HB 2970 - DIGEST

     Finds that the dollar threshold for what constitutes substantial development under the shoreline management act has not been changed since 1971.

     Recognizes that the effects of inflation have brought in many activities under the jurisdiction of chapter 90.58 RCW that would have been exempted under its original provisions.

     Declares an intent to modify the current dollar threshold for what constitutes substantial development under the shoreline management act, and to have this threshold readjusted on a five-year basis.
