      (1) All recreational and commercial licenses, permits, tags, stamps, and raffle tickets shall be issued under the authority of the commission.  The commission shall adopt rules for the issuance of licenses, permits, tags, stamps, and raffle tickets, and for the collection, payment, and handling of license fees, including terms and conditions to govern dealers, and dealer fees.  A transaction fee on commercial and recreational documents issued through an automated licensing system may be set by the commission and collected from licensees.  The department may authorize all or part of such fee to be paid directly to a contractor providing automated licensing system services.  The department and dealers shall collect and retain dealer fees of at least two dollars for purchase of a standard hunting or fishing recreational license document or commercial license document, except that:
      (a) The commission may set a lower dealer fee for issuance of tags or when a licensee buys a license that involves a stamp or display card format rather than a standard department licensing document form; and
      (b) No dealer fees may be collected for the issuance of a discover pass or day-use permit, as those terms are defined in RCW 79A.80.010.  Dealer fees must be uniform throughout the state.

      (2) Until September 1, 2011, the department shall charge an additional transaction fee of ten percent on all recreational licenses, permits, tags, stamps, or raffle tickets.  These transaction fees must be deposited into the state wildlife account, created in RCW 77.12.170, for funding fishing and hunting opportunities for recreational license holders.

      (c) $5,850,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2012, $5,850,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013, and $1,300,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for the western Washington regional support networks to provide either community- or hospital campus-based services for persons who require the level of care previously provided by the program for adaptive living skills (PALS) at western state hospital.

      (h) $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2012 and $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013 are provided solely to continue performance-based incentive contracts to provide appropriate community support services for individuals with severe mental illness who were discharged from the state hospitals as part of the expanding community services initiative.  These funds will be used to enhance community residential and support services provided by regional support networks through other state and federal funding.

      (i) $1,125,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2012 and $1,125,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013 are provided solely for the Spokane regional support network to implement services to reduce utilization and the census at eastern state hospital.  Such services shall include:

      At least annually, the Spokane regional support network shall assess the effectiveness of these services in reducing utilization at eastern state hospital, identify services that are not optimally effective, and modify those services to improve their effectiveness.

      (j) $1,529,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2012 and $1,529,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013 are provided solely to reimburse Pierce and Spokane counties for the cost of conducting 180-day commitment hearings at the state psychiatric hospitals.

      (k) Regional support networks may use local funds to earn additional federal medicaid match, provided the locally matched rate does not exceed the upper-bound of their federally allowable rate range, and provided that the enhanced funding is used only to provide medicaid state plan or waiver services to medicaid clients.  Additionally, regional support networks may use a portion of the state funds allocated in accordance with (a) of this subsection to earn additional medicaid match, but only to the extent that the application of such funds to medicaid services does not diminish the level of crisis and commitment, community inpatient, residential care, and outpatient services presently available to persons not eligible for medicaid.

      (l) Given the recent approval of federal medicaid matching funds for the disability lifeline and the alcohol and drug abuse treatment support act programs, the department shall charge regional support networks for only the state share rather than the total cost of community psychiatric hospitalization for persons enrolled in those programs.

      (m) $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2012, $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013, and $1,500,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely to adjust regional support network capitation rates to account for the per diem rates actually paid for psychiatric care provided at hospitals participating in the certified public expenditure program operated pursuant to section 213 of this act.

      (((g))) (f)(i) Within the amounts appropriated in this subsection, the department shall revise the current working age adult policy to allow clients to choose between employment and community access activities.  Clients age 21 and older who are receiving services through a home- and  community-based medicaid waiver shall be offered the choice to transition to a community access program after nine months of enrollment in an employment program, and the option to transition from a community access program to an employment program at any time.  The department shall inform clients and their legal representatives of all available options for employment and day services.  Information provided to the client and the client's legal representative shall include the types of activities each service option provides, and the amount, scope, and duration of service for which the client would be eligible under each service option.  An individual client may be authorized for only one service option, either employment services or community access services.  Clients may not participate in more than one of these services at any given time.

