HB 2162 - DIGEST

(SEE ALSO PROPOSED 2ND SUB)

     Finds that the current method for determining water-dependent rental rates for aquatic land leases for marinas may not be achieving the management goals in RCW 79.90.455.  The current method for setting rental rates for marinas, as well as alternatives to the current methods, should be evaluated in light of achieving management goals for aquatic lands leases.

     Directs the department of natural resources to study and prepare a report to the legislature on alternatives to the current method for determination of water-dependent rent for marina lessees, as set forth in RCW 79.90.480.
