The Board denied two petitions for rulemaking on residency requirements and extraction inspection.

- The Board was similarly accepting of Schaufler’s argument that the WSLCB should respect local authority by maintaining its own rules which require local authorities to inspect cannabis extraction equipment (audio - 5m).
