SB 6014 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning pregnancy-related accommodations.

SB 6014 clarifies Washington's pregnancy accommodation law by limiting when employers can request written medical certification for pregnancy-related adjustments (e.g., modified duties or breaks), except for specific accommodations like lifting restrictions. It prohibits employers from disclosing employees' personal health information related to pregnancy and adds strict confidentiality rules for complaint records filed with the state, protecting names, addresses, and medical details. The bill also requires the state department to provide online education materials explaining pregnancy accommodation rights for employers and employees. These changes directly affect pregnant employees seeking workplace adjustments, employers subject to the law, and state agencies handling complaints.

What changed between versions

Substitute Bill Substitute Passed Legislature · 3 edits
MINOR
The document has been updated from a draft substitute bill to the final certified version passed by the legislature. The primary change is the addition of a formal certification block confirming the bill's passage by both the Senate and House with specific vote counts, along with signatures from legislative officers. No substantive policy changes, funding amounts, or eligibility criteria were altered in this text.
TECHNICAL

Added a formal certification section confirming the bill was passed by the Senate (41-8) and House (68-25) and includes signatures from the Secretary of the Senate and Secretary of State.

Removed the draft bill number 'S-4278.1' and replaced it with the final title 'CERTIFICATION OF ENROLLMENT'.

Updated the document header to reflect the final legislative status ('Passed Legislature - 2026 Regular Session') instead of the draft status.
