The bill amends RCW 18.360.090 to include a new exemption for staff working at Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) clinics. Specifically, it allows these staff members to administer hematological screening tests, which are limited to tests conducted via heel-stick, toe-stick, or finger-stick sampling. This addition aims to enhance the services provided at WIC clinics by enabling trained personnel to perform essential health evaluations for their clients.

In the revised legal language, the bill introduces a new provision, designated as (6), which states that individuals working at WIC clinics can conduct these specific hematological tests. This amendment is part of a broader effort to ensure that necessary health screenings are accessible to women, infants, and children, thereby supporting their health and well-being. The bill also retains existing exemptions for various healthcare professionals and activities, ensuring that the scope of practice remains clear and comprehensive.
