UPDATE: The 10 year analysis for SB 5867, titled AN ACT Relating to banquet provisions for charitable or nonprofit organizations, has been completed. 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:

Liquor and Cannabis Board:

Section 2 (NEW SECTION in RCW 66.28):  There is a special permit to be designated as a banquet permit to be issued to a not-for-profit society or charitable organization, which has annual gross income of less than $250,000, to provide free of charge, spirits, beer, and wine by the individual serving for on-premises consumption at a specified date and place.  The banquet permit is available for an unlimited number of the organization's business or social events that are held solely for the organization's members and guests. The events may not be open to the general public.  

The fee for the banquet permit is $10 per day.

The agency anticipates a shift between existing banquet permit applications and the new non-profit banquet permits.

In 2022 the agency issued 32,206 banquet permits, and in 2023 it issued 49,183.

No cash receipt impact anticipated but possible.

Ten-year projection prepared in consultation with the following agencies:

Liquor and Cannabis Board
