Observations

The WSLCB request legislation was being delivered to the Governor as legislators prepared for more floor activity, including the overnight publication of two amendments on cannabis-related bills of interest.

The cannabis “agricultural worker” bill was quickly advanced to the Senate floor calendar by democratic leaders and the newly introduced THC excise tax bill gained a co-sponsor.

Production union legislation was advanced before the Tuesday cutoff and a new bill aimed to further increase costs for concentrates containing more than 35% THC in the most regressively taxed regulated market.

A WSLCB gubernatorial appointment confirmation was advanced Monday and senators were prepared to advance legislation granting collective bargaining rights to plant-touching workers ahead of the next cutoff.
