This bill establishes a new section in chapter 69.30 RCW that restricts the Washington Department from increasing fees related to commercial shellfish activities. Specifically, it prohibits any fee increases for various licenses, including commercial shellfish harvest licenses, shellstock shipper licenses, shucker-packer plants licenses, export certificates, biotoxin testing, and paralytic shellfish poisoning monitoring, beyond the amounts set as of June 30, 2025.

Additionally, the bill mandates that no new licensing or use fees can be imposed on commercial shellfishers, shellstock shippers, and shucker-packer plants until June 30, 2027. This legislation aims to provide financial stability for those involved in the commercial shellfish industry by capping fees and preventing additional financial burdens for a specified period.
