The bill amends RCW 43.21B.110 to expand the jurisdiction of the pollution control hearings board to include appeals related to civil enforcement decisions made by the Department of Natural Resources under RCW 76.04.205. This addition allows for greater oversight and accountability regarding the department's enforcement actions, ensuring that affected parties have a clear avenue for appeal. The bill also reenacts and amends existing provisions of the law, maintaining the structure of the hearings board's jurisdiction while incorporating the new insertion.

In addition to the new insertion, the bill specifies that certain hearings will not be conducted by the hearings board, including those required by the shorelines hearings board and specific hearings conducted by the department under various RCWs. This delineation helps clarify the scope of the hearings board's authority and ensures that appeals are directed to the appropriate bodies. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the regulatory framework surrounding environmental enforcement decisions in Washington State.
