The Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) is hosting an online or by phone Listen and Learn forum to gather feedback and comments on conceptual draft rules for the temporary alcohol to-go endorsements created by HB 1480. For example, these endorsements (available until July 1, 2023) allow certain licensees to engage in curbside, takeout, or delivery sales of:|

  • Cocktails and Wine by the Glass
  • Growlers
  • Other Alcohol Products

Your feedback during the forum will help inform and shape the rules. Here is a link to the agenda along with the conceptual draft rules. Please be prepared to offer feedback and suggestions for revisions to the draft. Please review this guidance document before the forum.

The WSLCB is currently in the CR-101 inquiry phase of the rulemaking process. A Preproposal Statement of Inquiry (CR-101) was filed on May 12, 2021. Please remember there are no proposed or final rules offered at this stage of the rulemaking process. A CR-102 rule proposal has not yet been filed.
