HB 2207 - DIGEST

     Finds that the primary purpose of the salmon recovery office was the development of the statewide salmon recovery strategy for submittal to the appropriate federal agencies.

     Finds that since the development and submittal of this strategy has been accomplished, the remaining tasks of the salmon recovery office can be accomplished through existing state agencies.

     Believes that by relying upon existing state agencies to accomplish salmon recovery, there will be less duplication of effort within the executive branch and a corresponding savings of resources.

     Repeals RCW 77.85.030 and 77.85.150.
