             WHEREAS, The students of Tahoma High School in Maple Valley, Washington, enrolled in the program known as "We The People, The Citizen and Constitution" have exhibited that they have learned very well the lessons of our forefathers who wrote the Constitution of the United States and will be representing all of Washington in national championship competitions; and

             WHEREAS, The students of Gig Harbor High School in Gig Harbor, Washington, have also demonstrated an impressive grasp of the Constitution of the United States; and

             WHEREAS, This knowledge will enhance the lives of these students and direct their paths as they walk through life, proud in the knowledge that Americans have long stood for justice and liberty for all Americans; and

             WHEREAS, Being armed with this knowledge is to the benefit of all citizens of this great country and state and will encourage them to participate in the democracy men and women have fought so gallantly to preserve; and

             WHEREAS, These energetic, knowledgeable young people will one day lead this state and country, and there may very well be in their midst a legislator, governor, senator, member of Congress, or perhaps even a future President; and

             WHEREAS, The dedicated and talented Teachers of the "We The People" program, Stephanie Davis of Tahoma High School, and Ken Brown of Gig Harbor High School, can take great pride in knowing that the students enrolled in this program have the knowledge to outperform university students in every topic; and

             WHEREAS, Studies have shown that eighty percent of seniors in high school participating in this program have registered to vote compared to an average of thirty-seven percent among other high school seniors, thereby proving that this program has increased the interest in politics and in participation in government; and

             WHEREAS, For the ninth consecutive year, Tahoma High School has won the first place title at the state championship, enabling its members to represent the whole state of Washington when they compete at the national competition in Washington, D.C.; and

             WHEREAS, For the second consecutive year, Gig Harbor High School finished in second place at the state championship;

             NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives honor the participants in this program from Tahoma High School's first place team: Brent Ludeman, Evie Edwards, Kasey Schmidt, Ed Pivarsky, Lindsay Stephens, Jana Kelly, Corey Pilgrim, Dasha Green, Rachel Boutros, Lindsay Michelson, Joe Belsha, Jennifer Walker, Kwak Jebuni-Frimpong, Kristina Olarte, Delana Combs, Tatiana Milne, Maricelle Cardenas, Derek Day, Eric Sizer, Tyler Solheim, Jon Brumbach, Joseph Kennedy, and Sarah Buban; and

             HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 4633 was adopted.


POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE


             Representative McMahan: "It has come to my attention that comments that I made Monday afternoon have caused misunderstanding and offenses. I had acted Monday morning out of personal preference and spoke without consulting anyone else. Nothing I said in any way reflects the feelings or opinions of any other lawmaker as far as I know.

             I want to make it clear that it was not my intention to offend anyone by my actions or words. Specifically, I want to state that it was not my intention to slight or show any ill-will toward Imam Mohamad Joban or any other American member of the Islamic faith, whose members I’m sure enjoy the freedom and opportunity of this country as much as I do.

             As I pointed out in the statement that I released to the media yesterday, this nation was founded on the principle of the individual’s right to religious freedom. I have great respect for those who hold religious beliefs, whether they resemble or are vastly different from my own.

             In fact, I would die for the right of any American to believe as he or she chooses. It is my personal belief that God gave this individual right and extends it to everyone. It has never been my intention to show disrespect for anyone else because of their deeply held religious beliefs and thereby cause an offense. In fact, I have made it a lifelong goal to live as much as possible without causing offense to others.

             I apologize for offenses given and would like to ask forgiveness of any whom I have offended. It was never my intention for such offenses to occur in the first place.

             I undestand that Imam Joban has extended an invitation to me to visit the local Islamic center where he presides. If in fact this is true, I intend to accept his gracious invitation. At that time I will personally deliver to him my apology for any offense he may have experienced.

             Thank you, Mr. Speaker."

              (1) Any person who is a resident of this state or is employed within this state, and who voluntarily or upon order from competent authority, vacates a position of employment for service in the uniformed services, shall, provided he or she meets the requirements of RCW 73.16.035, be reemployed forthwith((: PROVIDED, That the)).

              (b) Reemployment would impose an undue hardship on the employer ((: PROVIDED FURTHER, That this section shall not apply to a temporary position)); or

              (c) The employment from which the person leaves to serve in the uniformed services is for a brief, nonrecurrent period and there is no reasonable expectation that such employment will continue indefinitely or for a significant period.

              (3) If such person is still qualified to perform the duties of his or her former position, he or she shall be restored to that position or to a position of like seniority, status and pay. If he or she is not so qualified as a result of disability sustained during his or her service in the uniformed services, but is nevertheless qualified to perform the duties of another position, under the control of the same employer, he or she shall be reemployed in such other position: PROVIDED, That such position shall provide him or her with like seniority, status, and pay, or the nearest approximation thereto consistent with the circumstances of the case."


