EFFECT: Removes the sanctions imposed if the scheduled updates are not met.  Removes the requirement that best available science be used when reviewing and updating comprehensive plans, natural resource lands, and critical areas.  Requires that the county taxable retail sales per capita must be at least 45% of the median county taxable retail sales per capita for the state to be subject to the comprehensive plan review requirements.  Raises to ten years the amount of time between the first review and subsequent reviews for Clark, King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, and Thurston counties and the cities within those counties.
