Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to granting counties authority to enter into a 2 shared stewardship agreement; amending RCW 36.75.040; and creating a 3 new section. 4
AI Summary
This bill grants counties the authority to enter into "shared stewardship agreements" with federal land management agencies, such as the United States Forest Service, to manage fuel breaks on federal lands located up to one mile on either side of any road, including highways. A key provision of these agreements is that they must include a revenue-sharing component, allowing the county to retain the proceeds from any timber sales generated from this management work, which aims to help counties address lost revenue from timber sales and support rural schools.
