What’s happening in Washington?

The 2026 Washington State Legislative Session has adjourned, and HB 1770 did not advance. While the bill is no longer active, similar proposals may be reintroduced in future sessions.  

Potential impacts on consumers: 

  • Limits on how plans manage provider networks could reduce your options 

  • Vision care could become more expensive for you and your family 

  • Accessing vision care when you need it could take longer or be more complicated 

It’s important to keep an eye on legislation to help ensure vision care remains affordable and accessible for Washington residents. Staying informed can help ensure Alliance for Affordable Vision Care voices are reflected if similar proposals are considered in future sessions.
