      "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that in an era of consumer product recalls, increasing state emphasis on quality ratings and accountability, and decreasing resources at the federal level for consumer protection, there may be a gap in outreach to consumers in the state. The legislature further finds that many state agencies provide helpful information to consumers, but consumers may not always know where to look to find such information. To remedy this potential information gap, the legislature declares that a "one-stop" consumer protection web site should be created so that consumers in Washington state have access to clear and appropriate information regarding consumer services that are available to them across state government.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 43.105 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) The department shall coordinate among state agencies to develop a consumer protection web site. The web site shall serve as a one-stop web site for consumer information. At a minimum, the web site must provide links to information on:

      (a) Insurance information provided by the office of the insurance commissioner, including information on how to file consumer complaints against insurance companies, how to look up authorized insurers, and how to learn more about health insurance benefits;

      (b) Child care information provided by the department of early learning, including how to select a child care provider, how child care providers are rated, and information about product recalls;

      (c) Financial information provided by the department of financial institutions, including consumer information on financial fraud, investing, credit, and enforcement actions;

       (d) Health care information provided by the department of health, including health care provider listings and quality assurance information;

      (e) Home care information provided by the home care quality authority, including information to assist consumers in finding an in-home provider;

      (f) Licensing information provided by the department of licensing, including information regarding business, vehicle, and professional licensing; and

      (g) Other information available on existing state agency web sites that could be a helpful resource for consumers.

      (2) By July 1, 2008, state agencies shall report to the department on whether they maintain resources for consumers that could be made available through the consumer protection web site.

      (3) By September 1, 2008, the department shall make the consumer protection web site available to the public.

      (4) After September 1, 2008, the department, in coordination with other state agencies, shall develop a plan on how to build upon the consumer protection web site to create a consumer protection portal. The plan must also include an examination of the feasibility of developing a toll-free information line to support the consumer protection portal. The plan must be submitted to the governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature by December 1, 2008.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. (1) Within existing funds, the attorney general shall conduct a study to:

      (a) Determine the percentage of consumer complaints of possible consumer protection act violations received by its consumer resource centers that are resolved to the consumer's satisfaction; and

      (b) Develop possible sanctions that the attorney general may use if it determines that a consumer's complaint is legitimate and the business fails to provide the consumer with an adequate remedy or response.

      (2) The attorney general shall report its findings to the legislature by December 1, 2008.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. Section 3 of this act expires December 31, 2008."

      The measure was read the second time.

MOTION

      Senator Keiser moved that the following committee striking amendment by the Committee on Ways & Means be adopted.

      Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

      "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that Washingtonians sixty-five years of age and older will nearly double in the next twenty years, from eleven percent of our population today to almost twenty percent of our population in 2025. Younger people with disabilities will also require supportive long-term care services. Nationally, young people with a disability account for thirty seven percent of the total number of people who need long-term care.

      The legislature further finds that to address this increasing need, the long-term care system should support autonomy and self-determination, and support the role of informal caregivers and families. It should promote personal planning and savings combined with public support, when needed. It should also include culturally appropriate, high quality information, services, and supports delivered in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

      The legislature further finds that more than fifteen percent of adults over age sixty-five in Washington state have diabetes. Current nurse delegation statutes limit the ability of elderly and disabled persons with diabetes to remain in their own homes or in other home-like long-term care settings. It is the intent of the legislature to modify nurse delegation statutes to enable elderly persons and persons with disabilities who have diabetes to continue to reside in their own home or other home-like settings.

      The legislature further finds that the long-term care system should utilize evidence-based practices for the prevention and management of chronic disease to improve the general health of Washingtonians over their lifetime and reduce health care and long-term care costs related to ineffective chronic care management.

      Sec. 2. RCW 74.41.040 and 1987 c 409 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:

      The department shall administer this chapter and shall establish such rules and standards as the department deems necessary in carrying out this chapter.

      The department shall develop standards for the respite program in conjunction with the selected area agencies on aging. The program standards shall serve as the basis for soliciting bids, entering into subcontracts, and developing sliding fee scales to be used in determining the ability of eligible participants to participate in paying for respite care.

      Sec. 3. RCW 18.20.350 and 2004 c 142 s 7 are each amended to read as follows:

For purposes of this section, "emergency" includes, but is not limited to: Evening, weekend, or Friday afternoon admissions if the resident applicant would otherwise need to remain in an unsafe setting or be without adequate and safe housing.

      (3) The boarding home licensee shall complete an initial resident service plan upon move-in to identify the resident's immediate needs and to provide direction to staff and caregivers relating to the resident's immediate needs. The initial resident service plan shall include as much information as can be obtained, under subsection (1) of this section.

      (4) When a facility provides respite care, before or at the time of admission, the facility must obtain sufficient information to meet the individual's anticipated needs. At a minimum, such information must include:

      (a) The name, address, and telephone number of the individual's attending physician, and alternate physician if any;

      (b) Medical and social history, which may be obtained from a respite care assessment and service plan performed by a case manager designated by an area agency on aging under contract with the department, and mental and physical assessment data;

      (c) Physician's orders for diet, medication, and routine care consistent with the individual's status on admission;

      (d) Ensure the individuals have assessments performed, where needed, and where the assessment of the individual reveals symptoms of tuberculosis, follow required tuberculosis testing requirements; and

      (e) With the participation of the individual and, where appropriate, their representative, develop a plan of care to maintain or improve their health and functional status during their stay in the facility.

