housing for groups of unrelated individuals; and (b) the need for housing to accommodate families.
(4) The code shall include construction standards for ((a variety of formats, including, but not limited to)): (a) ((Tents and tent platforms)) Straw bale exterior wall structures; and (b) hard-shell, single exterior wall structures.
(5) The code shall include standards for temporary worker housing that is to be used only during periods when no auxiliary heat is required.
In ((developing)) adopting the temporary worker ((housing)) building code, it is the intent of the legislature that the building code council make exceptions to the codes listed in RCW 19.27.031, and chapter 19.27A RCW, in keeping with the guidelines set forth in this section.
((The building code council shall appoint a technical advisory committee to assist in the development of the temporary worker housing code, which shall include representatives of industries that most frequently supply temporary housing to their employees.)) It is also the intent of the legislature that the state building code council take into consideration the guidelines developed by the technical advisory committee for the development of the initial temporary worker building code adopted by the state building code council under section 8, chapter 220, Laws of 1995, and presented to the legislature on December 1, 1996. The state building code council shall consider additional input from all interested parties, including seasonal agricultural workers, before adopting the temporary worker building code under this section.
The temporary worker building code authorized and required by this section shall be enforced by the department.
Sec. 4. RCW 43.70.340 and 1990 c 253 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The farmworker housing inspection fund is established in the custody of the state treasury. The department of health shall deposit all funds received under subsection (2) of this section and from the legislature to administer a labor camp inspection program conducted by the department of health. Disbursement from the fund shall be on authorization of the secretary of health or the secretary's designee. The fund is subject to the allotment procedure provided under chapter 43.88 RCW, but no appropriation is required for disbursements.
(2) There is imposed a fee on each operating license issued by the department of health to every operator of a labor camp that is regulated by the state board of health. The fee paid under this subsection shall include all necessary inspection of the units to ensure compliance with applicable state board of health rules on labor camps.
(a) Fifty dollars shall be charged for each labor camp containing six or less units.
(b) Seventy-five dollars shall be charged for each labor camp containing more than six units.
(3) The term of the operating license and the application procedures shall be established, by rule, by the department of health.
(4) The department of health shall establish a building permit fee schedule for temporary worker housing subject to chapter 70.114A RCW. The department of health shall develop rules to establish a fee schedule sufficient to cover the cost of all necessary plan reviews and on-site construction inspections of the temporary worker housing to ensure compliance with the codes developed under RCW 70.114A.080."

NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. The legislature intends to consolidate all services provided to children with developmental disabilities through the department of social and health services in the division of developmental disabilities.

The legislature intends by sections 6 through 9 of this act to minimize the embarrassment and inconvenience of children with developmental disabilities and their families caused by complying with these federal requirements.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 7. A new section is added to chapter 71A.10 RCW to read as follows:
It is the intent of the legislature that parents are responsible for the care and support of children with developmental disabilities. The legislature recognizes that, because of the intense support required to care for a child with developmental disabilities, the help of an out-of-home placement may be needed. It is the intent of the legislature that, when the sole reason for the out-of-home placement is the child's developmental disability, such services be offered by the department to these children and their families through a voluntary placement agreement. In these cases, the parents shall retain legal custody of the child.
As used in this section, "voluntary placement agreement" means a written agreement between the department and a child's legal guardian authorizing the department to place the child in a licensed facility. Under the terms of this agreement, the parent or legal guardian shall retain legal custody and the department shall be responsible for the child's placement and care. The agreement shall at a minimum specify the legal status of the child and the rights and obligations of the parent or legal guardian, the child, and the department while the child is in placement. The agreement must be signed by the child's parent and the department to be in effect.
As used in this section, "out-of-home placement" means the placement of a child in a facility licensed to care for children with developmental disabilities on a twenty-four hour basis.
Whenever the department places a child in out-of-home care under a voluntary placement pursuant to this section, the department shall have the responsibility for the child's placement and care. When a child remains in out-of-home care under a voluntary agreement for more than one hundred eighty days, the juvenile court shall make a judicial determination, within the first one hundred eighty days of the placement, that the placement is in the best interests of the child. In addition, the juvenile court shall hold a permanency planning hearing as specified in RCW 13.34.145 and thereafter as specified in federal law during the continuation of the placement. The permanency planning hearings shall review whether the child's best interests are served by continued out-of-home placement and determine the future status of the child.
The department shall provide for foster care citizen reviews or administrative reviews as required by federal law. A review may be called at any time by either the department or the parent.
The court may appoint a guardian ad litem if the court finds an independent investigation is needed to examine the best interests of the child.
Nothing in this section shall prevent the department from filing a dependency petition if the child is abused or neglected or the parents discontinue contact with the child.
The department shall adopt rules providing for the implementation of sections 8 and 9 of this act and the transfer of responsibility for out-of-home placements from the dependency process under chapter 13.34 RCW to the process under chapter 71A.10 RCW.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 8. Section 7 of this act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect immediately.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 9. A new section is added to chapter 71A.10 RCW to read as follows:
The department shall consolidate all services provided through the department to children with developmental disabilities in the division of developmental disabilities. The department shall provide for an orderly transfer of staff, equipment, and related responsibilities from the division of children and family services to the division of developmental disabilities. The division of developmental disabilities shall assume responsibilities for children with developmental disabilities under this section no later than March 1, 1998. Any disputes between the division of children and family services and the division of developmental disabilities regarding the transfer of responsibilities under this section shall be resolved by the secretary of the department of social and health services.

The secretary shall have the power and it shall be the secretary's duty:
(1) In consultation with the children's services advisory committee, and with the advice and assistance of persons representative of the various type agencies to be licensed, to designate categories of facilities for which separate or different requirements shall be developed as may be appropriate whether because of variations in the ages, sex and other characteristics of persons served, variations in the purposes and services offered or size or structure of the agencies to be licensed hereunder, or because of any other factor relevant thereto;
(2) In consultation with the children's services advisory committee, and with the advice and assistance of persons representative of the various type agencies to be licensed, to adopt and publish minimum requirements for licensing applicable to each of the various categories of agencies to be licensed.

In consultation with law enforcement personnel, the secretary shall investigate the conviction record or pending charges and dependency record information under chapter 43.43 RCW of each agency and its staff seeking licensure or relicensure. In order to determine the suitability of applicants for an agency license, licensees, their employees, and other persons who have unsupervised access to children in care, and who have not resided in the state of Washington during the three-year period before being authorized to care for children shall be fingerprinted. The fingerprints shall be forwarded to the Washington state patrol and federal bureau of investigation for a criminal history records check. The fingerprint criminal history records checks will be at the expense of the licensee except that in the case of a foster family home, if this expense would work a hardship on the licensee, the department shall pay the expense. The licensee may not pass this cost on to the employee or prospective employee, unless the employee is determined to be unsuitable due to his or her criminal history record. The secretary shall use the information solely for the purpose of determining eligibility for a license and for determining the character, suitability, and competence of those persons or agencies, excluding parents, not required to be licensed who are authorized to care for children, expectant mothers, and developmentally disabled persons. Criminal justice agencies shall provide the secretary such information as they may have and that the secretary may require for such purpose;

However, if a child is placed with a relative under RCW 13.34.060 or 13.34.130, and if such relative appears otherwise suitable and competent to provide care and treatment the criminal history background check required by this section need not be completed before placement, but shall be completed as soon as possible after placement;
(4) On reports of alleged child abuse and neglect, to investigate agencies in accordance with chapter 26.44 RCW, including child day-care centers and family day-care homes, to determine whether the alleged abuse or neglect has occurred, and whether child protective services or referral to a law enforcement agency is appropriate;

The making of permissive reports as allowed in RCW 74.34.030 does not create any duty to report and no civil liability shall attach for any failure to make a permissive report under RCW 74.34.030.
(2) Conduct conforming with the reporting and testifying provisions of this chapter shall not be deemed a violation of any confidential communication privilege. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as superseding or abridging remedies provided in chapter 4.92 RCW.

If the parents disagree with the agency's plan or any part thereof, the parents shall submit to the court at least twenty-four hours before the hearing, in writing, or signed oral statement, an alternative plan to correct the problems which led to the finding of dependency. This section shall not interfere with the right of the parents or custodians to submit oral arguments regarding the disposition plan at the hearing.
(2) In addition to the requirements set forth in subsection (1) of this section, a predisposition study to the court in cases of dependency alleged pursuant to RCW 13.34.030(((4))) (6) (b) or (c) shall contain the following information:

