Dear Health Partners,
On September 23rd, a CR-101 was filed with the Code Reviser regarding the implementation of Engrossed Senate Substitute Bill 5229.
The department is considering creating rules requiring health professions licensed under Title 18 RCW to complete health equity CE training and establishing minimum standards for health equity CE programs to implement ESSB 5229 (Chapter 276, Laws of 2021). Section 2 of ESSB 5229 directs the department to adopt rules requiring a licensee to complete health equity continuing CE at least once every four years. Section 2 requires the department, in consultation with boards and commissions, to adopt model rules establishing the minimum standards for CE programs meeting the requirements of this section. Section 2 also directs the department to consult with patients or communities with lived experience of health inequities or racism in the health care system in developing the model rules.
Thank you
