     On page 3, after line 4, insert the following:

     "NEW SECTION. Sec. 104.  A new section is added to chapter 43.23 RCW to read as follows:

     The director of agriculture may adopt, in accordance with chapter 34.05 RCW, rules or policy statements, other than emergency rules, only:

     (1) As specifically required by federal law, and only to the extent specifically required; or

     (2) As specifically authorized, and only to the extent specifically authorized, by the legislature."

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