      (ii) The department shall work with counties and stakeholders to strengthen and expand the existing community access program.  The program must emphasize support for the client so they are able to participate in activities that integrate them into their community and support independent living and skills.

      (iii) The appropriation in this subsection includes funding to provide employment or community access services to 168 medicaid eligible young adults with developmental disabilities living with their families who need employment opportunities and assistance after high school graduation.

      (i) The current annual renewal license fee for adult family homes shall be increased to $100 per bed beginning in fiscal year 2012 and  $175 per bed beginning in fiscal year 2013.  Adult family homes shall receive a corresponding vendor rate increase per medicaid patient day  of $0.22 in fiscal year 2012 and $0.43 in fiscal year 2013 to cover the cost of the license fee increase for publicly funded beds.

      (ii) Beginning in fiscal year 2012, a processing fee of $2,750 shall be charged to each adult family home when the home is initially licensed.  This fee is nonrefundable.

      (((j))) (i) Clients with developmental disabilities have demonstrated a need and a desire for a day services program as verified by over 900 clients currently accessing day programs through a long- term care service model.  In addition, every individual, to include those with a developmental disability, should have the opportunity for meaningful employment which allows them to contribute to their communities and to become as self-sufficient as possible.  Providing choice empowers recipients of publicly funded services and their families by expanding their degree of control over the services and supports they need.

      The department shall work with legislators and stakeholders to develop a new approach to employment and day services.  The objective of this plan is to ensure that adults with developmental disabilities have optimum choices, and that employment and day offerings are comprehensive enough to meet the needs of all clients currently served on a home and community based waiver.  The proposal shall be submitted to the 2012 legislature for consideration and shall be constructed such that a client ultimately receives employment, community access, or the community day option but not more than one service at a time.  The proposal shall include options for program efficiencies within the current employment and day structure and shall provide details on the plan to implement a consistent, statewide outcome-based vendor contract for employment and day services as specified in (c) of this subsection.

      (a) Within the funds provided, the department shall continue to provide an add-on per medicaid resident day per facility not to exceed $1.57.  The add-on shall be used to increase wages, benefits, and/or staffing levels for certified nurse aides; or to increase wages and/or benefits for dietary aides, housekeepers, laundry aides, or any other category of worker whose statewide average dollars-per-hour wage was less than $15 in calendar year 2008, according to cost report data.  The add-on may also be used to address resulting wage compression for related job classes immediately affected by wage increases to low-wage workers.  The department shall continue reporting requirements and a settlement process to ensure that the funds are spent according to this subsection.

      (d) The department shall provide a medicaid rate add-on to reimburse the medicaid share of the skilled nursing facility safety net assessment as a medicaid allowable cost.  The nursing facility safety net rate add-on may not be included in the calculation of the annual statewide weighted average nursing facility payment rate.

      (2) After examining actual nursing facility cost information, the legislature finds that the medicaid nursing facility rates calculated pursuant to Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5581 (nursing home payments) provide sufficient reimbursement to efficiently and economically operating nursing facilities and bear a reasonable relationship to costs.

      (3) In accordance with chapter 74.46 RCW, the department shall issue no additional certificates of capital authorization for fiscal year 2012 and no new certificates of capital authorization for fiscal year 2013 and shall grant no rate add-ons to payment rates for capital improvements not requiring a certificate of need and a certificate of capital authorization for fiscal years 2012 and 2013.

      (v) Electrical training programs of less than two years may not be credited towards qualification for journeyman electrician unless the training program is used to gain qualification for a four thousand hour electrical specialty.

      (k) No other requirement for eligibility may be imposed.

      (2) The department shall establish reasonable rules for the examinations to be given applicants for certificates of competency.  In establishing the rules, the department shall consult with the board.  Upon determination that the applicant is eligible to take the examination, the department shall so notify the applicant, indicating the time and place for taking the examination.

      (3) No noncertified individual may work unsupervised more than one year beyond the date when the trainee would be eligible to test for a certificate of competency if working on a full-time basis after original application for the trainee certificate.  For the purposes of this section, full-time basis means two thousand hours."

