Bill Summary

AN ACT Relating to requirements of oil tankers operating in 2 restricted waters; and amending RCW 88.16.190. 3

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to clarify that oil tankers, regardless of their registration status, that are larger than 125,000 deadweight tons (a measure of a ship's carrying capacity) are prohibited from sailing east of a specific line between Discovery Island and New Dungeness light, unless they receive authorization from the United States Coast Guard. This change maintains the existing restriction on large oil tankers operating in these restricted waters, which are likely sensitive marine environments.
