SB5074 amends Washington's agricultural product sale laws, prohibiting commission merchants from requiring consignors to relinquish control over sale.

SB5074 revises Washington's agricultural product sale laws by prohibiting commission merchants from including in contracts a requirement that consignors give up all involvement in determining the sale timing of their agricultural products. This provision does not apply to agricultural products consigned under a written pooling agreement or to turfgrass seed production and purchase contracts. The bill also allows for the use of cashier's checks, certified checks, credit cards, or bank drafts for payment, excluding hay, grain, straw, or livestock.
