By any taxing district otherwise
authorized by law to issue general obligation bonds for capital purposes, for the
sole purpose of making the required payments of principal and interest on general
obligation bonds issued solely for capital

majority of at least three-fifths of the
electors thereof voting on the proposition
to
issue such bonds and to pay the
principal and interest thereon by
an
annual tax levy in excess of the limitation herein provided during the term of
such bonds,
submitted not oftener than
twice in any calendar year, at an election
held in the manner provided by law for
bond elections in such taxing district, at
which election the total number of persons
voting on the proposition shall constitute
not less than forty per centum of the
total number of votes cast in such taxing
district at the last preceding general
election:
PROVIDED, That any such taxing
district shall have the right by vote of
its governing body to refund any general
obligation bonds of said district issued
for capital purposes only, and to provide
for the interest thereon and amortization
thereof by annual levies in excess of the
tax limitation provided for herein, AND

judge or judges shall during the month of
July each year, order a master jury list
to be selected by an unrestricted random
sample from the names of all registered
voters filed with ~he county auditor.
Such
list must contain as nearly as
possible an equal number of jurors from
each jury district.
The master jury list randomly selected
shall contain names of a sufficient number
of qualified voters to serve as
jurors
until the first day of August of the next
calendar year, and shall be certified and
filed with the county clerk. At any time
the judge or judges may add to the jury

to a legal proceeding, is unable by reason
of such defects to obtain due process of
law;
(2) a "qualified interpreter" is one
who is able readily to translate spoken
English to and for impaired persons and to
translate statements of impaired persons
into spoken English; (3) "legal proceeding" is a proceeding in any court in this

body initiating the proceedings.
(2)
In other legal proceedings the cost
of providing the interpreter shall be
borne by the impaired person unless the
impaired person is indigent, pursuant to
adopted standards of the body, and thus
unable to pay for the interpreter, in
which case the cost shall be borne as an
administrative cost of the governmental
body under the authority of which the
proceeding is conducted.

maintain an action as plaintiff for the
injury or death of a minor child, or a
child on whom either, or both, are dependent for support:
PROVIDED, That in the
case of an illegitimate child the father
cannot maintain or join as a party an
action unless paternity has been duly
established and the father has regularly
contributed to the child's support.
This section creates only one cause of
action, but if the parents of the child
are not married, are separated, or not
married to each other damages may be
awarded to each plaintiff separately, as
the court finds just and equitable.
If one parent brings an action under
this section and the other parent is not
named as a plaintiff, notice of
the
institution of the suit, together with a
copy of the complaint, shall be served
upon the other parent:
PROVIDED, That
when the mother of an illegitimate child
initiates
an action, notice shall be
required only if paternity has been duly
established and the father has regularly
contributed to the child'£ support.

It
is hereby declared to be the policy of the
legislature, recognizing the close relationship between professional gambling and
organized crime, to restrain all persons
from
seeking profit from professional
gambling activities in this state; to
restrain all persons from patronizing such
professional gambling activities; to safeguard the public against the evils induced
by common gamblers and common gambling
houses engaged in professional gambling;
and at the same time, both to preserve the
freedom of the press and to avoid restricting participation by individuals in
activities
and social pastimes,
which
activities and social pastimes are more
for amusement rather than for profit, do
not maliciously affect the public, and do
not breach the peace.
The legislature further declares that
the raising of funds for the promotion of
bona fide charitable or nonprofit organizations is in the public interest as is
participation in such ac~ivities and social pastimes as are hereinafter in this
chapter authorized.
The legislature further declares that
the conducting of bingo, raffles, and
amusement games and the operation of punch
boards, pull-tabs, and other social pastimes,
when conducted pursuant to the
provisions of this chapter and any rules
and regulations adopted pursuant thereto,
are hereby authorized, as are only such
lotteries for which no valuable consideration has been paid or agreed to be paid
as hereinafter in this chapter provided.
All factors incident to the activities
authorized
in
this chapter shall be
closely controlled, and the provisions of
this chapter shall be liberally construed
to achieve such end. (1973 1st ex.s. c

with, and then only on such terms as are
set forth in this section.
(1) A base commitment rate for each
county and for the state as a whole shall
be calculated by the department. The base
commitment rate shall be determined by
computing the ratio of the number of
persons convicted of felonies and committed to state correctional institutions for
convicted felons to the number of persons
convicted of felonies, such ratio to be
expressed as a rate per hundred persons
convicted of felonies for each of the
calendar years 1966 through 1970:
PROVIDED, That deferred prosecution,
deferred
and suspended sentences pursuant to chapters 9.95 RCW and 9.92 RCW, as well as
other convictions of felonies shall, for
purpose of these computations only, be
counted as "convictions of felonies".
The
average of these rates for a county for
the five year period, or the average of
the last two years of the period, whichever is higher, shall be the base commitment
rate, as certified by the
secretary:
PROVIDED, FURTHER, That a county may elect
as its base commitment rate the average of
the base commitment rates of all counties
in the state over the last two years of
the period described in this subsection.
(2)
An annual commitment rate shall be
calculated by the department at the end of
each year for each participating county
and for the state as a whole, in a like
manner as provided in subsection
(1)
of
this section. In addition, the department
shall at the same time determine the
number of persons placed in special adult
supervision programs in each participating
county.
(3)
The "commitment reduction number"
is the amount obtained by subtracting (a)
the product of the most recent annual
commitment rate and the number of persons
convicted of felonies in the county for
the same year,
from {b)
the product of
the base commitment rate and the number of
persons
convicted of felonies in the
county for the same year employed in (a) .
(4)
Except as provided in this chapter,
the amount that may be paid to a county
pursuant to this chapter shall not exceed
the actual cost of the operation of a
special adult supervision program.
Reimbursement shall be computed by multiplying
the commitment reduction number by actual
program cost or four thousand eight hundred dollars,
whichever is less; and by
adding thereto the product obtained by
multiplying
(a)
the number of persons
charged with or convicted of felonies in
excess of the commitment reduction number
who have been placed in a special adult
supervision program, if any, by (b)
actual program cost or three thousand dollars,
whichever is l~ss:
PROVIDED, That reimbursement shall not be authorized when a
county exceeds its base commitment rate.
Notwithstanding the
limitations
set
forth in this subsection, there shall be
paid to the county on account of each
person placed in a deferred prosecution

