Public comment opportunity
Healthy Environment For All (HEAL) Act
Seeking input related to environmental justice assessments by state agencies
Passed in 2021, the Healthy Environment For All (HEAL) Act addresses several recommendations from the Environmental Justice Task Force, including:
* Incorporating environmental justice principles and practices throughout government operations and service delivery
* Establishing transparency and accountability to communities
* Creating pathways for equitable community and tribal engagement in government decision making that seeks to improve the health of Washington state residents.
One of the core elements of the HEAL Act requires covered agencies to conduct environmental justice assessments on significant agency actions (SAAs) <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZX

What our agency is doing
Agencies are authorized to designate additional SAA’s, as actions that may cause environmental harm or may affect the equitable distribution of environmental benefits to an overburdened
community or a vulnerable population.
Commerce intends to adopt one additional SAA to create a pathway that encourages programs to opt-in to HEAL activities that wouldn’t otherwise be required to do so under the statutorily
defined SAA categories.
