Brief Description:  Correcting a double amendment related to authorized functions of health care assistants.

By Representative Dellwo; by request of Law Revision Commission.

House Committee on Health Care

Senate Committee on Health & Human Services

Background:  A section of the law pertaining to the scope of practice of a health care assistant was amended twice during the 1986 Legislative Session, each without reference to the other. The two amendments were drafted in a manner that could not be reconciled without the section appearing twice in the Washington statutes.

Summary:  The section is reenacted incorporating the two disparate amendments in a manner consistent with proper drafting.