Sec. 29. RCW 13.34.180 and 1993 c 412 s 2 and 1993 c 358 s 3 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
A petition seeking termination of a parent and child relationship may be filed in juvenile court by any party to the dependency proceedings concerning that child. Such petition shall conform to the requirements of RCW 13.34.040, shall be served upon the parties as provided in RCW 13.34.070(8), and shall allege:
(1) That the child has been found to be a dependent child under RCW 13.34.030(((2))) (6); and
(2) That the court has entered a dispositional order pursuant to RCW 13.34.130; and
(3) That the child has been removed or will, at the time of the hearing, have been removed from the custody of the parent for a period of at least six months pursuant to a finding of dependency under RCW 13.34.030(((2))) (6); and
(4) That the services ordered under RCW 13.34.130 have been offered or provided and all necessary services, reasonably available, capable of correcting the parental deficiencies within the foreseeable future have been offered or provided; and
(5) That there is little likelihood that conditions will be remedied so that the child can be returned to the parent in the near future. In determining whether the conditions will be remedied the court may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors:
(a) Use of intoxicating or controlled substances so as to render the parent incapable of providing proper care for the child for extended periods of time and documented unwillingness of the parent to receive and complete treatment or documented multiple failed treatment attempts; or
(b) Psychological incapacity or mental deficiency of the parent that is so severe and chronic as to render the parent incapable of providing proper care for the child for extended periods of time, and documented unwillingness of the parent to receive and complete treatment or documentation that there is no treatment that can render the parent capable of providing proper care for the child in the near future; and
(6) That continuation of the parent and child relationship clearly diminishes the child's prospects for early integration into a stable and permanent home; or
(7) In lieu of the allegations in subsections (1) through (6) of this section, the petition may allege that the child was found under such circumstances that the whereabouts of the child's parent are unknown and no person has acknowledged paternity or maternity and requested custody of the child within two months after the child was found.
A parent's failure to substantially improve parental deficiencies within twelve months following entry of the dispositional order shall give rise to a rebuttable presumption that there is little likelihood that conditions will be remedied so that the child can be returned to the parent in the near future. The presumption shall not arise unless the petitioner makes a showing that all necessary services reasonably capable of correcting the parental deficiencies within the foreseeable future have been offered or provided.
Notice of rights shall be served upon the parent, guardian, or legal custodian with the petition and shall be in substantially the following form:
"NOTICE

The board shall issue its order within forty-five days of hearing the case unless there are extraordinary circumstances, in which case, an additional thirty days may elapse until the case is decided.
(3) In all appeals made pursuant to RCW 41.06.170(((3))) (4), as now or hereafter amended, the decision of the board is final and not appealable to court.

SSB 5715 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Health & Long-Term Care: Licensing orthotists and prosthetists. Reported by Committee on Health Care
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. It is the intent of the legislature that this act accomplish the following: Safeguard public health, safety, and welfare; protect the public from being mislead by unethical, ill-prepared, unscrupulous, and unauthorized persons; assure the highest degree of professional conduct on the part of orthotists and prosthetists; and assure the availability of orthotic and prosthetic services of high quality to persons in need of the services. The purpose of this act is to provide for the regulation of persons offering orthotic and prosthetic services to the public.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
(1) "Advisory committee" means the orthotics and prosthetics advisory committee.
(2) "Department" means the department of health.
(3) "Secretary" means the secretary of health or the secretary's designee.
(4) "Orthotics" means the science and practice of evaluating, measuring, designing, fabricating, assembling, fitting, adjusting, or servicing, as well as providing the initial training necessary to accomplish the fitting of, an orthosis for the support, correction, or alleviation of neuromuscular or musculoskeletal dysfunction, disease, injury, or deformity. The practice of orthotics encompasses evaluation, treatment, and consultation. With basic observational gait and postural analysis, orthotists assess and design orthoses to maximize function and provide not only the support but the alignment necessary to either prevent or correct deformity or to improve the safety and efficiency of mobility or locomotion, or both. Orthotic practice includes providing continuing patient care in order to assess its effect on the patient's tissues and to assure proper fit and function of the orthotic device by periodic evaluation.
(5) "Orthotist" means a person licensed to practice orthotics under this chapter.
(6) "Orthosis" means a custom-fabricated, definitive brace or support that is designed for long-term use. Except for the treatment of scoliosis, orthosis does not include prefabricated or direct-formed orthotic devices, as defined in this section, or any of the following assistive technology devices: Commercially available knee orthoses used following injury or surgery; spastic muscle tone-inhibiting orthoses; upper extremity adaptive equipment; finger splints; hand splints; custom-made, leather wrist gauntlets; face masks used following burns; wheelchair seating that is an integral part of the wheelchair and not worn by the patient independent of the wheelchair; fabric or elastic supports; corsets; arch supports, also known as foot orthotics; low-temperature formed plastic splints; trusses; elastic hose; canes; crutches; cervical collars; dental appliances; and other similar devices as determined by the secretary, such as those commonly carried in stock by a pharmacy, department store, corset shop, or surgical supply facility. Prefabricated orthoses, also known as custom-fitted, or off-the-shelf, are devices that are manufactured as commercially available stock items for no specific patient. Direct-formed orthoses are devices formed or shaped during the molding process directly on the patient's body or body segment. Custom-fabricated orthoses, also known as custom-made orthoses, are devices designed and fabricated, in turn, from raw materials for a specific patient and require the generation of an image, form, or mold that replicates the patient's body or body segment and, in turn, involves the rectification of dimensions, contours, and volumes to achieve proper fit, comfort, and function for that specific patient.
(7) "Prosthetics" means the science and practice of evaluating, measuring, designing, fabricating, assembling, fitting, aligning, adjusting, or servicing, as well as providing the initial training necessary to accomplish the fitting of, a prosthesis through the replacement of external parts of a human body lost due to amputation or congenital deformities or absences. The practice of prosthetics also includes the generation of an image, form, or mold that replicates the patient's body or body segment and that requires rectification of dimensions, contours, and volumes for use in the design and fabrication of a socket to accept a residual anatomic limb to, in turn, create an artificial appendage that is designed either to support body weight or to improve or restore function or cosmesis, or both. Involved in the practice of prosthetics is observational gait analysis and clinical assessment of the requirements necessary to refine and mechanically fix the relative position of various parts of the prosthesis to maximize the function, stability, and safety of the patient. The practice of prosthetics includes providing continuing patient care in order to assess the prosthetic device's effect on the patient's tissues and to assure proper fit and function of the prosthetic device by periodic evaluation.
(8) "Prosthetist" means a person who is licensed to practice prosthetics under this chapter.
(9) "Prosthesis" means a definitive artificial limb that is alignable or articulated, or, in lower extremity applications, capable of weight bearing. Prosthesis means an artificial medical device that is not surgically implanted and that is used to replace a missing limb, appendage, or other external human body part including an artificial limb, hand, or foot. The term does not include artificial eyes, ears, fingers or toes, dental appliances, ostomy products, devices such as artificial breasts, eyelashes, wigs, or other devices as determined by the secretary that do not have a significant impact on the musculoskeletal functions of the body. In the lower extremity of the body, the term prosthesis does not include prostheses required for amputations distal to and including the transmetatarsal level. In the upper extremity of the body, the term prosthesis does not include prostheses that are provided to restore function for amputations distal to and including the carpal level.
(10) "Authorized health care practitioner" means licensed physicians, physician's assistants, osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, naturopaths, podiatric physicians and surgeons, dentists, and advanced registered nurse practitioners.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. An orthotist or prosthetist may only provide treatment utilizing new orthoses or prostheses for which the orthotist or prosthetist is licensed to do so, and only under an order from or referral by an authorized health care practitioner. A consultation and periodic review by an authorized health care practitioner is not required for evaluation, repair, adjusting, or servicing of orthoses by a licensed orthotist and servicing of prostheses by a licensed prosthetist. Nor is an authorized health care practitioner's order required for maintenance of an orthosis or prosthesis to the level of its original prescription for an indefinite period of time if the order remains appropriate for the patient's medical needs.
Orthotists and prosthetists must refer persons under their care to authorized health care practitioners if they have reasonable cause to believe symptoms or conditions are present that require services beyond the scope of their practice or for which the prescribed orthotic or prosthetic treatment is contraindicated.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. No person may represent himself or herself as a licensed orthotist or prosthetist, use a title or description of services, or engage in the practice of orthotics or prosthetics without applying for licensure, meeting the required qualifications, and being licensed by the department of health, unless otherwise exempted by this chapter.
A person not licensed with the secretary must not represent himself or herself as being so licensed and may not use in connection with his or her name the words or letters "L.O.," "L.P.," or "L.P.O.," or other letters, words, signs, numbers, or insignia indicating or implying that he or she is either a licensed orthotist or a licensed prosthetist, or both. No person may practice orthotics or prosthetics without first having a valid license. The license must be posted in a conspicuous location at the person's work site.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit or restrict:
(1) The practice by individuals listed under RCW 18.130.040 and performing services within their authorized scopes of practice;
(2) The practice by an individual employed by the government of the United States while engaged in the performance of duties prescribed by the laws of the United States;

(4) A person fulfilling the supervised residency or internship experience requirements described in section 8 of this act, if the activities and services constitute a part of the experience necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter; or
(5) A person from performing orthotic or prosthetic services in this state if: (a) The services are performed for no more than ninety working days; and (b) the person is licensed in another state or has met commonly accepted standards for the practice of orthotics or prosthetics as determined by the secretary.

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. This chapter may be cited as the Uniform Motor Vehicle and Driver Records Disclosure Act.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The purpose of this chapter is to implement the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994 (Title XXX P.L. 103-322). The legislature finds that the people of the state of Washington recognize the public benefit derived from motor vehicle registration and titling, driver licensing, and the issuance of identification documentation, and that the people recognize the need to provide personal information to the state of Washington and its agencies in order to properly maintain records on these activities.
The legislature further finds that the people have a right to expect that personal information maintained in motor vehicle and driver records will be used only for purposes relating to the ownership or operation of a motor vehicle, for purposes of public safety, and as otherwise expressly required or permitted by law.
It is the intent of this act to protect the interests of individuals in their personal privacy by prohibiting the disclosure and use of personal information contained in their motor vehicle and driver records, except as authorized by those individuals or by law.

