HB 3111 - DIGEST

     Declares that it is the policy of the legislature that:  (1) The access rights of an owner of property abutting the state highway system are to be balanced with the public's right and interest in a safe and efficient highway system; and

     (2) every owner of property which abuts a state highway has a right to reasonable access to that highway, unless such access has been acquired pursuant to chapter 47.52 RCW, but may not have the right of a particular means of access unless it was an unpermitted connection to the state highway in existence on July 1, 1990, where the local jurisdiction has exercised its authority under RCW 46.61.415.
