After the Washington State Senate Agriculture, Water, Natural Resources, and Parks Committee had killed a bill by 14th District Representative Chris Corry to require the Department of Natural Resources to reimburse farmers and ranchers when the agency cancels their land lease before it expires, the concept has been tacked on to another bill to get it through.  Corry said a member of the committee thought the money to pay out to the farmers would come from DNR’s school trust account, when it will actually come from the general fund.  Corry says with that straightened out, the language was inserted into another bill.  Corry said that the worst case scenario would be if the current bill was not to pass this session, he has a budget proviso that earmarks money to the termination language, and he would run a bill in the 2021 session to get it through.