2SSB 5740 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Ways & Means: Assisting rural distressed areas. Reported by Committee on Trade & Economic Development
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. LEGISLATIVE RECOGNITION AND INTENT. The legislature recognizes the economic hardship that rural distressed areas throughout the state have undergone in recent years. Numerous rural distressed areas across the state have encountered serious economic downturns resulting in significant job loss and business failure. In 1991 the legislature enacted two major pieces of legislation to promote economic development and job creation, with particular emphasis on worker training, income, and emergency services support, along with community revitalization through planning services and infrastructure assistance. However even though these programs have been of assistance, rural distressed areas still face serious economic problems including: Above-average unemployment rates from job losses and below-average employment growth; low rate of business start-ups; and persistent erosion of vitally important resource-driven industries.
The legislature also recognizes that rural distressed areas in Washington have an abiding ability and consistent will to overcome these economic obstacles by building upon their historic foundations of business enterprise, local leadership, and outstanding work ethic.
The legislature intends to assist rural distressed areas in their ongoing efforts to address these difficult economic problems by providing a comprehensive and significant array of economic tools, necessary to harness the persistent and undaunted spirit of enterprise that resides in the citizens of rural distressed areas throughout the state.
The further intent of this act is to provide:
(1) A strategically designed plan of assistance, emphasizing state, local, and private sector leadership and partnership;
(2) A comprehensive and significant array of business assistance, services, and tax incentives that are accountable and performance driven;
(3) An array of community assistance including infrastructure development and business retention, attraction, and expansion programs that will provide a competitive advantage to rural distressed areas throughout Washington; and
(4) Regulatory relief to reduce and streamline zoning, permitting, and regulatory requirements in order to enhance the capability of businesses to grow and prosper in rural distressed areas.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. GOALS. The primary goals of chapter . . ., Laws of 1997 (this act) are to:
(1) Promote the ongoing operation of business in rural distressed areas;
(2) Promote the expansion of existing businesses in rural distressed areas;
(3) Attract new businesses to rural distressed areas;
(4) Assist in the development of new businesses from within rural distressed areas;
(5) Provide family wage jobs to the citizens of rural distressed areas; and
(6) Promote the development of communities of excellence in rural distressed areas.
PART I
BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 28C.04 RCW to read as follows:
JOB SKILLS/RURAL DISTRESSED AREA EMPLOYEE TRAINING. The work force training and education coordinating board shall give priority in the job skills program to assist businesses in rural distressed areas. For the purposes of this section, "rural distressed area" means the same as "rural natural resources impact area" under RCW 43.31.601.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. DEVELOPMENT LOAN FUND RECAPITALIZATION. The legislature finds that the development loan fund is a revolving loan fund capitalized primarily with federal funds. The fund, administered by the department of community, trade, and economic development, provides low-interest loans to businesses in economically distressed areas and other parts of the state. During the 1995-97 biennium, the department provided three million six hundred thousand dollars in loans, thereby exhausting its 1995-97 appropriation authority six months prior to the end of the biennium. However, due to early repayment of several loans, the account has an estimated fund balance of approximately one million seven hundred thousand dollars. In order to make the fund balance available for issuance of new loans prior to the end of the biennium, it is necessary to provide a supplemental appropriation.
Sec. 5. 1995 2nd sp.s. c 16 s 108 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

After receipt and consideration of the report set out in this subsection and after other action as is deemed appropriate, the application shall be approved or denied by the authority. The applicant shall be promptly notified of action by the authority.

SSB 5770 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Human Services & Corrections: Protecting child records. Reported by Committee on Children & Family Services
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds unacceptable laws that bar legitimate and appropriate inquiries about the activities of public agencies in abuse and neglect cases, for they frustrate the ability of the legislature to set informed policy and act in appropriate oversight capacity; impair the ability of independent government agencies to determine the effectiveness of services, staff, and funding; corrode public trust; and undermine the right of the public to determine whether abused and neglected children are being adequately protected.
The legislature therefore finds a compelling need to reform the confidentiality laws and declares its intent, by enactment of this act, to increase the capacity for oversight and monitoring of the child welfare system, to increase information available to the public, and to increase accountability among the agencies involved in the system.
The legislature finds that the privacy of children and their families in child abuse and neglect cases must be safeguarded, but that the interests of children, their families, and the public are best protected by increased knowledge and oversight concerning the system, and by greater accountability; and therefore declares that this privacy must be balanced with the appropriate release of information concerning these cases. When the child has died, the legislature finds that disclosure is strongly in the public interest.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. (1) Consistent with the provisions of chapter 42.17 RCW and applicable federal law, the secretary, or the secretary's designee, shall disclose information regarding the abuse or neglect of a child, the investigation of the abuse or neglect, and any services related to the abuse or neglect of a child if any one of the following factors is present:
(a) The subject of the report has been charged in an accusatory instrument with committing a crime related to a report maintained by the department in its case and management information system;
(b) The investigation of the abuse or neglect of the child by the department or the provision of services by the department has been publicly disclosed in a report required to be disclosed in the course of their official duties, by a law enforcement agency or official, a prosecuting attorney, any other state or local investigative agency or official, or by a judge of the superior court;
(c) There has been a prior knowing, voluntary public disclosure by an individual concerning a report of child abuse or neglect in which such individual is named as the subject of the report; or
(d) The child named in the report has died and the child's death resulted from abuse or neglect or the child was in the care of, or receiving services from the department at the time of death or within twelve months before death.
(2) The secretary is not required to disclose information if the factors in subsection (1) of this section are present if he or she specifically determines the disclosure is contrary to the best interests of the child, the child's siblings, or other children in the household.
(3) Except for cases in subsection (1)(d) of this section, requests for information under this section shall specifically identify the case about which information is sought and the facts that support a determination that one of the factors specified in subsection (1) of this section is present.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. For purposes of section 2 of this act, the following information shall be disclosable:
(1) The name of the abused or neglected child;
(2) The determination made by the department of the referrals, if any, for abuse or neglect;
(3) Identification of child protective or other services provided or actions, if any, taken regarding the child named in the report and his or her family as a result of any such report or reports. These records include but are not limited to administrative reports of fatality, fatality review reports, case files, inspection reports, and reports relating to social work practice issues; and
(4) Any actions taken by the department in response to reports of abuse or neglect of the child.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. In determining under section 2 of this act whether disclosure will be contrary to the best interests of the child, the secretary, or the secretary's designee, must consider the effects which disclosure may have on efforts to reunite and provide services to the family.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. For purposes of section 2(1)(d) of this act, the secretary must make the fullest possible disclosure consistent with chapter 42.17 RCW and applicable federal law in cases of all fatalities of children who were in the care of, or receiving services from, the department at the time of their death or within the twelve months previous to their death.
If the secretary specifically determines that disclosure of the name of the deceased child is contrary to the best interests of the child's siblings or other children in the household, the secretary may remove personally identifying information.
For the purposes of this section, "personally identifying information" means the name, street address, social security number, and day of birth of the child who died and of private persons who are relatives of the child named in child welfare records. "Personally identifying information" shall not include the month or year of birth of the child who has died. Once this personally identifying information is removed, the remainder of the records pertaining to a child who has died must be released regardless of whether the remaining facts in the records are embarrassing to the unidentifiable other private parties or to identifiable public workers who handled the case.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. Except as it applies directly to the cause of the abuse or neglect of the child and any actions taken by the department in response to reports of abuse or neglect of the child, nothing in sections 2 through 5 of this act is deemed to authorize the release or disclosure of the substance or content of any psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, clinical, or medical reports, evaluations, or like materials, or information pertaining to the child or the child's family.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 7. The department, when acting in good faith, is immune from any criminal or civil liability, except as provided under RCW 42.17.340, for any action taken under sections 1 through 6 of this act.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 8. If any part of this act is found to be in conflict with federal requirements that are a prescribed condition to the allocation of federal funds to the state, the conflicting part of this act is inoperative solely to the extent of the conflict and with respect to the agencies directly affected, and this finding does not affect the operation of the remainder of this act in its application to the agencies concerned. Rules adopted under this act must meet federal requirements that are a necessary condition to the receipt of federal funds by the state.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 9. Sections 1 through 7 of this act are each added to chapter 74.13 RCW."

