"Sec. 8. RCW 82.08.050 and 2001 c 188 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:
(1)(a) The tax hereby imposed shall be paid by the buyer to the seller, and each seller shall collect from the buyer the full amount of the tax payable in respect to each taxable sale in accordance with the schedule of collections adopted by the department pursuant to the provisions of RCW 82.08.060. The tax required by this chapter, to be collected by the seller, minus the amount retained by the seller for administration as provided in subsection (2) of this section, shall be deemed to be held in trust by the seller until paid to the department, and any seller who appropriates or converts the tax collected to his or her own use or to any use other than the payment of the tax to the extent that the money required to be collected is not available for payment on the due date as prescribed in this chapter shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
(b) In case any seller fails to collect the tax herein imposed or having collected the tax, fails to pay it to the department in the manner prescribed by this chapter, whether such failure is the result of his or her own acts or the result of acts or conditions beyond his or her control, he or she shall, nevertheless, be personally liable to the state for the amount of the tax, unless the seller has taken from the buyer in good faith a properly executed resale certificate under RCW 82.04.470 or a copy of a direct pay permit issued under RCW 82.32.087.
(c) The amount of tax, until paid by the buyer to the seller or to the department, shall constitute a debt from the buyer to the seller and any seller who fails or refuses to collect the tax as required with intent to violate the provisions of this chapter or to gain some advantage or benefit, either direct or indirect, and any buyer who refuses to pay any tax due under this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. The tax required by this chapter to be collected by the seller shall be stated separately from the selling price in any sales invoice or other instrument of sale. On all retail sales through vending machines, the tax need not be stated separately from the selling price or collected separately from the buyer. For purposes of determining the tax due from the buyer to the seller and from the seller to the department it shall be conclusively presumed that the selling price quoted in any price list, sales document, contract or other agreement between the parties does not include the tax imposed by this chapter, but if the seller advertises the price as including the tax or that the seller is paying the tax, the advertised price shall not be considered the selling price.
(d) Where a buyer has failed to pay to the seller the tax imposed by this chapter and the seller has not paid the amount of the tax to the department, the department may, in its discretion, proceed directly against the buyer for collection of the tax, in which case a penalty of ten percent may be added to the amount of the tax for failure of the buyer to pay the same to the seller, regardless of when the tax may be collected by the department; and all of the provisions of chapter 82.32 RCW, including those relative to interest and penalties, shall apply in addition; and, for the sole purpose of applying the various provisions of chapter 82.32 RCW, the twenty-fifth day of the month following the tax period in which the purchase was made shall be considered as the due date of the tax.
(2) Each seller shall retain, as reimbursement for the costs associated with collection and administration under this section, the following amounts each reporting period:
(a) 1.05 percent of the tax collected under this section on the first forty thousand dollars of reimbursable sales per month in the reporting period; and
(b) 0.50 percent of the tax collected under this section on reimbursable sales greater than forty thousand dollars but less than seven hundred thousand per month in the reporting period.
(3) No reimbursement is allowed under this section for taxable sales of seven hundred thousand dollars or more per month in the reporting period.
(4) As used in this section "reimbursable sale" means any sale subject to tax under RCW 82.08.020, other than sales defined in RCW 82.04.050(2)(b).

