BILL INFORMATION

PRIORITY& POSITION

Prohibits the unauthorized scanning of an identification device remotely, unless an exception applies.  Bill also restricts the collection and retention of certain types of data by a govt. or business entity, unless the person associated with the data consents.  Concerned about bill applying to the Smart Card.

General statewide tolling policies are placed into law, applicable to all state toll bridges and other state toll facilities. Tolls may not be imposed on any state transportation facility unless first authorized by the Legislature. In addition to traditional bridges and highways, state toll facilities may include transportation corridors, approaches, and bi-state facilities. Overall policy is to encourage the effective use of the transportation system and to provide a source of transportation funding.

Use of Toll Revenue: Toll revenue must only be used to construct, improve, preserve, or operate the toll facility. Toll revenue may only be used for the following purposes: to cover operating costs, including maintenance, preservation, administration, & toll enforcement; to satisfy debt payments and financing costs; to meet any other obligations to provide funding contributions for any projects or operations on the toll facility; to provide operations of public transportation (the 10 percent cap has been removed).

Bill requires the Department of Ecology to adopt rules requiring any person that operates or is responsible for operations that emit at least 25,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases annually in the state, or 2,500 metric tons of greenhouse gases annually in the state from on-road mobile sources, to report their total greenhouse gas emissions to the department or to a third party entity established for collecting and distributing green house gas emission information - reporting begins in 2010 for 2009. 

A reporting fee to be paid to the third party entity or to Ecology. From $500 million - $2 billion = $3,500
From $100 million - $500 million = $2,500
From $20 million - $100 million = $850
Under $20 million = $450

Double amount for verification.

Will my organization have to report its emissions?
2,500 metric tons of CO2 from on-road vehicles would be generated from the consumption of more than 254,500 gallons of gasoline (19.64 pounds of CO2 are generated per gallon of fuel burned) or 223,400 gals of diesel fuel (22.38 pounds of CO2 are generated per gallon of fuel burned) each year.  If your organization uses more than these amounts of fuel each year, individually or in combination, you would be required to begin reporting all of your CO2 emissions beginning in 2010 for calendar year 2009. 25,000 metric tons of CO2 is a very large quantity and is likely only generated by facilities with large combustion sources (such as steam-generating plants).