SSB 5783 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Agriculture & Environment: Changing provisions relating to public water systems. Reported by Committee on Agriculture & Ecology
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that it is in the public interest for water rights held by public water systems to be managed and regulated in a manner that:
(1) Allows such systems to prolong and maximize the use of water rights applied to municipal purposes consistent with the population demand projections established in state-approved water system plans and adopted growth management plans; and
(2) Promotes water conservation, with enhanced efforts occurring in water critical areas, promotes water system efficiencies, and eliminates disincentives for investments in water efficient technologies.
The department of ecology is therefore directed to administer water rights laws consistent with RCW 90.03.320 and 90.03.330 and section 2 of this act.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 90.03 RCW to read as follows:
(1) For the purposes of this chapter and RCW 90.14.140, "municipal water supply purposes" means water distributed by a group A public water system as defined by RCW 70.119.020, and includes domestic, commercial, and industrial water uses provided as an integral element of the public water system and includes industrial water uses provided on the effective date of this act under RCW 54.16.030 which are included in a comprehensive water system plan. Except as stated above, this definition does not include commercial, industrial, irrigation, or other water systems that are not designated as a public water system for potable water use recognized by a state-approved public water system plan or withdrawals of public ground waters exempt from permit requirements under RCW 90.44.050.
(2) For the purposes of RCW 90.14.140, the amount of water held for municipal water supply purposes is limited to the water that is deemed to be an efficient use and that meets the needs of the public water system's service area as determined by plans in RCW 90.03.320. Water uses that are deemed as efficient uses of water are those that are in full compliance with the department of health's conservation guidelines for such systems. This section applies only to those public water systems that are required to develop water conservation plans pursuant to the department of health's conservation guidelines.
Sec. 3. RCW 90.03.320 and 1987 c 109 s 67 are each amended to read as follows:
Actual construction work shall be commenced on any project for which permit has been granted within such reasonable time as shall be prescribed by the department, and shall thereafter be prosecuted with diligence and completed within the time prescribed by the department. The department, in fixing the time for the commencement of the work, or for the completion thereof and the application of the water to the beneficial use prescribed in the permit, shall take into consideration the cost and magnitude of the project and the engineering and physical features to be encountered, and shall allow such time as shall be reasonable and just under the conditions then existing, having due regard for the public welfare and public interests affected: and, for good cause shown, it shall extend the time or times fixed as aforesaid, and shall grant such further period or periods as may be reasonably necessary, having due regard to the good faith of the applicant and the public interests affected. In fixing construction schedules and the time, or extension of time, for application of water to beneficial use for municipal water supply purposes, the department shall also take into consideration the term and amount of financing required to complete the project, delays that may result from planned and existing conservation and water use efficiency measures implemented by the public water system, and the supply needs of the public water system's service area, consistent with an approved comprehensive plan under chapter 36.70A RCW, or in the absence of such a plan, a county-approved comprehensive plan under chapter 36.70 RCW or a plan approved under chapter 35.63 RCW, and related water demand projections prepared by public water systems in accordance with state law. An existing comprehensive plan under chapter 36.70A or 36.70 RCW, plan under chapter 35.63 RCW, or demand projection may be used. If the terms of the permit or extension thereof, are not complied with the department shall give notice by registered mail that such permit will be canceled unless the holders thereof shall show cause within sixty days why the same should not be so canceled. If cause ((be)) is not shown, ((said)) the permit shall be canceled.
Sec. 4. RCW 90.03.330 and 1987 c 109 s 89 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Upon a showing satisfactory to the department that any appropriation has been perfected in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, it shall be the duty of the department to issue to the applicant a certificate stating such facts in a form to be prescribed by ((him)) the director, and such certificate shall thereupon be recorded with the department.
(2) For those public water supplies that fulfill municipal water supply purposes and are designed to accommodate future growth as defined by a state-approved water system plan, the amount of instantaneous diversion or withdrawal considered to be applied to beneficial use at the time of perfection of the certificate shall be based upon the design capacity of the diversion structures and mainlines or withdrawal facilities and mainlines installed at such time. Further, the amount of annual appropriation considered to be applied to beneficial use at the time of perfection shall be based on the growth projection contained in the most current state-approved water system plan. However, the department may not issue a certificate for quantities of water in excess of those contained in a permit if a permit has been issued. This subsection shall apply to the administration of water rights existing on the effective date of this section and prospectively issued water rights, but shall not apply to water rights subject to the terms of final adjudication decrees entered in accordance with this chapter. Withdrawal of ground water shall be in compliance with RCW 90.44.100.
(3) Any original water right certificate issued, as provided by this chapter, shall be recorded with the department and thereafter, at the expense of the party receiving the same, be by the department transmitted to the county auditor of the county or counties where the distributing system or any part thereof is located, and be recorded in the office of such county auditor, and thereafter be transmitted to the owner thereof."

SSB 5785 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Agriculture & Environment: Providing for consolidation of ground water rights of exempt wells. Reported by Committee on Agriculture & Ecology
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 90.44 RCW to read as follows:
Upon the issuance by the department of an amendment to the appropriate permit or certificate of ground water right, the holder of a valid right to withdraw public ground waters may consolidate that right with a ground water right exempt from the permit requirement under RCW 90.44.050, without affecting the priority of either of the water rights being consolidated. Such a consolidation amendment shall be issued only after publication of a notice of the application, a comment period, and a determination made by the department, in lieu of meeting the conditions required for an amendment under RCW 90.44.100, that: (1) The exempt well taps the same body of public ground water as the well to which the water right of the exempt well is to be consolidated; (2) use of the exempt well shall be discontinued upon approval of the consolidation amendment to the permit or certificate; (3) legally enforceable agreements have been entered to prohibit the construction of another exempt well to serve the area previously served by the exempt well to be discontinued, and such agreements are binding upon subsequent owners of the land through appropriate binding limitations on the title to the land; (4) the exempt well or wells the use of which is to be discontinued will be properly decommissioned in accordance with chapter 18.104 RCW and the rules of the department; and (5) other existing rights, including ground and surface water rights and minimum stream flows adopted by rule, shall not be impaired. The notice shall be published by the applicant in a newspaper of general circulation in the county or counties in which the wells for the rights to be consolidated are located once a week for two consecutive weeks. The applicant shall provide evidence of the publication of the notice to the department. The comment period shall be for thirty days beginning on the date the second notice is published.
The amount of the water to be added to the holder's permit or certificate upon discontinuance of the exempt well shall be the average withdrawal from the well, in gallons per day, for the most recent five-year period preceding the date of the application, except that the amount shall not be less than eight hundred gallons per day for each residential connection or such alternative minimum amount as may be established by the department in consultation with the department of health, and shall not exceed five thousand gallons per day. The department shall presume that an amount identified by the applicant as being the average withdrawal from the well during the most recent five-year period is accurate if the applicant establishes that the amount identified for the use or uses of water from the exempt well is consistent with the average amount of water used for similar use or uses in the general area in which the exempt well is located. The department shall develop, in consultation with the department of health, a schedule of average household and small-area landscaping water usages in various regions of the state to aid the department and applicants in identifying average amounts used for these purposes. The presumption does not apply if the department finds credible evidence of nonuse of the well during the required period or credible evidence that the use of water from the exempt well or the intensity of the use of the land supported by water from the exempt well is substantially different than such uses in the general area in which the exempt well is located. The department shall also accord a presumption in favor of approval of such consolidation if the requirements of this subsection are met and the discontinuance of the exempt well is consistent with an adopted coordinated water system plan under chapter 70.116 RCW, an adopted comprehensive land use plan under chapter 36.70A RCW, or other comprehensive watershed management plan applicable to the area containing an objective of decreasing the number of existing and newly developed small ground water withdrawal wells. The department shall provide a priority to reviewing and deciding upon applications subject to this subsection, and shall make its decision within sixty days of the end of the comment period following publication of the notice by the applicant or within sixty days of the date on which compliance with the state environmental policy act, chapter 43.21C RCW, is completed, whichever is later. The applicant and the department may by prior mutual agreement extend the time for making a decision."

The words "public utility" when used in this chapter ((shall have)) has the same meaning as the words "system of sewerage."
Sec. 8. RCW 35.67.020 and 1995 c 124 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
Every city and town may construct, condemn and purchase, acquire, add to, maintain, conduct, and operate systems of sewerage and systems and plants for refuse collection and disposal together with additions, extensions, and betterments thereto, within and without its limits, with full jurisdiction and authority to manage, regulate, and control them and to fix, alter, regulate, and control the rates and charges for their use. The rates charged must be uniform for the same class of customers or service and facilities furnished.
In classifying customers served or service and facilities furnished by such system of sewerage, the city or town legislative body may in its discretion consider any or all of the following factors: (1) The difference in cost of service and facilities to the various customers; (2) the location of the various customers within and without the city or town; (3) the difference in cost of maintenance, operation, repair, and replacement of the various parts of the system; (4) the different character of the service and facilities furnished various customers; (5) the quantity and quality of the sewage delivered and the time of its delivery; (6) the achievement of water conservation goals and the discouragement of wasteful water use practices; (7) capital contributions made to the system, including but not limited to, assessments; (8) the nonprofit public benefit status, as defined in RCW 24.03.490, of the land user; and (9) any other matters which present a reasonable difference as a ground for distinction. Rates or charges may not be imposed under this chapter on the development, construction, or reconstruction of property.
A city or town may provide assistance to aid low-income persons in connection with services provided under this chapter.
Under this chapter, after July 1, 1998, any requirements for pumping the septic tank of an on-site sewage system should be based, among other things, on actual measurement of accumulation of sludge and scum by a trained inspector, trained owner's agent, or trained owner. Training must occur in a program approved by the state board of health or by a local health officer.
Before adopting on-site inspection and maintenance utility services, or incorporating residences into an on-site inspection and maintenance or sewer utility under this chapter, notification must be provided, prior to the applicable public hearing, to all residences within the proposed service area that have on-site systems permitted by the local health officer. The notice must clearly state that the residence is within the proposed service area and must provide information on estimated rates or charges that may be imposed for the service.
A city or town shall not provide on-site sewage system inspection, pumping services, or other maintenance or repair services under this section using city or town employees unless the on-site system is connected by a publicly owned collection system to the city or town's sewerage system, and the on-site system represents the first step in the sewage disposal process. Nothing in this section shall affect the authority of state or local health officers to carry out their responsibilities under any other applicable law.
Sec. 9. RCW 35.92.020 and 1995 c 124 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:
A city or town may construct, condemn and purchase, purchase, acquire, add to, alter, maintain, and operate systems, plants, sites, or other facilities of sewerage as defined in RCW 35.67.010, or solid waste handling as defined by RCW 70.95.030, and shall have full authority to manage, regulate, operate, control, and to fix the price of service and facilities of those systems, plants, sites, or other facilities within and without the limits of the city or town. The rates charged shall be uniform for the same class of customers or service and facilities. In classifying customers served or service and facilities furnished by a system or systems of sewerage, the legislative authority of the city or town may in its discretion consider any or all of the following factors: (1) The difference in cost of service and facilities to customers; (2) the location of customers within and without the city or town; (3) the difference in cost of maintenance, operation, repair, and replacement of the parts of the system; (4) the different character of the service and facilities furnished to customers; (5) the quantity and quality of the sewage delivered and the time of its delivery; (6) capital contributions made to the systems, plants, sites, or other facilities, including but not limited to, assessments; (7) the nonprofit public benefit status, as defined in RCW 24.03.490, of the land user; and (8) any other factors that present a reasonable difference as a ground for distinction. Rates or charges may not be imposed under this chapter on the development, construction, or reconstruction of property.
A city or town may provide assistance to aid low-income persons in connection with services provided under this chapter.
Under this chapter, after July 1, 1998, any requirements for pumping the septic tank of an on-site sewage system should be based, among other things, on actual measurement of accumulation of sludge and scum by a trained inspector, trained owner's agent, or trained owner. Training must occur in a program approved by the state board of health or by a local health officer.
Before adopting on-site inspection and maintenance utility services, or incorporating residences into an on-site inspection and maintenance or sewer utility under this chapter, notification must be provided, prior to the applicable public hearing, to all residences within the proposed service area that have on-site systems permitted by the local health officer. The notice must clearly state that the residence is within the proposed service area and must provide information on estimated rates or charges that may be imposed for the service.
A city or town shall not provide on-site sewage system inspection, pumping services, or other maintenance or repair services under this section using city or town employees unless the on-site system is connected by a publicly owned collection system to the city or town's sewerage system, and the on-site system represents the first step in the sewage disposal process. Nothing in this section shall affect the authority of state or local health officers to carry out their responsibilities under any other applicable law.
Sec. 10. RCW 36.94.010 and 1981 c 313 s 14 are each amended to read as follows:

