Reestablishing the Washington commission on student learning.

       Finds that the major focus of the no child left behind act is to provide all children with a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. In response to the no child left behind legislation, Washington has developed a single statewide accountability system that is required to ensure that: All K-12 public school students are included in the state assessment system; at least ninety-five percent of the students enrolled in the tested grades are assessed; all student groups reach the states proficiency level in reading and mathematics by 2013-14; schools and districts that do not meet the state's adequate yearly progress requirements are identified as needing improvement.

       Finds that in 2003 over one-third of school districts in Washington did not make adequate yearly progress and more dramatically, the state, itself, did not meet its adequate yearly progress goal overall.

        Finds that the office of the superintendent of public instruction's comprehensive research entitled, Addressing the Achievement Gap: A Challenge for Washington State Educators (November, 2002) concludes that, low-income and minority students encounter fewer opportunities to learn, inadequate instruction and support, and lower expectations from their schools and teachers.

        Declares that research has also pointed out that schools are more reflective of white, middle-class society. This can lead to a disconnect between students who come from different cultures and family conditions and the traditional school structure and expectations.

        Acknowledges that the Washington state school directors association reports that: Serious attention must be given to creating learning environments that are intolerant of racism and exclusion and in which high expectations are held for all students; curriculum and teaching practices must recognize differences in ethnicity, language, and culture and teachers must be skilled in teaching students unlike themselves; and in order to close the achievement gap, there must be understanding of the impact of language, culture, race, and poverty on student achievement.

        Finds that the social, economic, and psychological fallout from failure to meet adequate yearly progress threatens all levels of our society and its stability.

        Declares an intent to transform systems to enable the state and school districts to meet adequate yearly progress, particularly with historically marginalized students.

by Representatives Cody, Morrell, Conway, G. Simpson, Dickerson, Lantz and Murray

Increasing access to health insurance coverage.

       Declares it is the intent of the legislature to: (1) Expand access to health care by imposing a fee on large employers, generating revenue that will be used to provide health care through basic health plan enrollment of the employees of employers paying the tax, and their dependents. However, consistent with this act, large employers can reduce or eliminate their fee through expenditures on health services for their employees;

       (2) Maintain existing protections in law for persons eligible for public programs including, but not limited to, medical assistance programs, the state children's health insurance program, and the basic health plan.

       Declares it is not the intent of the legislature to influence the content or administration of employee benefit plans, and the legislature is neutral as to whether large employers choose to pay the tax or provide health services to their employees and dependents.

       Finds that many small employers struggle with the cost of providing employer-sponsored health insurance coverage to their employees and their employees' families, while others are unable to offer employer-sponsored health insurance due to its high cost. Low-wage workers also struggle with the burden of paying their share of the costs of employer-sponsored health insurance, while others turn down their employer's offer of coverage due to its costs.

       Finds that limitations on access to health care services for enrollees in the state, such as in rural and underserved areas, are particularly challenging for the basic health plan.

       Declares an intent to authorize the administrator to develop alternative purchasing strategies to ensure access to basic health plan enrollees in all areas of the state, including: (1) The use of differential rating for managed health care systems based on geographic differences in costs; and (2) limited use of self-insurance in areas where adequate access cannot be ensured through other options.

       Finds that: (1) While increasing access to health care coverage for the state's uninsured residents is critical, no effort to address improvements in our health care system can proceed without close examination of health care costs and quality; and

       (2) A comprehensive examination of health care cost and quality must include meaningful participation of a broad array of interests, including health care purchasers, health care providers, and insurers.

       Directs the administrator of the health care authority to conduct a study and prepare recommendations to the legislature related to cost containment and quality improvement in the state's health care system. The report must be submitted to the governor and appropriate committees of the legislature by October 1, 2005.

Improving patient safety practices.

        Finds that: (1) Thousands of patients are injured each year in the United States as a result of medical errors, and that a comprehensive approach is needed to effectively reduce the incidence of medical errors in our health care system. Implementation of proven patient safety strategies can reduce medical errors, and thereby potentially reduce the need for disciplinary actions against licensed health care professionals and facilities, and the frequency and severity of medical malpractice claims; and

        (2) Health care providers, health care facilities, and health carriers can and should be supported in their efforts to improve patient safety and reduce medical errors by authorizing the sharing of successful quality improvement efforts, encouraging health care facilities and providers to work cooperatively in their patient safety efforts, and increasing funding available to implement proven patient safety strategies.

        Declares an intent to positively influence the safety and quality of care provided in Washington state's health care system.

        Establishes provisions for funding patient safety efforts.

        Requires that, by December 1, 2007, the department shall report the following information to the governor and the health policy and fiscal committees of the legislature: (1) The amount of patient safety fees and set asides deposited to date in the patient safety account;

        (2) The criteria for distribution of grants, loans, or other appropriate arrangements under this act; and

        (3) A description of the medical error reduction and patient safety grants and loans distributed to date, including the stated performance measures, activities, timelines, and detailed information regarding outcomes for each project.

Providing immunity from liability for licensed health care providers at community health care settings.

        Declares that a "community health care setting" means an entity that provides health care services and: (1) Is operated by a public entity or private tax exempt corporation;

        (2) Is a for-profit corporation that maintains and holds itself out to the public as having established hours on a regular basis for providing free health care services to members of the public to the extent that care is actually provided without compensation during those established hours; or

        (3) Is a for-profit corporation that is participating, through a written agreement, in a community-based program to provide access to health care services for uninsured persons, to the extent that care is being provided without compensation to individuals who have been referred for care through that community-based program.
