POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Representative DeBolt: “Ladies and Gentleman of the House, it is kind of neat to be up here. I’ve had two firsts; I also got to go to caucus. I just wanted to let you know, you know as you sit here in life and you think about things, as a lot of you know I haven’t been feeling very well lately. I was in the hospital and I kind of looked at my life and I thought about my son’s sixteenth birthday, which is tomorrow. Happy Birthday Austin. I thought about where I fit in the world and one of the things I do know is that two years ago I had some severe health challenges and now I am going to face some new challenges and I know I’m going to be fine but it is time for me to step aside as the leader of the House Republican Caucus. I just really want you guys to know how much it has meant to me to serve in that area and in that part of my life. This has been a wonderful experience for me. We are going to see how the summer goes and then we will go from there. Each and every one of you holds a special place in the State of Washington. You represent a district and you represent a philosophy and an ideal that you have to hold on to because you represent those people that elected you and sent you here. Each and every one of you has a special gift and a talent and have been lucky enough to be elected to this body and I don’t want you to look past that. I’m not leaving, I’m just changing roles for a while, stepping away, going to focus on my family and my health and my other worlds. There is a lot of stresses that come in this building, you guys know them probably better than anybody. The reason I choose to go now is because as I’ve been home, every time someone makes a decision I get ten texts telling me they made this decision. It is important that we know who is responsible. Joel is going to be stepping in and helping me out. Thank you. Our caucus is in good shape and very strong and I just want you guys to know how much I really appreciate everything and Mr. Speaker, you have been very concerned and very helpful to me as I went through this and you have been a great leader for us and I appreciate you and your compassion. Thank you guys very much as I move forward in a new chapter in my life and I appreciate it Thanks.”
Mr. Speaker: “I am at a loss for words Richard. You and I have been through a lot together, a lot of floor battles, in fact I always was very worried whenever Richard would stand and speak on the floor because I was very jealous frankly, because you can get up and give a great speech and I’m always nervous. In fact, I’m so pleased I haven’t given a floor speech in about ten years but I just really have great admiration for you. We have been through a lot, maybe we should write a book together because there are lots of stories we could tell about how great this institution is and how great all the legislators are, but in particular, how great you have been to work with. It is more than just a working relationship, you’ve been a great friend. Anything we can do, just let us know, I appreciate all the years of service you’ve given to the State of Washington, to your district, and to all of us. I wish you all the best. Everybody up.” (The members of the House rose in honor of Representative DeBolt.)
The Speaker called upon Representative Orwall to preside.

SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5705, by Senate Committee on Governmental Operations (originally sponsored by Senators Brown, King and Hatfield)
Concerning amounts received by taxing districts from property tax refunds and abatements.
The bill was read the second time.
Representative Carlyle moved the adoption of amendment (454).
On page 2, after line 3, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The legislature finds that it is difficult for many property owners to pay property taxes under the current system where past due property tax payments must be paid in full, including penalties and interest. The legislature further finds that providing counties and property owners some flexibility in structuring past due property tax payments may provide some relief for property owners with delinquent tax payments.
Sec. 3. RCW 84.56.020 and 2010 c 200 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The county treasurer must be the receiver and collector of all taxes extended upon the tax rolls of the county, whether levied for state, county, school, bridge, road, municipal or other purposes, and also of all fines, forfeitures or penalties received by any person or officer for the use of his or her county. No treasurer may accept tax payments or issue receipts for the same until the treasurer has completed the tax roll for the current year's collection and provided notification of the completion of the roll. Notification may be accomplished electronically, by posting a notice in the office, or through other written communication as determined by the treasurer. All taxes upon real and personal property made payable by the provisions of this title are due and payable to the treasurer on or before the thirtieth day of April and, except as provided in this section, shall be delinquent after that date.
(2) Each tax statement must include a notice that checks for payment of taxes may be made payable to "Treasurer of . . . . . . County" or other appropriate office, but tax statements may not include any suggestion that checks may be made payable to the name of the individual holding the office of treasurer nor any other individual.
(3) When the total amount of tax or special assessments on personal property or on any lot, block or tract of real property payable by one person is fifty dollars or more, and if one-half of such tax be paid on or before the thirtieth day of April, the remainder of such tax is due and payable on or before the thirty-first day of October following and shall be delinquent after that date.
(4) When the total amount of tax or special assessments on any lot, block or tract of real property or on any mobile home payable by one person is fifty dollars or more, and if one-half of such tax be paid after the thirtieth day of April but before the thirty-first day of October, together with the applicable interest and penalty on the full amount of tax payable for that year, the remainder of such tax is due and payable on or before the thirty-first day of October following and is delinquent after that date.
