The bill amends RCW 8.26.035 to increase the reimbursement cap for moving and relocation expenses for individuals affected by agency displacements. Specifically, it raises the maximum allowable reimbursement for expenses necessary to reestablish a displaced farm, nonprofit organization, or small business at a new site from fifty thousand dollars to $200,000. This change aims to provide greater financial support to those displaced by agency projects, ensuring that they can adequately cover the costs associated with relocation.

In addition to the increased cap, the bill maintains provisions for various types of reimbursements, including actual reasonable moving expenses, direct losses of tangible personal property, and expenses related to searching for replacement businesses or farms. It also outlines options for displaced individuals to choose between different payment methods based on their circumstances, ensuring flexibility and support tailored to their needs.
