Protecting agriculture.
SB 6104 requires Washington state agencies (like DNR, Ecology, and Fish & Wildlife) to assess how their decisions affect agriculture before acting. It mandates "agricultural impact statements" for significant regulatory changes, evaluating economic effects, unavoidable harms, alternatives, and mitigation for farm land loss. The bill directly affects farmers, ranchers, and landowners by ensuring their economic viability is considered alongside environmental and regulatory goals. It also creates a fiscal review process to analyze regulatory cost impacts on agricultural entities before new laws or rules take effect.
