LCB Action: Rulemaking Started on Two Cannabis-Related Projects
On June 25, 2025, the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) took the following actions:
Expanding Cannabis Metals Testing Requirements
LCB filed a Preproposal Statement of Inquiry (CR-101) to consider amending chapter 314-55 WAC, including WAC 314-55-102, to respond to a petition for rulemaking accepted by the Board in 2024. This petition requests testing requirements for heavy metals to be expanded to include all cannabis sold in licensed retail stores in Washington. Currently only Department of Health (DOH) medically compliant products are required to be tested for heavy metals per WAC 246-70-050.
Cannabis Transportation Licenses
LCB has filed a Preproposal Statement of Inquiry (CR-101) to consider amending chapter 314-55 WAC, including WAC 314-55-310, to respond to a petition for rulemaking accepted by the Board in 2024. This petition requests allowing cannabis transportation licensees to temporarily store products at distribution fulfillment hubs.