              On page 4, beginning on line 5, strike all of section 3 and insert the following:

              "Sec. 3. RCW 73.16.035 and 2001 c 133 s 6 are each amended to read as follows:

              (1) In order to be eligible for the benefits of this chapter, an applicant must comply with the following requirements:

              (a) The applicant must notify his or her employer as to his or her membership in the uniformed services within a reasonable time of accepting employment or becoming a member of the uniformed services. An employer may not take any action prohibited in RCW 73.16.032 against a person because the person provided notice of membership in the uniformed services to the employer.

              (b) The applicant must furnish a receipt of an honorable, or under honorable conditions discharge, report of separation, certificate of satisfactory service, or other proof of having satisfactorily completed his or her service. Rejectees must furnish proof of orders for examination and rejection.

              (c) The applicant must make written application to the employer or his or her representative as follows:

              (i) In the case of an applicant whose period of service in the uniformed services was less than thirty-one days, by reporting to the employer:

              (A) Not later than the beginning of the first full regularly scheduled work period on the first full calendar day following the completion of the period of service and the expiration of eight hours after a period allowing for the safe transportation of the applicant from the place of that service to the applicant's residence; or

              (B) As soon as possible after the expiration of the eight-hour period in (c)(i)(A) of this subsection, if reporting within that period is impossible or unreasonable through no fault of the applicant;

              (ii) In the case of an applicant who is absent from a position of employment for a period of any length for the purposes of an examination to determine the applicant's fitness to perform service in the uniformed services, by reporting in the manner and time referred to in (c)(i) of this subsection;

              (iii) In the case of an applicant whose period of service in the uniformed services was for more than thirty days but less than one hundred eighty-one days, by submitting an application for reemployment with the employer not later than fourteen days after the completion of the period of service or if submitting such application within such period is impossible or unreasonable through no fault of the applicant, the next first full calendar day when submission of such application becomes possible;

              (iv) In the case of an applicant whose period of service in the uniformed services was for more than one hundred eighty days, by submitting an application for reemployment with the employer not later than ninety days after the completion of the period of service;

              (v) In the case of an applicant who is hospitalized for, or convalescing from, an illness or injury incurred or aggravated during the performance of service in the uniformed services, at the end of the period that is necessary for the applicant to recover from such illness or injury, the applicant shall submit an application for reemployment with such employer. The period of recovery may not exceed two years. This two-year period shall be extended by the minimum time required to accommodate the circumstances beyond the applicant's control that make reporting within the two-year period impossible or unreasonable;

              (vi) In the case of an applicant who fails to report or apply for employment or reemployment within the appropriate period specified in this subsection (1)(c), the applicant does not automatically forfeit his or her entitlement to the rights and benefits conferred by this chapter, but is subject to the conduct rules, established policy, and general practices of the employer pertaining to explanations and discipline with respect to absence from scheduled work.

              (d) An applicant who submits an application for reemployment shall provide to the applicant's employer, upon the request of that employer, documentation to establish that:

              (i) The application is timely;

              (ii) The applicant has not exceeded the service limitations set forth in this section, except as permitted under (c)(v) of this subsection; and

              (iii) The applicant's entitlement to the benefits under this chapter has not been terminated pursuant to (e) of this subsection.

              (e) The applicant must return and reenter the office or position within the appropriate period specified in (c) of this subsection after serving four years or less in the uniformed services other than state-ordered active duty: PROVIDED, That any period of additional service imposed by law, from which one is unable to obtain orders relieving him or her from active duty, will not affect reemployment rights.

              (f) The applicant must return and reenter the office or position within the appropriate period specified in (c) of this subsection after serving twelve weeks or less in a calendar year in state-ordered active duty: PROVIDED, That the governor, when declaring an emergency that necessitates a longer period of service, may extend the period of service in state-ordered active duty to up to twelve months after which the applicant is eligible for the benefits of this chapter.

              (2) The failure of an applicant to provide documentation that satisfies rules adopted pursuant to subsection (1)(c) of this section shall not be a basis for denying reemployment in accordance with the provisions of this chapter if the failure occurs because such documentation does not exist or is not readily available at the time of the request of the employer. If, after such reemployment, documentation becomes available that establishes that the applicant does not meet one or more of the requirements referred to in subsection (1)(d) of this section, that applicant's employer may terminate the employment of the person and the provision of any rights or benefits afforded the person under this chapter.

