§ 88.02.270. Derelict vessel removal surcharge
(1) In order to address the significant backlog of derelict vessels that have accumulated in our state's waters that pose a threat to the health and safety of the people and to our environment, the legislature intends to collect a derelict vessel removal surcharge.
(2) In addition to the fees collected under RCW 88.02.050, the department shall collect an annual derelict vessel removal surcharge of one dollar effective with vessel registrations that are due or will become due on or after January 1, 2008. The revenue generated from the derelict vessel surcharge must be deposited into the derelict vessel removal account established under RCW 79.100.100, and is to be used only for the removal of vessels that are less than seventy-five feet in length.
(3) This section expires January 1, 2014.
