SB 6363-S - DIGEST
(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 1ST SUBSTITUTE)

Declares an intent to encourage Washington's public and private sector employers to develop worksite health promotion programs using targeted, individualized health information and appropriate incentives to promote employee participation.

Requires the authority to develop an on-line health assessment tool that is available to state employees. The health assessment tool must: (1) Be voluntary;

(2) Be confidential;

(3) Enable participants to compare their personal health information with local and national data; and

(4) Generate recommendations about programs and actions most likely to improve individual health.

Requires the authority to make the on-line health assessment tool available to private sector employers. The administrator may charge private sector employers an annual enrollment fee sufficient to offset the cost of administering the health assessment tool for private sector employers.
