New Bill on WUI Code HB 1254 

A bill has been introduced that would more or less undo SB 6120 from last year, and lead to a more typical situation where SBCC could adopt the WUI with State amendments for all of WA.  Currently with SB 6120, only RCW 19.27.560 applies statewide, however local jurisdictions can adopt the full international WUI code if they want.  Please let WSAFM know if you have comments.
