ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON <br />Amy Cziske <br />April6,2023 <br />Page2 <br />assessments),97 (holding that the County lacked express authority authorizing special <br />assessments against WSDOT.) The County did not appeal this holding, and the Legislature did <br />not overturn it as to assessments from before the effective date of SHB 1355. <br />Again, while WSDOT is committed to carrying out its statutory duties under SHB 1355, these <br />duties do not include paying weed assessments that predated that bill and that have been <br />invalidated by the courts. WSDOT cannot pay the weed assessments for the years of 2017 <br />through 2021, and we respectfully request that you remove them from the assessment rolls. <br />Thank you and let me know if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />/s/ Albert H. Wang <br />ALBERT H. WANG <br />Assistant Attorney General <br />(360) s86-34s7 <br />AHw/NC <br />cc: Yvette L.
