THC Bill (E2SSB 5367) Rulemaking Survey

On June 21, 2023, the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) filed a CR-101 Preproposal Statement of Inquiry, filed as WSR 23-13-129, initiating the collaborative rulemaking process to implement Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill (E2SSB) 5367 (chapter 365, Laws of 2023), concerning the regulation of products containing THC.

Collaborative rulemaking discussions were held in Dec. 2023 to review and discuss regulatory policy options being considered in rules adopted to implement the legislation. The online survey covers information discussed during the stakeholder sessions, providing an opportunity for those unable to attend or contribute to the engagement sessions, to comment.
