HB 2226 - DIGEST

Provides that an applicant for a land use permit or approval who proceeds with construction after the permit or approval has been challenged under RCW 36.70C.040, but before a court has made a decision under RCW 36.70C.140, does so at the applicant's own risk. A court is not required to apply the common law doctrine of balancing the equities if doing so would reward a land use applicant for proceeding under an unlawful land use decision.
