Wash. Rev. Code § 66.28.280

Current through Chapter 376 of the 2024 Regular Session
Section 66.28.280 - Finding

The legislature recognizes that the historical total prohibition on ownership of an interest in one tier by a person with an ownership interest in another tier, as well as the historical restriction on financial incentives and business relationships between tiers, is unduly restrictive. The legislature finds the provisions of RCW 66.28.285 through 66.28.320 appropriate for all varieties of liquor, because they do not impermissibly interfere with protecting the public interest and advancing public safety by preventing the use and consumption of alcohol by minors and other abusive consumption, and promoting the efficient collection of taxes by the state.

Amended by 2012 c 2§ 124 (Initiative Measure No. 1183, approved 11/8/2011).
