Requiring use of alternatives to animal testing methods.

Summary

The bill bans animal testing in drug development if an approved alternative method exists, applying to testing facilities and manufacturers. It defines key terms, ties violations to Washington’s consumer‑protection law, and exempts cases where federal regulators still require animal tests. The goal is to improve drug safety, reduce costs, and reflect public support for non‑animal research.
