PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
Senator Schoesler: “Thank you Mr. President. I respectfully submit to the body that this measure would raise state revenue and therefore pursuant to Initiative 601 require two-thirds vote of this body for passage. Codified and RCW 43.135.035 is very clear,... any action or combination of actions by the legislature that raises revenue,... maybe taken only if approved by a two-thirds vote of each ‘house’. Since 1999 you’ve held, Mr. President, the bills which result in revenue increases fall under this provision and take a two-thirds vote of this body. In 2002, Mr. President, you made a ruling on a similar bill, SB 6591, which dealt with the application of tobacco taxes to persons who purchase tobacco taxes from exempt tribes for resale. You ruled that the measure or took a two-thirds vote for passage noting that the fiscal note for the bill indicated an expected revenue increase of almost $2.5 million for that biennium. The bill before us would authorize the Governor enter into a contract with the Puyallup tribe and impose a tax of $11.75 per carton of cigarettes in lieu of state and local taxes. The state will receive 30 percent of this tax. This new tribal tax is actually tied to the state cigarette tax such that if the state rate rises, the tribal rate, and hence the state’s revenue, will also increase. The fiscal note for the measure before us indicates that the state is expected to receive $19.5 million for this biennium. An ongoing revenue in excess of 17 million through at least the 2009-11 biennium. Because this bill raises state revenue I respectfully submit for your consideration, that it will take two-thirds vote of this body for final passage and ask for a ruling thereon.”
REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “Senator Schoesler, I’m going to hold your point of order until after Senator Prentice has the opportunity to move this bill to third reading and then I’ll bring it up immediately.”
MOTION
On motion of Senator Prentice, the rules were suspended, Senate Bill No. 5794 was advanced to third reading, the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.
Senator Prentice spoke in favor of passage of the bill.
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “Senator Schoesler raised the point of order that the Senate Bill No. 5794 would in fact raise revenue that would cause it to require a two-thirds vote of both Houses by the Initiative 601.”
Senator Prentice: “Thank you Mr. President. This bill is a donation from another government, another severest nation. It is not a tax, the state is not imposing any tax. It’s a tribal tax on cigarettes and they are donating the money to the state. I believe that this is not a good argument. Thank you.”
MOTION
On motion of Senator Eide, Senate Bill No. 5794 was deferred and the bill held its place on the third reading calendar.

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 26.44.030 and 2003 c 207 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:
(1)(a) When any practitioner, county coroner or medical examiner, law enforcement officer, professional school personnel, registered or licensed nurse, social service counselor, psychologist, pharmacist, licensed or certified child care providers or their employees, employee of the department, juvenile probation officer, placement and liaison specialist, responsible living skills program staff, HOPE center staff, or state family and children's ombudsman or any volunteer in the ombudsman's office has reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or neglect, he or she shall report such incident, or cause a report to be made, to the proper law enforcement agency or to the department as provided in RCW 26.44.040.
(b) When any person, in his or her official supervisory capacity with a nonprofit or for-profit organization, has reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or neglect caused by a person over whom he or she regularly exercises supervisory authority, he or she shall report such incident, or cause a report to be made, to the proper law enforcement agency, provided that the person alleged to have caused the abuse or neglect is employed by, contracted by, or volunteers with the organization and coaches, trains, educates, or counsels a child or children or regularly has unsupervised access to a child or children as part of the employment, contract, or voluntary service. No one shall be required to report under this section when he or she obtains the information solely as a result of a privileged communication as provided in RCW 5.60.060.
Nothing in this subsection (1)(b) shall limit a person's duty to report under (a) of this subsection.
For the purposes of this subsection, the following definitions apply:
(i) "Official supervisory capacity" means a position, status, or role created, recognized, or designated by any nonprofit or for-profit organization, either for financial gain or without financial gain, whose scope includes, but is not limited to, overseeing, directing, or managing another person who is employed by, contracted by, or volunteers with the nonprofit or for-profit organization.
(ii) "Regularly exercises supervisory authority" means to act in his or her official supervisory capacity on an ongoing or continuing basis with regards to a particular person.
(c) The reporting requirement also applies to department of corrections personnel who, in the course of their employment, observe offenders or the children with whom the offenders are in contact. If, as a result of observations or information received in the course of his or her employment, any department of corrections personnel has reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or neglect, he or she shall report the incident, or cause a report to be made, to the proper law enforcement agency or to the department as provided in RCW 26.44.040.