Representative Hatfield requested a scope and object ruling on amendment (055) to Substitute House Bill No. 2735.
Mr. Speaker: "Representative Hatfield, your point is well taken."
Representative McMorris moved the adoption of amendment (050):
On page 3, line 4, after "Sec. 4." strike everything through "immediately." on line 7 and insert "Sections 1 and 2 of this act are necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and take effect immediately."
On page 3, line 8, after "Sec. 5." strike "This act expires" and insert "Sections 1 and 2 of this act expire"
On page 3, after line 8, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. The legislature finds that many small businesses in the state are frustrated by the complexity of the regulatory system. The Washington Administrative Code containing agency rules now fills twelve volumes, and appears to be growing each year. While the vast majority of small businesses make a good faith attempt to comply with applicable laws and rules, many find it extremely difficult to keep up with agencies' issuance of new rules and requirements. Therefore, state agencies are directed to make a good faith attempt to notify businesses affected by rule changes that may subject noncomplying businesses to penalties. Further, the legislature finds that requiring the governor's signatures on new agency rules will promote accountability and reduce future regulatory burdens on small businesses. Finally, the legislature finds that small businesses lack the resources that state agencies routinely use in defending administrative rules that may have been adopted unlawfully, without regard to proper administrative procedures, or which exceed an agency's statutory authority. The legislature therefore finds that it is necessary to place the burden of demonstrating that new administrative rules are adopted in a lawful manner upon the adopting agency.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 7. A new section is added to chapter 34.05 RCW to read as follows:
Within two hundred days of the effective date of a rule that imposes additional requirements on businesses the violation of which subjects the business to a penalty, assessment, or administrative sanction, an agency shall make a good faith effort to notify businesses affected by the rule of the requirements of the rule and how to obtain technical assistance to comply. For purposes of this section, "good faith" means: (1) The agency at least notifies businesses in the standard industrial classifications or their successor identified in the rule-making file as businesses affected by the rule that are registered with the department of revenue; or (2) for rules imposing additional requirements only on persons or firms licensed, registered, or operating under a permit, the agency notifies those persons or firms holding the license, registration, or permit. The notification must announce the rule change, briefly summarize the rule change, and include a contact for more information. Notification may be by individual notice, agency bulletins or newsletters, or any other means that will reasonably inform affected businesses. Failure to notify a specific business under this section does not invalidate a rule or waive the requirement to comply with the rule.
Sec. 8. RCW 34.05.360 and 1988 c 288 s 311 are each amended to read as follows:
The order of adoption by which each rule is adopted by an agency shall contain all of the following:
(1) The signature of the governor;
(2) The date the agency adopted the rule;
(((2))) (3) A concise statement of the purpose of the rule;
(((3))) (4) A reference to all rules repealed, amended, or suspended by the rule;
(((4))) (5) A reference to the specific statutory or other authority authorizing adoption of the rule;
(((5))) (6) Any findings required by any provision of law as a precondition to adoption or effectiveness of the rule; and
(((6))) (7) The effective date of the rule if other than that specified in RCW 34.05.380(2).
Sec. 9. RCW 34.05.570 and 1995 c 403 s 802 are each amended to read as follows:

(b) The validity of agency action shall be determined in accordance with the standards of review provided in this section, as applied to the agency action at the time it was taken;
(c) The court shall make a separate and distinct ruling on each material issue on which the court's decision is based; and
(d) The court shall grant relief only if it determines that a person seeking judicial relief has been substantially prejudiced by the action complained of.

(b) The validity of any rule may be determined upon petition for a declaratory judgment addressed to the superior court (i) of Thurston county, (ii) of the county of the petitioner's residence or principal place of business, or (iii) in a county where property owned by the petitioner and affected by the contested rule is located, when it appears that the rule, or its threatened application, interferes with or impairs or immediately threatens to interfere with or impair the legal rights or privileges of the petitioner. The declaratory judgment order may be entered whether or not the petitioner has first requested the agency to pass upon the validity of the rule in question. When the validity of a rule is challenged, after the petitioner has identified the defects in the rule, the burden of going forward with the evidence is on the agency.
(c) In a proceeding involving review of a rule, the court shall declare the rule invalid only if it finds that: The rule violates constitutional provisions; the rule exceeds the statutory authority of the agency; the rule was adopted without compliance with statutory rule-making procedures; or the rule is arbitrary and capricious.
(3) Review of agency orders in adjudicative proceedings. The court shall grant relief from an agency order in an adjudicative proceeding only if it determines that:
(a) The order, or the statute or rule on which the order is based, is in violation of constitutional provisions on its face or as applied;
(b) The order is outside the statutory authority or jurisdiction of the agency conferred by any provision of law;
(c) The agency has engaged in unlawful procedure or decision-making process, or has failed to follow a prescribed procedure;
(d) The agency has erroneously interpreted or applied the law;
(e) The order is not supported by evidence that is substantial when viewed in light of the whole record before the court, which includes the agency record for judicial review, supplemented by any additional evidence received by the court under this chapter;
(f) The agency has not decided all issues requiring resolution by the agency;
(g) A motion for disqualification under RCW 34.05.425 or 34.12.050 was made and was improperly denied or, if no motion was made, facts are shown to support the grant of such a motion that were not known and were not reasonably discoverable by the challenging party at the appropriate time for making such a motion;
(h) The order is inconsistent with a rule of the agency unless the agency explains the inconsistency by stating facts and reasons to demonstrate a rational basis for inconsistency; ((or))
(i) The order is arbitrary or capricious; or
(j) The order is based on a de facto rule.
(4) Review of other agency action.
(a) All agency action not reviewable under subsection (2) or (3) of this section shall be reviewed under this subsection.
(b) A person whose rights are violated by an agency's failure to perform a duty that is required by law to be performed may file a petition for review pursuant to RCW 34.05.514, seeking an order pursuant to this subsection requiring performance. Within twenty days after service of the petition for review, the agency shall file and serve an answer to the petition, made in the same manner as an answer to a complaint in a civil action. The court may hear evidence, pursuant to RCW 34.05.562, on material issues of fact raised by the petition and answer.
(c) Relief for persons aggrieved by the performance of an agency action, including the exercise of discretion, or an action under (b) of this subsection can be granted only if the court determines that the action is:
(i) Unconstitutional;
(ii) Outside the statutory authority of the agency or the authority conferred by a provision of law;
(iii) Arbitrary or capricious; ((or))
(iv) Taken by persons who were not properly constituted as agency officials lawfully entitled to take such action; or