special adult supervision program,
one
hundred fifteen percent of the amount paid
on account of each person placed in a
special adult supervision program, but not
in a deferred prosecution program.
(5)
The secre~ary shall reimburse a
county upon presentation and approval of a
valid claim pursuant to the provisions of
this chapter based on actual performance
in reducing the annual commitment rate
from its base commitment rate, and placing
appropriate persons in special adult supervision programs.
Whenever a claim made
by a county pursuant to this chapter,
covering a prior year, is found to be in
error, an adjustment may be made on a
current claim without the necessity of
applying the adjustment to the allocation
for the prior year.
(6)
In the event a participating county
earns in a payment period less than onehalf of the sum paid in the previous
payment period because of extremely unusual circumstances claimed by the county and
verified by the secretary, the secretary
may pay to the county a sum not to exceed
actual program expenditures:
PROVIDED,
That in subsequent periods the county will
be paid only the amount earned.
(7)
If the amount received by a county
in reimbursement of its expenditures in a
calendar year is less than the maximum
amount computed under subsection
(4)
of
this section, the difference may be paid
to the county as reimbursement of program
costs during the next two succeeding years
upon receipt of valid claims for reimbursement of program expenses.
(8)
Funds received by
participating
counties pursuant to this chapter shall
not be used to replace local funds for
existing programs for adults on probation
based on either felony or misdemeanor
offenses.
Such funds may also not be used
to develop or build county institutional
programs or facilities, except such as
qualify pursuant to RCW 9.95A.040.
(9)
Any
county averaging less than
twenty felony commitments annually during
either the two year or five year period
used to determine the base commitment rate
as defined in subsection (11
of this
section may:
(a)
Apply for subsidies under subsections (1) through (7) of this section; or
(b)
As an alternative, elect to receive
from the state the salary of one full-time
probation officer and related employee
benefits; or
(c)
Elect to receive from the state the
salary and related employee benefits of
one full-time additional probation officer, and in addition, reimbursement for
certain supporting services other than
capital outlay and equipment, the total
cost of which will not exceed a maximum
limit established by the secretary; or
(d)
Elect to receive from the state
reimbursement for certain supporting services other than capital outlay and equipment, the total cost of which will not
[ 44
exceed a maximum limit established by the
secretary.
(10}
In the event a county chooses one
of the alternative proposals set forth in
subparagraphs (b), (c) or (d)
of subsection
(9)
of this section, it will be
eligible for re~mbursement only so long as
the officer and supporting services are
wholly used in the performance of services
to provide supervision of persons eligible
for state commitment and in special adult
supervision programs, and are paid in
accordance with a salary schedule adopted
by rule of the department, and:
(a)
If its base commitment rate is
below the state average, its annual commitment rate does not exceed the base
commitment rate for the entire state; or
(b}
If its base commitment rate is
above the state average, its annual commitment rate does not in the year exceed
by four its own base commitment rate.
(11)
Where any county does not have a
probation officer, but obtains such services by agreement with another county or
counties, or,
where two or more counties
by agreement mutually provide
special
adult supervision program services for
such counties,
then under such circumstances the secretary may make the computations and payments under this chapter as
though
the counties served with such
services were one geographical unit.
(12)
Notwithstanding
the limitations
imposed by this section, the secretary may
make additional reimbursement of not to
exceed ten percent of earnings pursuant to
RCW 9.95A.C10 through 9.95A.060 to counties operating and providing special adult
supervision
program services mutually,
jointly, or in combination, in accordance
with rules and standards adop~ed by the

If at--an.r-~e
during-the pendency of an action and prior
to judgment, the court finds following a
report as provided in RCW 1C.77.060, that
the defendant is incapable of understanding the proceedings against him or assisting in his own defense,
the court shall
order
the proceedings against him be
[
stayed, except as provided
in subsection
(5)
of this section, and may commit the
defendant to the custody of the secretary,
who shall place such defendant in an
appropriate facility of the department for
evaluation and treatment, or the court may
alternatively order the defendant to undergo evaluation and treatment at some
other facility, or under the guidance and
control of some other person, until he has
regained the competency necessary to understand the proceedings against him and
assist in his own defense,
but in any
event,
for no longer than a period of
ninety days.
If during the ninety day
period,
the court on its own motion, or
upon application of the secretary, the
prosecuting attorney,
or the defendant,
finds by a preponderance of the evidence,
after a hearing, that the defendant is now
able to unders~and the proceedings against
him and assist in his own defense, the
proceedings shall be resumed.
{2)
If at the end of the ninety day
period the court finds that the defendant
is not able to understand the proceedings
against him and assist in his own defense,
the court shall have the option of extending the order of commitment or alternative
treatment for
an additional ninety day
period, but it must at the time
of
extension set a date for a prompt hearing
to determine the defendant's competency if
the defendant has not been judged competent to proceed before the expiration of
the second ninety day period. The defendant, his attorney, the prosecutor, or the
judge shall have the right to demand that
the competency hearing at the end of the
ninety day extension period be before a
jury.
If no demand is made,
the hearing
shall be before the court.
The sole issue
to be determined at such a hearing is
whether the defendant has the competency
to understand the proceedings against hi~
and to assist in his own defense.

If the jury or court, as the case
may be, finds by a preponderance of the
evidence that the defendant is unable to
understand the proceedings against him and

