This bill introduces several new regulations regarding the packaging and safety of cannabis products in Washington State. It mandates the board to adopt rules that allow cannabis-infused products in solid form to be packaged in resealable containers without individual wrapping, provided they meet child-resistant packaging standards and other labeling requirements. Additionally, the bill allows for cannabis concentrates and vapor products to be sold in larger unit sizes, while maintaining existing child-resistant packaging requirements. It also establishes new rules for cannabis plant traceability, permitting digital batch-level identification methods instead of individual physical tags, and sets forth guidelines for the acceptance of open cannabis packages and used vapor devices for recycling or safe disposal.

Furthermore, the bill requires that cannabis vapor products be sold in devices with removable batteries to facilitate recycling and safe disposal, while allowing for exceptions in certain circumstances. The board is tasked with implementing these rules within specified timeframes, and the bill clarifies that it does not create new crimes or civil penalties, but rather enforces existing regulations. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance sustainability and safety in the cannabis industry while ensuring compliance with established standards.
