BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1 RCW 46.09.280 and 1986 c 206 s 13 are each amended to read
as follows:
The interagency committee for outdoor recreation shall establish
((a committee of nonhighway road recreationists, including
representatives of organized ORV groups,)) the nonhighway and off-road
vehicle advisory committee to provide advice regarding the
administration of this chapter. The nonhighway and off-road vehicle
advisory committee consists of a proportional representation of persons
with recreational experience in areas identified in the most recent
fuel use study, including but not limited to people with off-road
vehicle, hiking, equestrian, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, and
wildlife viewing experience. Only representatives of organized ORV
groups may be voting members of the committee with respect to
expenditure of funds received under RCW 46.09.110.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2 The nonhighway and off-road vehicle advisory
committee created in RCW 46.09.280 must review the existing nonhighway
and off-road vehicle distribution formulas and policies in RCW
46.09.020, 46.09.170, and 46.09.280 and develop recommendations for
statutory changes. The recommendations should be consistent with the
results of the most recent fuel use study, and address the operation
and maintenance needs of existing facilities. For the review in this
section, the committee must also include representation of county
sheriffs, recreational land managers, the state parks and recreation
commission, the department of fish and wildlife, and the department of
natural resources, and two members of the senate appointed by the
president of the senate, to include one member from each major caucus,
and two members of the house of representatives appointed by the
speaker of the house of representatives, to include one member from
each major caucus. In the senate, members must be selected from the
parks, fish and wildlife committee and ways and means committee. In
the house of representatives, members must be selected from the
fisheries, ecology and parks committee and either the appropriations or
capital budget committee. Recommendations must be submitted to the
appropriate standing committees of the legislature by January 1, 2004.
