On page 3, after line 25 of the amendment, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 79A.15 RCW to read as follows:

In a county in which public land, federal land, and tribal land together constitute more than seventy percent of the total area of the county, a state or local agency must consult with the appropriate county or city legislative authority with jurisdiction over the project area prior to applying for funds for acquisition of property under this chapter. Project applications that do not include a letter of support from the county or city legislative authority must be given lower priority in the grant evaluation process. If a project application does not include a letter of support from the appropriate county or city legislative authority, but is recommended for funding by the committee, this information must be included in the prioritized list submitted to the governor and the legislature under RCW 79A.15.060 and 79A.15.070."

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct internal references accordingly.

EFFECT: Requires that applicants for WWRP funds for land acquisition consult with the local county legislative authority prior to applying for a grant in any county with over 70% of land in public ownership. If a project proposed for funding in any of these counties is not supported by the county legislative authority, this information must be sent to the Governor and Legislature with the biennial WWRP project list.
