Default Bill to ban "teak surfing" introduced in WA State

We don't have a full time legislature.

The legislature meets for a few weeks each spring, (usually out of
session by March or April), and the legislators earn about $30,000 per
year- (if I recall correctly). For most of the lawyers, business execs,
etc who are serving in the legislature $10,000 a month is a pretty
serious pay cut- not to mention how it their absence messes up a
professional practice or a business.

Do you feel there should not be a law against teak sufing?
