AI Summary

This bill allows licensed cannabis producers in Washington State to form agricultural cooperatives, similar to how other farmers can collaborate to process, market, and handle their products. It amends existing law (RCW 69.50.325) to explicitly permit licensed cannabis producers to form associations or cooperatives, with a limit of three producer licenses per cooperative. Additionally, it amends another law (RCW 24.34.010) to recognize cannabis as an agricultural product for the purposes of these cooperative formations, ensuring that these cannabis cooperatives operate for the mutual benefit of their members and adhere to specific rules regarding voting and dividend distribution, mirroring regulations for other agricultural cooperatives.
