Summary: Chapter 314-11 WAC was reorganized and rewritten in 2001. Since that time, the agency has discovered several technical changes that need to be made to the following rules to help clarify language for staff and for liquor licensees.
• WAC 314-11-015 What are my responsibilities as a liquor licensee?, in subsection (3)(a), the word "apparently" was inadvertently deleted when the WAC was revised in 2001.
• WAC 314-11-020 What are the guidelines regarding sales to persons under twenty-one years of age and where persons under twenty-one are allowed on a licensed premises?, rewording is needed to clarify when a person must present ID to a law enforcement officer.
• WAC 314-11-065 What type of liquor is allowed on a licensed premises?, in subsection (1), wording needs to be changed to clarify when and how beer and wine on-premises licensees can have spirits on their premises for cooking.
• WAC 314-11-070 During what hours can I sell or serve liquor?, in subsection (1), wording needs to be changed to clarify the prohibition against physical possession.
