HB 1429: Aquatic invasive species

Concerning aquatic invasive species management.

Summary

  • Consolidates the Aquatic Invasive Species Enforcement Account and the Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Account into a single Aquatic Invasive Species Management Account, funded by derelict vessel and invasive species removal fees, aquatic invasive species prevention permits, and utility taxes, among other sources, for the purpose of funding certain aquatic invasive species-related measures.
  • Creates a $20 aquatic invasive species prevention permit applicable to operators of certain vessels and aquatic conveyances, and to commercial transporters of certain vessels and aquatic conveyances.
  • Creates, as an infraction under the Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Code, the failure to possess a valid aquatic invasive species prevention permit.
  • Requires that owners and operators of vessels covered by Washington's ballast water management law ensure that vessels under their ownership or control do not release aquatic organisms into the waters of the state except as may be authorized by rules adopted by the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