(5) Except as provided in (c) of this subsection, delinquent taxes under this section are subject to interest at the rate of twelve percent per annum computed on a monthly basis on the full year amount of tax unpaid from the date of delinquency until paid. Interest must be calculated at the rate in effect at the time of payment of the tax, regardless of when the taxes were first delinquent. In addition, delinquent taxes under this section are subject to penalties as follows:
(a) A penalty of three percent of the full year amount of tax unpaid is assessed on the tax delinquent on June 1st of the year in which the tax is due.
(b) An additional penalty of eight percent is assessed on the amount of tax delinquent on December 1st of the year in which the tax is due.
(c) If a taxpayer is successfully participating in a payment agreement under subsection (11)(b) of this section, the county treasurer may not assess additional penalties on delinquent taxes that are included within the payment agreement. Interest and penalties that have been assessed prior to the payment agreement remain due and payable as provided in the payment agreement.
(6)(a) When real
property taxes become delinquent and prior to the filing of the certificate of
delinquency, the treasurer is authorized to assess and collect tax foreclosure
avoidance costs.
(b) For the purposes of this section, "tax foreclosure avoidance
costs" means those costs that can be identified specifically with the
administration of properties subject to and prior to foreclosure. Tax
foreclosure avoidance costs include:
(i) Compensation of employees for the time devoted and identified
specifically to administering the avoidance of property foreclosure; and
(ii) The cost of materials, services, or equipment acquired, consumed, or
expended specifically for the purpose of administering tax foreclosure
avoidance prior to the filing of a certificate of delinquency.
(c) When tax foreclosure avoidance costs are collected, the tax
foreclosure avoidance costs must be credited to the county treasurer service
fund account, except as otherwise directed.
(d) For purposes of chapter 84.64 RCW, any taxes, interest, or penalties
deemed delinquent under this section remain delinquent until such time as all
taxes, interest, and penalties for the tax year in which the taxes were first
due and payable have been paid in full.
(7) Subsection (5) of this section notwithstanding, no interest or
penalties may be assessed during any period of armed conflict on delinquent
taxes imposed on the personal residences owned by active duty military
personnel who are participating as part of one of the branches of the military
involved in the conflict and assigned to a duty station outside the territorial
boundaries of the United States.
(((7))) (8)
During a state of emergency declared under RCW 43.06.010(12), the county
treasurer, on his or her own motion or at the request of any taxpayer affected
by the emergency, may grant extensions of the due date of any taxes payable
under this section as the treasurer deems proper.
(((8))) (9)
For purposes of this chapter, "interest" means both interest and
penalties.
(((9))) (10)
All collections of interest on delinquent taxes must be credited to the county
current expense fund; but the cost of foreclosure and sale of real property,
and the fees and costs of distraint and sale of personal property, for
delinquent taxes, must, when collected, be credited to the operation and
maintenance fund of the county treasurer prosecuting the foreclosure or distraint
or sale; and must be used by the county treasurer as a revolving fund to defray
the cost of further foreclosure, distraint and sale for delinquent taxes
without regard to budget limitations.
(((10))) (11)(a)
For purposes of this chapter, and in accordance with this section and RCW
36.29.190, the treasurer may collect taxes, assessments, fees, rates, interest,
and charges by electronic bill presentment and payment. Electronic bill
presentment and payment may be utilized as an option by the taxpayer, but the
treasurer may not require the use of electronic bill presentment and payment.
Electronic bill presentment and payment may be on a monthly or other periodic
basis as the treasurer deems proper for ((prepayments)) delinquent
tax year payments only or for prepayments of current tax. All prepayments
must be paid in full by the due date specified in (c) of this subsection. Payments
on past due taxes must include collection of the oldest delinquent year, which
includes interest and taxes within a twelve-month period, prior to filing a
certificate of delinquency under chapter 84.64 RCW or distraint pursuant to RCW
84.56.070.
(b) The treasurer must provide, by electronic means or otherwise, a payment agreement that ((may include prepayment collection charges. The payment agreement must be signed by the taxpayer and treasurer prior to the sending of an electronic bill)) provides for payment of current year taxes, inclusive of prepayment collection charges. The treasurer may provide, by electronic means or otherwise, a payment agreement for payment of past due delinquencies, which must also require current year taxes to be paid timely. The payment agreement must be signed by the taxpayer and treasurer prior to the sending of an electronic or alternative bill, which includes a payment plan for current year taxes.
