0)                Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"Sec. 1.  RCW 82.08.0273 and 2011 c 7 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) Subject to the conditions and limitations in this section, an exemption from the tax levied by RCW 82.08.020 ((does not apply to)) in the form of a remittance from the department is provided for sales to nonresidents of this state of tangible personal property, digital goods, and digital codes((, when)).  The exemption only applies if:

      (a) The property is for use outside this state;

      (b) The purchaser is a bona fide resident of a province or territory of Canada or a state, territory, or possession of the United States, other than the state of Washington; and

      (i) Such state, possession, territory, or province does not impose, or have imposed on its behalf, a generally applicable retail sales tax, use tax, value added tax, gross receipts tax on retailing activities, or similar generally applicable tax, of three percent or more; or

      (ii) If imposing a tax described in (b)(i) of this subsection, provides an exemption for sales to Washington residents by reason of their residence; and

      (c) The purchaser agrees, when requested, to grant the department of revenue access to such records and other forms of verification at ((his or her)) the purchaser's place of residence to assure that such purchases are not first used substantially in the state of Washington.

      (2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this chapter, if parts or other tangible personal property are installed by the seller during the course of repairing, cleaning, altering, or improving motor vehicles, trailers, or campers and the seller makes a separate charge for the tangible personal property, the tax levied by RCW 82.08.020 does not apply to the separately stated charge to a nonresident purchaser for the tangible personal property but only if the separately stated charge does not exceed either the seller's current publicly stated retail price for the tangible personal property or, if no publicly stated retail price is available, the seller's cost for the tangible personal property.  However, the exemption provided by this section does not apply if tangible personal property is installed by the seller during the course of repairing, cleaning, altering, or improving motor vehicles, trailers, or campers and the seller makes a single nonitemized charge for providing the tangible personal property and service.  All of the ((requirements)) provisions in subsections (1) and (3) through (((6))) (7) of this section apply to this subsection.

      (3)(a) Any person claiming exemption from retail sales tax under the provisions of this section must ((display proof of his or her current nonresident status as provided in this section)) pay the state and local sales tax to the seller at the time of purchase and then request a remittance from the department in accordance with this subsection and subsection (4) of this section.  A request for remittance must include proof of the person's status as a nonresident at the time of the purchase for which a remittance is requested.  The request for a remittance must also include any additional information and documentation as required by the department, which may include a description of the item purchased for which a remittance is requested, the sales price of the item, the amount of state and local sales tax paid on the item, the date of the purchase, the name of the seller and the physical address where the sale took place, and copies of sales receipts showing the qualified purchases.

      (b) Acceptable proof of a nonresident person's status includes one piece of identification such as a valid driver's license from the jurisdiction in which the out-of-state residency is claimed or a valid identification card which has a photograph of the holder and is issued by the out-of-state jurisdiction.  Identification under this subsection (3)(b) must show the holder's residential address and have as one of its legal purposes the establishment of residency in that out-of-state jurisdiction.

      (((c) In lieu of furnishing proof of a person's nonresident status under (b) of this subsection (3), a person claiming exemption from retail sales tax under the provisions of this section may provide the seller with an exemption certificate in compliance with subsection (4)(b) of this section.))

