Bill > SB5915

This bill extends an existing hazardous substance tax exemption for certain agricultural crop protection products that are temporarily warehoused in the state of Washington but not otherwise used, manufactured, packaged, or sold within the state. The bill amends the existing law to clarify the definition of "agricultural crop protection product" and the conditions under which the exemption applies, such as requiring that the person possessing the substance does not otherwise use, manufacture, package for sale, or sell the substance in Washington. The bill also provides legislative intent, noting that the purpose of the exemption is to encourage the regional competitiveness of agricultural distribution by incentivizing the storage of these products in Washington as they are engaged in interstate commerce.
