Washington SB6104 aims to protect and promote agriculture by requiring agricultural impact statements and mitigation measures for land use changes.

Washington SB6104 mandates that counties and cities complete agricultural impact statements before changing land designations from agricultural to other uses. If such changes result in the loss of agricultural land, mitigation measures must be implemented, such as conserving adjacent farmland or using farmland in other areas. The bill also requires state agencies to consider the viability of agricultural activities in their decision-making processes.
