You’re Invited: Feedback Sessions on the Transfer of Authority for accreditation of cannabis testing laboratories (implementing 2SHB 2151).

The LCB is holding two online public meetings to get feedback on draft rules to implement 2SHB 2151 (Chapter 69, Laws of 2024) which transfers authority for accreditation of cannabis testing laboratories from LCB to the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA).