      Sec. 4. RCW 74.41.050 and 2000 c 207 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:

      (3) The department may designate area agencies in cities of not less than twenty thousand population or in regional areas within the state. These agencies shall submit area plans, as required by the department.

      (2) A registered nurse may, at or under the general direction of a licensed physician and surgeon, dentist, osteopathic physician and surgeon, naturopathic physician, podiatric physician and surgeon, physician assistant, osteopathic physician assistant, or advanced registered nurse practitioner acting within the scope of his or her license, administer medications, treatments, tests, and inoculations, whether or not the severing or penetrating of tissues is involved and whether or not a degree of independent judgment and skill is required. Such direction must be for acts which are within the scope of registered nursing practice.

      (3) A registered nurse may delegate tasks of nursing care to other individuals where the registered nurse determines that it is in the best interest of the patient.

      (a) The delegating nurse shall:

      (i) Determine the competency of the individual to perform the tasks;

Acts that require nursing judgment shall not be delegated.

      (d) No person may coerce a nurse into compromising patient safety by requiring the nurse to delegate if the nurse determines that it is inappropriate to do so. Nurses shall not be subject to any employer reprisal or disciplinary action by the nursing care quality assurance commission for refusing to delegate tasks or refusing to provide the required training for delegation if the nurse determines delegation may compromise patient safety.

      (e) For delegation in community-based care settings or in-home care settings, a registered nurse may delegate nursing care tasks only to registered or certified nursing assistants. Simple care tasks such as blood pressure monitoring, personal care service, diabetic insulin device set up, verbal verification of insulin dosage for sight-impaired individuals, or other tasks as defined by the nursing care quality assurance commission are exempted from this requirement.

      (i) "Community-based care settings" includes: Community residential programs for ((the developmentally disabled)) people with developmental disabilities, certified by the department of social and health services under chapter 71A.12 RCW; adult family homes licensed under chapter 70.128 RCW; and boarding homes licensed under chapter 18.20 RCW.

      (iii) Delegation of nursing care tasks in community-based care settings and in-home care settings is only allowed for individuals who have a stable and predictable condition. "Stable and predictable condition" means a situation in which the individual's clinical and behavioral status is known and does not require the frequent presence and evaluation of a registered nurse.

       (iv) The determination of the appropriateness of delegation of a nursing task is at the discretion of the registered nurse. ((However)) Other than delegation of the administration of insulin by injection for the purpose of caring for individuals with diabetes, the administration of medications by injection, sterile procedures, and central line maintenance may never be delegated.

      (v) When delegating insulin injections under this section, the registered nurse delegator must instruct the individual regarding proper injection procedures and the use of insulin, demonstrate proper injection procedures, and must supervise and evaluate the individual performing the delegated task weekly during the first four weeks of delegation of insulin injections. If the registered nurse delegator determines that the individual is competent to perform the injection properly and safely, supervision and evaluation shall occur at least every ninety days thereafter.

      (vi) The registered nurse shall verify that the nursing assistant has completed the required core nurse delegation training required in chapter 18.88A RCW prior to authorizing delegation.

      (((vi))) (vii) The nurse is accountable for his or her own individual actions in the delegation process. Nurses acting within the protocols of their delegation authority are immune from liability for any action performed in the course of their delegation duties.

      (((vii))) (viii) Nursing task delegation protocols are not intended to regulate the settings in which delegation may occur, but are intended to ensure that nursing care services have a consistent standard of practice upon which the public and the profession may rely, and to safeguard the authority of the nurse to make independent professional decisions regarding the delegation of a task.

      (f) The nursing care quality assurance commission may adopt rules to implement this section.

      (4) Only a person licensed as a registered nurse may instruct nurses in technical subjects pertaining to nursing.

      (2) For purposes of compliance with this chapter, including identifying certified payroll records to be requested from a contractor or subcontractor, every contract and subcontract for the construction, reconstruction, maintenance, or repair of any public work, to which the state or any county, municipality, or political subdivision created by its laws is a party, must contain a provision requiring the contractor and all subcontractors to submit a certified list of any off-site prefabricated, nonstandard, project-specific products that are supplied under the terms of each respective contract. The list must identify: (a) The type of product produced; (b) the contractor or subcontractor's name; (c) the contractor or subcontractor's employer identification number; (d) the labor hours expended producing the product; and (e) the hourly rate of wages paid in each trade or occupation producing the product. The provision in the contract or subcontract must indicate that the list requirement does not apply to a contractor or subcontractor who submits a statement of intent to pay prevailing wages under RCW 39.12.040(1).

