SB 6260 Discover/WDFW Pass Fine Distribution
« on: January 20, 2014, 08:45:51 AM »
Senate Bill 6260 sponsored by Senators Hatfield, King, Padden, Parlette, and Kline was introduced today and regards Discover/WDFW Pass fine money. Some history:

Prior to 2012 all Discover/WDFW Pass fine money was handled like all other fines. 32% goes to the state general fund and the county keeps the remaining 68%.

In 2012 legislation was passed that all Discover/WDFW pass fine money would go into the Recreation Pass Account which is where the money from the sales of the Discover/WDFW pass goes.

This bill, would go back to the "old" form of 32% going to the state, and 68% going to the county. The only change is, the 32% that goes to the state would not go into the general fund, but rather into the Recreation Pass Account.

I HATE the pass and can't vote because NOTHING good has come from ANY portion of the DP being implemented.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I have to agree with you SpecialT, this is a seemingly unconstitutional tax that the people did not get to vote on. I don't agree with it and am not voting for the funds to go to either place.

Actually State Parks was against having the fine money going into the Discover Pass account
