Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: The fish and wildlife lands vehicle use permit is issued with the first recreational license, other than shellfish. Additional permits may be purchased. The license is required to be displayed, and this rule identifies that the definition of "display" is different depending on whether the licensee wants the permit to be transferable between vehicles or used on only one vehicle. This rule will help motorists understand what is required and will allow enforcement of the permit requirement.
Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: Adds a new definition. Clarifies permit issuance.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. These rules affect recreational permit holders, not small businesses.
RCW 34.05.328 does not apply to this rule adoption. Not hydraulics rules.
