WA SB5171

Establishes a process for determining "indirect damage claims" for wolf predation, comparing current year livestock losses to the average annual losses during the claimant's first confirmed wolf depredation and the two preceding years

Defines "indirect damage claims" as livestock losses, reduced weight gains, or reduced pregnancy rates caused by wolf harassment of livestock

Requires a minimum economic loss of $500 before commercial crop or livestock owners can qualify for compensation

Amends RCW 77.36.100 to allow the Department of Fish and Wildlife to compensate livestock owners for indirect damages from wolf interactions, not just direct kills or injuries
