HOUSE BILL 1701
State of Washington 69th Legislature 2025 Regular Session
By Representative Steele
Read first time 01/29/25. Referred to Committee on Consumer
Protection & Business.
p. 1 HB 1701
federal bureau of investigation in order that these agencies may 1
search their records for prior arrests and convictions of the 2
individual or individuals who filled out the forms. The board must 3
require fingerprinting of any applicant whose criminal history record 4
information check is submitted to the federal bureau of 5
investigation. The provisions of RCW 9.95.240 and of chapter 9.96A 6
RCW do not apply to such cases. Subject to the provisions of this 7
section, the board may, in its discretion, grant or deny the renewal 8
or license applied for. Denial may be based on, without limitation, 9
the existence of chronic illegal activity documented in objections 10
submitted pursuant to subsections (8)(d) and (12) of this section. 11
Authority to approve an uncontested or unopposed license may be 12
granted by the board to any staff member the board designates in 13
writing. Conditions for granting such authority must be adopted by 14
rule. No retail license of any kind may be issued to:15
(a) A person doing business as a sole proprietor who has not 16
resided in the state for at least one month prior to receiving a 17
license, except in cases of licenses issued to dining places on 18
railroads, boats, or aircraft; 19
(b) A copartnership, unless all of the members thereof are 20
qualified to obtain a license, as provided in this section;21
(c) A person whose place of business is conducted by a manager or 22
agent, unless such manager or agent possesses the same qualifications 23
required of the licensee; 24
(d) A corporation or a limited liability company, unless it was 25
created under the laws of the state of Washington or holds a 26
certificate of authority to transact business in the state of 27
Washington. 28
(3)(a) The board may, in its discretion, subject to the 29
provisions of RCW 66.08.150, suspend or cancel any license; and all 30
rights of the licensee to keep or sell liquor thereunder must be 31
suspended or terminated, as the case may be. 32
(b) The board must immediately suspend the license or certificate 33
of a person who has been certified pursuant to RCW 74.20A.320 by the 34
department of social and health services as a person who is not in 35
compliance with a support order. If the person has continued to meet 36
all other requirements for reinstatement during the suspension, 37
reissuance of the license or certificate is automatic upon the 38
board's receipt of a release issued by the department of social and 39
p. 2 HB 1701
health services stating that the licensee is in compliance with the 1
order. 2
(c) Upon written notification by the department of revenue in 3
accordance with RCW 82.08.155 that a person is more than thirty days 4
delinquent in reporting or remitting spirits taxes to the department, 5
the board must suspend all spirits licenses held by that person. The 6
board must also refuse to renew any existing spirits license of, or 7
issue any new spirits license to, the person or any other applicant 8
controlled directly or indirectly by that person. The board may not 9
reinstate a person's spirits license or renew or issue a new spirits 10
license to that person, or an applicant controlled directly or 11
indirectly by that person, until such time as the department of 12
revenue notifies the board that the person is current in reporting 13
and remitting spirits taxes or that the department consents to the 14
reinstatement or renewal of the person's spirits license or the 15
issuance of a new spirits license to the person. For purposes of this 16
section: (i) "Spirits license" means any license issued by the board 17
under the authority of this chapter that authorizes the licensee to 18
sell spirits; and (ii) "spirits taxes" has the same meaning as in RCW 19
82.08.155. 20
(d) The board may request the appointment of administrative law 21
judges under chapter 34.12 RCW who must have power to administer 22
oaths, issue subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses and the 23
production of papers, books, accounts, documents, and testimony, 24
examine witnesses, and to receive testimony in any inquiry, 25
investigation, hearing, or proceeding in any part of the state, under 26
such rules and regulations as the board may adopt.27
(e) Witnesses are allowed fees and mileage each way to and from 28
any such inquiry, investigation, hearing, or proceeding at the rate 29
authorized by RCW 34.05.446. Fees need not be paid in advance of 30
appearance of witnesses to testify or to produce books, records, or 31
other legal evidence. 32
(f) In case of disobedience of any person to comply with the 33
order of the board or a subpoena issued by the board, or any of its 34
members, or administrative law judges, or on the refusal of a witness 35
to testify to any matter regarding which he or she may be lawfully 36
interrogated, the judge of the superior court of the county in which 37
the person resides, on application of any member of the board or 38
administrative law judge, must compel obedience by contempt 39
p. 3 HB 1701
proceedings, as in the case of disobedience of the requirements of a 1
subpoena issued from said court or a refusal to testify therein.2
(4) Upon receipt of notice of the suspension or cancellation of a 3
license, the licensee must forthwith deliver up the license to the 4
board. Where the license has been suspended only, the board must 5
return the license to the licensee at the expiration or termination 6
of the period of suspension. The board must notify all vendors in the 7
city or place where the licensee has its premises of the suspension 8
or cancellation of the license; and no employee may allow or cause 9
any liquor to be delivered to or for any person at the premises of 10
that licensee. 11
(5)(a) For the original issuance of a liquor license, including 12
the approval of a conditional license as provided in (b) of this 13
subsection, the board must set the expiration date of the license to 14
the last day of the calendar month that is twelve months from the 15
calendar month in which final approval of the license is granted. 16