      (4)(a) ((Nothing in this section requires the vendor to make tax exempt retail sales to nonresidents.  A vendor may choose to make sales to nonresidents, collect the sales tax, and remit the amount of sales tax collected to the state as otherwise provided by law.  If the vendor chooses to make a sale to a nonresident without collecting the sales tax, the vendor must examine the purchaser's proof of nonresidence, determine whether the proof is acceptable under subsection (3)(b) of this section, and maintain records for each nontaxable sale which shall show the type of proof accepted, including any identification numbers where appropriate, and the expiration date, if any.
      (b) In lieu of using the method provided in (a) of this subsection to document an exempt sale to a nonresident, a seller may accept from the purchaser a properly completed uniform exemption certificate approved by the streamlined sales and use tax agreement governing board or any other exemption certificate as may be authorized by the department and properly completed by the purchaser.  A nonresident purchaser who uses an exemption certificate authorized in this subsection (4)(b) must include the purchaser's driver's license number or other state-issued identification number and the state of issuance.
      (c) In lieu of using the methods provided in (a) and (b) of this subsection to document an exempt sale to a nonresident, a seller may capture the relevant data elements as allowed under the streamlined sales and use tax agreement.
      (5)(a) Any person making fraudulent statements, which includes the offer of fraudulent identification or fraudulently procured identification to a vendor, in order to purchase goods without paying retail sales tax is guilty of perjury under chapter 9A.72 RCW.
      (b) Any person making tax exempt purchases under this section by displaying proof of identification not his or her own, or counterfeit identification, with intent to violate the provisions of this section, is guilty of a misdemeanor and, in addition, is liable for the tax and subject to a penalty equal to the greater of one hundred dollars or the tax due on such purchases.
      (6)(a) Any vendor who makes sales without collecting the tax and who fails to maintain records of sales to nonresidents as provided in this section is personally liable for the amount of tax due.
      (b) Any vendor who makes sales without collecting the retail sales tax under this section and who has actual knowledge that the purchaser's proof of identification establishing out-of-state residency is fraudulent is guilty of a misdemeanor and, in addition, is liable for the tax and subject to a penalty equal to the greater of one thousand dollars or the tax due on such sales.  In addition, both the purchaser and the vendor are liable for any penalties and interest assessable under chapter 82.32 RCW.)) (i) Beginning January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014, a person may request a remittance from the department for state and local sales taxes paid by the person on qualified retail purchases made in Washington between August 1, 2013, and December 31, 2013.
      (ii) Beginning January 1, 2015, a person may request a remittance from the department during any calendar year for state and local sales taxes paid by the person on qualified retail purchases made in Washington during the immediately preceding calendar year only.  No application may be made with respect to purchases made before the immediately preceding calendar year.
      (b) The remittance request, including proof of nonresident status and any other documentation and information required by the department, must be provided in a form and manner as prescribed by the department.  Only one remittance request may be made by a person per calendar year.
      (c) The total amount of a remittance request must be at least twenty-five dollars.  The department must deny any request for a remittance that is less than twenty-five dollars.
      (d) The department will examine the applicant's proof of nonresident status and any other documentation and information as required in the application to determine whether the applicant is entitled to a remittance under this section.
      (5)(a) Any person making fraudulent statements to the department, which includes the offer of fraudulent or fraudulently procured identification or fraudulent sales receipts, in order to receive a remittance of retail sales tax is guilty of perjury under chapter 9A.72 RCW.
      (b) Any person requesting a remittance of sales tax from the department by providing proof of identification or sales receipts not the person's own, or counterfeit identification or sales receipts, with intent to violate the provisions of this section, is guilty of a misdemeanor and, in addition, is liable for the tax and subject to a penalty equal to the greater of one hundred dollars or the tax due on such purchases.
      (6) The exemption provided by this section is for both state and local sales taxes.  For purposes of this section, "local sales tax" means a sales tax imposed by a local government under the authority of chapter 82.14 RCW, RCW 81.104.170, or other provision of law, and which is imposed on the same taxable event as the state sales tax imposed in this chapter.
      (7) A nonresident who receives a refund of sales tax from the seller for any reason with respect to a purchase made in this state is not entitled to a remittance for the tax paid on the purchase.  A person who receives both a remittance under this section and a refund from the seller with respect to the same purchase must immediately repay the remittance to the department.  Interest as provided in chapter 82.32 RCW applies to amounts due under this section from the date that the department made the remittance until the amount due under this subsection is paid to the department.  A person who receives a remittance with respect to a purchase for which the person had, at the time the person submitted the application for a remittance, already received a refund of sales tax from the seller is also liable for the evasion penalty in RCW 82.32.090(7) and is ineligible to receive any further remittances from the department under this section.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  A new section is added to chapter 82.32 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) By the last workday of the second and fourth calendar quarters, the state treasurer must transfer the amount specified in subsection (2) of this section from the general fund to the education legacy trust account.  The first transfer under this subsection (1) must occur by December 31, 2013.