No county
shall be entitled to receive any state
funds provided by this chapter until its
application is approved,
and unless and
until the minimum standards prescribed by
the department of social and health services are complied with and then only on
such terms as are set forth hereafter in
this section.
{1)
A base commitment rate for each
county and for the state as a whole shall
be calculated by the department of social
and health services. The base commitment
rate shall be determined by computing the
ratio of the number of juveniles committed
to state juvenile correctional institutions plus the number of juveniles who
have been convicted of felonies and committed to state correctional institutions
after a juvenile court has declined jurisdiction of their cases and remanded them
for prosecution in the superior courts, to
the county population, such ratio to be
expressed in a rate per hundred thousand
population, for each of the calendar years
1964 through 1968.
The average of these
rates for a county for the five year
period or the average of the last two
years of the period, whichever is higher,
shall be the base commitment rate, as
certified by the secretary:
PROVIDED,
That, a county may elect as its base
commitment rate the average of the base
commitment rates of all counties in the
state over the last two years of the
period described above. The county and
state population shall be that certified
as of April 1st of each year by the office
of program planning and fiscal management,
such population figures to be provided to
the secretary of social and health services not later than June 30th of each
year.
(2)
An annual commitment rate shall be
calculated by the department at the end of
each year for each participating county
and for the state as a whole, in a like
manner as provided in subsection (1).
[ 58 ]
PROBATION COUNSELORS--STATE AID
13.06.055
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(3) The amount that may be paid to a
county pursuant to this chapter shall be
the actual cost of the operation of a
special supervision program or four thousand dollars multiplied by the "commitment
reduction
number",
whichever
is the
lesser. The "commitment reduction number"
is obtained by subtracting (a)
the product of the most recent annual commitment
rate and population of the county for the
same year from (b) the product of the base
commitment rate and population of the
county for the same year employed in (a).
(4) The secretary of social and health
services will reimburse a county upon
presentation and approval of a valid claim
pursuant to the provisions of this chapter
based on actual performance in reducing
the annual commitment rate from its base
commitment rate. Whenever a claim made by
a county pursuant to this chapter, covering a prior year, is found to be in error,
an adjustment may be made on a current
claim without the necessity of applying
the adjustment to the allocation for the
prior year.
(5)
In the event a participating county
earns in a payment period less than onehalf of the sum paid in the previous
payment period because of extremely unusual circumstances claimed by the county and
verified by the secretary of the department of social and health services, the
secretary may pay to the county a sum not
to exceed actual program expenditures,
provided,
however, that in subsequent
periods the county will be paid only the
amount earned: PROVIDED, That *the amendatory provisions of subsection {5) of
this act may be applied to payment periods
prior to May 20, 1971.
(6)
If the amount received by a county
in reimbursement of its expenditures in a
calendar year is less than the maximum
amount computed under
subsection
(3)
above, the difference may be paid to the
county as reimbursement of program costs
during the next two succeeding years upon
receipt of valid claims for reimbursement
of program expenses.
(7) Funds received by
participating
counties under this chapter shall not be
used to replace local funds for existing
programs for delinquent juveniles or to
develop county institutional programs.
(8)
Any
county averaging less than
thirty commitments annually during either
the two year or five year period used to
determine the base commitment rate as
defined in subsection (1) above may:
(a) apply for subsidies under subsection (1); or
(b)
as an alternative, elect to receive
from the state the salary of one full-time
additional probation officer and related
employee benefits.
(c) elect to receive from the sta~e the
salary and related employee benefits of
1973 RCW SUPP.
one full-time additional probation officer
and in addition, reimbursement for certain
supporting services other than capital
outlay and equipment whose total will not
exceed a maximum limit established by the
secretary of the department of social and
health services; or
(d)
elect to receive from the state
reimbursement for certain supporting services other than capital outlay and equipment whose total cost will not exceed a
maximum limit established by the secretary
of the department of social and health
services.
(9}
In the event a county chooses one
of the alternative proposals in subsection
{8) , it will. be eligible for reimbursement
only so long as the officer and supporting
services are wholly used in the performance of probation services to supervision
of persons eligible for state commitment
and are paid the salary referred to in
this section in accordance with a salary
schedule adopted by rule of the department
and:
(a)
if its base commitment rate is
below the state average, its annual commitment rate does not exceed the bas~
commitment rate for the entire state; or
(b)
if its base commitment rate is
above the state average, its annual commitment rate does not in the year exceed
by two its own base commitment rate.
(10)
Where any county does not have a
juvenile probation officer, but obtains
such services by agreement with another
county or counties, or, where two or more
counties mutually provide probation services by agreement for such counties, then
under such circumstances the secretary may
make the computations and payments under
this chapter as though the counties served
with probation services were one geographical unit.

AND FRANCHISEE--RIGHTS AND PROHIBITIONS.
without-limiting-the-other--provisions--a£
this
chapter,
the following specific
rights and prohibitions shall govern the
relation between the franchisor or subfranchisor and the franchisees:
(1)
The parties shall deal with each
other in good faith.
(2)
For the purposes of this chapter
and without limiting its general application, it shall be an unfair or deceptive
act or practice or an unfair method of
competition and therefore unlawful and a
violation of this chapter for any person
to:
(a)
Restrict or inhibit the right of
the franchisees to join an association of
franchisees.
(b)
Require a franchisee to purchase or
lease goods or services of the franchisor
or from approved sources of supply unless
and to the extent that the franchisor
satisfies the burden of proving that such
restrictive purchasing agreements are reasonably necessary for a lawful purpose
justified on business grounds, and do not
substantially affect competition:
PROVIDED, That this provision shall not apply to
the initial inventory of the franchise.
In determining whether a requirement to
purchase or lease goods or services constitutes an unfair or deceptive act or
practice or an unfair method of competition the courts shall be guided by the
decisions of the courts of the United
states interpreting and applying the antitrust laws of the United States.
(c)
Discriminate between franchisees in
the charges offered or made for royalties,
goods, services, equipment, rentals,
ad·
vertising services, or in any other business dealing, unless and to the extent
that the franchisor satisfies the burden
of proving that any classification of or
discrimination between franchisees is reasonable, is based on franchises granted at
materially different times and such discrimination is reasonably related to such
difference in time or on other proper and
justifiable distinctions considering the
purposes of this chapter, and is not
arbitrary.
(d)
Sell, rent,
or offer to sell to a
franchisee any product or service for more
than a fair and reasonable price.
(e)
Obtain money, goods, services, anything of value, or any other benefit from
any other person with whom the franchisee
does business on account of such business
unless such benefit is disclosed to the
franchisee.
(f)
If the franchise provides that the
franchisee has an exclusive territory,
which exclusive territory shall be specified in the franchise agreement, for the
1973 RCW SUPP.
[
fr4nchisor or subfranchisor to compete
with the franchisee in an exclusive territory or to grant competitive franchises in
the exclusive territory area previously
granted to another franchisee.
(g)
Require franchisee to assent to a
release, assignment, novation, or waiver
which would relieve any person from liability imposed by this chapter.
(h)
Impose on a franchisee by contract,
rule, or regulation,
whether written or
oral, any standard of conduct unless the
person so doing can sustain the burden of
proving
such
to
be
reasonable and
necessary.
(i)
Refuse to renew a franchise without
fairly compensating the franchisee for the
fair market value, at the time of expiration of the franchise, of the franchisee's
inventory, supplies, equipment, and furnishings purchased from the franchisor,
and good will, exclusive of personalized
materials which have no value to the
franchisor,
and
inventory,
supplies,
equipment and furnishings not reasonably
required in the conduct of the franchise
business:
PROVIDED, That
compensation
need not be made to a franchisee for good
will if (i) the franchisee has been given
one year's notice of nonrenewal and (ii)
the franchisor agrees in writing not to
enforce any covenant which restrains the
franchisee from competing with the franchisor:
PROVIDED FURTHER, That a franchisor may offset against amounts owed to
a franchisee under this subsection any
amounts owed by such franchisee to the
franchisor.
(j)
To terminate a franchise prior to
the expiration of its term except for good
cause.
Good cause shall include,
without
limitation, the failure of the franchisee
to comply with lawful material prov1s1ons
of the franchise or other agreement between the franchisor and the franchisee
and to cure such default after being given
written notice thereof and a reasonable
opportunity,
which in no event need be
more than thirty days, to cure
such
default, or if such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty days, the
failure of the franchisee to initiate
within thirty days substantial and continuing action to cure such default:
PROVIDED, That a franchisor may terminate a
franchise without giving prior notice or
opportunity to cure a default if the
franchisee
(i)
is adjudicated a bankrupt
or insolvent; (ii) makes an assignment for
the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of the assets of the franchise
business;
(iii)
voluntarily abandons the
franchise business; or (iv)
is convicted
of or pleads guilty or no contest to a
charge of violating any law relating to
the franchise business.
Upon termination
for good cause, the franchisor
shall
purchase from the franchisee at a fair
market value at the time of termination,
the franchisee's inventory and supplies,
exclusive of
(i)
personalized materials
which have no value to the franchisor;

