HB 1667 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning comprehensive cancer education programs.

HB 1667 requires Washington's state department to contract with a qualified training entity to deliver age-appropriate cancer education programs to students in grades 6-12. The programs must cover cancer prevention, risk reduction, and emotional resources, be delivered in 50-75 minute sessions aligned with existing health curricula, and expand access to Spanish-speaking students and geographically diverse areas. School districts may voluntarily choose to offer the programs and select which grades participate. The bill mandates the department to report on program delivery, participation, and language accessibility by December 2027, with funds intended to supplement - never replace - existing offerings.
