8 January 2024
Today marks the start of the "short" 2024 Legislative Session in Washington State, and WANP's priority scope modernization bill - Senate Bill 5411 - remains in the midst of an updated Sunrise Review with the Washington State Department of Health (DOH). Even though there is no possibility for legislative movement on our bill this session, there is a lot of work to be done continuing to educate legislators on issues that impact the naturopathic physician profession in Washington. We are proud to be working alongside our bill champion, Sen. Shelly Short (R-7), to elevate and amplify the ND voice in Olympia.
We will also be monitoring all bill activity and will communicate about any legislation that may help or hurt our doctors to give you all an opportunity to participate in your state government as desired.
Keep your eye on our Advocacy page and watch your email for up to the minute updates and calls to action from our Advocacy Team as we progress through another busy Session!
