Bill crafted to increase cities share of marijuana excise taxes

Contact:

HB 2076 would increase the amount that would be distributed to cities and counties. The bill was introduced by Rep. Condotta (R – Wenatchee) and enjoys bi-partisan support. Marijuana excise tax is collected by the state and a portion is then distributed among various recipients, including cities and counties. Currently, the total amount distributed to local governments is capped at $15 million per year in fiscal years 2018 and 2019, and $20 million in years thereafter. The bill would increase the amount of the annual cap to $20 million in 2018, $30 million in 2019, and $40 million thereafter. AWC is supportive of this legislation and other measures to better share revenue from marijuana legalization.