The ownership of a private utility may be in a corporation, nonprofit or for profit, in a cooperative association, in a mutual organization, or in individuals.
(6) "Board" means one or more boards of county commissioners and/or the legislative authority of a home rule charter county.
Sec. 11. RCW 36.94.020 and 1981 c 313 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
The construction, operation, and maintenance of a system of sewerage and/or water is a county purpose. Subject to the provisions of this chapter, every county has the power, individually or in conjunction with another county or counties to adopt, provide for, accept, establish, condemn, purchase, construct, add to, operate, and maintain a system or systems of sanitary and storm sewers, including outfalls, interceptors, plans, and facilities and services necessary for sewerage treatment and disposal, and/or system or systems of water supply within all or a portion of the county((: PROVIDED, That)). However, counties shall not have power to condemn sewerage and/or water systems of any municipal corporation or private utility.
Such county or counties shall have the authority to control, regulate, operate, and manage such system or systems and to provide funds therefor by general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, local improvement district bonds, utility local improvement district or local improvement district assessments, and in any other lawful fiscal manner. Rates or charges may not be imposed under this chapter on the development, construction, or reconstruction of property.
Under this chapter, after July 1, 1998, any requirements for pumping the septic tank of an on-site sewage system should be based, among other things, on actual measurement of accumulation of sludge and scum by a trained inspector, trained owner's agent, or trained owner. Training must occur in a program approved by the state board of health or by a local health officer.
Before adopting on-site inspection and maintenance utility services, or incorporating residences into an on-site inspection and maintenance or sewer utility under this chapter, notification must be provided, prior to the applicable public hearing, to all residences within the proposed service area that have on-site systems permitted by the local health officer. The notice must clearly state that the residence is within the proposed service area and must provide information on estimated rates or charges that may be imposed for the service.
A county shall not provide on-site sewage system inspection, pumping services, or other maintenance or repair services under this section using county employees unless the on-site system is connected by a publicly owned collection system to the county's sewerage system, and the on-site system represents the first step in the sewage disposal process. Nothing in this section shall affect the authority of a state or local health officer to carry out their responsibilities under any other applicable law.
A county may, as part of a system of sewerage established under this chapter, provide for, finance, and operate any of the facilities and services and may exercise the powers expressly authorized for county storm water, flood control, pollution prevention, and drainage services and activities under chapters 36.89, 86.12, 86.13, and 86.15 RCW. A county also may provide for, finance, and operate the facilities and services and may exercise any of the powers authorized for aquifer protection areas under chapter 36.36 RCW; for lake management districts under chapter 36.61 RCW; for diking districts, and diking, drainage, and sewerage improvement districts under chapters 85.05, 85.08, 85.15, 85.16, and 85.18 RCW; and for shellfish protection districts under chapter 90.72 RCW. However, if a county by reference to any of those statutes assumes as part of its system of sewerage any powers granted to such areas or districts and not otherwise available to a county under this chapter, then (1) the procedures and restrictions applicable to those areas or districts apply to the county's exercise of those powers, and (2) the county may not simultaneously impose rates and charges under this chapter and under the statutes authorizing such areas or districts for substantially the same facilities and services, but must instead impose uniform rates and charges consistent with RCW 36.94.140. By agreement with such an area or district that is not part of a county's system of sewerage, a county may operate that area's or district's services or facilities, but a county may not dissolve any existing area or district except in accordance with any applicable provisions of the statute under which that area or district was created.
Sec. 12. RCW 36.94.140 and 1995 c 124 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
Every county, in the operation of a system of sewerage and/or water, shall have full jurisdiction and authority to manage, regulate, and control it and to fix, alter, regulate, and control the rates and charges for the service and facilities to those to whom such ((county)) service ((is)) and facilities are available, and to levy charges for connection to the system. The rates for availability of service and facilities, and connection charges so charged must be uniform for the same class of customers or service and facility.
In classifying customers served, service furnished or made available by such system of sewerage and/or water, or the connection charges, the county legislative authority may consider any or all of the following factors:
(1) The difference in cost of service to the various customers within or without the area;
(2) The difference in cost of maintenance, operation, repair and replacement of the various parts of the systems;
(3) The different character of the service and facilities furnished various customers;
(4) The quantity and quality of the sewage and/or water delivered and the time of its delivery;
(5) Capital contributions made to the system or systems, including, but not limited to, assessments;
(6) The cost of acquiring the system or portions of the system in making system improvements necessary for the public health and safety;
(7) The nonprofit public benefit status, as defined in RCW 24.03.490, of the land user; and
(8) Any other matters which present a reasonable difference as a ground for distinction.
A county may provide assistance to aid low-income persons in connection with services provided under this chapter.
The service charges and rates shall produce revenues sufficient to take care of the costs of maintenance and operation, revenue bond and warrant interest and principal amortization requirements, and all other charges necessary for the efficient and proper operation of the system.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 13. A new section is added to chapter 35.58 RCW to read as follows:
A metropolitan municipal corporation authorized to perform water pollution abatement may exercise all the powers relating to systems of sewerage authorized by RCW 36.94.010, 36.94.020, and 36.94.140 for counties.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 14. A new section is added to chapter 35.21 RCW to read as follows:
The legislative authority of any city or town may exercise all the powers relating to systems of sewerage authorized by RCW 35.67.010 and 35.67.020.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 15. A new section is added to chapter 53.08 RCW to read as follows:
A port district may exercise all the powers relating to systems of sewerage authorized by RCW 54.16.230 for public utility districts.
Sec. 16. RCW 54.16.230 and 1975 1st ex.s. c 57 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
A public utility district may acquire, construct, operate, maintain, and add to sewage systems, subject to and in compliance with the county comprehensive plan, under the general powers of Title 54 RCW or through the formation of local utility districts as provided in RCW 54.16.120 through 54.16.170((: PROVIDED, That)). However, prior to engaging in ((any sewage system works)) the acquisition, construction, or expansion of on-site or off-site sewerage facilities, except for public restroom and sanitary facilities, as authorized by this section, the voters of the public utility district shall first approve by majority vote a referendum proposition authorizing such district to exercise ((the)) those powers ((set forth in this section)) related to the acquisition, construction, or expansion of such facilities, which proposition shall be presented at a general election. A sewage system may include any or all of the following:
(1) Sanitary sewage collection, treatment, and/or disposal facilities and services, including without limitation on-site or off-site sewerage facilities, inspection services and maintenance services for public or private on-site systems, or any other means of sewage treatment and disposal;
(2) Point and nonpoint water pollution monitoring programs that are directly related to the sewerage facilities and programs operated by a public utility district; and
(3) Public restroom and sanitary facilities. Rates or charges may not be imposed under this chapter on the development, construction, or reconstruction of property.
A public utility district may provide assistance to aid low-income persons in connection with services provided under this section.
Under this chapter, after July 1, 1998, any requirements for pumping the septic tank of an on-site sewage system should be based, among other things, on actual measurement of accumulation of sludge and scum by a trained inspector, trained owner's agent, or trained owner. Training must occur in a program approved by the state board of health or by a local health officer.
Before adopting on-site inspection and maintenance utility services, or incorporating residences into an on-site inspection and maintenance or sewer utility under this chapter, notification must be provided, prior to the applicable public hearing, to all residences within the proposed service area that have on-site systems permitted by the local health officer. The notice must clearly state that the residence is within the proposed service area and must provide information on estimated rates or charges that may be imposed for the service.
A public utility district shall not provide on-site sewage system inspection, pumping services, or other maintenance or repair services under this section using public utility district employees unless the on-site system is connected by a publicly owned collection system to the public utility district's sewerage system, and the on-site system represents the first step in the sewage disposal process. Nothing in this section shall affect the authority of state or local health officers to carry out their responsibilities under any other applicable law. A public utility district that provided inspection, pumping services, or other maintenance or repair services with its own employees prior to January 1, 1997, may continue to use its employees to provide that service.
Sec. 17. RCW 54.16.240 and 1975 1st ex.s. c 57 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
The commission of a public utility district, by resolution may, or on petition in the same manner as provided for the creation of a district under RCW 54.08.010 shall, submit to the voters for their approval or rejection the proposal that ((said)) the public utility district be authorized to exercise the powers set forth in RCW 54.16.230 for which an election is required.
Sec. 18. RCW 57.08.005 and 1996 c 230 s 301 are each amended to read as follows:
A district shall have the following powers:
(1) To acquire by purchase or condemnation, or both, all lands, property and property rights, and all water and water rights, both within and without the district, necessary for its purposes. The right of eminent domain shall be exercised in the same manner and by the same procedure as provided for cities and towns, insofar as consistent with this title, except that all assessment or reassessment rolls to be prepared and filed by eminent domain commissioners or commissioners appointed by the court shall be prepared and filed by the district, and the duties devolving upon the city treasurer are imposed upon the county treasurer;
(2) To lease real or personal property necessary for its purposes for a term of years for which that leased property may reasonably be needed;
(3) To construct, condemn and purchase, add to, maintain, and supply waterworks to furnish the district and inhabitants thereof and any other persons, both within and without the district, with an ample supply of water for all uses and purposes public and private with full authority to regulate and control the use, content, distribution, and price thereof in such a manner as is not in conflict with general law and may construct, acquire, or own buildings and other necessary district facilities. Where a customer connected to the district's system uses the water on an intermittent or transient basis, a district may charge for providing water service to such a customer, regardless of the amount of water, if any, used by the customer. District waterworks may include facilities which result in combined water supply and electric generation, if the electricity generated thereby is a byproduct of the water supply system. That electricity may be used by the district or sold to any entity authorized by law to use or distribute electricity. Electricity is deemed a byproduct when the electrical generation is subordinate to the primary purpose of water supply. For such purposes, a district may take, condemn and purchase, acquire, and retain water from any public or navigable lake, river or watercourse, or any underflowing water, and by means of aqueducts or pipeline conduct the same throughout the district and any city or town therein and carry it along and upon public highways, roads, and streets, within and without such district. For the purpose of constructing or laying aqueducts or pipelines, dams, or waterworks or other necessary structures in storing and retaining water or for any other lawful purpose such district may occupy the beds and shores up to the high water mark of any such lake, river, or other watercourse, and may acquire by purchase or condemnation such property or property rights or privileges as may be necessary to protect its water supply from pollution. For the purposes of waterworks which include facilities for the generation of electricity as a byproduct, nothing in this section may be construed to authorize a district to condemn electric generating, transmission, or distribution rights or facilities of entities authorized by law to distribute electricity, or to acquire such rights or facilities without the consent of the owner;
(4) To purchase and take water from any municipal corporation, private person, or entity. A district contiguous to Canada may contract with a Canadian corporation for the purchase of water and for the construction, purchase, maintenance, and supply of waterworks to furnish the district and inhabitants thereof and residents of Canada with an ample supply of water under the terms approved by the board of commissioners;
(5) To construct, condemn and purchase, add to, maintain, and operate systems of sewers for the purpose of furnishing the district, the inhabitants thereof, and persons outside the district with an adequate system of sewers for all uses and purposes, public and private, including but not limited to on-site sewage disposal facilities, approved septic tanks or approved septic tank systems, on-site sanitary sewerage systems, inspection services and maintenance services for private and public on-site systems, point and nonpoint water pollution monitoring programs that are directly related to the sewerage facilities and programs operated by a district, other facilities, programs, and systems for the collection, interception, treatment, and disposal of wastewater, and for the control of pollution from wastewater and for the protection, preservation, and rehabilitation of surface and underground waters, facilities for the drainage and treatment of storm or surface waters, public highways, streets, and roads with full authority to regulate the use and operation thereof and the service rates to be charged. Under this chapter, after July 1, 1998, any requirements for pumping the septic tank of an on-site sewage system should be based, among other things, on actual measurement of accumulation of sludge and scum by a trained inspector, trained owner's agent, or trained owner. Training must occur in a program approved by the state board of health or by a local health officer. Sewage facilities may include facilities which result in combined sewage disposal, treatment, or drainage and electric generation, except that the electricity generated thereby is a byproduct of the system of sewers. Such electricity may be used by the district or sold to any entity authorized by law to distribute electricity. Electricity is deemed a byproduct when the electrical generation is subordinate to the primary purpose of sewage disposal, treatment, or drainage. For such purposes a district may conduct sewage throughout the district and throughout other political subdivisions within the district, and construct and lay sewer pipe along and upon public highways, roads, and streets, within and without the district, and condemn and purchase or acquire land and rights of way necessary for such sewer pipe. A district may erect sewage treatment plants within or without the district, and may acquire, by purchase or condemnation, properties or privileges necessary to be had to protect any lakes, rivers, or watercourses and also other areas of land from pollution from its sewers or its sewage treatment plant. For the purposes of sewage facilities which include facilities that result in combined sewage disposal, treatment, or drainage and electric generation where the electric generation is a byproduct, nothing in this section may be construed to authorize a district to condemn electric generating, transmission, or distribution rights or facilities of entities authorized by law to distribute electricity, or to acquire such rights or facilities without the consent of the owners;
(6) To construct, condemn, acquire, and own buildings and other necessary district facilities;
(7) To compel all property owners within the district located within an area served by the district's system of sewers to connect their private drain and sewer systems with the district's system under such penalty as the commissioners shall prescribe by resolution. The district may for such purpose enter upon private property and connect the private drains or sewers with the district system and the cost thereof shall be charged against the property owner and shall be a lien upon property served;
(8) Where a district contains within its borders, abuts, or is located adjacent to any lake, stream, ground water as defined by RCW 90.44.035, or other waterway within the state of Washington, to provide for the reduction, minimization, or elimination of pollutants from those waters in accordance with the district's comprehensive plan, and to issue general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, local improvement district bonds, or utility local improvement bonds for the purpose of paying all or any part of the cost of reducing, minimizing, or eliminating the pollutants from these waters;
(9) To fix rates and charges for water, sewer, and drain service supplied and to charge property owners seeking to connect to the district's systems, as a condition to granting the right to so connect, in addition to the cost of the connection, such reasonable connection charge as the board of commissioners shall determine to be proper in order that those property owners shall bear their equitable share of the cost of the system. For the purposes of calculating a connection charge, the board of commissioners shall determine the pro rata share of the cost of existing facilities and facilities planned for construction within the next ten years and contained in an adopted comprehensive plan and other costs borne by the district which are directly attributable to the improvements required by property owners seeking to connect to the system. The cost of existing facilities shall not include those portions of the system which have been donated or which have been paid for by grants. The connection charge may include interest charges applied from the date of construction of the system until the connection, or for a period not to exceed ten years, whichever is shorter, at a rate commensurate with the rate of interest applicable to the district at the time of construction or major rehabilitation of the system, or at the time of installation of the lines to which the property owner is seeking to connect. A district may permit payment of the cost of connection and the reasonable connection charge to be paid with interest in installments over a period not exceeding fifteen years. The county treasurer may charge and collect a fee of three dollars for each year for the treasurer's services. Those fees shall be a charge to be included as part of each annual installment, and shall be credited to the county current expense fund by the county treasurer. Revenues from connection charges excluding permit fees are to be considered payments in aid of construction as defined by department of revenue rule. Rates or charges may not be imposed under this chapter on the development, construction, or reconstruction of property.
Before adopting on-site inspection and maintenance utility services, or incorporating residences into an on-site inspection and maintenance or sewer utility under this chapter, notification must be provided, prior to the applicable public hearing, to all residences within the proposed service area that have on-site systems permitted by the local health officer. The notice must clearly state that the residence is within the proposed service area and must provide information on estimated rates or charges that may be imposed for the service.
A water-sewer district shall not provide on-site sewage system inspection, pumping services, or other maintenance or repair services under this section using water-sewer district employees unless the on-site system is connected by a publicly owned collection system to the water-sewer district's sewerage system, and the on-site system represents the first step in the sewage disposal process.
Except as otherwise provided in RCW 90.03.525, any public entity and public property, including the state of Washington and state property, shall be subject to rates and charges for sewer, water, storm water control, drainage, and street lighting facilities to the same extent private persons and private property are subject to those rates and charges that are imposed by districts. In setting those rates and charges, consideration may be made of in-kind services, such as stream improvements or donation of property;
(10) To contract with individuals, associations and corporations, the state of Washington, and the United States;
(11) To employ such persons as are needed to carry out the district's purposes and fix salaries and any bond requirements for those employees;
(12) To contract for the provision of engineering, legal, and other professional services as in the board of commissioner's discretion is necessary in carrying out their duties;
(13) To sue and be sued;
(14) To loan and borrow funds and to issue bonds and instruments evidencing indebtedness under chapter 57.20 RCW and other applicable laws;
(15) To transfer funds, real or personal property, property interests, or services subject to RCW 57.08.015;
(16) To levy taxes in accordance with this chapter and chapters 57.04 and 57.20 RCW;
(17) To provide for making local improvements and to levy and collect special assessments on property benefitted thereby, and for paying for the same or any portion thereof in accordance with chapter 57.16 RCW;
(18) To establish street lighting systems under RCW 57.08.060;
(19) To exercise such other powers as are granted to water-sewer districts by this title or other applicable laws; and
(20) To exercise any of the powers granted to cities and counties with respect to the acquisition, construction, maintenance, operation of, and fixing rates and charges for waterworks and systems of sewerage and drainage.
Sec. 19. RCW 57.08.065 and 1996 c 230 s 313 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) A district shall have power to establish, maintain, and operate a mutual water, ((sewer)) sewerage, drainage, and street lighting system, a mutual system of any two or three of the systems, or separate systems.
(2) Where any two or more districts include the same territory as of July 1, 1997, none of the overlapping districts may provide any service that was made available by any of the other districts prior to July 1, 1997, within the overlapping territory without the consent by resolution of the board of commissioners of the other district or districts.
(3) A district that was a water district prior to July 1, 1997, that did not operate a ((sewer)) system of sewerage prior to July 1, 1997, may not proceed to exercise the powers to establish, maintain, construct, and operate any ((sewer)) system of sewerage without first obtaining written approval and certification of necessity from the department of ecology and department of health. Any comprehensive plan for a system of sewers or addition thereto or betterment thereof proposed by a district that was a water district prior to July 1, 1997, shall be approved by the same county and state officials as were required to approve such plans adopted by a sewer district immediately prior to July 1, 1997, and as subsequently may be required.
Sec. 20. RCW 57.16.010 and 1996 c 230 s 501 are each amended to read as follows:
Before ordering any improvements or submitting to vote any proposition for incurring any indebtedness, the district commissioners shall adopt a general comprehensive plan for the type or types of facilities the district proposes to provide. A district may prepare a separate general comprehensive plan for each of these services and other services that districts are permitted to provide, or the district may combine any or all of its comprehensive plans into a single general comprehensive plan.
(1) For a general comprehensive plan of a water supply system, the commissioners shall investigate the several portions and sections of the district for the purpose of determining the present and reasonably foreseeable future needs thereof; shall examine and investigate, determine, and select a water supply or water supplies for such district suitable and adequate for present and reasonably foreseeable future needs thereof; and shall consider and determine a general system or plan for acquiring such water supply or water supplies, and the lands, waters, and water rights and easements necessary therefor, and for retaining and storing any such waters, and erecting dams, reservoirs, aqueducts, and pipe lines to convey the same throughout such district. There may be included as part of the system the installation of fire hydrants at suitable places throughout the district. The commissioners shall determine a general comprehensive plan for distributing such water throughout such portion of the district as may then reasonably be served by means of subsidiary aqueducts and pipe lines, and a long-term plan for financing the planned projects and the method of distributing the cost and expense thereof, including the creation of local improvement districts or utility local improvement districts, and shall determine whether the whole or part of the cost and expenses shall be paid from revenue or general obligation bonds.
(2) For a general comprehensive plan for a sewer system, the commissioners shall investigate all portions and sections of the district and select a general comprehensive plan for a sewer system for the district suitable and adequate for present and reasonably foreseeable future needs thereof. The general comprehensive plan shall provide for treatment plants and other methods and services, if any, for the prevention, control, and reduction of water pollution and for the treatment and disposal of sewage and industrial and other liquid wastes now produced or which may reasonably be expected to be produced within the district and shall, for such portions of the district as may then reasonably be served, provide for the acquisition or construction and installation of laterals, trunk sewers, intercepting sewers, syphons, pumping stations or other sewage collection facilities, septic tanks, septic tank systems or drainfields, and systems for the transmission and treatment of wastewater. The general comprehensive plan shall provide a long-term plan for financing the planned projects and the method of distributing the cost and expense of the sewer system and services, including the creation of local improvement districts or utility local improvement districts; and provide whether the whole or some part of the cost and expenses shall be paid from revenue or general obligation bonds.