      Sec. 2. RCW 39.12.040 and 2007 c 210 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1)(a) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, before payment is made by or on behalf of the state, or any county, municipality, or political subdivision created by its laws, of any sum or sums due on account of a public works contract, it shall be the duty of the officer or person charged with the custody and disbursement of public funds to require the contractor and each and every subcontractor from the contractor or a subcontractor to submit to such officer a "Statement of Intent to Pay Prevailing Wages". For a contract in excess of ten thousand dollars, the statement of intent to pay prevailing wages shall include:

      (((a))) (i) The contractor's registration certificate number; and

      (((b))) (ii) The prevailing rate of wage for each classification of workers entitled to prevailing wages under RCW 39.12.020 and the estimated number of workers in each classification. Each statement of intent to pay prevailing wages must be approved by the industrial statistician of the department of labor and industries before it is submitted to said officer.

      (b) Unless otherwise authorized by the department of labor and industries, each voucher claim submitted by a contractor for payment on a project estimate shall state that the prevailing wages have been paid in accordance with the prefiled statement or statements of intent to pay prevailing wages on file with the public agency.

      (c) For purposes of compliance with this chapter, including identifying certified payroll records to be requested from a contractor or subcontractor, for a public works project involving the off-site prefabrication of a nonstandard, project-specific product, before final acceptance of the project, the awarding agency must receive from the contractor or subcontractor of all such products a list certified by the contractor or subcontractor that identifies: (i) The contractor or subcontractor's name; (ii) the contractor or subcontractor's employer identification number; (iii) the labor hours expended producing the product; and (iv) the hourly rate of wages paid in each trade or occupation producing the product. The contractor or subcontractor must also submit a copy of the list to the department of labor and industries.

      (d) Following the final acceptance of a public works project, it shall be the duty of the officer charged with the disbursement of public funds, to require the contractor and each and every subcontractor from the contractor or a subcontractor to submit to such officer an "Affidavit of Wages Paid" before the funds retained according to the provisions of RCW 60.28.010 are released to the contractor. Each affidavit of wages paid must be certified by the industrial statistician of the department of labor and industries before it is submitted to said officer.

      (2) As an alternate to the procedures provided for in subsection (1) of this section, for public works projects of two thousand five hundred dollars or less and for projects where the limited public works process under RCW 39.04.155(3) is followed:

      (a) An awarding agency may authorize the contractor or subcontractor to submit the statement of intent to pay prevailing wages directly to the officer or person charged with the custody or disbursement of public funds in the awarding agency without approval by the industrial statistician of the department of labor and industries. The awarding agency shall retain such statement of intent to pay prevailing wages for a period of not less than three years.

      (b) Upon final acceptance of the public works project, the awarding agency shall require the contractor or subcontractor to submit an affidavit of wages paid. Upon receipt of the affidavit of wages paid, the awarding agency may pay the contractor or subcontractor in full, including funds that would otherwise be retained according to the provisions of RCW 60.28.010. Within thirty days of receipt of the affidavit of wages paid, the awarding agency shall submit the affidavit of wages paid to the industrial statistician of the department of labor and industries for approval.

      (c) A statement of intent to pay prevailing wages and an affidavit of wages paid shall be on forms approved by the department of labor and industries.

       (d) In the event of a wage claim and a finding for the claimant by the department of labor and industries where the awarding agency has used the alternative process provided for in subsection (2) of this section, the awarding agency shall pay the wages due directly to the claimant. If the contractor or subcontractor did not pay the wages stated in the affidavit of wages paid, the awarding agency may take action at law to seek reimbursement from the contractor or subcontractor of wages paid to the claimant, and may prohibit the contractor or subcontractor from bidding on any public works contract of the awarding agency for up to one year.

      (e) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to allow an awarding agency to subdivide any public works project of more than two thousand five hundred dollars for the purpose of circumventing the procedures required by ((RCW 39.12.040(1))) subsection (1) of this section.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 39.12 RCW to read as follows:

      If an interested party makes a written request of a contractor or subcontractor to file certified payroll records under rules regarding payroll which have been adopted by the department of labor and industries to enforce this chapter and the records requested are for the off-site prefabrication of a nonstandard, project-specific product, the contractor or subcontractor must file the certified copy of the payroll records with the awarding agency and the department of labor and industries."

      Providing for broader collection of biological samples for the DNA identification of convicted sex offenders and other persons.

      The measure was read the second time.

MOTION

      Senator Regala moved that the following committee striking amendment by the Committee on Human Services & Corrections be adopted.

      Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

      "Sec. 1. RCW 43.43.753 and 2002 c 289 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

      The legislature finds that recent developments in molecular biology and genetics have important applications for forensic science. It has been scientifically established that there is a unique pattern to the chemical structure of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contained in each cell of the human body. The process for identifying this pattern is called "DNA identification."

      The legislature further finds that DNA databases are important tools in criminal investigations, in the exclusion of individuals who are the subject of investigations or prosecutions, and in detecting recidivist acts. It is the policy of this state to assist federal, state, and local criminal justice and law enforcement agencies in both the identification and detection of individuals in criminal investigations and the identification and location of missing and unidentified persons. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the state to establish a DNA database and DNA data bank containing DNA samples submitted by persons convicted of felony offenses and other crimes as specified in RCW 43.43.754. DNA samples necessary for the identification of missing persons and unidentified human remains shall also be included in the DNA database.

