Waters Bill To Improve Illegal Cannabis Monitoring Approved In House

Legislation by Washington 17th District Rep. Kevin Waters that would improve detection and prevention of the illegal inversion and diversion of cannabis in and out of Washington is headed to the Senate after receiving unanimous approval from the House.  House Bill 2255 would require the Liquor and Cannabis Board to regularly audit the data in the Cannabis Central Reporting System, with a goal of identifying and preventing illegal inversion and diversion of cannabis and cannabis products into and out of Washington’s regulated cannabis system.  Waters says currently enforcement is being driven by licensees submitting complaints against each other, and enforcement officers spending too much time on minor infractions.  The Stevenson Republican believes this bill would help steer officers to the larger, more serious offenses.  If House Bill 2255 were to become law, the LCB could use the data the agency collects to help direct and prioritize enforcement.