The general comprehensive plan shall be approved, conditionally approved, or rejected by the director of health and by the designated engineer within sixty days of their respective receipt of the plan. However, this sixty-day time limitation may be extended by the director of health or engineer for up to an additional sixty days if sufficient time is not available to review adequately the general comprehensive plans.
Before becoming effective, the general comprehensive plan shall also be submitted to, and approved by resolution of, the legislative authority of every county within whose boundaries all or a portion of the district lies. The general comprehensive plan shall be approved, conditionally approved, or rejected by each of the county legislative authorities pursuant to the criteria in RCW 57.02.040 for approving the formation, reorganization, annexation, consolidation, or merger of districts. The resolution, ordinance, or motion of the legislative body that rejects the comprehensive plan or a part thereof shall specifically state in what particular the comprehensive plan or part thereof rejected fails to meet these criteria. The general comprehensive plan shall not provide for the extension or location of facilities that are inconsistent with the requirements of RCW 36.70A.110. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude a county from rejecting a proposed plan because it is in conflict with the criteria in RCW 57.02.040. Each general comprehensive plan shall be deemed approved if the county legislative authority fails to reject or conditionally approve the plan within ninety days of the plan's submission to the county legislative authority or within thirty days of a hearing on the plan when the hearing is held within ninety days of submission to the county legislative authority. However, a county legislative authority may extend this ninety-day time limitation by up to an additional ninety days where a finding is made that ninety days is insufficient to review adequately the general comprehensive plan.

