The bill proposes significant increases in various licensing fees related to the sale and consumption of alcohol in Washington State. Key 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 a new fee structure for wine retailer reseller endorsements, increasing the cost from $166 to $249, and specifies that licensees must maintain a minimum inventory of food products.

Further amendments focus on streamlining the regulatory framework for alcohol permits and enhancing compliance measures. The bill clarifies conditions under which permits can be issued, such as requiring advance applications and conspicuous posting of permits at event locations. It also introduces a responsible vendor program that allows licensees to avoid doubled penalties for a single violation if they meet program requirements. Other provisions include adjustments to licensing fees for various types of licenses, such as increasing the annual fee for a caterer's endorsement from $350 to $525 and for a beer distributor license from $660 to $990. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the licensing process while ensuring responsible alcohol sales and consumption practices.
