Committee reports out SB 6258 with do‑pass recommendation after brief executive session

In executive session on Feb. 25 the committee considered Senate Bill 6258, which would grant the Washington Medical Commission rule‑making authority to create a nondisciplinary pathway for voluntary relinquishment of licenses issued by the commission.

Vice Chair Saladin moved to report SB 6258 out of committee with a do‑pass recommendation; the motion was seconded and briefly discussed. Representative Lee spoke in favor, citing the sensitivity around professionals relinquishing licenses and noting the benefit of a nondisciplinary option for retirees or those stepping away from practice. The clerk announced the roll call: 14 ayes, Representatives Nance, Root and Thomas excused. The chair recorded that SB 6258 was reported out of committee with a do‑pass recommendation.

The action was procedural and the committee did not record amendments during the executive action.
