"Washington Governor Supports Suspension of 'Lewd Conduct' Enforcement by Liquor and Cannabis Board"

The Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) has suspended enforcing its lewd conduct rule for businesses distributing alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and vapor products, a decision supported by Governor Jay Inslee. This came after unannounced inspections, including visits to LGBTQ+ establishments, led to concerns about raids and disruptions in the community. The LCB will review its lewd conduct regulations and work with legislators and the LGBTQ+ caucus to find solutions, while also suspending its partnership with the Joint Enforcement Team.
