The bill introduces a new section to chapter 69.50 RCW, allowing short-term rental operators to obtain an annual permit for providing complimentary prerolled cannabis products to guests aged 21 and over. Each guest may receive one gram of cannabis, and the permit fee is set at $75. The permit will cover all rental properties owned or operated by the short-term rental operator, and the application process involves submitting the prescribed form and fee to an authorized employee who will issue the permit if satisfied with the application.

Additionally, the bill amends RCW 70.123.150 to include receipts from the new permit fees in the domestic violence prevention account. This account is designated for funding culturally specific prevention efforts, age-appropriate services for children exposed to domestic violence, and outreach and education initiatives aimed at increasing public awareness of domestic and dating violence. The inclusion of these new fees aims to enhance the resources available for domestic violence prevention efforts in Washington State.
