Rulemaking Project
WSLCB Enforcement Logo

The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) is considering amending WAC 314-55-035 and amending, repealing or creating new sections of Title 314 WAC as necessary to identify the conditions under which Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP) may be permitted to have partial or complete ownership of cannabis licensees while complying with existing Washington statutes and regulations on true parties of interest and other laws relating to cannabis licenses. The rulemaking may extend to the permitted use of ESOP in liquor licenses.