(1) The department shall establish annual fees to collect expenses for issuing and administering each class of permits under RCW 90.48.160, 90.48.162, and 90.48.260. An initial fee schedule shall be established by rule within one year of March 1, 1989, and thereafter the fee schedule shall be adjusted no more often than once every two years. Except as specified under subsection (6) of this section, this fee schedule shall apply to all permits, regardless of date of issuance, and fees shall be assessed prospectively. Except as specified under subsection (6) of this section, all fees charged shall be based on factors relating to the complexity of permit issuance and compliance and may be based on pollutant loading and toxicity and be designed to encourage recycling and the reduction of the quantity of pollutants. Except as specified under subsection (6) of this section, fees shall be established in amounts to fully recover and not to exceed expenses incurred by the department in processing permit applications and modifications, monitoring and evaluating compliance with permits, conducting inspections, securing laboratory analysis of samples taken during inspections, reviewing plans and documents directly related to operations of permittees, overseeing performance of delegated pretreatment programs, and supporting the overhead expenses that are directly related to these activities.
(2) The annual fee paid by a municipality, as defined in 33 U.S.C. Sec. 1362, for all domestic wastewater facility permits issued under RCW 90.48.162 and 90.48.260 shall not exceed the total of a maximum of fifteen cents per month per residence or residential equivalent contributing to the municipality's wastewater system. The department shall adopt by rule a schedule of credits for any municipality engaging in a comprehensive monitoring program beyond the requirements imposed by the department, with the credits available for five years from March 1, 1989, and with the total amount of all credits not to exceed fifty thousand dollars in the five-year period.
(3) The department shall ensure that indirect dischargers do not pay twice for the administrative expense of a permit. Accordingly, administrative expenses for permits issued by a municipality under RCW 90.48.165 are not recoverable by the department.
(4) In establishing fees, the department shall consider the economic impact of fees on small dischargers and the economic impact of fees on public entities required to obtain permits for storm water runoff and shall provide appropriate adjustments.
(5) The fee for an individual permit issued for a dairy farm as defined under chapter 90.64 RCW shall be fifty cents per animal unit up to one thousand one hundred sixty-seven dollars for fiscal year 1998 and one thousand two hundred fourteen dollars for fiscal year 1999. The fee for a general permit issued for a dairy farm as defined under chapter 90.64 RCW shall be fifty cents per animal unit up to eight hundred seventeen dollars for fiscal year 1998 and eight hundred fifty dollars for fiscal year 1999. Thereafter, these fees may rise in accordance with the fiscal growth factor as provided in chapter 43.135 RCW.
(6) If a commercial or industrial permittee, operating under a permit issued under either RCW 90.48.160 or 90.48.260, operates for one year without violating the conditions of the permit, that permittee qualifies for a three percent reduction in the fees charged by the department under this chapter for each consecutive year in which the permittee has not violated the permit conditions. The baseline for calculating the reductions is the permit fee charged by the department in 2000, or the latest year in which the permittee was found to have violated the conditions of the permit. For purposes of calculating fees for 2003, the department shall make the reductions retroactive to year 2000 for all permittees that have not violated the conditions of their permits since 2000. If, during the preceding year, a permittee is found to have violated the conditions of the permit, the department shall recalculate the permit fees for the next calendar year based on its current schedule of fees developed under this section.
(7) All fees collected under this section shall be deposited in the water quality permit account hereby created in the state treasury. Moneys in the account may be appropriated only for purposes of administering permits under RCW 90.48.160, 90.48.162, and 90.48.260.
(((7))) (8) Beginning with the biennium ending June 30, 1997, the department shall present a biennial progress report on the use of moneys from the account to the legislature. The report will be due December 31st of odd-numbered years. The report shall consist of information on fees collected, actual expenses incurred, and anticipated expenses for the current and following fiscal years."