              (3) An employer may not delay or attempt to defeat a reemployment obligation by demanding documentation that does not then exist or is not then readily available.

              (4) The application in subsection (1) of this section is not required if the giving of such application is precluded by military necessity or, under all of the relevant circumstances, the giving of such notice is otherwise impossible or unreasonable.

              "NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

              (1) "Commercial property" means the same as in RCW 60.04.031.

              (2) "Professional services, materials, or equipment supplied" means the same as in RCW 60.04.031.

              (3) "Residential homeowner" means the same as in RCW 60.04.031.

              (4) "Substantial completion" means the earliest of the following dates: (a) The date upon which the work of improvement has been completed as specified under the contract; (b) the date upon which the improvement becomes usable or fit for the purposes for which it was intended; (c) the date of issuance of a certificate of occupancy; or (d) the date of occupation or use of the improvement by the owner or an agent of the owner.

              (5) "Work of improvement means work performed or provided, including professional services, materials or equipment provided, related to the new construction, repair, alteration, or remodel of a single-family residence or appurtenant garage for a residential homeowner. Work of improvement includes incremental improvements which are in themselves complete but do not necessarily bring a property improvement to a state of substantial completion.


              NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. (1) Any moneys released to or obtained by an owner, developer, prime contractor, subcontractor, or person in charge of a construction project related to a work of improvement, shall be regarded and held in trust for the benefit of those persons making the payment and those who provided the professional services, materials or equipment in connection with the work of improvement giving rise to the receipt of moneys.

              (2) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as requiring moneys held in trust by an owner, contractor, or subcontractor under subsection (1) of this section to be placed in a separate account. If an owner, contractor, or subcontractor commingles moneys held in trust under this section with other moneys, the mere commingling of the moneys does not constitute a violation of this chapter.

              (3)(a) The use of trust moneys for any other purpose than to first pay when due those persons for whom the funds are held in trust shall be prima facie evidence of a trust violation and an intent to defraud in a civil action.

              (b) The mishandling of work of improvement trust moneys is a matter affecting the public interest for the purpose of applying chapter 19.86 RCW. The failure to use the money as intended is not reasonable in relation to the development and preservation or business. A violation of this section constitutes an unfair or deceptive act or practice in trade or commerce for the purpose of applying chapter 19.86 RCW.


              NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. (1) It is against public policy for any party to require any other party to waive any provision of this chapter.

              (2) This chapter is to be liberally construed to provide security for all parties intended to be protected by its provisions.


              NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. This chapter is applicable only to contracts entered into on or after September 1, 2003, relating to the new construction, repair, alteration, or remodel of a single-family residence or appurtenant garage for a residential homeowner.

              NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. Sections 2 through 5 of this act shall constitute a new chapter in title 60 RCW."

             WHEREAS, The state of Washington lost a true champion for vulnerable children with the death of Rosalyn "Rosie" Oreskovich on February 28, 2003; and

             WHEREAS, Rosie's life was dedicated to the protection of abused and neglected children in our state; and

             WHEREAS, Rosie worked diligently throughout her twenty-seven year career to improve child welfare services, starting as a social worker in 1976 with the Department of Social and Health Services; and

             WHEREAS, Rosie returned to the Department of Social and Health Services in 1994, ultimately rising through the ranks to become Assistant Secretary of the Children's Administration; and

             WHEREAS, The foster care system was transformed under Rosie's leadership, from one mired in troubles and inconsistencies to one that has successfully increased the recruitment and retention of foster care parents, the number of adoptions, the number of relative placements, and the number of reunifications in this state, and one which continues to strive for stability and permanence in children's lives; and

             WHEREAS, Under Rosie's leadership, the Department of Social and Health Services embarked upon a campaign called "Kids Come First Action Agenda" to ensure that child protective and welfare services clearly prioritize the needs of abused and neglected children in this state; and

             WHEREAS, Rosie's dedication to instilling best practice reforms in the state's child welfare system helped launch a statewide effort to become accredited by the National Council on Accreditation, an effort that was first inspired by the successful accreditation of the Vancouver office under Rosie's stewardship; and

             WHEREAS, Rosie inspired respect and admiration among her staff, colleagues, and elected officials and won wide recognition for her contributions to the national dialogue on child well-being in this country;

             NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, The House of Representatives praise the contributions made to our great state by Rosalyn Oreskovich, a remarkable individual whose tireless commitment to children leaves a lasting legacy for all residents in our state, and whose contributions to our state will never be forgotten.


             HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 4634 was adopted.


             There being no objection, the House advanced to the eleventh order of business.


             There being no objection, the House adjourned until 10:00 a.m., March 6, 2003, the 53rd Day of the Regular Session.
