Concerning commercial shellfish fees.

SB 6318 sets maximum annual fees for commercial shellfish operations in Washington State, directly affecting harvesters, shippers, and processors. It establishes specific fee limits based on business type and scale, such as $416 for harvesters, $752 for large shellstock shippers, and up to $1,912 for large shucker-packers. The bill also caps biotoxin testing fees (e.g., $733 for harvesters with multiple sites) and export certificate fees at $75. These provisions amend existing shellfish fee laws to standardize and limit costs for the industry.
