The bill introduces a new section to chapter 43.06 RCW, allowing the governor of Washington to enter into agreements with other states for the cross-jurisdictional coordination and enforcement of cannabis-related businesses. This includes provisions for the interstate delivery of cannabis, ensuring that public health and safety standards are met, and that cannabis is tested, packaged, and labeled according to existing regulations. The bill also stipulates that applicable taxes on cannabis transactions must be collected, and it emphasizes the need for equity in the application of these agreements, particularly in addressing past inequities from cannabis prohibition.

The act will take effect only if federal law is amended to permit interstate cannabis transfers or if the U.S. Department of Justice issues a memorandum allowing such transfers. Upon the occurrence of either condition, the state liquor and cannabis board is tasked with notifying relevant parties about the effective date and necessary statutory changes to facilitate the sale, delivery, and receipt of cannabis in accordance with the agreements established under this bill. Additionally, the board is required to adopt rules to implement these provisions effectively.
