    On page 6, after line 22, insert the following:

    "NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3.  A new section is added to chapter 90.58 RCW to read as follows:

    (2) Nothing in this section authorizes a local government to prohibit the use and operation of marine aquaculture net pen facilities that are in conformity with applicable requirements as of January 1, 2013."