      The legislature further finds that the DNA identification system used by the federal bureau of investigation and the Washington state patrol has no ability to predict genetic disease or predisposal to illness. Nonetheless, the legislature intends that biological samples collected under RCW 43.43.754, and DNA identification data obtained from the samples, be used only for purposes related to criminal investigation, identification of human remains or missing persons, or improving the operation of the system authorized under RCW 43.43.752 through 43.43.758.

      Sec. 2. RCW 43.43.754 and 2002 c 289 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) A biological sample must be collected for purposes of DNA identification analysis from:

      (a) Every adult or juvenile individual convicted of a felony((, stalking under RCW 9A.46.110, harassment under RCW 9A.46.020, communicating with a minor for immoral purposes under RCW 9.68A.090, or adjudicated guilty of an equivalent juvenile offense must have a biological sample collected for purposes of DNA identification analysis in the following manner)), or any of the following crimes (or equivalent juvenile offenses):

      Assault in the fourth degree with sexual motivation (RCW 9A.36.041, 9.94A.835)

      Communication with a minor for immoral purposes (RCW 9.68A.090)

      Custodial sexual misconduct in the second degree (RCW 9A.44.170)

      Failure to register (RCW 9A.44.130)

      Harassment (RCW 9A.46.020)

      Patronizing a prostitute (RCW 9A.88.110)

      Sexual misconduct with a minor in the second degree (RCW 9A.44.096)

      Stalking (RCW 9A.46.110)

      Violation of a sexual assault protection order granted under chapter 7.90 RCW; and

      (b) Every adult or juvenile individual who is required to register under RCW 9A.44.130.

      (2) If the Washington state patrol crime laboratory already has a DNA sample from an individual for a qualifying offense, a subsequent submission is not required to be submitted.

      (3) Biological samples shall be collected in the following manner:

      (a) For persons convicted of ((such offenses)) any offense listed in subsection (1)(a) of this section or adjudicated guilty of an equivalent juvenile offense who do not serve a term of confinement in a department of corrections facility, and do serve a term of confinement in a city or county jail facility, the city or county shall be responsible for obtaining the biological samples ((either as part of the intake process into the city or county jail or detention facility for those persons convicted on or after July 1, 2002, or within a reasonable time after July 1, 2002, for those persons incarcerated before July 1, 2002, who have not yet had a biological sample collected, beginning with those persons who will be released the soonest)).

      (b) The local police department or sheriff's office shall be responsible for obtaining the biological samples for:

      (i) Persons convicted of ((such offenses)) any offense listed in subsection (1)(a) of this section or adjudicated guilty of an equivalent juvenile offense who do not serve a term of confinement in a department of corrections facility, and do not serve a term of confinement in a city or county jail facility((, the local police department or sheriff's office is responsible for obtaining the biological samples after sentencing on or after July 1, 2002)); and

      (ii) Persons who are required to register under RCW 9A.44.030.

      (c) For persons convicted of ((such offenses)) any offense listed in subsection (1)(a) of this section or adjudicated guilty of an equivalent juvenile offense, who are serving or who are to serve a term of confinement in a department of corrections facility or a department of social and health services facility, the facility holding the person shall be responsible for obtaining the biological samples ((either as part of the intake process into such facility for those persons convicted on or after July 1, 2002, or within a reasonable time after July 1, 2002,)).

      (((2))) (4) Any biological sample taken pursuant to RCW 43.43.752 through 43.43.758 may be retained by the forensic laboratory services bureau, and shall be used solely for the purpose of providing DNA or other tests for identification analysis and prosecution of a criminal offense or for the identification of human remains or missing persons. Nothing in this section prohibits the submission of results derived from the biological samples to the federal bureau of investigation combined DNA index system.

      (((3))) (5) The ((director of the)) forensic laboratory services bureau of the Washington state patrol ((shall perform)) is responsible for testing performed on all biological samples that are collected under subsection (1) of this section, to the extent allowed by funding available for this purpose. The director shall give priority to testing on samples collected from those adults or juveniles convicted of a felony or adjudicated guilty of an equivalent juvenile offense that is defined as a sex offense or a violent offense in RCW 9.94A.030. Known duplicate samples may be excluded from testing unless testing is deemed necessary or advisable by the director.

      (((4) This section applies to all adults who are convicted of a sex or violent offense after July 1, 1990; and to all adults who were convicted of a sex or violent offense on or prior to July 1, 1990, and who are still incarcerated on or after July 25, 1999. This section applies to all juveniles who are adjudicated guilty of a sex or violent offense after July 1, 1994; and to all juveniles who were adjudicated guilty of a sex or violent offense on or prior to July 1, 1994, and who are still incarcerated on or after July 25, 1999. This section applies to all adults and juveniles who are convicted of a felony other than a sex or violent offense, stalking under RCW 9A.46.110, harassment under RCW 9A.46.020, or communicating with a minor for immoral purposes under RCW 9.68A.090, or adjudicated guilty of an equivalent juvenile offense, on or after July 1, 2002; and to all adults and juveniles who were convicted or adjudicated guilty of such an offense before July 1, 2002, and are still incarcerated on or after July 1, 2002.)) (6) This section applies to :

      (a) All adults and juveniles to whom this section applied prior to the effective date of this section;

      (b) All adults and juveniles to whom this section did not apply prior to the effective date of this section who:

      (((5))) (7) This section creates no rights in a third person. No cause of action may be brought based upon the noncollection or nonanalysis or the delayed collection or analysis of a biological sample authorized to be taken under RCW 43.43.752 through 43.43.758.

