APPLY FOR YOUR CCA REIMBURSEMENT BEFORE FUNDS RUN OUT!!!
The Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) began processing Climate Commitment Act (CCA) reimbursement applications. Reimbursements will only occur while funds are available and if CCA remains viable. During the first few days of the portal being opened, over 377 applications were received.
The Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) is overseeing the Agriculture Support Program (ASP) to partially reimburse producers and transporters of agricultural products who paid the additional Climate Commitment Act (CCA) Cap and Invest program fees or surcharges on fuel utilized for exempt purposes between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023. Applications for the payments opened the week of August 26, 2024, so don’t delay in applying as funds are only available until they run out and will be revoked if the CCA is repealed this November.
In the 2024 Washington State Supplemental Budget, ESSB 5950, passed during the 2023-24 legislative session, it was specified that $28,500,000.00 in CCA funds were to be awarded to the state to provide reimbursement to eligible transporters of agricultural products through the DOL. Agricultural fuel users will be able to apply for payments between $600.00 to $4,500.00 based on the reported gallons of fuel reported for use to produce or transport agricultural products.