(((c))) (d) The reporting requirement shall also apply to any adult who has reasonable cause to believe that a child who resides with them, has suffered severe abuse, and is able or capable of making a report. For the purposes of this subsection, "severe abuse" means any of the following: Any single act of abuse that causes physical trauma of sufficient severity that, if left untreated, could cause death; any single act of sexual abuse that causes significant bleeding, deep bruising, or significant external or internal swelling; or more than one act of physical abuse, each of which causes bleeding, deep bruising, significant external or internal swelling, bone fracture, or unconsciousness.
(((d))) (e) The report must be made at the first opportunity, but in no case longer than forty-eight hours after there is reasonable cause to believe that the child has suffered abuse or neglect. The report must include the identity of the accused if known.
(2) The reporting requirement of subsection (1) of this section does not apply to the discovery of abuse or neglect that occurred during childhood if it is discovered after the child has become an adult. However, if there is reasonable cause to believe other children are or may be at risk of abuse or neglect by the accused, the reporting requirement of subsection (1) of this section does apply.
(3) Any other person who has reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or neglect may report such incident to the proper law enforcement agency or to the department of social and health services as provided in RCW 26.44.040.
(4) The department, upon receiving a report of an incident of alleged abuse or neglect pursuant to this chapter, involving a child who has died or has had physical injury or injuries inflicted upon him or her other than by accidental means or who has been subjected to alleged sexual abuse, shall report such incident to the proper law enforcement agency. In emergency cases, where the child's welfare is endangered, the department shall notify the proper law enforcement agency within twenty-four hours after a report is received by the department. In all other cases, the department shall notify the law enforcement agency within seventy-two hours after a report is received by the department. If the department makes an oral report, a written report must also be made to the proper law enforcement agency within five days thereafter.
(5) Any law enforcement agency receiving a report of an incident of alleged abuse or neglect pursuant to this chapter, involving a child who has died or has had physical injury or injuries inflicted upon him or her other than by accidental means, or who has been subjected to alleged sexual abuse, shall report such incident in writing as provided in RCW 26.44.040 to the proper county prosecutor or city attorney for appropriate action whenever the law enforcement agency's investigation reveals that a crime may have been committed. The law enforcement agency shall also notify the department of all reports received and the law enforcement agency's disposition of them. In emergency cases, where the child's welfare is endangered, the law enforcement agency shall notify the department within twenty-four hours. In all other cases, the law enforcement agency shall notify the department within seventy-two hours after a report is received by the law enforcement agency.
(6) Any county prosecutor or city attorney receiving a report under subsection (5) of this section shall notify the victim, any persons the victim requests, and the local office of the department, of the decision to charge or decline to charge a crime, within five days of making the decision.
(7) The department may conduct ongoing case planning and consultation with those persons or agencies required to report under this section, with consultants designated by the department, and with designated representatives of Washington Indian tribes if the client information exchanged is pertinent to cases currently receiving child protective services. Upon request, the department shall conduct such planning and consultation with those persons required to report under this section if the department determines it is in the best interests of the child. Information considered privileged by statute and not directly related to reports required by this section must not be divulged without a valid written waiver of the privilege.
(8) Any case referred to the department by a physician licensed under chapter 18.57 or 18.71 RCW on the basis of an expert medical opinion that child abuse, neglect, or sexual assault has occurred and that the child's safety will be seriously endangered if returned home, the department shall file a dependency petition unless a second licensed physician of the parents' choice believes that such expert medical opinion is incorrect. If the parents fail to designate a second physician, the department may make the selection. If a physician finds that a child has suffered abuse or neglect but that such abuse or neglect does not constitute imminent danger to the child's health or safety, and the department agrees with the physician's assessment, the child may be left in the parents' home while the department proceeds with reasonable efforts to remedy parenting deficiencies.
(9) Persons or agencies exchanging information under subsection (7) of this section shall not further disseminate or release the information except as authorized by state or federal statute. Violation of this subsection is a misdemeanor.
(10) Upon receiving reports of alleged abuse or neglect, the department or law enforcement agency may interview children. The interviews may be conducted on school premises, at day-care facilities, at the child's home, or at other suitable locations outside of the presence of parents. Parental notification of the interview must occur at the earliest possible point in the investigation that will not jeopardize the safety or protection of the child or the course of the investigation. Prior to commencing the interview the department or law enforcement agency shall determine whether the child wishes a third party to be present for the interview and, if so, shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate the child's wishes. Unless the child objects, the department or law enforcement agency shall make reasonable efforts to include a third party in any interview so long as the presence of the third party will not jeopardize the course of the investigation.
(11) Upon receiving a report of alleged child abuse and neglect, the department or investigating law enforcement agency shall have access to all relevant records of the child in the possession of mandated reporters and their employees.
(12) The department shall maintain investigation records and conduct timely and periodic reviews of all cases constituting abuse and neglect. The department shall maintain a log of screened-out nonabusive cases.
