Committee staff described SB 5,157 as a bill authorizing additional direct sales of valuable materials on state lands to support habitat restoration projects. Lily Smith, staff to the committee, told members there was one amendment listed in the committee bill file by Representative Orcutt and that the amendment would reduce the maximum appraised value of those additional materials from $250,000 to $100,000.

Representative Orcutt withdrew the amendment during executive session and explained the reasons for opposing the bill as presented: \"Contrary to what my vote is going to be, my vote is going to be nay without recommendation... I think the policy is an important policy. I do think the 25,000 is a little bit low. I'm a little concerned that the 250,000 is a bit too high... we need to do some continued work on this.\" Orcutt said they hoped to work with interested members and the Department of Natural Resources to find a better statutory cap.

Representative Nance argued for a yes vote, saying the increased cap could reduce delays in permitting or contracting for habitat restoration projects and \"can help us alleviate that bottleneck and better empower the folks on the ground to do this critical work.\" The committee then conducted a roll-call vote: Reeves (aye); Morgan (aye); Dent (aye); Engel (aye); Birnbaum (aye); McClintock (nay without recommendation); Nance (aye); Orcutt (nay without recommendation); Richards (aye); Schmidt (nay without recommendation); Springer (aye). Staff announced the final tally as 8 ayes, 3 nays, 0 excused or absent.

By that vote, SB 5,157 was reported out of committee with a due-pass recommendation. Committeemembers asked for further work on the statutory dollar cap; the committee did not adopt a substitute cap during the session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Agriculture & Natural Resources - 3/21/2025 10:30 AM","oneSentenceSummary","The committee reported substitute Senate Bill 5,157 out of committee with a due-pass recommendation (8–3) after debate over the statutory dollar cap for direct sales of materials from state lands for habitat restoration.","taxTitle","Agriculture and Natural Resources, House of Representatives, Legislative Sessions, Washington","taxId",20253,"location","Washington","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6116323,"Committee advances bill creating Puget Sound non-spot shrimp pot license",313,32000,345000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2733405-cae404ad34a3e77da20a8b0765278c64&start=32&end=345","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2733405-cae404ad34a3e77da20a8b0765278c64/thumbnail_32000.jpg","/articles/6116323/Washington/Committee-advances-bill-creating-Puget-Sound-non-spot-shrimp-pot-license","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6116323-3c3fcaddc96c1957410a54d340f51d06/orig.mp4?Expires=1771010747&Signature=Ae7QXNs4WP~rdkIwrMd-wxzhlm5N5ODTBeaxYGt6bXXul46OMYrVAsL3o3fWS88wLaRoZkdU6n0tnCwbJgAtRwS~Rq0FWyzZ8rYNtz03GMy6v~z1ircV0Dl5rCfMY2gFqhgEZlMvpVHBqkuHZej~RtqZrkncPJV5cMCZ9kXe7cKdl4K3IdBkADdPZRfW7-7frFhpdvIMVlCcvS4OYs1meg5COfyw7XmOtWV02UuieYeODFqFKxzQe4lLOi7tzgMBynHU3-o4mdz98Q25w3qpt9r9FwwWeCVF6~9sio7v9LffMd0ot9aJ7aV~oZVTuwpRVrVOgqIfKvLiOg1OeIdiNA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee voted to report substitute Senate Bill 5,076 out of committee with a due-pass recommendation on March 21.

Committee staff described the bill as establishing a Puget Sound non-spot shrimp pot fishery license and allowing conversion of shrimp trawl licenses, and permitting licensees to designate an immediate family member of their spouse as an alternate operator. Rebecca Lewis, staff to the committee, summarized the bill for members before the vote.

Representative McClintock urged colleagues to support the measure, saying, \"Senator Muzzall has worked on this for the last couple of years, and we feel this is, good for protecting our environment and just transferring over, the way, this, ********* is done in the Puget Puget Sound.\" The committee chair also encouraged a yes vote.

The committee took a voice vote and staff announced the result as 11 ayes, 0 nays, and 0 excused or absent; by that vote the bill was reported out of committee with a due-pass recommendation.

Rebecca Lewis, staff to the committee, told members the bill would extend the current livestock inspection fee schedule, the Livestock Identification Advisory Committee, and a reporting requirement through July 1, 2030. Representative Dent, ranking member, outlined the bill’s history, saying the brand program relies on fees and that prior extensions were granted in 2019 and 2023 to keep the program solvent. \"The brand program is kinda like a title for your car. You know, you put a brand on your livestock, and that's your title. That's your ownership,\" Dent said, explaining the purpose of the program.

Representative Birnbaum said the program helps keep animals safe and prevents disease. The committee held a voice vote and staff announced the result as 11 ayes, 0 nays, and 0 excused or absent. By that vote, SB 5,485 was reported out of committee with a due-pass recommendation.

Representative Engel explained the policy intent: to prevent more populous counties from exhausting funds early in the year and to ensure rural producers in 12 Frontier 1 counties have access to a reserved share. Engel said the bill \"would allow those extra rural frontier 1 counties... reserve 20% of the money to be available to those producers.
