This bill adds a new section to chapter 69.50 RCW creating an annual permit that allows short-term rental operators to provide each rental guest age 21 or over one complimentary prerolled useable cannabis product of no more than one gram. The permit carries a stated annual fee of $75 and a single permit may cover all rental properties that the operator identifies in the permit application. The bill imposes procedural conditions: an operator or staff member present at the rental must verify a guest is 21+ by checking a valid ID at arrival, inform guests they are being offered a prerolled product and that it is unlawful to open or consume cannabis in public view or in a public place per RCW 69.50.445, and not provide the product to guests who have declined it. When used in compliance with RCW 69.50.445, the prerolled product may be consumed on the rental premises or removed and consumed off the premises. Permit applications are submitted on a prescribed form with payment to any employee authorized by "the board," and such an employee must issue the permit if satisfied under regulations prescribed by the board. This is a new regulatory permitting scheme (a procedural change) added to chapter 69.50 RCW rather than a penalty change or creation of a new crime, based on the provided text. The extracted facts do not identify which board is referenced, do not clarify whether the "prescribed fee" in the application process is the same $75, do not define "useable cannabis," and do not state an effective date, enforcement mechanisms, or any penalties; compliance with public-consumption limits depends on the content of RCW 69.50.445, which is not included here.

If enacted, short-term rental operators could legally give each adult guest one complimentary pre-rolled cannabis product of up to one gram, but only after the operator obtains an annual permit (listed properties covered) and verifies each consuming guest is 21+ at check-in, informs them of the offer and public-use restrictions, and does not give a product to guests who opt out. The permit is described as costing $75 annually, but the bill names “the board” as the permit-issuing authority without identifying which board, and it requires a prescribed form and fee to be submitted to an authorized employee; the text does not make clear whether that prescribed fee is the $75 or something different, nor does it set an effective date or enforcement and penalty details. Those most affected are short-term rental operators, who would face a modest new cost (the annual permit fee) and new responsibilities to verify IDs at arrival, inform and document guest consent or refusal, and list covered properties on the permit; operators may need to train staff or change check-in procedures and assume some compliance risk tied to RCW 69.50.445’s public-use rules. Guests age 21 and over gain the option to receive a free pre-rolled product, but actual ability to consume on-site depends on compliance with the referenced public-use law. Several implementation details are unclear in the provided text, including which board administers permits, exact application fees, the definition of “useable cannabis,” and enforcement mechanisms.
