A bill that would require huckleberry buyers to retain purchase records for at least one year, and make those records available to law enforcement officers upon request, unanimously passed the Washington House of Representatives.  Goldendale Representative Gina Mosbrucker had introduced the bill, which she says was brought to her by Klickitat County Range Deputy Harold Cole, who expressed concerns about groups of people coming onto public property where huckleberry plants are growing, raking the berries from the plants, and in some cases, taking the entire bush and destroying the landscape, which is illegal.  Existing law requires people who harvest and sell raw or unprocessed huckleberries to obtain a specialized forest product permit from the county sheriff’s office, or from the U.S. Forest Service if the harvest is on Forest Service land.  Buyers of wild huckleberries are required to collect and record certain information, including the seller’s name, the product amount, the delivery date, and whether the product came with an invoice.  The measure now goes to the Senate for further consideration.
