Parental medical‑decision bill spurs emotional testimony and warnings from medical groups; committee defers action
Representative Amadee's HB 948, meant to codify parental authority over non‑emergency medical decisions for minors, drew strong support from families and conservative groups and concerted opposition from pediatricians, hospitals, and forensic nurses who warned of conflicts with mandatory reporting and risks to child safety; the committee voluntarily deferred the bill.

Witnesses and agency clash over giving attending physicians more authority in workers' comp care
Senate Bill 5,847 would let attending physicians deviate from L&I treatment guidelines when medically appropriate, expand access when network care is unavailable, and set timelines for utilization review. Supporters said it codifies the Murray decision; the agency and business groups warned it could undermine evidence-based standards and raise costs without testing.
