The Washington State Legislature is once again holding a hearing on Senate Bill 5236, a proposal to impose rigid staffing mandates on hospitals, among other staffing restrictions. SB
5236 will be heard this week before the Senate Ways and Means Committee at 4:00 pm on Thursday, February 16. WSHA is arranging for testifiers in opposition to this legislation, but
we need people to show their opposition by signing-in to oppose the bill. Please sign in “con” to oppose SB 5236 and share this message with your networks. We need a strong showing
to make it clear that this bill will harm Washington patients. Sign in must be complete by Thursday, February 16 at 3:00 pm. Complete the sign-in form by following this link: https://tinyurl.com/WM5

More background: WSHA strongly opposes SB 5236 which would impose rigid staffing minimums and extend other workplace regulations that will hamper hospitals’ to ensure patients receive
the care they need when they need it. If hospitals had to comply with these regulatory requirements at any time more procedures would be delayed, more people would wait hours for emergency
care, and some hospital units would, at times, have to stop accepting patients for their medically necessary care altogether. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Labor
and Industries (L&I) to develop these standards. It also contains harmful provisions such as limits to pre-scheduled on-call.
