RCW 84.34.020
Intent- 2014 c 125 : "The legislature intends to clarify and update the description of farm and agricultural land as it is used under the property tax open space program. Modern technology and water quality and labor regulations have all caused nurseries to increasingly grow plants in containers rather than in the ground. Growing plants in containers preserves topsoil, allows more plants to be grown per acre, allows soil and nutrients to be customized for each type of plant, allows more efficient use of water and fertilizer, allows year-round harvest and sales, and reduces labor cost and injuries." [2014 c 125 s 1.]
Intent- 2014 c 125 : "The amendments to RCW 84.34.020, as provided in section 2 of this act, are intended to clarify an ambiguity in an existing tax preference, and are therefore exempt from the requirements of RCW 82.32.805 and 82.32.808." [2014 c 125 s 3.]
Effective date- 2010 c 106 : See note following RCW 35.102.145.
