WAC rules listed in the categories provide reference areas, and may not be all inclusive.(2) Penalties for violations by liquor licensees or employees are broken down into four categories:(a) Group One—Public safety violations, WAC 314-29-020.(b) Group Two—Regulatory violations, WAC 314-29-025.(c) Group Three—License violations, WAC 314-29-030.(d) Group Four—Nonretail violations involving the manufacture, supply, and/or distribution of liquor by nonretail licensees and prohibited practices between nonretail licensees and retail licensees, WAC 314-29-035.(3) For the purposes of chapter 314-29 WAC, a two year window for violations is measured from the date one violation occurred to the date a subsequent violation occurred.(4) The following schedules are meant to serve as guidelines. Based on mitigating or aggravating circumstances, the liquor control board may impose a different penalty than the standard penalties outlined in these schedules. Based on mitigating circumstances, the board may offer a monetary option in lieu of suspension during a settlement conference as outlined in WAC 314-29-010(3).
