*Reviser's note: RCW 66.28.010 was amended by 2009 c 373 § 5 without cognizance of its repeal by 2009 c 506 § 11. For rule of construction concerning sections amended and repealed in the same legislative session, see RCW 1.12.025.
Expiration date -- 2009 c 507: See note following RCW 66.08.225.
Intent -- 1996 c 224: "It is the intent of the legislature that holders of annual on-premises retail liquor licenses be allowed to operate manufacturing facilities on those premises. This privilege is viewed as a means of enhancing and meeting the needs of the licensees' patrons without being in violation of the tied-house statute prohibitions of RCW 66.28.010. Furthermore, it is the intention of the legislature that this type of business not be viewed as primarily a manufacturing facility. Rather, the public house licensee shall be viewed as an annual retail licensee who is making malt liquor for on-premises consumption by the patrons of the licensed premises." [1996 c 224 § 1.]
