The bill amends RCW 66.24.350 to establish a snack bar liquor license that allows the sale of beer and wine for on-premises consumption. The new legal language specifies that the license permits the sale of wine by the glass in addition to beer, and it clarifies that the sale of these beverages should not be the principal business of the establishment. The annual fee for this license is set at $125.

Additionally, the bill removes previous provisions that waived the annual fee for certain licensees during a specified 12-month period following February 28, 2021. This includes the elimination of criteria for eligibility based on prior licensing and health and safety violations related to COVID-19 guidelines. The changes streamline the licensing process and establish a consistent fee structure for snack bar licenses.
