WSLCB - Board Meeting
(April 4, 2018) - Summary

[ Event Details ]

The Board voted to expand an interim policy on quarantine, adopted two CR-102s on forfeiture and 2017 cannabis legislation rules, and passed a CR-101 to start a rule project on 2018 cannabis legislation rules.

Here are some observations from the Wednesday April 4th Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) Board Meeting.

My top 3 takeaways:

  • The Board approved expansion of the Board Interim Policy on quarantine (BIP-2018-03 as adjusted, transcript, audio) and the supplemental CR-102 for retail license forfeiture rules (CR-102, Supplemental CR-102, transcript, audio).  Here’s the tentative timeline:
    • May 16 – end of written comment period and public hearing
  • The Board approved the CR-102 for 2017 cannabis legislation rules.  Policy and Rules Coordinator Joanna Eide briefly described each of the many proposed rule changes and additions in the Board Issue Paper (CR-102 Board Issue Paper, CR-102 Rules Documents, transcript, audio).  Here’s the tentative timeline:
    • May 30 – end of written comment period and public hearing
    • June 13 – CR-103
  • The Board approved the CR-101 for 2018 cannabis legislation rules to implement HB 2334 (CR-101, transcript, audio).  Here’s the tentative timeline:
    • May 23 – end of written comment period
    • May 30 – CR-102
    • July 11 – end of written comment period
    • July 25 – CR-103
