The bill amends RCW 43.70.110 to allow additional health professions to access the University of Washington health sciences library. It introduces new provisions that include psychological associates and mental health counselor associates among the licensed health professionals whose fees will contribute to the library's funding. Specifically, the bill states that license fees for various health care providers, including psychologists and mental health counselors, will include an additional fee of up to twenty-five dollars, which will be transferred to the University of Washington for library purposes.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing exemptions from licensing fees for certain groups, such as retired active physicians and municipal corporations providing emergency medical services. It also allows the secretary to waive fees if deemed necessary for public health and safety. The overall structure of the fee system remains intact, with the new insertions expanding the list of health professions that contribute to the funding of the health sciences library.
