The bill proposes significant increases in various license, permit, and endorsement fees related to the sale and consumption of alcohol in Washington State. Notable amendments include raising the fee for special permits issued to distilleries, wineries, and breweries from $10 to $15 per event, and increasing the fee for selling a private collection of wine or spirits from $25 to $37.50. The annual fee for a combination spirits, beer, and wine license is raised dramatically from $316 to $2,000, while the annual fee for a day spa permit is increased from $125 to $187.50. Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions for short-term rental operators to provide complimentary wine to guests, with an annual permit fee of $112.50, and establishes conditions for issuing these permits, including age verification for guests.

The bill also amends various sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) to streamline the licensing process and enhance compliance measures. It introduces a tasting room license for distilleries and craft distilleries, allowing them to operate off-site tasting rooms, with an annual fee increased from $2,000 to $2,100. Other changes include the establishment of a wine retailer reseller endorsement for specialty shops, with an annual fee of $165, and adjustments to licensing fees for beer distributors and importers. The bill aims to modernize the regulatory framework surrounding alcohol sales, ensuring responsible practices while reflecting current market conditions through increased fees and updated operational requirements.