(13) The department shall use a risk assessment process when investigating alleged child abuse and neglect referrals. The department shall present the risk factors at all hearings in which the placement of a dependent child is an issue. Substance abuse must be a risk factor. The department shall, within funds appropriated for this purpose, offer enhanced community-based services to persons who are determined not to require further state intervention.
(14) Upon receipt of a report of alleged abuse or neglect the law enforcement agency may arrange to interview the person making the report and any collateral sources to determine if any malice is involved in the reporting.
(15) The department shall make reasonable efforts to learn the name, address, and telephone number of each person making a report of abuse or neglect under this section. The department shall provide assurances of appropriate confidentiality of the identification of persons reporting under this section. If the department is unable to learn the information required under this subsection, the department shall only investigate cases in which: (a) The department believes there is a serious threat of substantial harm to the child; (b) the report indicates conduct involving a criminal offense that has, or is about to occur, in which the child is the victim; or (c) the department has, after investigation, a report of abuse or neglect that has been founded with regard to a member of the household within three years of receipt of the referral.

SENATE BILL NO. 5719, by Senator Hargrove
Extending the community commitment disposition alternative pilot program.
MOTION
On motion of Senator Hargrove, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5719 was substituted for Senate Bill No. 5719 and the substitute bill was placed on the second reading and read the second time.
MOTION
Senator Hargrove moved that the following striking amendment by Senators Hargrove, Stevens and Regala be adopted.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 13.40.169 and 2003 c 378 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:
((Any charter county with a population of not more than seventy thousand shall establish a pilot program to implement the community commitment disposition alternative contained in this section. The pilot project shall be limited to five beds.)) Any county or group of cooperating counties within close proximity may establish a program to implement the community commitment disposition alternative under this section. A program established by a county or group of cooperating counties shall be limited to ten beds. A court in a county that has established a program under this section or has entered an agreement with other counties to establish such a program may impose a community commitment disposition alternative as provided in this section.
(1) When the offender is subject to a standard range commitment of 15 to 36 weeks and is ineligible for a suspended disposition alternative, a manifest injustice disposition below the standard range, special sex offender disposition alternative, chemical dependency disposition alternative, or mental health disposition alternative, ((the)) a court ((in a county with a pilot program under this section)) may impose a community commitment disposition alternative and:
(a) Retain juvenile court jurisdiction over the youth;
(b) Confine the youth in a secure county detention facility ((for a period of time not to exceed thirty days)), or another alternative to secure county detention as described in subsection (4) of this section; and
(c) Impose a term of postrelease community supervision for up to one year.
((If the youth receives a standard range)) At the time of the disposition, the court shall set the release date within the standard range. ((The court shall determine the release date prior to expiration of sixty percent of the juvenile's minimum term of confinement.)) The offender shall spend no more than thirty days in secure county detention between the date of the disposition and the initial release date.
(2) The court may impose this community commitment disposition alternative if the court finds the following:
(a) Placement in a local secure county detention facility in close proximity to the youth's family or local support systems will facilitate a smoother reintegration to the youth's family and community;
(b) Placement in the local secure county detention facility will allow the youth to benefit from locally provided family intervention programs and other research-based treatment programs, school, employment, and drug and alcohol or mental health counseling; or
(c) Confinement in a facility operated by the department would result in a negative disruption to local services, school, or employment or impede or delay developing those services and support systems in the community.
(3) The court shall consider the youth's offense, prior criminal history, security classification, risk level, and treatment needs and history when determining whether the youth is appropriate for the community commitment disposition alternative. If the court finds that a community commitment disposition alternative is appropriate, the court shall order the youth into secure county detention while the details of the reintegration program are developed. The program shall include delivery of programs which meet the Washington state institute for public policy's effectiveness standards for juvenile accountability programs.
(4) Upon approval of the treatment and community reintegration plan, the court may order the youth to serve the term of confinement in one ((or more)) of the following placements or combination of the following placements: Secure county detention, an alternative to secure detention such as electronic home monitoring, county group care, day or evening reporting, or home detention. The court may order the youth to serve time in secure county detention on weekends or intermittently. The court shall set periodic reviews to review the youth's progress in the program. ((At least fifty percent)) No more than thirty days of the ((term of confinement)) community commitment disposition alternative shall be served in secure county detention, unless the youth violates the conditions of the community commitment program.