      (((6))) (8) The detention, arrest, or conviction of a person based upon a database match or database information is not invalidated if it is determined that the sample was obtained or placed in the database by mistake, or if the conviction or juvenile adjudication that resulted in the collection of the biological sample was subsequently vacated or otherwise altered in any future proceeding including but not limited to posttrial or postfact-finding motions, appeals, or collateral attacks.

      Sec. 3. RCW 43.43.7541 and 2002 c 289 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:

      Every sentence imposed under chapter 9.94A RCW((,)) for a ((felony)) crime specified in RCW 43.43.754 ((that is committed on or after July 1, 2002,)) must include a fee of one hundred dollars ((for collection of a biological sample as required under RCW 43.43.754, unless the court finds that imposing the fee would result in undue hardship on the offender)). The fee is a court-ordered legal financial obligation as defined in RCW 9.94A.030, payable by the offender after payment of all other legal financial obligations included in the sentence has been completed. The clerk of the court shall transmit eighty percent of the fee((s)) collected to the state treasurer for deposit in the state DNA database account created under RCW 43.43.7532, and shall transmit twenty percent of the fee collected to the agency responsible for collection of a biological sample from the offender as required under RCW 43.43.754.

      Providing a sales and use tax exemption for environmentally certified residential and commercial construction. Revised for 1st Substitute: Requiring a study on tax incentives to encourage green building.

      The measure was read the second time.

MOTION

      Senator Prentice moved that the following committee striking amendment by the Committee on Ways & Means be adopted.

      Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

      "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1)(a) The legislature finds that green building, also called "sustainable" or "high-performance" building, has significant environmental benefits. Buildings consume thirty-six percent of the energy used in the United States, more than factories and automobiles, and they generate thirty percent of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions. The construction of commercial, residential, public, or institutional buildings using energy-efficient techniques and environmentally sustainable products also connects to the state's climate change goals.

      (b) The legislature further finds that standards for green building provide an effective framework for green building practices. Some techniques have been shown to reduce building energy costs by twenty to fifty percent and water usage by at least fifty percent outdoors and thirty percent indoors. It is in the interest of the state to encourage the best green building practices through targeted incentives and policies.

      (c) The legislature intends to establish a connection between green construction and the need for local governments to adopt "green" land use provisions, permitting standards, and building codes that allow green building, in order to achieve the most effective climate change policies.

      (2) The department of community, trade, and economic development shall conduct a study to determine the potential feasibility and effectiveness of providing tax incentives to encourage green building in commercial, residential, and public buildings. The department of revenue shall provide any tax-related data necessary for the department of community, trade, and economic development to perform the study.

       (3) In conducting the study, the department of community, trade, and economic development shall:

      (a) Identify existing tax incentives with the primary purpose of encouraging green building;

      (b) Propose tax incentives that would encourage green building, with special emphasis on sales and use tax exemptions on green building construction activities and business and occupation tax incentives for contractors or architects that build or design green buildings;

      (c) Provide an estimate on the fiscal cost for each tax incentive identified under (b) of this subsection;

      (d) Provide an estimate of cost savings and emission reductions for the estimated number of buildings that would qualify for a tax incentive identified under (b) of this subsection;

      (e) Recommend other tax and programmatic policy changes that would encourage green building;

      (f) Evaluate whether tax incentives should target communities that encourage green building; and

      (g) Evaluate current trends in green building and whether tax incentives would support these trends.

      (4) The department of community, trade, and economic development may include any other information in the study that it deems necessary for the legislative evaluation of potential tax incentives to encourage green building.

      (5) By December 1, 2008, the department of community, trade, and economic development shall report its findings and recommendations to the appropriate committees of the legislature."

      (b) The sovereign tribal nation and the appropriate local government shall agree to an arbitration panel consisting of three members. Each party shall name one person to serve as its arbitrator on the arbitration panel.

      (1) This section governs records relating to the commission of juvenile offenses, including records relating to diversions.

      (2) The official juvenile court file of any alleged or proven juvenile offender shall be open to public inspection, unless sealed pursuant to subsection (12) of this section.

      (3) All records other than the official juvenile court file are confidential and may be released only as provided in this section, RCW 13.50.010, 13.40.215, and 4.24.550.

      (4) Except as otherwise provided in this section and RCW 13.50.010, records retained or produced by any juvenile justice or care agency may be released to other participants in the juvenile justice or care system only when an investigation or case involving the juvenile in question is being pursued by the other participant or when that other participant is assigned the responsibility for supervising the juvenile.

      (5) Except as provided in RCW 4.24.550, information not in an official juvenile court file concerning a juvenile or a juvenile's family may be released to the public only when that information could not reasonably be expected to identify the juvenile or the juvenile's family.

      (6) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the release, to the juvenile or his or her attorney, of law enforcement and prosecuting attorneys' records pertaining to investigation, diversion, and prosecution of juvenile offenses shall be governed by the rules of discovery and other rules of law applicable in adult criminal investigations and prosecutions.

