February 14th - 2013 Regular Legislative Session Day 31

In the Appropriations Subcommittee on General Government Committee meeting today we’re getting briefed by the Secretary of State, the Washington State Historical Society, the Eastern Washington Historical Society, the Washington State Arts Commission, and the Department of Archeology and Historical Preservation. The operating budget for the Washington State Historical Society is $3.5 million and operating budget for the Eastern Washington Historical Society is $3.2 million. Why exactly does Washington State need two separate historical societies?

We’re also holding two public hearings on bills. House Bill 1613 creates the Criminal Justice Training Commission Firing Range Maintenance Account (Account) in the custody of the State Treasurer; requires moneys generated by the rental of the firing range facilities be deposited into the Account; and requires expenditures from the Account to be used for maintenance and development of the firing range facilities, property, and equipment.

House Bill 1618 designates two categories of building permit fees which are collected by a county or a city and enables the Building Code Council Account to maintain an operating contingency fund of up to six months' average expenditures.
