    On page 2, line 3, after "(b)" strike all material through "years." on line 13 and insert "A county may use up to twenty-five percent of the total amount for maintenance and operations of recreational land if the county has:

    (i) Acquired rights and interests in four hundred or more acres of real property under RCW 84.34.210 and 84.34.220; and

    (ii) Collected a conservation futures levy for twenty or more years."

EFFECT: Permits a county to use up to 25 percent of tax revenue for maintenance and operations if it has: (1) acquired rights and interests in at least 400 acres; and (2) assessed the levy for at least 20 years.

Removes a provision that would have allowed counties to use up to 35 percent of tax revenues beginning 2025.
