SB5650

Summary

A Washington State bill that would authorize local governments to impose an excise tax on cannabis was scheduled for executive session in the Senate Committee on Ways and Means but no action was taken. Authorization of a local excise tax on cannabis would allow municipalities to add tax obligations on top of existing state taxes, increasing the cost of doing business for cannabis retailers in participating jurisdictions.