       (7) Upon the decision to arrest or the arrest, law enforcement and prosecuting attorneys may cooperate with schools in releasing information to a school pertaining to the investigation, diversion, and prosecution of a juvenile attending the school. Upon the decision to arrest or the arrest, incident reports may be released unless releasing the records would jeopardize the investigation or prosecution or endanger witnesses. If release of incident reports would jeopardize the investigation or prosecution or endanger witnesses, law enforcement and prosecuting attorneys may release information to the maximum extent possible to assist schools in protecting other students, staff, and school property.

      (8) The juvenile court and the prosecutor may set up and maintain a central record-keeping system which may receive information on all alleged juvenile offenders against whom a complaint has been filed pursuant to RCW 13.40.070 whether or not their cases are currently pending before the court. The central record-keeping system may be computerized. If a complaint has been referred to a diversion unit, the diversion unit shall promptly report to the juvenile court or the prosecuting attorney when the juvenile has agreed to diversion. An offense shall not be reported as criminal history in any central record-keeping system without notification by the diversion unit of the date on which the offender agreed to diversion.

      (9) Upon request of the victim of a crime or the victim's immediate family, the identity of an alleged or proven juvenile offender alleged or found to have committed a crime against the victim and the identity of the alleged or proven juvenile offender's parent, guardian, or custodian and the circumstance of the alleged or proven crime shall be released to the victim of the crime or the victim's immediate family.

      (10) Subject to the rules of discovery applicable in adult criminal prosecutions, the juvenile offense records of an adult criminal defendant or witness in an adult criminal proceeding shall be released upon request to prosecution and defense counsel after a charge has actually been filed. The juvenile offense records of any adult convicted of a crime and placed under the supervision of the adult corrections system shall be released upon request to the adult corrections system.

      (11) In any case in which an information has been filed pursuant to RCW 13.40.100 or a complaint has been filed with the prosecutor and referred for diversion pursuant to RCW 13.40.070, the person the subject of the information or complaint may file a motion with the court to have the court vacate its order and findings, if any, and, subject to subsection (23) of this section, order the sealing of the official juvenile court file, the social file, and records of the court and of any other agency in the case.

      (12) The court shall not grant any motion to seal records made pursuant to subsection (11) of this section that is filed on or after July 1, 1997, unless it finds that:

      (a) For class B offenses other than sex offenses, since the last date of release from confinement, including full-time residential treatment, if any, or entry of disposition, the person has spent five consecutive years in the community without committing any offense or crime that subsequently results in conviction. For class C offenses other than sex offenses, since the last date of release from confinement, including full-time residential treatment, if any, or entry of disposition, the person has spent two consecutive years in the community without committing any offense or crime that subsequently results in conviction. For gross misdemeanors and misdemeanors, since the last date of release from confinement, including full-time residential treatment, if any, or entry of disposition, the person has spent two consecutive years in the community without committing any offense or crime that subsequently results in conviction. For diversions, since completion of the diversion agreement, the person has spent two consecutive years in the community without committing any offense or crime that subsequently results in conviction or diversion;

      (b) No proceeding is pending against the moving party seeking the conviction of a juvenile offense or a criminal offense;

      (c) No proceeding is pending seeking the formation of a diversion agreement with that person;

      (d) The person has not been convicted of a class A or sex offense; and

      (e) Full restitution has been paid.

      (13) The person making a motion pursuant to subsection (11) of this section shall give reasonable notice of the motion to the prosecution and to any person or agency whose files are sought to be sealed.

      (14) If the court grants the motion to seal made pursuant to subsection (11) of this section, it shall, subject to subsection (23) of this section, order sealed the official juvenile court file, the social file, and other records relating to the case as are named in the order. Thereafter, the proceedings in the case shall be treated as if they never occurred, and the subject of the records may reply accordingly to any inquiry about the events, records of which are sealed. Any agency shall reply to any inquiry concerning confidential or sealed records that records are confidential, and no information can be given about the existence or nonexistence of records concerning an individual.

      (15) Inspection of the files and records included in the order to seal may thereafter be permitted only by order of the court upon motion made by the person who is the subject of the information or complaint, except as otherwise provided in RCW 13.50.010(8) and subsection (23) of this section.

      (16) Any adjudication of a juvenile offense or a crime subsequent to sealing has the effect of nullifying the sealing order. Any charging of an adult felony subsequent to the sealing has the effect of nullifying the sealing order for the purposes of chapter 9.94A RCW. The administrative office of the courts shall ensure that the superior court judicial information system provides prosecutors access to information on the existence of sealed juvenile records.

      (17)(a) ((A person eighteen years of age or older whose criminal history consists of only one referral for diversion may request that the court order the records in that case destroyed. The request shall be granted, subject to subsection (23) of this section, if the court finds that two years have elapsed since completion of the diversion agreement.)) (i) Subject to subsection (23) of this section, all records maintained by any court or law enforcement agency, including the juvenile court, local law enforcement, the Washington state patrol, and the prosecutor's office, shall be automatically destroyed within ninety days of becoming eligible for destruction. Juvenile records are eligible for destruction when:

      (A) The person who is the subject of the information or complaint is at least eighteen years of age;

      (B) His or her criminal history consists entirely of one diversion agreement or counsel and release entered on or after the effective date of this act;

       (C) Two years have elapsed since completion of the agreement or counsel and release;

      (D) No proceeding is pending against the person seeking the conviction of a criminal offense; and

      (E) There is no restitution owing in the case.

