TL;DR
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.

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.