(1)
The parties tc a marriage, in order to
promote the amicable settlement of disputes attendant upon their separation or
upon the filing of a petition for dissolution of their marriage, a decree of legal
separation, or declaration of invalidity
of their marriage, may enter into
a
written separation contract providing for
the maintenance of either of them, the
disposition of any property owned by both
or either of them, the custody, support,
and visitation of their children and for
the release of each other from all obligation
except
that
expressed
in the
contract.
(2)
If the parties to such contract
elect to live separate and apart without
any court decree, they may record such
contract and cause notice thereof to be
published in a legal newspaper of the
county wherein the parties resided prior
to their separation. · Recording such contract and publishing notice of the making
thereof shall constitute notice to all
persons of such separation and of the
facts contained in the recorded document.
(3)
If either or both of the parties to
a separation contract shall at the time of
the execution thereof, or at a subsequent
time, petition the court for dissolution
of their marriage, for a decree of legal
separation, or for a declaration of invalidity of their marriage, the contract,
except for those terms providing for the
custody, support, and visitation of children, shall be binding upon the court
unless it finds, after considering the
economic circumstances of the parties and
any other relevant evidence produced by
the parties on their own motion or on
request of the court, that the separation
contract was unfair at the time of its
execution.
(4)
If the court in an action for
dissolution of marriage, legal separation,
or declaration of invalidity finds that
the separation contract was unfair at the
time of its execution, it may make orders
for the maintenance of either party, the
disposition of their property and the
discharge of their obligations.
(5)
Unless the separation contract provides to the contrary, the agreement shall
be set forth in the decree of dissolution,
legal separation, or declaration of invalidity, or filed in the action or made an
exhibit and incorporated by reference,
except that in all cases the terms for
custody, support, and visitation shall be
set out in the decree, and the parties
shall be ordered to comply with its terms.
(6)
Terms of the contract set forth or
incorporated by reference in the decree
may be enforced by all remedies available
for the enforcement of a judgment, including
contempt, and are enforceable as
contract terms.
(7)
When the separation contract so
provides, the decree may expressly preclude or limit modification of any provision for maintenance set forth in the
decree.
Terms of a separation contract
pertaining to custody, support, and visitation of children and, in the absence of
express provision to the contrary, terms
providing for maintenance set forth or
incorporated by reference in the decree
are automatically modified by modification
of the decree.

information from medical, psychiatric, or
other expert persons who have served the

consent of the parent or the child's

Every board of
Q£
directors shall provide and pay for transportation of children to and from school
whether
such children live within or
without the district when in its judgment
the best interests of the district will be
subserved thereby, but the board is not
compelled to transport any pupil living
within two miles of the schoolhouse.
When children are transported from one
school district to another the board of
directors of the respective districts may
enter into a written contract providing
for
a division of the cost of such
transportation between the districts.
When commercial charter bus service is
not reasonably available to a
school
district, the state board of education may
authorize the use of school buses and
drivers hired by the district for the
transportation of school children and the
school employees necessary for their supervision to and from any school activities within or without the school district
during or after school hours and whether
or not a required school activity, so long
as the school board has officially designated it as a school activity. For any
extra-curricular uses, the school board
shall
charge an amount sufficient to
reimburse the district for its cost.
In addition to the right to contract for
the use of buses provided in RCW 28A.24� 170 and 28A.24.172, any school district
may contract to furnish the use of school
buses of that district to other users who
are engaged in conducting an educational
or recreational program supported wholly
or in part by tax funds or programs for
elderly persons at times when those buses
are not needed by that district and under
such terms as will fully reimburse such
school district for all costs related or
incident thereto:
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, That
no such use of school district buses shall
be permitted except where other public or
private transportation certificated
or
licensed by the washington utilities and
transportation commission is not reasonably available to the user:
PROVIDED
FURTHER, That no user shall be required to
accept any charter bus for services which
the user believes might place the health
or safety of the children or elderly
persons in jeopardy.
Whenever any school children or elderly
persons are transported by the school
district in its own motor vehicles and by
its own employees, the board may provide
insurance to protect the district against
loss, whether by reason of theft, fire or
property damage to the motor vehicle or by
reason of liability of the district to
persons from the operation of such motor
vehicle.
The board may provide insurance by contract purchase for payment of hospital and
medical expenses in an amount not exceeding one thousand dollars per person per
injury for the benefit of persons injured
while they are on, getting on, or getting
off any vehicles enumerated herein without
respect to any fault or liability on the
part of the school district or operator.
This insurance may be provided without
cost to the persons notwithstanding the
provisions of RCW 28A.58.420.
If the transportation of children or
elderly persons is arranged for by contract of the district with some person,
the board may require such contractor to
procure such insurance as the board deems
advisable. (1973 c 45 § 1; 1971 c 24 § 3;

The legislature finds
that many elderly persons suffer dietary
deficiencies and malnutrition due to inadequate financial resources, immobility,
lack of interest due to isolation and
loneliness, and characteristics of the
aging
process, such as physiological,
social, and psychological changes which
result in a way of life too often leading
to feelings of rejection, abandonment, and
despair. There is a real need as a matter
of public policy to provide the elderly
citizens with adequate nutritionally sound
meals, through which their isolation may
be penetrated with the company and the
social contacts of their own. It is the
declared purpose of RCW 28A.58.136, 28A.58.720 and 28A.58.722 to raise the level
of dignity of the aged population where
their remaining years can be lived in a
fulfillment equal to the benefits they
have bestowed, the richness they have
added, and the great part they have played
in the life of our society and nation.

