Providing exemptions from SEPA for reductions of city limits and disincorporations.


    AN ACT Relating to exemptions from the state environmental policy act for reductions of city limits and disincorporations; adding a new section to chapter 43.21C RCW; and creating a new section.

 

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

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  Incorporations and annexations are exempt from the state environmental policy act.  However, there are no comparable exemptions for reductions of city limits or disincorporations.  It is the legislature's intent to provide that a reduction in city limits or disincorporation is not subject to the state environmental policy act.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  A new section is added to chapter 43.21C RCW to read as follows:

    (1) The disincorporation of a city or town is exempt from compliance with this chapter.

    (2) The reduction of city or town limits is exempt from compliance with this chapter.
