Invitation: Forum on Alcohol Sales/Service in Outdoor Areas, Food Requirements HB 1480 Feedback Sought on Draft Rules
The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) is hosting an online forum to gather feedback and comments on conceptual draft rules related to outdoor alcohol service areas and food service menu requirements. To implement HB 1480 and provide greater flexibility for licensees the LCB is considering:
- Temporary changes to outdoor alcohol service area requirements for all on-premises licensees; and
- Changes to food service menu requirements, including the definitions of “complete meal” and “minimum food service,” as well as the number of required complete meals for certain license types.
Feedback gathered during the forum will help shape the rules. Please review the agenda along with the conceptual draft rules before the forum and be ready to offer feedback. Information on the “Listen and Learn” style forum is provided via this guidance document.
The LCB 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. There are no proposed or final rules at this stage of the rulemaking process. A CR-102 rule proposal has not yet been filed.
