Public hearing in the House Committee on Postsecondary Education & Workforce at 1:30 PM.
Summary
The bill prevents Washington’s nursing board from imposing requirements beyond those of a national accrediting body and treats an accreditation self‑study as sufficient for board compliance. It also adds assistance for low‑pass‑rate programs, speeds approval for new accredited programs, and sets modest certification and training rules for educators.
