The bill introduces a new section to chapter 18.130 RCW, establishing regulations regarding the provision of ultrasounds and similar medical imaging procedures. It stipulates that such services may only be performed by licensed health care providers or individuals under their supervision, ensuring that all actions are within the supervising provider's scope of practice. Additionally, the bill outlines that any violation of this provision will be considered practice without a license, leading to investigations and adjudications by the disciplining authority as per RCW 18.130.190.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the regulations do not apply to the use of ultrasounds on livestock or other animals owned or raised by the individual performing the procedure. This distinction allows for continued agricultural practices without the constraints imposed on human medical procedures. The bill was passed by both the Senate and House in March 2024 and was subsequently approved by the Governor.
