Brief description of significant agency actions for which the agency is initiating an environmental justice assessment.
The Washington State Department of Health (department) is conducting an Environmental Justice Assessment on potential agency legislative action for 2025. The department is considering a bill to amend chapter 70.90 RCW which regulates water recreation facilities.

The MAHC is based on the latest science and water recreation best practices.