The juvenile court shall verify eligibility and notify the Washington state patrol and the appropriate local law enforcement agency and prosecutor's office of the records to be destroyed. The requirement to destroy records under this subsection is not dependent on a court hearing or the issuance of a court order to destroy records.

      (iii) The state and local governments and their officers and employees are not liable for civil damages for the failure to destroy records pursuant to this section.

      (b) A person eighteen years of age or older whose criminal history consists entirely of one diversion agreement or counsel and release entered prior to the effective date of this act, may request that the court order the records in his or her case destroyed. The request shall be granted, subject to subsection (23) of this section, if the court finds that two years have elapsed since completion of the agreement or counsel and release.

      (c) A person twenty-three years of age or older whose criminal history consists of only referrals for diversion may request that the court order the records in those cases destroyed. The request shall be granted, subject to subsection (23) of this section, if the court finds that all diversion agreements have been successfully completed and no proceeding is pending against the person seeking the conviction of a criminal offense.

      (18) If the court grants the motion to destroy records made pursuant to subsection (17)(b) or (c) of this section, it shall, subject to subsection (23) of this section, order the official juvenile court file, the social file, and any other records named in the order to be destroyed.

      (19) The person making the motion pursuant to subsection (17)(b) or (c) of this section shall give reasonable notice of the motion to the prosecuting attorney and to any agency whose records are sought to be destroyed.

      (20) Any juvenile to whom the provisions of this section may apply shall be given written notice of his or her rights under this section at the time of his or her disposition hearing or during the diversion process.

      (21) Nothing in this section may be construed to prevent a crime victim or a member of the victim's family from divulging the identity of the alleged or proven juvenile offender or his or her family when necessary in a civil proceeding.

      (22) Any juvenile justice or care agency may, subject to the limitations in subsection (23) of this section and (a) and (b) of this subsection, develop procedures for the routine destruction of records relating to juvenile offenses and diversions.

      (a) Records may be routinely destroyed only when the person the subject of the information or complaint has attained twenty-three years of age or older((, or is eighteen years of age or older and his or her criminal history consists entirely of one diversion agreement and two years have passed since completion of the agreement)) or pursuant to subsection (17)(a) of this section.

      Regarding the creation of the Washington head start program.

      The measure was read the second time.

MOTION

      Senator McAuliffe moved that the following committee striking amendment by the Committee on Ways & Means be adopted.

      Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

      "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that:

      (1) It is in the best interest of the state to provide early learning services to economically disadvantaged families;

      (2) Research has demonstrated that comprehensive services, including family support services designed to meet the early education needs of low-income and at-risk children, are successful in improving school readiness, reducing the risk of juvenile delinquency and incarceration, and reducing reliance on public assistance among these children later in life;

      (3) The state's early childhood education and assistance program was originally established to serve as the state counterpart to the federal head start program. When it was created, it aligned with the federal program in both standards and funding levels;

      (4) The state early childhood education and assistance program has served an important role in providing comprehensive services to low-income children. However, since it was first created, per-child funding levels for the state program have not kept pace with funding levels for the federal program. This has resulted in fewer service hours for children and less intensive services for families;

      (5) Aligning performance standards and funding levels for the state early childhood education and assistance program with federal head start will improve the quality of state-supported early learning programs. Additionally, it will improve school readiness through measures, such as a forty percent increase in class time, and it will achieve administrative efficiencies and make state-supported services more easily recognizable and accessible to parents and families eligible for these programs; and

       (6) Providing quality early learning services for children from birth to age three is the most cost-effective investment society can make. Additionally, the state can use the demonstrated results from the federal early head start program as an example to expand its reach of services already provided to three and four-year old children to children in the critical birth to three years age category.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. (1) Within existing funds, the department shall develop a proposal for implementing a statewide Washington head start program. To the extent possible while maintaining quality standards, the proposal should align the state early childhood education and assistance program with federal head start program eligibility criteria, guidelines, performance standards, and methods/processes for ensuring continuous improvement in program quality. In this proposal, the department shall make recommendations that:

      (a) Identify federal head start program guidelines, performance measures and standards, or other requirements for which state flexibility would be recommended. This shall include an analysis of how state flexibility may impact outcomes for children and how that flexibility might deviate from outcomes associated with the federal standards. Areas to be examined must include, but are not limited to, transportation requirements, service hour configurations, delivery methods, and impact on rural programs;

      (b) Provide comparative data regarding child performance, readiness, and educational outcomes for Washington's existing head start and early childhood education and assistance programs;

      (c) Determine the alignment between head start standards and the recommendations of Washington learns;

      (d) Identify any change in the state early childhood education and assistance program laws that would be required to implement the Washington head start proposal;

      (e) Identify additional resources needed to meet federal guidelines and standards. Areas to be examined must include, but are not limited to: Per-child funding levels, professional development and training needs, facilities needs, and technical assistance;

      (f) Identify state early childhood education and assistance programs that do and do not offer full-day, full-year services to children, and what transition steps would be needed for these programs to operate in the same manner as federal head start programs;

      (g) Provide steps for phasing-in the Washington head start proposal;

      (h) Include a timeline, strategy, and funding needs to implement a statewide, state-supported early head start program as a component of the Washington head start proposal; and

      (i) Detail the process the department would take with the regional office of federal head start in identifying any exceptions or waivers needed to provide flexibility and maintain high quality standards.