However, a city or town legislative authority may extend this time limitation by up to an additional ninety days where a finding is made that insufficient time exists to adequately review the general comprehensive plan within these time limitations. In addition, the commissioners and the city or town legislative authority may mutually agree to an extension of the deadlines in this section.
Before becoming effective, the general comprehensive plan shall be approved by any state agency whose approval may be required by applicable law. Before becoming effective, any amendment to, alteration of, or addition to, a general comprehensive plan shall also be subject to such approval as if it were a new general comprehensive plan. However, only if the amendment, alteration, or addition affects a particular city or town, shall the amendment, alteration, or addition be subject to approval by such particular city or town governing body.
Sec. 21. RCW 57.08.081 and 1996 c 230 s 314 are each amended to read as follows:
The commissioners of any district shall provide for revenues by fixing rates and charges for furnishing sewer and drainage service and facilities to those to whom service is available or for providing water, such rates and charges to be fixed as deemed necessary by the commissioners, so that uniform charges will be made for the same class of customer or service and facility. Rates and charges may be combined for the furnishing of more than one type of sewer service((,)) and facility such as but not limited to storm or surface water and sanitary.
In classifying customers of such water, sewer, or drainage system, the board of commissioners may in its discretion consider any or all of the following factors: The difference in cost ((of service)) to various customers; the location of the various customers within and without the district; the difference in cost of maintenance, operation, repair, and replacement of the various parts of the system; the different character of the service furnished various customers; the quantity and quality of the service and facility furnished; the time of its use; the achievement of water conservation goals and the discouragement of wasteful practices; capital contributions made to the system including but not limited to assessments; and any other matters which present a reasonable difference as a ground for distinction. Rates shall be established as deemed proper by the commissioners and as fixed by resolution and shall produce revenues sufficient to take care of the costs of maintenance and operation, revenue bond and warrant interest and principal amortization requirements, and all other charges necessary for efficient and proper operation of the system.
The commissioners shall enforce collection of connection charges, and rates and charges for water supplied against property owners connecting with the system or receiving such water, and for sewer and drainage services charged against property to which and its owners to whom the service is available, such charges being deemed charges against the property served, by addition of penalties of not more than ten percent thereof in case of failure to pay the charges at times fixed by resolution. The commissioners may provide by resolution that where either connection charges or rates and charges for services supplied are delinquent for any specified period of time, the district shall certify the delinquencies to the treasurer of the county in which the real property is located, and the charges and any penalties added thereto and interest thereon at the rate of not more than the prime lending rate of the district's bank plus four percentage points per year shall be a lien against the property upon which the service was received, subject only to the lien for general taxes.
The district may, at any time after the connection charges or rates and charges for services supplied or available and penalties are delinquent for a period of sixty days, bring suit in foreclosure by civil action in the superior court of the county in which the real property is located. The court may allow, in addition to the costs and disbursements provided by statute, attorneys' fees, title search and report costs, and expenses as it adjudges reasonable. The action shall be in rem, and may be brought in the name of the district against an individual or against all of those who are delinquent in one action. The laws and rules of the court shall control as in other civil actions.
In addition to the right to foreclose provided in this section, the district may also cut off all or part of the service after charges for water or sewer service supplied or available are delinquent for a period of sixty days.

Within ten days of the filing of a petition, the county auditor shall confer with the petitioner concerning form and style of the petition, issue an identification number for the petition, and write a ballot title for the measure. The ballot title shall be posed as a question so that an affirmative answer to the question and an affirmative vote on the measure results in creation of the shellfish protection district and a negative answer to the question and a negative vote on the measure results in the shellfish protection district not being created. The petitioner shall be notified of the identification number and ballot title within this ten-day period.
After this notification, the petitioner shall have thirty days in which to secure on petition forms the signatures of not less than twenty-five percent of the registered voters residing within the boundaries of the shellfish protection district and file the signed petitions with the county auditor.

