By Senators Muzzall, Cleveland, Christian, Dozier, Riccelli, and C. Wilson
Prefiled 12/10/25. Read first time 01/12/26. Referred to Committee on Health & Long-Term Care.
AN ACT Relating to partnering with a mobile pregnancy application to improve maternal and infant health; adding a new section to chapter 41.05 RCW; and creating a new section.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) To address the disparities in maternal and infant health in Washington among the medicaid eligible population, improving the continuum of care through awareness of available programs, supports, and services is vital. Unfortunately, too many pregnant patients remain unaware of critical maternal and infant health programs available in Washington. For example, perinatal substance use services can provide critical support to expecting patients, yet many remain unaware or unable to access these services in a timely or coordinated manner.
(2) The legislature therefore intends to close this gap. To do so, the state shall develop a mobile pregnancy application that connects medicaid eligible users to educational resources, care coordination, and state funded programs, supports, and services.
