Bill > SB6328

This bill modifies Washington state's cannabis excise tax by changing how the tax is calculated and collected, moving from a percentage of the selling price to specific rates based on the type and quantity of cannabis product sold, such as per gram for usable cannabis and prerolls, per milligram of THC for concentrates and edibles, and also introduces new definitions for various cannabis product types like "cannabis edibles in liquid form," "cannabis edibles in solid form," "cannabis flower," and "prerolls" to clarify tax application. Additionally, the bill adjusts licensing fees for cannabis producers, processors, and retailers, and includes provisions for license forfeiture if a retail business is not operational within a specified timeframe, with some exceptions for circumstances beyond the licensee's control. The changes to the tax structure are set to take effect on June 30, 2027, with the initial changes to definitions and fees becoming effective earlier.