"Sec. 1.  RCW 29A.08.210 and 2009 c 369 s 16 are each amended to read as follows:

      An applicant for voter registration shall complete an application providing the following information concerning his or her qualifications as a voter in this state:

      (1) The former address of the applicant if previously registered to vote;

      (2) The applicant's full name;

      (3) The applicant's date of birth;

      (4) The address of the applicant's residence for voting purposes;

      (6) The sex of the applicant;

      (9) A check box allowing the applicant to confirm that he or she is at least eighteen years of age or will be eighteen years of age by the next election;

      (10) Clear and conspicuous language, designed to draw the applicant's attention, stating that the applicant must be a United States citizen in order to register to vote;

      (11) A check box and declaration confirming that the applicant is a citizen of the United States;

      (12) An applicant must provide the county auditor with documented proof of citizenship before he or she may be allowed to register.  Documented proof of citizenship includes:

      (((13))) (14) The oath required by RCW 29A.08.230 and a space for the applicant's signature; and

      (((14))) (15) Any other information that the secretary of state determines is necessary to establish the identity of the applicant and prevent duplicate or fraudulent voter registrations.

      This information shall be recorded on a single registration form to be prescribed by the secretary of state.

Sec. 2.  RCW 29A.08.330 and 2009 c 369 s 20 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) The secretary of state shall prescribe the method of voter registration for each designated agency.  The agency shall use either the state voter registration by mail form with a separate declination form for the applicant to indicate that he or she declines to register at this time, or the agency may use a separate form approved for use by the secretary of state.

      (2) The person providing service at the agency shall offer voter registration services to every client whenever he or she applies for service or assistance and with each renewal, recertification, or change of address.  The person providing service shall give the applicant the same level of assistance with the voter registration application as is offered to fill out the agency's forms and documents, including information about age and citizenship requirements for voter registration.

      (3) The person providing service at the agency shall determine if the prospective applicant wants to register to vote or transfer his or her voter registration by asking the following question:

 

      "Do you want to register to vote or transfer your voter registration?"

 

      If the applicant chooses to register or transfer a registration, the service agent shall ask the following:

 

      (a) "Are you a United States citizen?"

      (a) A driver's license number or government-issued identification if citizenship is indicated;
      (b) A photocopy of a birth certificate;
      (c) A passport; or
      (d) Naturalization documents or a certificate of naturalization.
      (5) If the applicant provides sufficient proof of citizenship, the agent shall then provide the applicant with a voter registration form and instructions and shall record that the applicant has requested to register to vote or transfer a voter registration.  If the applicant answers in the negative to either question, the agent shall not provide the applicant with a voter registration form.

      (((4))) (6) If an agency uses a computerized application process, it may, in consultation with the secretary of state, develop methods to capture simultaneously the information required for voter registration during a person's computerized application process.

      (((5))) (7) Each designated agency shall transmit the applications to the secretary of state or appropriate county auditor within three business days.

Sec. 3.  RCW 46.20.155 and 2009 c 369 s 42 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) Before issuing an original license or identicard or renewing a license or identicard under this chapter, the licensing agent shall determine if the applicant wants to register to vote or transfer his or her voter registration by asking the following question:

 

      "Do you want to register to vote or transfer your voter registration?"

 

      If the applicant chooses to register or transfer a registration, the agent shall ask the following:

 

      (((1))) (a) "Are you a United States citizen?"

      (((2))) (b) "Are you or will you be eighteen years of age on or before the next election?"

 

      If the applicant answers in the affirmative to both questions, the agent shall then request to see documented proof as required in subsection (2) of this section and if such documentation is provided the agent shall submit the registration or transfer.  If the applicant answers in the negative to either question, or does not provide the required proof of citizenship, the agent shall not submit a voter registration application.

      (2) An applicant must provide documented proof of citizenship before he or she may be allowed to register.  Documented proof of citizenship includes:
      (a) A driver's license number or government-issued identification if citizenship is indicated;
      (b) A photocopy of a birth certificate;
      (c) A passport; or
      (d) Naturalization documents or a certificate of naturalization.
      (3) The department shall establish a procedure that substantially meets the requirements of subsection (1) of this section when permitting an applicant to renew a license or identicard by mail or by electronic commerce."
