Summary –
The bill would exempt local property tax increases for conservation futures from RCW 84.55.010’s limits on local levies.  (That limits a local levy to the amount of the largest property tax in a district during the most recent three years, adjusted for various factors like increased assessed values, times one of several limit factors which depend on the district but are often 1%.)