      (2) By December 15th and by June 15th of each year, the department must estimate the increase in state general fund revenues from the changes made under section 1 of this act for the current and prior calendar quarters and notify the state treasurer of the increase.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3.  A new section is added to chapter 43.135 RCW to read as follows:

      RCW 43.135.034(4) does not apply to the transfers under section 2 of this act.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 4.  A new section is added to chapter 39.42 RCW to read as follows:

      The purpose of narrowing the tax preference in section 1 of this act is to support education-related expenditures from the education legacy trust account.  For this reason, general state revenues transferred to the education legacy trust account under section 2 of this act are excluded from the calculation of general state revenues for purposes of Article VIII, section 1 of the state Constitution and RCW 39.42.130 and 39.42.140.

Sec. 5.  RCW 82.14.050 and 2012 1st sp.s. c 9 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

      (a) Distribution to counties, cities, transportation authorities, public facilities districts, public transportation benefit areas, regional transportation investment districts, and transportation benefit districts imposing a sales and use tax; and

      (b) Making refunds of taxes imposed under the authority of this chapter and RCW 81.104.170 and exempted under RCW 82.08.273, 82.08.962 ((and)), or 82.12.962.

      (2) All administrative provisions in chapters 82.03, 82.08, 82.12, and 82.32 RCW, as they now exist or may hereafter be amended, insofar as they are applicable to state sales and use taxes, are applicable to taxes imposed pursuant to this chapter.

      (2) The distribution formula under this section shall be for allocation purposes only.  Except as may be required under chapter 28A.155, 28A.165, 28A.180, or 28A.185 RCW, or federal laws and regulations, nothing in this section requires school districts to use basic education instructional funds to implement a particular instructional approach or service.  Nothing in this section requires school districts to maintain a particular classroom teacher-to-student ratio or other staff-to-student ratio or to use allocated funds to pay for particular types or classifications of staff.  Nothing in this section entitles an individual teacher to a particular teacher planning period.

      (3)(a) To the extent the technical details of the formula have been adopted by the legislature and except when specifically provided as a school district allocation, the distribution formula for the basic education instructional allocation shall be based on minimum staffing and nonstaff costs the legislature deems necessary to support instruction and operations in prototypical schools serving high, middle, and elementary school students as provided in this section.  The use of prototypical schools for the distribution formula does not constitute legislative intent that schools should be operated or structured in a similar fashion as the prototypes.  Prototypical schools illustrate the level of resources needed to operate a school of a particular size with particular types and grade levels of students using commonly understood terms and inputs, such as class size, hours of instruction, and various categories of school staff.  It is the intent that the funding allocations to school districts be adjusted from the school prototypes based on the actual number of annual average full-time equivalent students in each grade level at each school in the district and not based on the grade-level configuration of the school to the extent that data is available.  The allocations shall be further adjusted from the school prototypes with minimum allocations for small schools and to reflect other factors identified in the omnibus appropriations act.

      (b) For the purposes of this section, prototypical schools are defined as follows:

      (i) A prototypical high school has six hundred average annual full- time equivalent students in grades nine through twelve;

      (ii) A prototypical middle school has four hundred thirty-two average annual full-time equivalent students in grades seven and eight; and

      (iii) A prototypical elementary school has four hundred average annual full-time equivalent students in grades kindergarten through six.

      (4)(a) The minimum allocation for each level of prototypical school shall be based on the number of full-time equivalent classroom teachers needed to provide instruction over the minimum required annual instructional hours under RCW 28A.150.220 and provide at least one teacher planning period per school day, and based on the following general education average class size of full-time equivalent students per teacher:

 

      General education

      average

      class size

Grades K-3                 25.23

Grade 4 27.00

Grades 5-6                  27.00

Grades 7-8                  28.53

Grades 9-12                28.74

 

      (b) During the 2011-2013 biennium and beginning with schools with the highest percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price meals in the prior school year, the general education average class size for grades K-3 shall be reduced until the average class size funded under this subsection (4) is no more than 17.0 full-time equivalent students per teacher beginning in the 2017-18 school year.

