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
- August 25 – effective date
