Senate Bill SB5971 is one of those so called carbon bills. It raises a lot of taxes and fees, but regardless of how you feel about the other segments of this legislation, the one thing that ORV enthusiasts should consider is the six cents a gallon increase in the motor vehicle fuel tax. What...

The Washington State Legislature will probably be increasing your gas taxes. If/when that happens it will be important to make sure the nonhighway and offroad vehicle activities (NOVA) account appropriation portion of the tax increase is adjusted accordingly so we get our fair share. Ask your...

Not part of any budget legislation introduced so far. That said, the DNR could be requesting that budget language be added that re-appropriates some of our existing NOVA funds to a specific project. Any request for fresh money (as opposed to just re-directing what we already have) is a...

SB5200 has been passed by the House Rules Committee. It now goes to a vote of the full House of Representatives. This is the last step before the Governor’s desk. It would be a shame for this legislation be unanimously passed by the Senate four years in a row only to die in the House every time...

SB5200 would allow spouses to pool their volunteer hours for the purpose of earning a free Discover Pass. It is very similar to 2013 / 2014 Senate Bill SB5097 and 2015 / 2016 Senate Bill SB5205. We came very close to passing those two bills. There was close to zero opposition, it is just not...

I will be there and available to discuss legal and political issues.
