I’m in a Local Government Committee meeting where we’re hearing five bills and will take Executive Action on several bills later in the meeting. The five bills we’re hearing are …
HB 1264 disallows proceeding with a partial merger of a fire protection district when the board of fire district commissioners in either the merging district or the merger district does not approve the partial merger petition. It also modifies provisions governing when an election on the question of a partial merger of a fire protection district is not necessary and the method of naming merged districts with area located in different counties.
HB 1269 amends voting provisions for diking and related districts by modifying the definition of "qualified voter of a special district” and requires legal and governmental entities with voting rights in diking and related districts to register with a diking district in advance of the district's general election.
HB 1274 removes requirements obligating cities and towns to transmit certain adopted budget documents to the Association of Washington Cities and the State Auditor. It authorizes cities and towns to accept credit cards, charge cards, debit cards and other forms of electronic payment for payments of any kind. It also repeals duplicate receipt production and related filing and penalty provisions for county sheriffs.
HB 1360 extends the termination date that qualifying counties have to designate industrial land banks for major industrial activity and to adopt conforming regulations.
HB 1367 authorizes cities and towns to declare by ordinance what is deemed a nuisance within the city or town, which may include "litter" and "potentially dangerous litter" as defined by statute, to abate the nuisance and to recover reimbursement costs for the abatement. It also authorizes cities and towns to have a lien against property to recover costs for abating a nuisance.
Once the Committee Meeting ends, I have to call the Seattle Times regarding HB 1371, WA Firearms Freedom Act, and then heading home for the weekend.
