Concerning events conducted by liquor manufacturers and retailers.

HB 1719 creates new permit categories for liquor events under Washington State law. It allows manufacturers, distributors, and trade associations to serve or donate alcohol at specific events like trade conventions, international trade fairs, and educational tastings - without violating existing liquor regulations - provided the alcohol is purchased from licensed retailers and taxed. Bed-and-breakfasts can also serve wine or beer to guests, and educational institutions can host supervised tasting sessions for students in culinary or beverage programs. These permits require board approval, payment of applicable taxes, and adherence to specific operational rules.
