Workshop Overview
In this workshop, we will cover a second draft for quality assurance/quality control testing and labeling. This is our last planned workshop on the rule language, as this will complete a 2nd draft review for all sections of the rule.
The draft language and summary recommendation documents go hand-in-hand to guide our discussion about the rule draft.
Proposed draft language is blue/underlined, struck language is red, and retained language is black.
The summary recommendations document provides high-level changes, context about specific proposals, and open questions for discussion. During the meeting, we will use this document to guide the discussion and document feedback for revisions.
About this 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, including product categories
- Evaluate quality assurance testing requirements.
- 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.
Please let me know if you have questions. Thank you!
