This bill amends RCW 66.24.690 to create a new caterer's license that authorizes selling spirits, beer, and wine by the individual serving at retail for consumption on the premises of an event location owned, leased, or operated by the caterer or the event sponsor. It permits such sales at events open to the public or limited to members or invited guests, requires the licensee to serve food as required by board rules, bars catering events at locations that already hold a liquor license, makes the licensee responsible for all sales, service, and consumption at the event, and allows storage of liquor on other premises owned or controlled by a leasehold interest under board-established conditions. The bill sets annual fees ($200 for beer, $200 for wine, $400 for beer and wine, $1,000 for beer, wine and spirits) and establishes a 12-month waiver of those fees beginning with the second calendar month after February 28, 2021, for licenses expiring during that waiver period and for persons previously licensed in the 12 months prior, subject to exclusions. Fee waivers are not available to licensees suspended by the board for health and safety violations of state COVID-19 guidelines or cited by the Department of Labor and Industries for allowing prohibited work in violation of a governor's emergency proclamation under RCW 43.06.220. The bill requires licensees to notify the board or its designee of the date, time, place, and location of catered events where liquor will be served and to provide information about the sponsoring entity on request; it also requires the board and the Department of Labor and Industries to provide the Department of Revenue a list of persons ineligible for the waiver within 15 calendar days of request unless agreed otherwise. This is a statutory modification creating a new license category and associated procedural requirements, fee schedule, a temporary fee waiver with specific exclusions, information-sharing obligations, and restrictions on where catering may occur. The bill references and amends RCW 66.24.690 and cites RCW 66.24.375 and RCW 43.06.220; it affects the board (unspecified in the extracted text), the Department of Labor and Industries, and the Department of Revenue. The extracted material does not identify the board by full name, does not include the detailed rules the board must adopt, and does not provide full surrounding statute text or current timing context for the 2021 waiver. House Bill 1807 was introduced and referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Business.

If enacted, the bill creates a new caterer’s liquor license that lets caterers sell beer, wine, and spirits by the individual serving at events they or an event sponsor operate, but it also imposes new operational duties: caterers must serve food as the board requires, notify the board of the date/time/place of each catered event and provide sponsor information on request, may only store liquor offsite under board conditions and if they control the premises, cannot cater events at locations that already hold a liquor license, and are legally responsible for all alcohol sales, service, and consumption at the event. Annual license fees are set ($200 beer, $200 wine, $400 beer and wine, $1,000 beer/wine/spirits) although a 12‑month waiver beginning the second calendar month after February 28, 2021 applies to some licenses; that waiver excludes licensees suspended for COVID‑related health and safety violations or cited by Labor and Industries for prohibited emergency work. The parties most affected are caterers (who gain the option to sell alcohol but face new fees, administrative notifications, service and storage rules, and event liability), event sponsors (who gain access to licensed catering but cannot use a caterer where the location already has its own liquor license), and state agencies—the unidentified “board,” Department of Revenue, and Department of Labor and Industries—which will need to adopt rules, process notifications, and exchange lists of waiver‑ineligible persons within 15 days of request. Important details are missing from the provided facts: the exact identity of the “board,” the specific notification, food‑service, and offsite storage rules, and the present timing or applicability of the 2021 waiver period.
