Quote from: ICEMAN on February 23, 2013, 08:55:24 PMSo I am trout fishing in Idaho on a Sunday and want to drive home. How do I get written documentation before I can go home? Washington state officials to decide what type of documentation is required, inspection and documentation to occur in Idaho, prior to crossing into Washington?Under the bill WDFW has to determine what type of documentation is required. The documentation is not set right now. It will be up to WDFW if they will accept another state's inspection and how recently it must have happened.

Would drivng with a trailered boat in the general vicinity(+/- fifty miles?) of the states borders be sufficient probable cause to pull you over and ask to see the papers? What if you hadn't left the state? How do you prove you hadn't left the state?
I hate bills like this that throw something out there and just say, we'll let ____ agency write the actual law for it. I think the idea is OK to try and stop invasive species, however its BS the way the are writing law.

Stupid unrealistic law IMHO. Can we make it any more inconvenient for Washington sportsmen?

There are certain times where it will say along the highway "all vehicles trailering boats must exit". If you don't you are stopped and cited.http://wdfw.wa.gov/news/jul0111a/

lokidog, I think the way it is written you could launch in OR and pick it up in WA and get around the paperwork. I looked and it only said vessels transported by land. So the guys fishing OR for mahi/tuna can still get to Westport and such.BT, do government/research vessels fall into this? under commercial?

WSP is trained and already does inspections at their Ports of Entry. If this bill passes WDFW has to set up a lot of the program.
