Stricter uniform rules for long park leases

The law sets uniform rules for long leases in Washington state parks. Leases and concessions cannot be longer than 80 years. Any lease, or any change to a lease, that runs more than 20 years needs at least five yes votes from the Parks Commission. The prior special rule that allowed 62-year leases at Saint Edward State Park is removed, so Saint Edward follows the same rules as other parks.
