Requiring state registered apprenticeships in the building and construction trades to provide behavioral health and wellness training.
Effective date 6/11/2026.
Summary
The bill amends Washington’s licensing rules for plumbers and related trades, allowing up to four hours of approved behavioral health and wellness training to count toward the 24‑hour continuing‑education requirement for certificate renewal. It applies to certified journeymen, specialty plumbers, and apprentices in state‑registered plumbing construction programs. The change aims to promote mental‑health awareness without making the training mandatory.
