LCB rules team reports 12 active rulemaking projects, timelines into spring

Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board · December 3, 2025

Summary

LCB rules staff said they are handling 12 active rulemaking projects, expect a mix of stakeholder sessions in January, and foresee final rules rolling in by late spring or summer after economic analyses where required.

Kevin, the agency's Policy and Rules Manager, gave a broad update on the rules team and timelines. He said the team currently has 12 open rulemaking projects across industries and that many items will move through stakeholder sessions and draft releases over the coming months.

He outlined expected sequencing: revised drafts to be shared by year-end for some items, new stakeholder sessions in January for others, and cost-benefit and economic analyses where stakeholder concerns demand it. Kevin said economic analysis activities (including industry surveys) will likely take about three months, pushing some final adoptions to late spring or early summer.