Qf AUT~ITY~ The
purpose of the authority shall be to
assist needy and disadvantaged persons to
pursue a post-secondary education by purchasing loans made by banking and educational institutions to such persons to
help them meet the rising costs of such
education, thereby encouraging those in�
stitutions to make such loans, and increasing the supply of moneys available
therefor. The legislature hereby finds and
determines that it is in the
public
inter~st
and essential to the welfare and
well-being of the inhabitants of the state
and to the proper growth and development
of the state to encourage and assist every
student who has the desire and capacity to
pursue a post-secondary education. It is
hereby further found and determined that
the rising costs to students of postsecondary education are placing the goal
of such study beyond the financial reach
of a growing proportion of our po~ential
student population, particularly
those
young men and women who ·are needy and
disadvantaged, with a consequent irreparable loss to the state of valuable talents
vital to its welfare.
It is, therefore,
found and determined that the authority
created by RCW 28B.17.010 is a proper and
effective means of meeting this fiscal
crisis in post-secondary education,
which
is contrary to the general welfare of the
inhabitants of the state. (1973 1st ex.s.

counting centers, and the procedure at the
counting centers shall include but not be
limited to the following provisions:
(1)
On the day of the election and at
the direction of the county auditor, a
representative of each major political

county auditor and under the observation
of two election officers, who shall not be
of the same political party. A£ter the
polls have been closed to voting,
such
proceedings shall be open to the public,

authorized for the purpose shall touch any
ballot card or ballot container.
If upon

automatic
tabulating equipment, a true duplicate
copy shall be made of the damaged ballot
in the presence of witnesses and substituted for the damaged ballot.

who shall not be of the same
political party, and shall be open to
representatives of the political parties,
candidates, the press and the public. The
test shall be conducted by processing a
pre-audited group of ballots so punched or

made
before
the automatic tabulating
equipment is approved. The test shall be
repeated immediately before the start of

officers, not of the same political party,
shall be stationed at the counting center
throughout the official count. such persons, upon mutual agreement, may request
that the tabulating equipment be stopped
as many as three times during the official
count so that the accuracy of the proceedings can be again verified at such unscheduled stops by the count of the preaudited group of ballots.
(4)
The returns printed by the automatic tabulating equipment, to which has been
added the count of write-in and absentee
votes, shall constitute the official returns of each precinct or election district. (1973 1st ex.s. c 70 § 1i 1967

which fund balance shall not exceed thirty-seven and one-half cents per thousand
dollars of assessed value.
Such fund
shall be maintained by an annual budget
allowance.
When the necessity therefor
arises transfers may be made to
the
emergency fund from any tax-supported fund
except bond interest and redemption funds.
The city council by an ordinance approved by two-thirds of all of its members
may authorize the expenditure of sufficient money from the emergency fund to
meet the expenses or obligations:
(1)
caused by fire,
flood, explosion,
storm,
earthquake, epidemic, riot, insurrection, act of God, act of the public
enemy or any other such happening that
could not have been anticipated; or
(2)
For the immediate preservation of
order or public health or for the restoration to a condition of usefulness of
public property the usefulness of which
has been destroyed by accident; or
(3)
In settlement of approved claims
for personal injuries or property damages,
exclusive of claims arising from
the
operation of a public utility owned by the
city; or
(4)
To meet mandatory expenditures required by laws enacted since the last
budget was adopted.
The city council by an ordinance approved by three-fourths of all its members
may appropriate from the emergency fund,
an amount sufficient to meet the actual
necessary expenditures of the city for
which insufficient or no appropriations
have been made due to causes which could
not reasonably have been foreseen at the
time of the making of the budget.
An ordinance authorizing an emergency
expenditure shall become effective immedi~

JEFFE£!IV~ ~YNE-1~ 1981.1--(1)--The state
treasurer, based on information provided
by the department of motor vehicles, shall
distribute to each municipality operating
a public mass transportation system which
requests and qualifies for state financial
assistance, such amounts as the legislature appropriates for public mass transit
assistance in each fiscal biennium.
The
amount to be distributed to any municipality for purposes of local public transportation assistance from any legislative
appropriation for that purpose shall be an
amount equal to the amount budgeted by
such municipality to be expended for local
public
transportation
from local tax
sources but in no event shall the amount
distributed
to a municipality in any
calendar year be more than the maximum
limit established by the dollar amount
calculated pursuant to the formula ~n
subsection (2) of this section.
(2) The dollar amount of the maximum
limit referred to in subsection (1) of
this section shall be determined by the
following formula:
One-half of the total
amount of motor vehicle excise
taxes
remitted to the department during the most
recent calendar year for which data is
available, except those payable under RCW
82.44.030 and 82.44.070, from each county
shall be multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the population of
the subject municipality residing in such
county, and the denominator of which is
the total population of the county in
which such municipality or portion thereof
is located. The product of this computa~
tion shall be the maximum amount to be
distributed to any municipality from whatever funds may be appropriated by the
legislature for purposes of local public
transportation assistance. Where the municipality is located in more than one
county, separate computations shall be
made for each county, and the combined
products shall provide the maximum limit.
Population
figures required for these
computations shall be supplied by the
office of program planning and fiscal
management to the director of the department of motor vehicles, who shall adjust
the fraction annually.

