Section 352-75-010. Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to set forth the parameters for the distribution and uses of moneys administered by the parks and recreation commission. A portion of the income is derived from the watercraft excise tax pursuant to RCW 82.49.030(3). These moneys shall provide financial assistance to applicants throughout the state of Washington for the construction of sewage pumpout or sewage dump station facilities which will aid the achievement of clean waterways throughout the state of Washington.

This chapter and chapter 88.36 RCW set forth the following:

(1) The limitations on the allocation and uses of the funds;

(2) The criteria to be considered for determining who will be eligible to receive funds;

(3) The process to be followed for awarding the funds; and

(4) Other related issues.
