Subject of Possible Rule Making: Conduct on a liquor licensed premises, specifically the prohibition on consuming marijuana and/or marijuana products in a liquor licensed premises.

     Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 66.08.030.

     Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: There are public safety concerns related to mixing alcohol and marijuana. I-502 also prohibits consumption of marijuana in public view. This needs to be clarified for licensees so they do not allow their patrons to consume marijuana at their liquor licensed establishments.

     Process for Developing New Rule: Interested parties can participate in the discussions formulating this rule change by contacting or sending written comments to the agency staff listed below.

     Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Karen McCall, Agency Rules Coordinator, P.O. Box 43080, Olympia, WA 98504-3080, (360) 664-1631, fax (360) 664-9689.
