PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

Senator Snyder: “A point of parliamentary inquiry, Mr. President. If the body adopts the striking amendment by Senators Finkbeiner and Rossi, what will the status of the striking amendment by Senators Brown and Jacobsen be?”

REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “Senator Snyder, it would be the ruling of the Chair, that the first striking amendment would be an amendment to the bill. The second striker would be an amendment to the striking amendment and, therefore, you could have an amendment to the amendment and handle the second striker as well.”

Senator Snyder: “Your ruling ruled that the striking amendment by Senators Brown and Jacobsen can be offered as an amendment to the amendment?”

President Owen: “That is correct.”

Senator Snyder: “I think that is probably what the sponsors of the amendment would like to do then.”

President Owen. “Yes, Senator, that would be correct.”

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

Senator West: “A parliamentary inquiry, Mr. President. The striking amendment by Senators Brown and Jacobsen is a drafter to the underlying bill and not to the striking amendment by Senators Finkbeiner and Rossi. So, for the amendment by Senators Brown and Jacobsen to be considered as an amendment to the striking amendment by Senators Finkbeiner and Rossi, I believe it would have to be written to the striking amendment.”

REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “Senator West, the issue is we have a striking amendment and then we have another striking amendment that would perfect. Therefore, we are handling it as though it is an amendment to the striking amendment.”

MOTION

Senator Brown moved that the following amendment by Senators Brown and Jacobsen to the striking amendment by Senators Finkbeiner and Rossi be adopted:

(2) The transition to a competitive retail electricity market requires that investments in conservation, renewable resources, and low-income service be made in a competitively neutral manner and, further, that minimum investment standards for these purposes are necessary and desirable as the industry becomes more competitive. (3) Electricity is an essential service and should be reasonably accessible and affordable to all consumers, regardless of income or geographic location. The unique circumstances and value of small, rural electric systems should be taken into account as industry restructuring moves forward.

ROLL CALL

The Secretary called the roll and the amendment to the striking amendment was not adopted by the following vote: Yeas, 21; Nays, 27; Absent, 0; Excused, 1.

Voting yea: Senators Bauer, Brown, Fairley, Franklin, Fraser, Goings, Hargrove, Haugen, Jacobsen, Kline, Kohl, Loveland, McAuliffe, Patterson, Prentice, Sheldon, Snyder, Spanel, Swanson, Thibaudeau and Wojahn - 21.

The President declared the question before the Senate to be the adoption of the striking amendment by Senators Finkbeiner and Rossi to Substitute Senate Bill No. 6006.

Debate ensued.

POINT OF INQUIRY

Senator Franklin: “Senator Finkbeiner, were all parties, including public utilities, private--all parties--were they all involved with the drafting of this amendment?”

Senator Finkbeiner: “With this amendment? No, actually this amendment was taken from an original bill that came before the committee. All parties testified on the bill. At the time, there was one group, that was Rural Electric, that had some concerns on it. Their concerns were, specifically, accommodated in this amendment and in the bill that we were considering in the committee. So, while they did not draft it--as all bills are drafted by the Legislature, they did testify on it and there was overwhelming testimony for it.

“At the time, everybody said that this is a good move and so when we stepped back from the comprehensive bill, which underlies this bill, this seemed like a good place to go because there was common agreement in the committee. As far as I know, there is still common agreement, with the exception, perhaps, of some of the unions. Everybody else, as far as I know, is supporting this.”

POINT OF INQUIRY

Senator Jacobsen: “Senator Finkbeiner, looking at the striking amendment and looking at Section 1, 2 (c), it says, 'Require new market

entrants that are not existing electric utilities in the state to register with the utilities and transportation commission.' What is the purpose of that section?”

Senator Finkbeiner: “As I understand, the purpose of that section is that there are pilot projects, pilot projects which were mentioned in your amendment, Senator Jacobsen, just a moment ago. In those pilot projects, when we have new market entrants coming in, we just want to make sure they are reliable providers of electricity. So, we are asking that they register with the commission and provide that type of information”

Further debate ensued.

The motion by Senator Finkbeiner carried and the striking amendment was adopted.

MOTIONS

On motion of Senator Finkbeiner, the following title amendment was adopted:

On page 1, line 1 of the title, after "industry;" strike the remainder of the title and insert "amending RCW 80.28.075; adding a new chapter to Title 80 RCW; and creating a new section." On motion of Senator Finkbeiner, the rules were suspended, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 6006 was advanced to third reading, the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.

Debate ensued.

The President declared the question before the Senate to be the roll call on the final passage of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 6006.

Debate ensued.

POINT OF INQUIRY

Senator Patterson asked Senator McCaslin to yield to a question and Senator McCaslin would not yield to a question.

POINT OF INQUIRY

Senator Patterson: “Senator Haugen, doesn't this amendment simply say that if you receive your membership dues or if your membership dues are paid with public funds--funds that come from the public tax dollars--if that is the case, the board of directors meetings--the meetings that these folks have--must be open to the public, the same public that are paying the dues?”

Senator Haugen: “That is absolutely correct.”

Senator Patterson: “Senator Haugen, doesn't this amendment simply say that if an organization is receiving a portion of its income from the public, that is you and I, who pay taxes with our hard-earned money, if an organization is receiving money from us, that that organization should simply submit to a periodic audit?”

Senator Haugen: “You are absolutely correct. That is exactly what it does and I can't understand why our colleagues on the other side of the aisle wouldn't join us in this good government amendment.”