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that:
(1) Currently, many of the salmon stocks on the Washington coast and in Puget Sound are severely depressed and may soon be listed under the federal endangered species act.
(2) Immediate action is needed to reverse the severe decline of the resource and ensure its very survival.
(3) The cooperation and participation of private landowners in efforts to restore and enhance anadromous fish populations is crucial to their success.
(4) The existing property rights of private landowners should not be adversely impacted at a later date, by the successful implementation of salmon restoration and enhancement projects on their property.
(5) Regional fisheries enhancement groups have been exceptionally successful in their efforts to work with private landowners to restore and enhance salmon habitat on private lands.
(6) Regional fisheries enhancement groups have provided the most cost-effective approach to affecting the recovery of anadromous fisheries in Washington state, with work undertaken by regional fisheries enhancement groups returning on average nine dollars in matching funds for every one dollar in expenditures from the regional enhancement account.
(7) As each of the groups mature and expand, funding becomes a significant limitation to maximizing their fisheries enhancement and habitat restoration efforts.
(8) Therefore, an ample stable funding source is essential to the success of the regional enhancement groups and their efforts to work cooperatively with private landowners to restore salmon resources.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 75.50 RCW to read as follows:
(1) The regional fisheries enhancement salmonid recovery account is created in the state treasury.

(2) The salmonid recovery account is created in the custody of the state treasurer. All receipts from private gifts, grants, bequests, and donations must be deposited into the account. Expenditures from the account may be used for the sole purpose of fisheries enhancement and habitat restoration by regional fisheries enhancement groups. Only the director or the director's designee may authorize expenditures from the account. The account is subject to allotment procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but an appropriation is not required for expenditures.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. The regional fisheries enhancement group advisory board shall conduct a study of federal, state, and local permitting requirements for fisheries enhancement and habitat restoration projects. The study shall identify redundant, conflicting, or duplicative permitting requirements and rules, and shall make recommendations for streamlining and improving the permitting process. The results of the study shall be reported to the senate natural resources and parks committee and the house of representatives natural resources committee by November 1, 1997.
Sec. 4. RCW 75.50.080 and 1993 sp.s. c 2 s 47 are each amended to read as follows:

2SSB 6002 Prime Sponsor, Committee on Ways & Means: Supervising mentally ill offenders. Reported by Committee on Criminal Justice & Corrections
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) Many acute and chronically mentally ill offenders are delayed in their release from Washington correctional facilities due to their inability to access reasonable treatment and living accommodations prior to the maximum expiration of their sentences. Often the offender reaches the end of his or her sentence and is released without any follow-up care, funds, or housing. These delays are costly to the state, often lead to psychiatric relapse, and result in unnecessary risk to the public.
These offenders rarely possess the skills or emotional stability to maintain employment or even complete applications to receive entitlement funding. Nation-wide only five percent of diagnosed schizophrenics are able to maintain part-time or full-time employment. Housing and appropriate treatment are difficult to obtain.
This lack of resources, funding, treatment, and housing creates additional stress for the mentally ill offender, impairing self-control and judgment. When the mental illness is instrumental in the offender's patterns of crime, such stresses may lead to a worsening of his or her illness, reoffending, and a threat to public safety.
(2) It is the intent of the legislature to create a pilot program to provide for postrelease mental health care and housing for a select group of mentally ill offenders entering community living, in order to reduce incarceration costs, increase public safety, and enhance the offender's quality of life.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 71.24 RCW to read as follows:
(1) The secretary shall select and contract with a regional support network or private provider to provide specialized access and services to mentally ill offenders upon release from total confinement within the department of corrections who have been identified by the department of corrections and selected by the regional support network or private provider as high-priority clients for services and who meet service program entrance criteria. The program shall enroll no more than twenty-five offenders at any one time, but shall seek to fill any vacancies that occur.
(2) Criteria shall include a determination by department of corrections staff that:
(a) The offender suffers from a major mental illness and needs continued mental health treatment;
(b) The offender's previous crime or crimes have been determined by either the court or department of corrections staff to have been substantially influenced by the offender's mental illness;
(c) It is believed the offender will be less likely to commit further criminal acts if provided ongoing mental health care;
(d) The offender is unable or unlikely to obtain housing and/or treatment from other sources for any reason; and
(e) The offender has at least one year remaining before his or her sentence expires but is within six months of release to community housing and is currently housed within a work release facility or any department of corrections' division of prisons facility.
(3) The regional support network or private provider shall provide specialized access and services to the selected offenders. The services shall be aimed at lowering the risk of recidivism. An oversight committee composed of a representative of the department, a representative of the selected regional support network or private provider, and a representative of the department of corrections shall develop policies to guide the pilot program, provide dispute resolution including making determinations as to when entrance criteria or required services may be waived in individual cases, advise the department of corrections and the regional support network or private provider on the selection of eligible offenders, and set minimum requirements for service contracts. The selected regional support network or private provider shall implement the policies and service contracts. The following services shall be provided:
(a) Intensive case management to include a full range of intensive community support and treatment in client-to-staff ratios of not more than ten offenders per case manager including: (i) A minimum of weekly group and weekly individual counseling; (ii) home visits by the program manager at least two times per month; and (iii) counseling focusing on relapse prevention and past, current, or future behavior of the offender.
(b) The case manager shall attempt to locate and procure housing appropriate to the living and clinical needs of the offender and as needed to maintain the psychiatric stability of the offender. The entire range of emergency, transitional, and permanent housing and involuntary hospitalization must be considered as available housing options. A housing subsidy may be provided to offenders to defray housing costs up to a maximum of six thousand six hundred dollars per offender per year and be administered by the case manager. Additional funding sources may be used to offset these costs when available.
(c) The case manager shall collaborate with the assigned prison, work release, or community corrections staff during release planning, prior to discharge, and in ongoing supervision of the offender while under the authority of the department of corrections.
(d) Medications including the full range of psychotropic medications including atypical antipsychotic medications may be required as a condition of the program. Medication prescription, medication monitoring, and counseling to support offender understanding, acceptance, and compliance with prescribed medication regimens must be included.
(e) A systematic effort to engage offenders to continuously involve themselves in current and long-term treatment and appropriate habilitative activities shall be made.
(f) Classes appropriate to the clinical and living needs of the offender and appropriate to his or her level of understanding.
(g) The case manager shall assist the offender in the application and qualification for entitlement funding, including medicaid, state assistance, and other available government and private assistance at any point that the offender is qualified and resources are available.
(h) The offender shall be provided access to daily activities such as drop-in centers, prevocational and vocational training and jobs, and volunteer activities.
(4) Once an offender has been selected into the pilot program, the offender shall remain in the program until the end of his or her sentence or unless the offender is released from the pilot program earlier by the department of corrections.
(5) Specialized training in the management and supervision of high-crime risk mentally ill offenders shall be provided to all participating mental health providers by the department and the department of corrections prior to their participation in the program and as requested thereafter.
(6) The pilot program provided for in this section must be providing services by July 1, 1998.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. The department shall indemnify and hold harmless the regional support network, private provider, and any mental health center, housing facility, or other mental health provider from all claims or suits arising in any manner from any acts committed by an enrolled offender during his or her period of enrollment.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 71.24 RCW to read as follows:
The department, in collaboration with the department of corrections and the oversight committee created in section 2 of this act, shall track outcomes and submit to the legislature a report of services and outcomes by December 1, 1998, and annually thereafter as may be necessary. The reports shall include the following: (1) A statistical analysis regarding the reoffense and reinstitutionalization rate by the enrollees in the program set forth in section 2 of this act; (2) a quantitative description of the services provided in the program set forth in section 2 of this act; and (3) recommendations for any needed modifications in the services and funding levels to increase the effectiveness of the program set forth in section 2 of this act. By December 1, 2003, the department shall certify the reoffense rate for enrollees in the program authorized by section 2 of this act to the office of financial management and the appropriate legislative committees. If the reoffense rate exceeds fifteen percent, the authorization for the department to conduct the program under section 2 of this act is terminated on January 1, 2004.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. If specific funding for the purposes of this act, referencing this act by bill or chapter number, is not provided by June 30, 1997, in the omnibus appropriations act, this act is null and void.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected."

MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Beginning on page 1, line 1, after "WHEREAS," strike all material through "void." on page 3, line 21, and insert "State statutes governing water allocation, instream flows, and other related water resource management are written in a broad manner and as a result there is a wide range of different interpretations of the law which causes much confusion; and

WHEREAS, This situation causes considerable delays and much higher costs for the Department of Ecology and water users; and
WHEREAS, An unusually large number of water right appeals of the Department of Ecology actions have overloaded the Pollution Control Hearings Board and the subsequent appeals of the hearings board's decisions to the courts have escalated costs and delays; and
WHEREAS, An examination by the Legislature of these hard-to-interpret state water laws will give the Legislature the opportunity to clarify these statutes and, by doing so, reduce these problems, costs, and delays;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, By the Senate of the state of Washington, the House of Representatives concurring, That a joint select committee on clarifying state water law be established to examine the hard-to-interpret provisions of the statutes governing water allocation, instream flows, and other related water resource management and to recommend clarifications to those provisions that do not change state policy; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the joint select committee consist of eight members with four members appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, two from the majority party caucus and two from the minority party caucus in the House of Representatives, and four members appointed by the President of the Senate, two from the majority party caucus and two from the minority party caucus in the Senate, and that the members of the joint select committee select cochairs of the committee, one from the House of Representatives and one from the Senate; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That staff support for the joint select committee be provided by the office of program research of the House of Representatives and Senate committee services; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the joint select committee report its recommendations to the Legislature in the form of proposed legislation by December 1, 1997."
