Bill > HB2315

This bill introduces new regulations for cannabis producers in Washington state to prevent an oversupply of cannabis by establishing revenue thresholds for different producer tiers. Specifically, "tier three producers" (10,000 to 30,000 sq ft) must demonstrate $24,000 in monthly gross sales ($288,000 annually) to renew their license; failure to do so will convert them to "tier two producers" (4,000 to 10,000 sq ft). Similarly, "tier two producers" must show $8,000 in monthly gross sales ($96,000 annually) to renew, or they will be converted to "tier one producers" (less than 4,000 sq ft). Tier one producers are exempt from these new requirements. The bill also allows for a one-year exemption from these rules under extenuating circumstances, such as natural disasters, if requested within 30 days of license renewal. Additionally, the bill makes minor amendments to existing laws regarding license fees and the process for license renewal and forfeiture, ensuring that producer license renewals are subject to these new revenue requirements.