(5) If the youth violates the conditions of the community commitment program, the court may impose sanctions under RCW 13.40.200 or modify the terms of the reintegration plan and order the youth to serve ((all or a portion)) up to thirty days of the remaining confinement term in secure county detention or another alternative to secure county detention as described in subsection (4) of this section. If, in the opinion of the court, the youth's cumulative violations would require more than a total of thirty days of secure detention, the court shall revoke the community commitment disposition alternative and order the disposition's execution, with credit for time served, at a facility operated by the juvenile rehabilitation administration of the department of social and health services. The court shall retain jurisdiction for purposes of community supervision upon release from the facility. Except for a youth transferred to a facility operated by the juvenile rehabilitation administration, time not spent in secure county detention may be served in one of the alternative placements described in subsection (4) of this section. The court shall consider the youth's risk level in selecting alternative placements.
(6) A county may enter into interlocal agreements with other counties to develop joint community commitment programs or to allow one county to send a youth appropriate for this alternative to another county that has a community commitment program.
(7) Implementation of this alternative is subject to available state funding for the costs of the community commitment program, including costs of detention and community supervision, treatment programs, and administration.
(8) Each county or group of cooperating counties establishing a program to implement the community commitment disposition alternative under this act shall provide an interim report on a program to the Washington association of juvenile court administrators by November 1, 2006, and a final report by May 1, 2007. Each report shall include, but is not limited to, the number of offenders eligible for the program, the number of offenders sentenced to the program, evaluation and treatment costs for each participant, administrative costs, costs of detention, supervision, and other related costs, and whether an offender has reoffended after participation in the program. The Washington association of juvenile court administrators shall submit an interim report ((on)) analyzing the data submitted by each of the ((pilot)) programs established in this section to the legislature and appropriate committees by December 31, ((2004)) 2006, and submit a final report to the legislature and the appropriate committees by June 30, ((2005)) 2007.
((This section expires July 1, 2005.))
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. 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 July 1, 2005."

MOTION
Senator Keiser moved that the following striking amendment by Senators Keiser, Franklin and Parlette be adopted.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that as consumers' prescription drug costs continue to rise, people across the state of Washington are seeking opportunities to purchase lower cost prescription drugs from Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and other countries for their personal use. The state has a strong interest in promoting the safe use of prescription drugs by consumers in Washington state. To address this interest, the legislature intends to seek authorization from the federal government to license Canadian, United Kingdom, Irish, and other nondomestic prescription drug wholesalers, thereby providing licensed retail pharmacies the opportunity to purchase prescription drugs from approved wholesalers and pass those savings on to consumers, and providing consumers the opportunity to purchase prescription drugs from a trusted community pharmacist who is aware of all of their prescription drug needs.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 18.64 RCW to read as follows:
(1) By September 1, 2005, the board shall, in consultation with the department and the health care authority, submit a waiver request to the federal food and drug administration that will authorize the state of Washington to license Canadian, United Kingdom, Irish, and other nondomestic prescription drug wholesalers under RCW 18.64.046, thereby providing retail pharmacies licensed in Washington state the opportunity to purchase prescription drugs from approved wholesalers and pass those savings on to consumers. The waiver shall provide that:
(a) Canadian, United Kingdom, Irish, and other nondomestic prescription drug wholesalers meet the requirements of RCW 18.64.046 and any rules adopted by the board to implement those requirements;
(b) The board must ensure the integrity of the prescription drug products being distributed by:
(i) Requiring that prescription drugs purchased from Canadian, United Kingdom, Irish, and other nondomestic wholesalers originate only from approved manufacturing locations;
(ii) Routinely testing prescription drugs purchased from Canadian, United Kingdom, Irish, and other nondomestic wholesalers for safety;
(iii) Establishing safe labeling, tracking, and shipping procedures for prescription drugs purchased from Canadian, United Kingdom, Irish, and other nondomestic wholesalers; and
(iv) Closely monitoring compliance with RCW 18.64.046 and any rules adopted to implement the waiver;
(c) The prescription drugs purchased from Canadian, United Kingdom, Irish, and other nondomestic wholesalers must be limited to those for which potential savings to consumers can be demonstrated and those available through purchase by individuals only at licensed retail pharmacies;
(d) To ensure that the program benefits those consumers without insurance coverage for prescription drugs who are most in need of price relief, prescription drug purchases from pharmacies under the waiver will be limited to those not eligible for reimbursement by third party insurance coverage, whether public or private, for the particular drug being purchased; and
(e) Savings associated with purchasing prescription drugs from Canadian, United Kingdom, Irish, and other nondomestic wholesalers will be passed on to consumers.
(2) By December 1, 2005, the board, in consultation with the department and the health care authority, shall submit a detailed implementation plan to the governor and appropriate committees of the legislature that details the mechanisms that the board will use to implement each component of the waiver under subsection (1) of this section.
(3) The board shall adopt rules as necessary to implement this act.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. 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."