Upon renewal, the expiration date of the license, including licenses 17
approved under (b) of this subsection, may subsequently be prorated 18
as necessary in accordance with chapter 19.02 RCW.19
(b)(i) When an applicant for a liquor license is qualified for 20
approval of the license in every way except having executed a lease 21
or purchase agreement for the proposed licensed premises, the board 22
must grant conditional approval to the applicant. 23
(ii) Upon notification to the board of execution of the lease or 24
purchase agreement putting the applicant in control of the premises, 25
the board must immediately grant final approval of the license 26
issuance, and the licensee may immediately begin exercising all 27
privileges provided under the license, except as otherwise provided 28
under this title. 29
(iii) For the purposes of this title, the term "license" includes 30
"conditional license." 31
(6) Every license issued under this section is subject to all 32
conditions and restrictions imposed by this title or by rules adopted 33
by the board. All conditions and restrictions imposed by the board in 34
the issuance of an individual license may be listed on the face of 35
the individual license along with the trade name, address, and 36
expiration date. Conditions and restrictions imposed by the board may 37
also be included in official correspondence separate from the 38
license. All spirits licenses are subject to the condition that the 39
p. 4 HB 1701
spirits license holder must report and remit to the department of 1
revenue all spirits taxes by the date due. 2
(7) Every licensee must post and keep posted its license, or 3
licenses, and any additional correspondence containing conditions and 4
restrictions imposed by the board in a conspicuous place on the 5
premises. 6
(8)(a) Unless (b) of this subsection applies, before the board 7
issues a new or renewal license to an applicant it must give notice 8
of such application to the chief executive officer of the 9
incorporated city or town, if the application is for a license within 10
an incorporated city or town, or to the county legislative authority, 11
if the application is for a license outside the boundaries of 12
incorporated cities or towns. 13
(b) If the application for a special occasion license is for an 14
event held during a county, district, or area fair as defined by RCW 15
15.76.120, and the county, district, or area fair is located on 16
property owned by the county but located within an incorporated city 17
or town, the county legislative authority must be the entity notified 18
by the board under (a) of this subsection. The board must send a 19
duplicate notice to the incorporated city or town within which the 20
fair is located. 21
(c) The incorporated city or town through the official or 22
employee selected by it, or the county legislative authority or the 23
official or employee selected by it, has the right to file with the 24
board within twenty days after the date of transmittal of such notice 25
for applications, or at least thirty days prior to the expiration 26
date for renewals, written objections against the applicant or 27
against the premises for which the new or renewal license is asked. 28
The board may extend the time period for submitting written 29
objections. 30
(d) The written objections must include a statement of all facts 31
upon which such objections are based, and in case written objections 32
are filed, the city or town or county legislative authority may 33
request and the board may in its discretion hold a hearing subject to 34
the applicable provisions of Title 34 RCW. If the board makes an 35
initial decision to deny a license or renewal based on the written 36
objections of an incorporated city or town or county legislative 37
authority, the applicant may request a hearing subject to the 38
applicable provisions of Title 34 RCW. If such a hearing is held at 39
p. 5 HB 1701
the request of the applicant, board representatives must present and 1
defend the board's initial decision to deny a license or renewal.2
(e) Upon the granting of a license under this title the board 3
must send written notification to the chief executive officer of the 4
incorporated city or town in which the license is granted, or to the 5
county legislative authority if the license is granted outside the 6
boundaries of incorporated cities or towns. When the license is for a 7
special occasion license for an event held during a county, district, 8
or area fair as defined by RCW 15.76.120, and the county, district, 9
or area fair is located on county-owned property but located within 10
an incorporated city or town, the written notification must be sent 11
to both the incorporated city or town and the county legislative 12
authority. 13
(9)(a) Before the board issues any license to any applicant, it 14
shall give (i) due consideration to the location of the business to 15
be conducted under such license with respect to the proximity of 16
churches, schools, and public institutions and (ii) written notice, 17
with receipt verification, of the application to public institutions 18
identified by the board as appropriate to receive such notice, 19
churches, and schools within five hundred feet of the premises to be 20
licensed. The board may not issue a liquor license for either on-21
premises or off-premises consumption covering any premises not now 22
licensed, if such premises are within five hundred feet of the 23
premises of any tax-supported public elementary or secondary school 24
measured along the most direct route over or across established 25
public walks, streets, or other public passageway from the main 26
entrance of the school to the nearest public entrance of the premises 27
proposed for license, and if, after receipt by the school of the 28
notice as provided in this subsection, the board receives written 29
objection, within twenty days after receiving such notice, from an 30
official representative or representatives of the school within five 31
hundred feet of said proposed licensed premises, indicating to the 32
board that there is an objection to the issuance of such license 33
because of proximity to a school. The board may extend the time 34