assistance shall be made annually by the
state treasurer no later than June 30th of
the calendar year to which the distribution applies.
For purposes of insuring
the equitable distribution of funds appropriated by the legislature, the department
of motor vehicles at the beginning of each
state fiscal biennium for which funds are
appropriated for distribution shall determine the amount of local matching money to
be budgeted within maximum limits by each
municipality for each municipal fiscal
year covered by the state appropriation.
In the event the appropriation by the
legislature is insufficient to match the
amount of locally generated tax revenues
budgeted for transportation purposes by
municipalities within maximum limits established by this section, the amount
distributed to each municipality shall be
reduced proportionately.
(4)
If after the close of any calendar
year the department of motor vehicles
should determine that any municipality
receiving a grant from the state appropriation for mass transit assistance has not
expended or lawfully contracted to expend
at least ninety percent of the local
matching funds budgeted for mass transit
from local taxes, the apportionment for
the succeeding calendar year to
that
municipality from state assistance funds
shall be reduced by the dollar amount of
the municipality's under-expenditure of
budgeted local tax funds less an adjustment factor calculated as five percent of
the local matching funds budgeted, or one
hundred thousand dollars, whichever is
less.
(5)
Any federal funds received in excess of those anticipated in annual local
transit budgets shall be used in lieu of
state funds distributed to municipalities
pursuant to *this 1973 amendatory act. An
amount equal to the excess federal funds
received shall be returned to the state
treasurer and deposited in the
state
general fund. [ 1973 1st ex. s. c 136 § 6.]

to acquisition or construction solely for
authorized capital purposes and may include an amount to establish a guaranty
fund for revenue bonds issued solely for
capital purposes.
General obligation bonds shall be sold

mature in not to exceed forty years from
the date of issue.
The various annual
maturities shall commence not more than
five years from the date of issue of the
bonds and shall as nearly as practicable
be in such amounts as will, together with
the interest on all outstanding bonds of
such issue, be met by equal annual tax
levies.
such bonds shall be signed by the chairman and attested by the secretary of the

metropolitan council, one of which signatures may be a facsimile signature and the
seal of the metropolitan corporation shall
be impressed or imprinted thereon. Each
of the interest coupons shall be signed by
the facsimile signatures of said officials.

buildings, or structures. Such ordinances
may provide for the following:
(a)
That an "improvement board" or officer be designated or appointed to exercise the powers assigned to such board or
officer by the ordinance as specified
herein.
Said board or officer may be an
existing municipal board or officer in the

work with the board and carry out the
duties and exercise the powers assigned to
said public officer by the ordinance.
(c)
That if, after a preliminary investigation of any dwelling, building, or
structure, the board or officer finds that
it is unfit for human habitation or other
use,
he shall cause to be served either
personally or by certified mail,
with
return receipt requested, upon all persons
having any interest therein, as shown upon
the records of the auditor's office of the
county in which such property is located,
and shall post in a conspicuous place on
such property, a complaint stating in what
respects
such
dwelling, building, or
structure is unfit for human habitation or
other use.
If the whereabouts of such
persons is unknown and the same cannot be
ascertained by the board or officer in the
exercise of reasunable diligence, and the
board or officer shall make an affidavit
to the effect, then the serving of such
complaint or order upon such persons may
be made by publishing the same once each
week for two consecutive weeks in a legal
newspaper published in the municipality in
which the property is located, or in the
absence of such legal newspaper, it shall
be posted in three public places in the
municipality in which
the
dwellings,
buildings,
or structures are located.
such complaint shall contain a notice that
a hearing will be held before the board or
officer, at a place therein fixed,
not
less than ten days nor more than thirty
days after the serving of said complaint;

prevailing in courts of law or equity
shall
not be controlling in hearings
before the board or officer.
A copy of
such complaint shall also be filed with
the auditor of the county in which the
dwelling, building, or structure is located, and such filing of the complaint or
order shall have the same force and effect
as other lis pendens notices provided by
law.
(d)
That the board or officer may determine that a dwelling,
building, or
structure is unfit for human habitation or
other use if it finds that conditions
exist in such dwelling, building,
or
structure which are dangerous or injurious
to the health or safety of the occupants
of such dwelling, building, or structure,
the occupants of neighboring dwellings, or
other
residents of such municipality.
such conditions may include the following,
without limitations:
Defects therein increasing the hazards of fire or accident;
inadequate ventilation, light, or sanitary
facilities,
dilapidation,
disrepair,
structural defects, uncleanliness, overcrowding, or inadequate drainage.
The
ordinance shall state reasonable and m~n~­
mum standards covering such conditions,
including those contained in ordinances
adopted in accordance with subdivision (7)
(a)
herein,
to guide the board or the
public officer and the agents and employees of either, in determining the fitness
of a dwelling for human habitation,
or
building or structure for other use.
(e)
That the determination of whether a
dwelling, building, or structure should be
repaired or demolished, shall be based on
specific
stated standards on
(i)
the
degree of structural deterioration of the
dwelling,
building, or structure, or (ii)
the relationship that the estimated cost
of repair bears to the value of the
dwelling, building, or structure, with the
method of determining this value to be
specified in the ordinance.
(f)
That if, after the required hearing, the board or officer determines that
the dwelling is unfit for human habitation, or building or structure is unfit
for other use, it shall state in writing
its findings of fact in support of such
determination, and shall issue and cause
to be served upon the owner or party in
interest thereof, as is provided in subdivision
(1)
(c),
and shall post in a
conspicuous place on said property, an
order which
(i)
requires the owner or
party in interest, within the time specifie~ in the order, to
repair,
alter, or
improve such dwelling, building, or structure to render it fit for human habitation,
or for other use, or to vacate and
close the dwelling,
building, or structure,
if such course of action is deemed
[
proper on the basis of the standards set
forth as required in subdivision (1) (e);
or (ii) requires the owner or party in
interest, within the time specified on the
order, to remove or demolish such dwelling,
building,
or structure,
if this
course of action is deemed proper on the
basis of said standards. If no appeal is
filed, a copy of such order shall be filed
with the auditor of the county in which
the dwelling, building, or structure is
located.
(g)
The owner or any party in interest,
within
thirty days from the date of
service upon the owner and posting of an
order
issued by the board under the
provisions of subdivision
(c)
of this
subsection,
may
file an appeal with the
appeals commission.
The local governing body of the municipality shall designate or establish a
municipal agency to serve as the appeals
commission.
The local governing
body
shall also establish rules of procedure
adequate to assure a prompt and thorough
review of matters submitted to the appeals
commission, and such rules of procedure
shall include the following, without being
limited thereto:
(i)
All matters submitted to the appeals commission must be
resolved by the commission within sixty
days from the date of filing therewith and
(ii) a transcript of the findings of fact
of the appeals commission shall be made
available to the owner or other party in
interest upon demand.
The findings and orders of the appeals
commission shall be reported in the same
manner and shall bear the same legal
consequences as if issued by the board,
and shall be subject to review only in the
manner and to the extent provided in
subdivision (2) of this section.
If the owner or party in interest, following exhaustion of his rights to appeal,
fails to comply with the final order to
repair, alter, improve, vacate, close,
remove, or demolish the dwelling, building, or structure, the board or officer
ma~ direct or cause such dwelling, building, or structure to be repaired, altered,
improved, vacated, and closed, removed, or
demolished.
(h)
That the amount of the cost of such
repairs, alterations or improvements, or
vacating and closing, or removal or demolition by the board or officer, shall be
assessed against the real property upon
which such cost was incurred unless such
amount is previously paid. Upon certification to him by the treasurer of the
municipality in cases arising out of the
city or town or by the county improvement
board or officer, in cases arising out of
the county, of the assessment amount being
due and owing, the county treasurer shall
enter the amount of such assessment upon
the tax rolls against the property for the
current year and the same shall become a
part of the general taxes for that year to
be collected at the same time and with
interest at such rates and in such manner

