AI Summary

This bill clarifies the authority of the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (the Board) to regulate marijuana vapor products. It amends existing law to explicitly authorize the Board to prohibit the use of any additive, solvent, ingredient, or compound in marijuana vapor product production and processing, as well as prohibit any device used in conjunction with a marijuana vapor product, if the Board determines such items may pose a risk to public health or youth access. The bill also requires marijuana processors to submit a list of all constituent substances in each marijuana vapor product. Additionally, the bill allows marijuana processors to use certain botanical terpenes in marijuana vapor products, unless the Board determines a specific terpene characterizing flavor may pose a risk. This bill is declared an emergency, and takes effect immediately.
