HTMLPDF 87.03.920ConstructionâChapter applicable to state registered domestic partnershipsâ2009 c 521. NOTES:
Reviser's note: The language "this act," "this chapter," and words of similar import appear throughout chapter 87.03 RCW. This chapter is almost entirely comprised of the basic irrigation act of 1889-90 p 671 et seq. as amended and as expressly added thereto by subsequent enactments. The chapter is codified in the session law order of the basic act with a few independent sections which are in pari materia being also codified herein. Many sections were added to the basic law by being expressly added to the chapter of the code or compilation in which the basic act was currently published at the time of the particular enactment. Similarly many sections have been amended by reference to the compilation number only. Some of these sections contain legislative language "this act," "this chapter," or both, which appear in the session law either as original legislative language or reenactments by the legislature of a compiler's translation. Therefore, throughout chapter 87.03 RCW such language is retained wherever it appears in the most recent session law enactment. Situations concerning effective dates of particular acts or having express restrictive application are otherwise specially noted.
Deferral of special assessments: Chapter 84.38 RCW.
Disposal of real property on abandonment of irrigation district right-of-wayâRight of adjacent owners: RCW 57.90.100.
Local governmental organizations, actions affecting boundaries, etc., review by boundary review board: Chapter 36.93 RCW.
Plats, approval of plat within irrigation districts prohibited without provision for irrigation water: RCW 58.17.310.
Special purpose districts, expenditures to recruit job candidates: RCW 42.24.170.
