Corry Bill To Compensate Ranchers For DNR Lease Loss Passes Senate

A bill authored by Washington 14th District State Representative Chris Corry to provide compensation for ranchers and farmers whose land leases are terminated early by the Washington Department of Natural Resources was unanimously approved in the State Senate, and is headed to Governor Jay Inslee for his signature.  Corry spent two years working on the bill with all parties.  House Bill 1199 would provide some compensation to farmers for those losses, including infrastructure investments made on the land like fencing and other improvements.  The measure would establish a formula for leases, along with other obligations, that would support both land lessees and state interests.
