     Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The legislature in 2SSB 6823 (2006 session) gave both in-state and out-of-state wineries and breweries to sell their own production to licensed beer and wine retailers in Washington. Rules must be changed to be consistent with these new provisions.