period for submitting objections. For the purpose of this section, 35
"church" means a building erected for and used exclusively for 36
religious worship and schooling or other activity in connection 37
therewith. For the purpose of this section, "public institution" 38
means institutions of higher education, parks, community centers, 39
libraries, and transit centers. 40
p. 6 HB 1701
(b) No liquor license may be issued or reissued by the board to 1
any motor sports facility or licensee operating within the motor 2
sports facility unless the motor sports facility enforces a program 3
reasonably calculated to prevent alcohol or alcoholic beverages not 4
purchased within the facility from entering the facility and such 5
program is approved by local law enforcement agencies.6
(c) It is the intent under this subsection (9) that a retail 7
license may not be issued by the board where doing so would, in the 8
judgment of the board, adversely affect a private school meeting the 9
requirements for private schools under Title 28A RCW, which school is 10
within five hundred feet of the proposed licensee. The board must 11
fully consider and give substantial weight to objections filed by 12
private schools. If a license is issued despite the proximity of a 13
private school, the board must state in a letter addressed to the 14
private school the board's reasons for issuing the license.15
(10) The restrictions set forth in subsection (9) of this section 16
do not prohibit the board from authorizing the assumption of existing 17
licenses now located within the restricted area by other persons or 18
licenses or relocations of existing licensed premises within the 19
restricted area. In no case may the licensed premises be moved closer 20
to a church or school than it was before the assumption or 21
relocation. 22
(11)(a) Nothing in this section prohibits the board, in its 23
discretion, from issuing a temporary retail or distributor license to 24
an applicant to operate the retail or distributor premises during the 25
period the application for the license is pending. The board may 26
establish a fee for a temporary license by rule. 27
(b) A temporary license issued by the board under this section 28
must be for a period not to exceed sixty days. A temporary license 29
may be extended at the discretion of the board for additional periods 30
of sixty days upon payment of an additional fee and upon compliance 31
with all conditions required in this section. 32
(c) Refusal by the board to issue or extend a temporary license 33
shall not entitle the applicant to request a hearing. A temporary 34
license may be canceled or suspended summarily at any time if the 35
board determines that good cause for cancellation or suspension 36
exists. RCW 66.08.130 applies to temporary licenses.37
(d) Application for a temporary license must be on such form as 38
the board shall prescribe. If an application for a temporary license 39
p. 7 HB 1701
is withdrawn before issuance or is refused by the board, the fee 1
which accompanied such application must be refunded in full.2
(12) In determining whether to grant or deny a license or renewal 3
of any license, the board must give substantial weight to objections 4
from an incorporated city or town or county legislative authority 5
based upon chronic illegal activity associated with the applicant's 6
operations of the premises proposed to be licensed or the applicant's 7
operation of any other licensed premises, or the conduct of the 8
applicant's patrons inside or outside the licensed premises. "Chronic 9
illegal activity" means (a) a pervasive pattern of activity that 10
threatens the public health, safety, and welfare of the city, town, 11
or county including, but not limited to, open container violations, 12
assaults, disturbances, disorderly conduct, or other criminal law 13
violations, or as documented in crime statistics, police reports, 14
emergency medical response data, calls for service, field data, or 15
similar records of a law enforcement agency for the city, town, 16
county, or any other municipal corporation or any state agency; or 17
(b) an unreasonably high number of citations for violations of RCW 18
46.61.502 associated with the applicant's or licensee's operation of 19
any licensed premises as indicated by the reported statements given 20
to law enforcement upon arrest. 21
(13)(a) Nothing in this title prohibits an applicant for a liquor 22
license from becoming licensed to operate out of a premises located 23
on the property of a facility that includes the separate premises of 24
other liquor licensees.25
(b) The owner of a facility described in this subsection may be, 26
but is not required to be, one of the licensees operating out of a 27
premises at the facility. Nothing in this title prohibits a licensee 28
who owns real property, or real and personal property, from leasing 29
such property to another licensee or licensees identified in this 30
subsection and multiple licensees operating their own premises at the 31
facility. The board shall not consider the existence of such an 32
arrangement alone to impact the licensee's ownership and control of 33
their premises or otherwise prevent licensure.34
(c) The board may require submission of any lease agreement, 35
operating agreement, and other contract in existence between 36
licensees and the owner of the facility, and between the different 37
licensees at the facility, to ensure each licensee retains ownership 38
and control over their licensed premises on the facility property.39
p. 8 HB 1701
(d) Each licensee must operate out of their own premises on the 1
facility property, except as authorized under RCW 66.24.1472 or 2
66.24.710(7).3
(e) Nothing in this subsection:4
(i) Authorizes a licensee to engage in privileges not authorized 5
under the terms of their license;6
(ii) Requires a licensee to obtain a liquor license for a type of 7
activity conducted by another licensee from that other licensee's 8
separate premises on the facility property; or9
(iii) Shall be construed to violate RCW 66.28.305 or other 10
provisions of this title.11
Sec. 2. RCW 66.28.295 and 2011 c 66 s 2 are each amended to read 12
as follows: 13
Nothing in RCW 66.28.290 shall prohibit: 14
