HB 1923 doesn't exempt actions from the SEPA process, it only disallows appeals on the process. In theory a city could do a SEPA checklist and issue an DNS and be done, even if it was a massive action that normally would have required an EIS. Who knows how that would play out?

Aha, interesting. Do you think it would be possible to change allowable uses to quads and shut the door on appeals?

HB 1923 states that the optional actions defined in the law "are not subject to administrative or judicial appeal under chapter 43.21C RCW." Doesn't that mean it would never go to a hearing examiner anyway? lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2019-
