E2SHB 1401, titled AN ACT Relating to hemp production, has been passed by the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Water, Natural Resources & Parks. The Office of Financial Management has identified this bill as requiring a ten-year projection of increased cost to the taxpayers or affected fee payers.

Ten-year projection:


2SHB 1401 requires the WSDA to establish license fees in rule for an amount that will fund the implementation of the program and sustain the hemp program. The cash receipt impact is indeterminate at this time because the agency does not know the number of grower licenses that will be issued and fees will be determined during rulemaking. All cash receipts would be deposited into the newly created Hemp Regulatory Account.

 
 
The Department of Health does not collect any fees or revenue; therefore, no fiscal impact.
 
No cash receipt impact. The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board does not have any fee collecting duties resulting from this bill.