such dwelling, building, or structure in
accordance with procedures set forth in
said ordinance, and shall credit
the
proceeds of such sale against the cost of
the removal or demolition and if there be

or taking possession of any qualified
public depositary, ascertain the amount of
public funds on deposit therein as disclosed by its records and the amount
thereof covered by deposit insurance and

{2)
within ten days after receipt of such
certification, each such public depositor
shall furnish to the commission verified
statements of its deposits in such depositary as disclosed by its records; (3) upon
receipt of such certificate and statements,
the commission shall ascertain and
fix the amount of such public deposits,

qualified public depositaries, as follows:
First, against the depositary in which the
loss occurred, to the extent of the full

take possession of the securities segregated as collateral by such depositary
pursuant to this chapter and liquidate the
same
for the purpose of paying such
assessment;
(5)
upon receipt of
such
assessment payments, the commission shall
reimburse the public depositors of the
depositary in which the loss occurred to
the extent of the depositary's net deposit
liability to them,

declare any particular security as ineligible to qualify as collateral when in the
commission's judgment it is deemed desirable to do so.

auditor or the supervisor of banking to
thoroughly investigate and report to it
concerning the condition of any bank which
makes application to become a qualified
public depositary for state funds, and may
also as often as it deems
necessary
require
such investigation and report
concerning the condition of any bank which
has been designated as such depositary,
with the expense of the investigation to
be borne by the depositary examined. In
lieu of such investigation or report,
the
commission may rely upon reports made
available to it by the comptroller of the
currency and the director of the federal
deposit insurance corporation.

members of the retirement system established by this chapter with respect to all
periods of service as such, to the exclusion of any pension system existing under
any
prior act except as provided in
subsection (2) o~ this section.
(2)
Any employee serving as a law enforcement officer or fire fighter on March
1,
1970, who is then making retiremen~
contributions under any prior act shall
have his membership transferred to the
system established by this chapter as of
such date. Upon retirement for service or

prior retirement act to which he was
making contributions at the time of this
transfer shall be computed as if he had
not transferred. For the purpose of such
computations, the employee's creditability
of service and eligibility for service or
disability retirement and survivor and all
other benefits shall continue to be as
provided in such prior retirement act, as
if transfer of membership had not occurred.
The excess, if any, of
the
benefits so computed, giving full value to

the employee's prior retirement system was
the Washington public employees' retirement system, payment of such excess shall
be made by that system; if the employee's

remain in that fund for the purpose of
paying the obligations of the fund.
The
municipality shall continue to levy the

and this dollar rate shall be used for the
purpose of paying the benefits provided in
chapters 41.16 and 41.18 RCW.
The obligations of chapter 41.20 RCW shall continue
to be paid from whatever financial sources
the city has been using for this purpose.

and employers� contributions plus credited
interest in the prior system for all
service, as defin�d in this chapter,

the date of the employee's entrance therein until March 1, 1970. Except as provided
for in subsection

funds shall discharge said state retirement systems from any further obligation
to pay benefits to such
transferring
members with respect to such service.

All unfunded liabilities created by
this or any other section of this chapter
shall be computed by ~he actuary in his

Until the unfunded liability contribution
shall have been discontinued, such normal
contribution rate shall be computed to be
sufficient,
when applied to the present
value of the future compensation of the

such
normal contribution rate shall be determined as the uniform and constant percentage of the prospective compensation of all

period following the date of such valuation which is equivalent to the unfunded
liability. The unfunded liability shall
be determined at such date as the excess
of the fundable employer liability over
the sum of the present value of the future
normal contributions payable in respect of
all members in the retirement system at
that date, and the amount of all funds
currently standing to the credit of the

April 1, 1949, and the date of such
employer's admission to the retirement
system:

the employee would have made during the

fact and a written determination of the
dispute based upon the issues presented, a
copy of which shall be mailed or otherwise

shall be final and binding upon both
parties, subject to review by the superior

solely upon the question of whether the
decision of the panel was arbitrary or
capricious.

