AN ACT Relating to the digging of razor clams for persons with physical disability permits; and amending RCW 75.25.080.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

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.
