On page 6, after line 23, insert the following:
"Sec. 3. RCW 34.05.310 and 1995 c 403 s 301 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) To meet the intent of providing greater public access to administrative rule making and to promote consensus among interested parties, agencies shall solicit comments from the public on a subject of possible rule making before filing with the code reviser a notice of proposed rule making under RCW 34.05.320. The agency shall prepare a statement of inquiry that:
(a) Identifies the specific statute or statutes authorizing the agency to adopt rules on this subject;
(b) Discusses why rules on this subject may be needed and what they might accomplish;
(c) Identifies other federal and state agencies that regulate this subject, and describes the process whereby the agency would coordinate the contemplated rule with these agencies;
(d) Discusses the process by which the rule might be developed, including, but not limited to, negotiated rule making, pilot rule making, or agency study;
(e) Specifies the process by which interested parties can effectively participate in the decision to adopt a new rule and formulation of a proposed rule before its publication.
(2) (a) The statement of inquiry shall be filed with the code reviser for publication in the state register at least thirty days before the date the agency files notice of proposed rule making under RCW 34.05.320 and shall be sent to any party that has requested receipt of the agency's statements of inquiry.
(b) The statement of inquiry shall also be sent to the chair of the appropriate standing committees and the majority and minority leaders of the house and senate for comment on the legislative intent of the statute that the rule implements. Any comments submitted by the chairs or leaders shall become part of the record of any subsequent rule making hearing.

SECOND SUBSTITUTE HOUSE BILL NO. 1709, by Representatives McMorris, Chandler, Mastin and Smith
Changing provisions relating to school mandates.
Mr. Speaker: Representative Skinner, the Speaker is ready to rule on your Scope and Object request on amendment 489:
The subject portion of the title of Second Substitute House Bill No. 1709 is: AN ACT Relating to mandates on school districts";
The scope of the bill, as measured by the title of the act, is fairly narrow; amendments must relate to mandates that are imposed on school districts.
Amendment 489 by Representative Schoesler would propose to amend RCW 28A.335.210; by allowing monies made available to school districts as part of their construction or remodeling monies and now limited to art acquisition to be used for other construction costs or for the acquisition of equipment with an extended useful life.
House Bill No. 1709, as introduced, proposed to repeal RCW 28A.335.210, the first substitute bill proposed by the Committee on Education, had an amendment to RCW 28A.335.210 that is very similar to the amendment contained in the second substitute bill now before us.
While the Speaker has some doubts about whether RCW 28A.335.210, is really a mandate on school districts, the bill as introduced and reported from two committees has treated it as a mandate on school districts. The Speaker must treat it as a mandate on the districts as well.
Altering a mandate on school districts, as Amendment 489 proposes to do, is clearly within the scope of the title.
The object of Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 1709 is to allow schools districts more flexibility in responding to certain state mandates, including the mandate relating to arts funding.
The object of Amendment 489 is to allow more flexibility in responding to the arts funding mandate.
The Speaker finds that Amendment 489 is within both the Scope and Object of Second Substitute House Bill 1709.
Representative Skinner, your Point of Order is not well taken.
Representatives Schoesler, Carroll, Clements and Mastin spoke in favor of the adoption of the amendment.
Representatives Skinner, Cole, Lantz, Ogden, Doumit, Quall and Skinner spoke against the adoption of the amendment.
Representative Hatfield demanded an electronic roll call vote and the demand was sustained.

Recommendation of instructional materials shall be by the district's instructional materials committee in accordance with district policy. Approval or disapproval shall be by the local school district's board of directors.
Districts may pay the necessary travel and subsistence expenses for expert counsel from outside the district. In addition, the committee's expenses incidental to visits to observe other districts' selection procedures may be reimbursed by the school district.
Districts may, within limitations stated in board policy, use and experiment with instructional materials for a period of time before general adoption is formalized.
Within the limitations of board policy, a school district's chief administrator may purchase instructional materials to meet deviant needs or rapidly changing circumstances.
(2) Establish a depreciation scale for determining the value of texts which students wish to purchase."
Renumber the remaining sections consecutively, correct any internal references accordingly, and correct the title.

Representative Chandler moved the adoption of the following amendment by Representative Chandler: (572)
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"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.
Sec. 2. RCW 90.03.340 and 1987 c 109 s 90 are each amended to read as follows:
The right acquired by appropriation shall relate back to the date of filing of the original application with the department, or to the date construction of the diversion works is begun for beneficial use under section 3 of this act.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 90.03 RCW to read as follows:
(1) The legislature finds that increased demand for water supplies in the state requires the state to manage its water resources wisely and that such wise management includes examining innovative policies for maximizing use while minimizing the impact of that use. The legislature declares that one such innovative policy is allowing the withdrawal of freshwater from streams or lakes just before the water would otherwise mix with marine water. To permit the state to evaluate adequately such a policy, the legislature authorizes as an exemption from the normal permitting process such uses in two pilot study areas as provided by this section.
(2) A diversion of water for beneficial use made as authorized by this section from the Snohomish river is exempt from the application and permit requirements of RCW 90.03.250 through 90.03.320 if the diversion is made within one mile upstream from the point at which the freshwater of the river begins to mix with saltwater. A diversion of water for beneficial use made as authorized by this section from the navigation locks at the outlet control facility for the outflow of water to saltwater from Lake Washington and Lake Union is exempt from the application and permit requirements of RCW 90.03.250 through 90.03.320. A diversion is authorized under this subsection if prior notification is provided to the department as required under subsection (5) of this section and the water diverted is not in excess of the applicable limitations established in subsections (3) and (4) of this section. The right for the diversion established under this section is 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.
(3) For diversions from the Snohomish river under this section, no single diverter may divert more than ten percent of the instantaneous flow of the river in the specific area of the diversion, as such a flow would exist in the absence of diversions made under this section. In no event may the combined diversions of all persons diverting water from the river under this section exceed thirty percent of the instantaneous flow of the river in the specific area of the diversion, as such a flow would exist in the absence of diversions made under this section. Up to this thirty percent limit, the authority to divert water is on a first-come, first-served basis as determined by the date construction of the diversion works is begun and by the volume of water the works being constructed are designed to divert.
(4) In no event may the combined diversions of all persons diverting water from the navigation locks under this section exceed thirty percent of the annual average inflow to Lake Washington. Up to this thirty percent limit, the authority granted by this section to divert water is on a first-come, first-served basis as determined by the date construction of the diversion works is begun and by the volume of water the works being constructed are designed to divert.
(5) Before a person diverts water under this section, the person shall notify the department in writing of the intent to divert water, the location of the point of diversion, and the annual and instantaneous amount of water to be diverted. The department shall compile the information provided under this section for diversions from the Snohomish river and shall compile the information provided under this section for diversions from the locks and shall make this information readily available upon request.
(6) The department shall evaluate the effects and effectiveness of diversions made under this section and shall report its findings to the appropriate committees of the legislature by January 1, 2002."
