WSLCB Action: Distillery reporting rule proposal, New rule project re: enforcing governor's proclamations

Today, during a regularly scheduled meeting, the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board took the following action:

Approved a rule proposal (CR 102) regarding distillery reporting and payment rules. The proposed rules remove all reporting and payment requirements for distilleries and craft distilleries by repealing WAC 314-28-070 and 314-28-080 and amending several other rule sections. The proposed rule changes are consistent with the Court of Appeals decision in Blue Spirits Distilling, LLC v. WSLCB, issued December 22, 2020.

Approved a preproposal statement of inquiry (CR 101) regarding summary license suspension and petition for stay provisions to enforce governor's proclamations. This new rule project will consider creating permanent rules to replace emergency rules WAC 314-12-250 and 314-12-275 filed as WSR 21-07-077 on March 17, 2021, and future emergency rules. This rule applies to all licensees.
