March 27th - 2013 Regular Legislative Session Day 73

My final meeting of the day is in the Appropriations Subcommittee on General Government where we’re having a Work Session related to the Military Department. We’re also hearing four bills and may consider two bills for Executive Action. Senate Bill 5052 increases the number of statutorily authorized superior court judges in Whatcom County from three to four.

Senate Bill 5069 increases the number of statutorily authorized superior court judges in Benton and Franklin counties, jointly, from six to seven.

Senate Bill 5516 creates the Criminal Justice Training Commission Firing Range Maintenance Account (Account) in the custody of the State Treasurer; requires moneys generated by the rental of the firing range facilities to be deposited into the Account; and requires expenditures from the Account to be used for maintenance and development of the firing range facilities, property, and equipment.

Substitute Senate Bill 5760 allows the owner of commercial crops to receive compensation for damage caused to the crops by bighorn sheep and directs the Department of Fish and Wildlife to pay crop damage compensation claims in the order they were received, even if the incident occurred in a previous biennium.