(c) All taxes upon real and personal property made payable by the provisions of this title are due and payable to the treasurer on or before the thirtieth day of April and are delinquent after that date. The remainder of the tax is due and payable on or before the thirty- first day of October following and is delinquent after that date. All other assessments, fees, rates, and charges are delinquent after the due date.
(d) A county treasurer
may authorize payment of past due property taxes, penalties, and interest under
this chapter by electronic funds transfer payments on a monthly basis. Monthly
payments must first be applied to penalties and interest. Delinquent taxes are
subject to interest and penalties, as provided in subsection (5) of this
section.
(e) The treasurer must pay any collection costs, investment earnings, or
both on past due payments or prepayments to the credit of a county treasurer
service fund account to be created and used only for the payment of expenses
incurred by the treasurer, without limitation, in administering the system for
collecting prepayments.
(((11))) (12)
For purposes of this section unless the context clearly requires otherwise,
the following definitions apply:
(a) "Electronic bill presentment and payment" means statements, invoices, or bills that are created, delivered, and paid using the internet. The term includes an automatic electronic payment from a person's checking account, debit account, or credit card.
(b) "Internet" has the same meaning as provided in RCW 19.270.010.
Sec. 4. RCW 84.56.070 and 2009 c 350 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The county treasurer ((shall)) must
proceed to collect all personal property taxes after first completing the tax
roll for the current year's collection.
(2) The treasurer ((shall)) must give notice
by mail to all persons charged with personal property taxes, and if such taxes
are not paid before they become delinquent, the treasurer ((shall forthwith
proceed to collect the same)) must commence delinquent collection
efforts. A delinquent collection charge for costs incurred by the treasurer
must be added to the account.
(3) In the event that ((he or she)) the
treasurer is unable to collect the ((same)) taxes when due under
this section, the treasurer ((shall)) must prepare papers in
distraint, which ((shall)) must contain a description of the
personal property, the amount of taxes, the amount of the accrued interest at
the rate provided by law from the date of delinquency, and the name of the
owner or reputed owner.
(a) The treasurer ((shall)) must without
demand or notice distrain sufficient goods and chattels belonging to the person
charged with such taxes to pay the same, with interest at the rate provided by
law from the date of delinquency, together with all accruing costs, and ((shall))
must proceed to advertise the same by posting written notices in three
public places in the county in which such property has been distrained, one of
which places ((shall)) must be at the county courthouse, such
notice to state the time when and place where such property will be sold.
(b) The county treasurer, or the treasurer's deputy, ((shall))
must tax the same fees for making the distraint and sale of goods and
chattels for the payment of taxes as are allowed by law to sheriffs for making
levy and sale of property on execution; traveling fees to be computed from the
county seat of the county to the place of making distraint.
(c) If the taxes for which such property is distrained,
and the interest and costs accruing thereon, are not paid before the date
appointed for such sale, which ((shall be)) may not be
less than ten days after the taking of such property, such treasurer or
treasurer's designee ((shall)) must proceed to sell such property
at public auction, or so much thereof as ((shall be)) is
sufficient to pay such taxes, with interest and costs, and if there be any
excess of money arising from the sale of any personal property, the treasurer
((shall)) must pay such excess less any cost of the auction to
the owner of the property so sold or to his or her legal representative((:
PROVIDED, That whenever it shall become)).
(d) If necessary to distrain any standing timber owned separately
from the ownership of the land upon which the same may stand, or any fish trap,
pound net, reef net, set net, or drag seine fishing location, or any
other personal property as the treasurer ((shall)) determines to
be incapable or reasonably impracticable of manual delivery, it ((shall be))
is deemed to have been distrained and taken into possession when the
treasurer ((shall have)) has, at least thirty days before the
date fixed for the sale thereof, filed with the auditor of the county wherein
such property is located a notice in writing reciting that the treasurer has
distrained such property, describing it, giving the name of the owner or
reputed owner, the amount of the tax due, with interest, and the time and place
of sale((;)). A copy of the notice ((shall)) must
also be sent to the owner or reputed owner at his or her last known
address, by registered letter at least thirty days prior to the date of sale((:
AND PROVIDED FURTHER, That)).
(e) If the county treasurer has reasonable grounds to believe that
any personal property, including mobile homes, manufactured homes, or park
model trailers, upon which taxes have been levied, but not paid, is about to be
removed from the county where the same has been assessed, or is about to be
destroyed, sold, or disposed of, the county treasurer may demand such
taxes, without the notice provided for in this section, and if necessary may ((forthwith))
distrain sufficient goods and chattels to pay the same."
