AN ACT Relating to auctioning vessels; and amending RCW 88.02.230.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1 RCW 88.02.230 and 1990 c 250 s 90 are each amended to read
as follows:
(1) The department may exempt from compliance with the vessel
dealer requirements of this chapter, any person who is engaged in the
business of selling in this state at wholesale or retail, human-powered
watercraft which is: (a) Under sixteen feet in length; (b) unable to
be powered by propulsion machinery or wind propulsion as designed by
the manufacturer; and (c) not designed for use on commonly-used
navigable waters.
(2) Any person engaged in the business of selling at wholesale or
retail, exempt and nonexempt watercraft under this section shall only
be required to comply with the provisions of this chapter in regard to
the sale of nonexempt watercraft.
(3) An auction company licensed under chapter 18.11 RCW and
licensed as a motor vehicle dealer under chapter 46.70 RCW may sell at
auction, without registering as a vessel dealer, all vessels that a
vessel dealer is authorized to sell, so long as the sale of vessels is
incidental to the auction company's primary source of business and the
length of any vessel being sold is no greater than twenty-five feet.
The auction company shall comply with all other vessel dealer
requirements of this chapter and rules adopted under this chapter if
the registration fees and surety bond requirements in RCW 88.02.060 are
waived.
