Court Upholds Climate Fuel Rules

The Washington Supreme Court sides with the state’s Department of Ecology, upholding its climate fuel tax exemption rules — even as farmers and truckers complain about confusing systems and costly surcharges. The court ruled the agency acted lawfully, noting the legislature set the rules, not the agency. While the legal fight is over, lawmakers are pushing forward with practical fixes: a $30 million rebate fund (mostly unused) and a new online map to help users find fuel stations that don’t charge extra — aiming to ease the burden without rewriting the law.
