The bill amends RCW 18.130.040 to place licenses issued under chapters 18.71B and 18.71C RCW under the authority of the uniform disciplinary act. This change expands the scope of the disciplining authority, which includes the secretary and various boards and commissions overseeing a wide range of licensed professions, such as midwives, dental hygienists, and massage therapists, among others. The bill emphasizes that the uniform disciplinary act applies only to the specified licensed professions and not to any unlicensed businesses or professions.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the authority of the disciplining authority to grant or deny licenses, as well as to impose conditions on licenses in compliance with chapter 18.415 RCW. It mandates that all disciplining authorities adopt procedures to ensure consistent application of the uniform disciplinary act across the various professions listed. This legislative change aims to enhance regulatory oversight and ensure uniformity in the disciplinary processes for licensed professionals in Washington State.
