RCW 46.16.30906
Law enforcement memorial account. (Effective until July 1, 2011.)

(1) The law enforcement memorial account is created in the custody of the state treasurer. Upon the department's determination that the state has been reimbursed for the cost of implementing the law enforcement memorial special license plate, all receipts, except as provided in *RCW 46.16.313 (7) and (8), from law enforcement memorial license plates must be deposited into the account. Only the director of the department of licensing or the director's designee may authorize expenditures from the account. The account is subject to allotment procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but an appropriation is not required for expenditures.

     (2) Funds in the account must be disbursed subject to the following conditions and limitations:

     (a) Pursuant to the requirements set out in RCW 46.16.765 the department must contract with a qualified nonprofit organization to provide support and assistance to survivors and families of law enforcement officers in Washington killed in the line of duty and to organize, finance, fund, construct, utilize, and maintain a memorial on the state capitol grounds to honor those fallen officers.

     (b) For the purposes of this section, a "qualified nonprofit organization" means a not-for-profit corporation incorporated and operating exclusively in Washington that has received a determination of tax exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the federal internal revenue code. The organization must have been established for the express purposes of providing support and assistance to the survivors and families of law enforcement officers in Washington killed in the line of duty and to organize, finance, fund, construct, utilize, and maintain a memorial on the state capitol grounds to honor those fallen officers.

     (c) The qualified nonprofit must meet all requirements set out in RCW 46.16.765.