The interim requirements and schedule of compliance shall be subject to judicial review under the provisions of RCW 43.21K.090(4).

(2) Allocation of waters among potential uses and users shall be based generally on the securing of the maximum net benefits for the people of the state. Maximum net benefits shall constitute total benefits less costs including opportunities lost.
(3) The quality of the natural environment shall be protected and, where possible, enhanced as follows:
(a) Perennial rivers and streams of the state shall be retained with base flows necessary to provide for preservation of wildlife, fish, scenic, aesthetic and other environmental values, and navigational values. Lakes and ponds shall be retained substantially in their natural condition. Withdrawals of water which would conflict therewith shall be authorized only in those situations where it is clear that overriding considerations of the public interest will be served.
(b) Waters of the state shall be of high quality. Regardless of the quality of the waters of the state, all wastes and other materials and substances proposed for entry into said waters shall be provided with all known, available, and reasonable methods of treatment prior to entry. Notwithstanding that standards of quality established for the waters of the state would not be violated, wastes and other materials and substances shall not be allowed to enter such waters which will reduce the existing quality thereof, except in those situations where it is clear that overriding considerations of the public interest will be served. Technology-based effluent limitations or standards for discharges for municipal water treatment plants located on the Chehalis, Columbia, Cowlitz, Lewis, or Skagit river shall be adjusted to reflect credit for substances removed from the plant intake water if:
(i) The municipality demonstrates that the intake water is drawn from the same body of water into which the discharge is made; and
(ii) The municipality demonstrates that no violation of receiving water quality standards or appreciable environmental degradation will result.
(4) The development of multipurpose water storage facilities shall be a high priority for programs of water allocation, planning, management, and efficiency. The department, other state agencies, local governments, and planning units formed under section 107 or 108 of this act shall evaluate the potential for the development of new storage projects and the benefits and effects of storage in reducing damage to stream banks and property, increasing the use of land, providing water for municipal, industrial, agricultural, power generation, and other beneficial uses, and improving stream flow regimes for fisheries and other instream uses.
(5) Adequate and safe supplies of water shall be preserved and protected in potable condition to satisfy human domestic needs.
(6) Multiple-purpose impoundment structures are to be preferred over single-purpose structures. Due regard shall be given to means and methods for protection of fishery resources in the planning for and construction of water impoundment structures and other artificial obstructions.
(7) Federal, state, and local governments, individuals, corporations, groups, and other entities shall be encouraged to carry out practices of conservation as they relate to the use of the waters of the state. In addition to traditional development approaches, improved water use efficiency and conservation shall be emphasized in the management of the state's water resources and in some cases will be a potential new source of water with which to meet future needs throughout the state.
(8) Development of water supply systems, whether publicly or privately owned, which provide water to the public generally in regional areas within the state shall be encouraged. Development of water supply systems for multiple domestic use which will not serve the public generally shall be discouraged where water supplies are available from water systems serving the public.
(9) Full recognition shall be given in the administration of water allocation and use programs to the natural interrelationships of surface and ground waters.
(10) Expressions of the public interest will be sought at all stages of water planning and allocation discussions.
(11) Water management programs, including but not limited to, water quality, flood control, drainage, erosion control and storm runoff are deemed to be in the public interest.
(12) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any legal requirement under subsection (3)(b) of this section is superseded and replaced in accordance with the terms and provisions of an environmental excellence program agreement, entered into under chapter 43.21K RCW."

If the debt financing measure anticipates the receipt of state financing assistance under chapter 28A.525 RCW, the board resolution also shall describe the specific anticipated purpose of the state assistance. If the school board subsequently determines that state or local circumstances should cause any alteration to the specific expenditures from the debt financing or of the state assistance, the board shall first conduct a public hearing to consider those circumstances and to receive public testimony. If the board then determines that any such alterations are in the best interests of the district, it may adopt a new resolution or amend the original resolution at a public meeting held subsequent to the meeting at which public testimony was received."