      (c) The minimum allocation for each prototypical middle and high school shall also provide for full-time equivalent classroom teachers based on the following number of full-time equivalent students per teacher in career and technical education:

 

      Career and technical

      education average

      class size

Approved career and technical education offered at

the middle school and high school level      26.57

Skill center programs meeting the standards established

by the office of the superintendent of public

instruction                  22.76

 

      (d) In addition, the omnibus appropriations act shall at a minimum specify:

      (i) A high-poverty average class size in schools where more than fifty percent of the students are eligible for free and reduced-price meals; and

      (ii) A specialty average class size for laboratory science, advanced placement, and international baccalaureate courses.

(e) To support the increase in instructional hours required under RCW 28A.150.220(2)(a), beginning with the 2014-15 school year, the minimum allocation for each prototypical middle school and high school must provide resources to provide an additional 0.5556 hours of instruction per week per annual average full-time equivalent student enrolled in grades seven through twelve, based on the general education average class sizes specified in (a) of this subsection, which shall be increased in equal annual increments until an additional 2.2222 hours of instruction is provided in the 2017-18 school year and thereafter.

      (5) The minimum allocation for each level of prototypical school shall include allocations for the following types of staff in addition to classroom teachers:

      (a) To provide supplemental instruction and services for underachieving students through the learning assistance program under RCW 28A.165.005 through 28A.165.065, allocations shall be based on the district percentage of students in grades K-12 who were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in the prior school year.  The minimum allocation for the program shall provide for each level of prototypical school resources to provide, on a statewide average, 1.5156 hours per week in extra instruction with a class size of fifteen learning assistance program students per teacher.

      (b) To provide supplemental instruction and services for students whose primary language is other than English, allocations shall be based on the following:
      (i) The head count number of students in each school who are eligible for and enrolled in the transitional bilingual instruction program under RCW 28A.180.010 through 28A.180.080.  The minimum allocation for each level of prototypical school shall provide resources to provide, on a statewide average, 4.7780 hours per week in extra instruction with fifteen transitional bilingual instruction program students per teacher.  ((Notwithstanding other provisions of this subsection (10), the actual per-student allocation may be scaled to provide a larger allocation for students needing more intensive intervention and a commensurate reduced allocation for students needing less intensive intervention, as detailed in the omnibus appropriations act.))

(ii) The head count number of students in each school who have exited the transitional bilingual instruction program within the previous two years based on their performance on the English proficiency assessment approved by the superintendent of public instruction under RCW 28A.180.090.  Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, the minimum allocation under this subsection (10)(b)(ii) for each level of prototypical school must provide resources to provide, on a statewide average, 1.0 hours per week in extra instruction with fifteen exited transitional bilingual instruction program students per teacher, based on students who exited within the previous school year.  Beginning with the 2014-15 school year, the minimum allocation must be based on students who exited within the previous two school years.
      (iii) School districts may not receive allocations under both (b)(i) and (ii) of this subsection for the same student in a single school year.

      (c) To provide additional allocations to support programs for highly capable students under RCW 28A.185.010 through 28A.185.030, allocations shall be based on two and three hundred fourteen one- thousandths percent of each school district's full-time equivalent basic education enrollment.  The minimum allocation for the programs shall provide resources to provide, on a statewide average, 2.1590 hours per week in extra instruction with fifteen highly capable program students per teacher.

      (11) The allocations under subsections (4)(a) ((and)), (b), and (e), (5), (6), and (8) of this section shall be enhanced as provided under RCW 28A.150.390 on an excess cost basis to provide supplemental instructional resources for students with disabilities.

      (12)(a) For the purposes of allocations for prototypical high schools and middle schools under subsections (4) and (10) of this section that are based on the percent of students in the school who are eligible for free and reduced-price meals, the actual percent of such students in a school shall be adjusted by a factor identified in the omnibus appropriations act to reflect underreporting of free and reduced-price meal eligibility among middle and high school students.

      (b) Allocations or enhancements provided under subsections (4), (7), and (9) of this section for exploratory and preparatory career and technical education courses shall be provided only for courses approved by the office of the superintendent of public instruction under chapter 28A.700 RCW.
