Bill > SB5371

This bill eliminates the previous per-transaction volume limit for wine and spirit sales in Washington state. Specifically, the bill removes language that previously restricted single sales of wine or spirits to no more than 24 liters for various types of liquor licenses, including combination spirits, beer, and wine licenses, wine retailer reseller endorsements, grocery store licenses, and spirits retail licenses. The changes apply to sales between licensed retailers and to various types of licensed establishments, such as those selling spirits for on-premises or off-premises consumption. The bill makes technical updates to remove the volume restriction language across multiple sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) related to liquor licensing. The modifications appear to simplify administrative processes and provide more flexibility for licensed retailers in their wholesale and retail alcohol transactions. Other minor technical updates include standardizing numeric representations (changing written numbers like "twenty-one" to "21") and updating fees and license-related language.
