About the Rulemaking
On November 2, 2022, The Washington Department of Health (department) filed a CR-101 Preproposal Statement of Inquiry to consider rulemaking to:
- Align quality assurance and control standards with recent WA State Liquor and Cannabis Board rule changes.
- Consider updated terminology and requirements for products compliant for medical use.
- Consider changes to compliant product labeling and logos.
- Address statutory sales and use tax exemptions for recognition cardholders.
- Replace the term "marijuana" with "cannabis" in accordance with Second Substitute House Bill 1210 passed in 2022
Approach for the First Workshop & Next Steps
About 2 weeks prior to the workshop, we will share a document with more detailed information about topics under consideration along with input we have received since filing the CR-101. You will have an opportunity to share input in writing as well as attending the workshop.
We will also ask attendees about preferred approaches for subsequent workshops as we begin to develop draft rule language for each topic of the rulemaking.
Stay tuned for a follow-up e-mail with more information and please let me know if you have questions in the meantime.
