This bill proposes to repeal municipal authority regarding extraterritorial jurisdiction as provided since the 1940s for developments in counties; the bill, in essence, removes approval authority by cities and towns.

WAM ACTION: 2/20/18

WAM testified in opposition stating members were concerned this would eliminate a municipality's ability to properly grow development.  The county supports since it removes all authority of municipalities in the county 1/2 mile zone.  HB0013 and HB0014 are conflicting so discussion on the floor will have to determine which bill to move forward.   

WAM ACTION: 3/2/18 

Following collaboration with WCCA, a substitute bill for HB0014 was forwarded to be considered in COW.  During Senate Corporations meeting, Senator Scott moved to move HB0013 along as a back-up in case the amended HB0014 was not considered.  This is an odd move since both are very much in conflict of each other.  WAM will watch as both are voted on in the Senate.  WAM opposes HB0013 but can support the amended and substitute HB0014.  

HB0013 was not advanced in the Senate as the conflicting HB0014, as amended, was passed.