42.17.010
DECLARATION OF POLICY.
It
is hereby declarea-by-the sovereign-people
to be the public policy of the state of
washington:
( 1)
That political campaign and lobbying
contributions and expenditures be
fully disclosed to the public and that
secrecy is to be avoided.
(2)
That the people have the right to
expect from their elected representatives
at all levels of government the utmost of
integrity, honesty and fairness in their
dealings.
(3) That the people shall be assured
that the private financial dealings of
their public officials, and of candidates
for those offices, present no conflict of
interest between the public trust and
private interests.
(4)
That our representative form of
government is founded on a belief that
those entrusted with the offices of government have nothing to feat from full
public disclosure of their financial and
business holdings,
provided those officials deal honestly and fairly with the
people.
(5)
That public confidence in government at all levels is essential and must
be promoted by all possible mea~s.
(6)
That public confidence ~n government at all levels can best be sustained
by assuring the people of the impartiality
and honesty of the officials in all public
transactions and decisions.
(7)
That the concept of attempting to
increase financial participation of individual contributors in political campaigns
is encouraged by the passage of
the
Revenue Act of 1971 by the congress of the
united States, and in consequence thereof,
it
is desirable to have implementing
legislation at the state level.
(8)
That the concepts of disclosure and
limitation of election campaign financing
are established by the passage of the
Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 by
the congress of the United States, and in
consequence thereof it is desirable to
have implementing legislation at the state
level.
(9)
That small contributions by individual contritutors are to be encouraged,
and that not requiring the reporting of
small contributions may tend to encourage
such contributions.
(10)
That the public's right to know of
the financing of political campaigns and
lobbying and the financial affairs of
elected
officials
and candidates far
outweighs any right that these matters
remain secret and private.
(11)
That,
mindful of the right of
individuals ~o privacy and of the desirability of the efficient administration of
government, full access to information
concerning the conduct of government on
every level must be assured as a fundamen·
tal and necessary precondition to the
sound governance of a free society.
The provisions of this chapter shall be
liberally construed to promote complete
disclosure of all information respecting
the financing of political campaigns and
lobbying, and the financial affairs of
elected officials and candidates, and full
access to public records so as to assure
continuing public confidence in fairness
of elections and governmental processes,
and so as to assure that the public
interest will be fully protected. [1973 c

proportion to the increase in the size and
cargo capacity of ships, barges, and other
waterborne carriers, the construction and
operational characteristics of these carriers, the density of waterborne traffic,
and the need for a greater supply of
petroleum products.
A program of systematic baseline studies
to be conducted by the department of
ecology has been recognized as a vital
part of the efforts to reduce the risk of
oil pollution of marine waters, and the
1e9islature recognizes that many factors
combine to make this effort one of considerable
magnitude and difficulty.
The
marine shoreline of the state is about two
thousand
seven hundred miles long,
a
greater
length
than
the
combined
coastlines
of
Oregon and California.
There are some three million acres of
submerged land and more than three hundred
islands in these marine waters.
The
average
depth of Puget Sound is two
hundred twenty feet.
There is a great
diversity of animal life in the waters of
the state. These waters have a multitude
of uses by both humans and nonhumans, and
the interaction between man's activities
and natural processes in these waters
varies greatly with locale.

(1)
It shall be the duty of the supervisor of
the division of industrial safety and
health or his deputy to carefully examine
each coal mine in operation in this state
at least every four months, and as much
oftener as is necessary, to see that �Very
precaution is taken to insure the safety
of all workmen who may be engaged in the
mine.
These inspections shall include at
least two visits of the inspection force
to every working place in every mine in
the state during each calendar year.
The
supervisor or his deputy shall make a
record of each visit, noting the time and
the material circumstances of the inspection, and shall keep each record on file
in the office of the department; and also
post at the mine a
notice
of
his
inspection.
(2)
If the management of any operating
company shall refuse to permit the members
of the department to enter any mine, the
supervisor or his deputy shall file an
affidavit setting forth such refusal, with
the judge of the superior court of the
county in which the mine is situated, and
obtain an order from such judge commanding
the management of the operating company to
permit such examination and inspection,
and to furnish the necessary facilities
for the same, or in default thereof to be
adjudged in contempt of court and punished
accordingly.
(3)
If the supervisor or his deputy
shall, after examination of any mine, or
the works and machinery connected therewith, find the same to be worked contrary
to the provisions of this act (1917 c 36),
or unsafe for the workmen employed therein, the supervisor shall notify the management,
stating
what
changes
are
necessary. If the trouble is not corrected within reasonable time, the supervisor

hearing the parties and their evidence, as
in like cases, shall issue its writ to
restrain the workings of said mine until
all cause of danger is removed; and the
cost of such proceeding shall be borne by
the operating company of the mine:
PROVIDED, That if the said court shall find
the cause not sufficient, then the case
shall be dismissed, and the costs will be
borne by the state: PROVIDED, ALSO, That

inspection of a mine, or portion of a
mine, such dangerous condition existing
therein that in his opinion any delay in
removing the workmen from such dangerous
places might cause loss of life or serious
personal injury to the employee,
the
supervisor shall have the right to temporarily withdraw all persons from such
dangerous places until the foregoing provisions of this section can be carried
into effect.
(4)
whenever he is notified of any loss
of life in or about the mine, or wbenever

occurs, the supervisor shall immediately
go or send his deputy to the scene of the
accident to investigate and to render
every possible assistance.

The expenses of operating the
retirement system shall be paid
from
appropriations made for the operation of
the washington state patrol.
(2)
The "fundable employer liability"
at any date shall be the present value of:
(a)
All future pension benefits payable
in respect of all members in the retirement system at that date, and
(b)
All future benefits in respect of
beneficiaries then rece~v~ng retirement
allowances or pensions.
(3)
The contributions by the state for
benefits under the retirement system shall
consist of the sum of a percentage of the
compensation of members to be known as the
11 norma·l contr ibution 11 ,
and a percentage of
such compensation to be known as the
"unfunded liability contribution".
The
rates of such contributions shall
be
~etermined
by the retirement board on the
basis of assets and liabilities as shown
by actuarial valuation.

After the completion of each actuarial
valuation,
the retirement board
shall determine or redetermine the normal
contribution rate and such contribution
rate shall become effective in the ensuing
biennium.
Until the unfunded liability
contribution shall have been discontinued,
such normal contribution rate shall be
computed to be sufficient, when applied to
the present value of the future compensation of the average new member entering
the system, to provide for the paysent of
all prospective pension benefits in respect of such member.
After the unfunded
liability contributions have been discontinued,
such normal contribution rate
shall be determined as the uniform and
constant percentage of the prospective
compensation of all members in the retirement system at the date of such valuation
which is equivalent to the excess of the
fundable
employer
liability over the
amount of funds currently standing to the
credit of the retirement fund.
(5)
After the completion of each actuarial
valuation, the retirement board
shall determine or redetermine the unfunded liability contribution rate, and such
rate shall become effective in the ensuing
biennium.
The unfunded liability contribution rate shall not be less than the
uniform and constant percentage of the
prospective compensation of all members in
the retirement system for the forty-year
period following the date of such valuation which is equivalent to the unfunded
liability. The unfunded liability shall
be determined at such date as the excess
of the fundable employer liability over
the sum of the present value of the future
normal contributions payable in respect of
all members in the retirement system at
that date, and the amount of all funds
currently standing to the credit of the
