The bill was introduced by Rep Buys who is a Republican from Whatcom County.

Obviously the interesting thing about this is the funding makeup. I would assume/bet that State Parks would have the fewest amount of areas open to rock collection, yet they would get most of the money.

Read over the bill and got dizzy.  Way too complicated to require a rock endorsement.  But I do think recreational rock hounding needs to be allowed if its illegal. 

One of the best ideas I saw on the blue ribbon coalition outdoor recreation comments was that the DNR should allow Christmas tree cutting, like the USFS.  Maybe if the trend is to allow some collecting, but charge for an endorsement, it needs to cover all special forest products for personal use.

Since any kind of removal of rocks, minerals, flowers and as I was told by a park ranger today even sheds is illegal  would this effect the Ginko petrified forest state park?

WDFW, DNR, and State Parks can closed areas to collection. The law also said petrified items are not to be removed.

Realistically, an officer would be more justified right now to have their "sirens blazong" if someone was removing rocks then they would if this bill passed. (not that they would)

As I have already said, right now it's a misdemeanor to remove rocks from state lands. If this passes it'll be a infraction (ticket.)

Wow, that's a huge priority for our state. 

Is the government fearing a good old fashioned public stoning for coming up with bad ideas?

Better make sure to empty the gizzards of any state land shot birds out, might bring some gravel (tiny rocks) home without your permit.   :chuckle:
