HB 2099: Distillery licensing & fees

Streamlining distillery licensing and fees.

Summary

  • Eliminates the statutory distinctions between distilleries and craft distilleries by creating a revised regulatory and licensing scheme that treats all distilleries identically, regardless of annual production rates or use of raw materials produced in Washington in the spirits production process.
  • Exempts all distillers that are licensed to engage in the retail sale of spirits for off-premises consumption from the 17 percent spirits retail fee.
  • Establishes a uniform annual licensing fee for all distillers in the amount of $110.
