2013 Revised Code of Washington
Title 18 - BUSINESSES AND PROFESSIONS
18.122 Regulation of health professions -- Uniform administrative provisions.
18.122.010 Legislative intent.
RCW 18.122.010 Legislative intent.
The legislature takes note of the burgeoning number of bills proposed to regulate new health and health-related professions and occupations. The legislature further recognizes the number of allied health professions seeking independent practice. Potentially at least one hundred forty-five discrete health professions and occupations are recognized nationally, with at least two hundred fifty secondary job classifications. A uniform and streamlined credentialing process needs to be established to permit the department of health to administer the health professional regulatory programs in the most cost-effective, accountable, and uniform manner. The public interest will be served by establishing uniform administrative provisions for the regulated professions under the jurisdiction of the department of health regulated after July 26, 1987.
