Establishes procedures for funding and maintaining salmon recovery projects in Washington.
The bill amends the Washington State salmon recovery funding board's responsibilities, including developing criteria for allocating funds for salmon habitat projects and salmon recovery activities. It mandates that the board prioritize projects based on limiting factors analysis, stock status information, and other criteria. The board can reject projects from habitat project lists submitted by lead entities but cannot add projects. It may provide block grants to lead entities to implement habitat projects, subject to ongoing maintenance.