      (2) In developing its recommendations for this proposal, the department shall seek, where appropriate and available, training or technical assistance from the appropriate regional office of federal head start in order to maximize nonstate resources that might be available for the consultative work and research involved with developing this proposal. The department also shall consult with and solicit input from:

      (a) State early childhood education and assistance program providers on Indian reservations and across the state, including providers who operate solely state-supported programs;

      (b) Tribal governments operating head start programs and early head start programs in the state to ensure that the needs of Indian and Alaskan native children and their families are incorporated into the recommendations of the proposal, especially as they pertain to standards or guidelines around language acquisition, school readiness, availability and need for services among Indian and Alaskan native children and their families, and curriculum development; and

      (c) Providers operating migrant and seasonal head start programs in the state in order to address the needs of the children of migrant and seasonal farmworker families.

      (3) The department shall make recommendations on how it would periodically review the standards and guidelines within the Washington head start program, including incorporation of the latest research and information on early childhood development as well as any new innovations that may further improve outcomes to low-income children and their families.

       (4) The department shall deliver its report to the governor and legislature by December 1, 2009.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. Sections 1 and 2 of this act are each added to chapter 43.215 RCW."

MOTION

Senator Kauffman moved that the following amendment by Senator Kauffman and others to the committee striking amendment be adopted.

      On page 3, line 37 of the amendment, after "families." insert the following:

      Sec. 2. RCW 46.20.308 and 2005 c 314 s 307 and 2005 c 269 s 1 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

      (1) Any person who operates a motor vehicle within this state is deemed to have given consent, subject to the provisions of RCW 46.61.506, to a test or tests of his or her breath or blood for the purpose of determining the alcohol concentration or presence of any drug in his or her breath or blood if arrested for any offense where, at the time of the arrest, the arresting officer has reasonable grounds to believe the person had been driving or was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug or was in violation of RCW 46.61.503. Neither consent nor this section precludes a police officer from obtaining a search warrant for a person's breath or blood.

      (2) The test or tests of breath shall be administered at the direction of a law enforcement officer having reasonable grounds to believe the person to have been driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle within this state while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug or the person to have been driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while having alcohol in a concentration in violation of RCW 46.61.503 in his or her system and being under the age of twenty-one. However, in those instances where the person is incapable due to physical injury, physical incapacity, or other physical limitation, of providing a breath sample or where the person is being treated in a hospital, clinic, doctor's office, emergency medical vehicle, ambulance, or other similar facility or where the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person is under the influence of a drug, a blood test shall be administered by a qualified person as provided in RCW 46.61.506(5). The officer shall inform the person of his or her right to refuse the breath or blood test, and of his or her right to have additional tests administered by any qualified person of his or her choosing as provided in RCW 46.61.506. The officer shall warn the driver, in substantially the following language, that:

      (a) If the driver refuses to take the test, the driver's license, permit, or privilege to drive will be revoked or denied for at least one year; and

      (b) If the driver refuses to take the test, the driver's refusal to take the test may be used in a criminal trial; and

      (c) If the driver submits to the test and the test is administered, the driver's license, permit, or privilege to drive will be suspended, revoked, or denied for at least ninety days if the driver is age twenty-one or over and the test indicates the alcohol concentration of the driver's breath or blood is 0.08 or more, or if the driver is under age twenty-one and the test indicates the alcohol concentration of the driver's breath or blood is 0.02 or more, or if the driver is under age twenty-one and the driver is in violation of RCW 46.61.502 or 46.61.504; and

      (d) If the driver's license, permit, or privilege to drive is suspended, revoked, or denied the driver may be eligible to immediately apply for an ignition interlock driver's license.

       (4) Any person who is dead, unconscious, or who is otherwise in a condition rendering him or her incapable of refusal, shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided by subsection (1) of this section and the test or tests may be administered, subject to the provisions of RCW 46.61.506, and the person shall be deemed to have received the warnings required under subsection (2) of this section.

      (5) If, following his or her arrest and receipt of warnings under subsection (2) of this section, the person arrested refuses upon the request of a law enforcement officer to submit to a test or tests of his or her breath or blood, no test shall be given except as authorized under subsection (3) or (4) of this section.

      (6) If, after arrest and after the other applicable conditions and requirements of this section have been satisfied, a test or tests of the person's blood or breath is administered and the test results indicate that the alcohol concentration of the person's breath or blood is 0.08 or more if the person is age twenty-one or over, or 0.02 or more if the person is under the age of twenty-one, or the person refuses to submit to a test, the arresting officer or other law enforcement officer at whose direction any test has been given, or the department, where applicable, if the arrest results in a test of the person's blood, shall:
