Sec. 1. RCW 75.25.080 and 1989 c
305 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) It is lawful to dig
the personal-use daily bag limit of razor clams for another person if that
person has in possession a physical disability permit issued by the director.
(2) An application for
a physical disability permit must be submitted on a department of fisheries
official form and must be accompanied by a licensed medical doctor's
certification of disability.
(3) A
person with a physical disability permit is not required to be present at the
location where another person is digging razor clams for the disabled person.
The physical disability permittee is required to be in the direct line of sight
of the person digging razor clams for him or her, unless it is not possible to
be in a direct line of sight because of a physical obstruction or other
barrier. If such a barrier or obstruction exists, the physical disability
permittee is required to be within one-quarter mile of the person who is
digging razor clams for him or her.
