Governor signs two Warnick bills
Bills deal with hunters with disabilities and
fertilizer regulations
Rep. Judy Warnick,
R-Moses Lake, returned to
Olympia today to watch two bills she prime-sponsored get signed into law
by the governor.
House Bill 2467 streamlines the process of registering and
administering fertilizers. Warnick said the Department of Agriculture
came to her with the problem.
"This bill simply
clarifies requirements for the labeling of fertilizers, as well as the
reporting and fees that go along with using fertilizers," Warnick said.
House Bill 2540 relates to the Fish and Wildlife Commission Advisory
Committee for Persons with Disabilities. The commission sets rules and
regulations that help hunters and fishers with disabilities enjoy their
hobbies safely and effectively.
"This legislation was so
important even though it may not involve a lot of people. But for those
that it affects, it means a lot," Warnick said. "I spoke with a veteran
with disabilities who enjoys hunting and fishing. He was very concerned
this bill was not going to become law. I'm so happy for these folks that
the important work of the commission will continue indefinitely."
Both laws take effect July
1, 2008.
