This bill adds a new section to chapter 43.70 RCW requiring "the department" to contract with a qualified training entity to deliver age-appropriate comprehensive cancer education programs for students in grades 6–12, subject to amounts appropriated for this purpose. Participation by school districts is voluntary and each district may choose whether to offer the programs and which grades to include. Programs must be designed for a single class-period format (about 50–75 minutes) and be adaptable to assemblies or multiple-session formats, and must provide information on cancer prevention, risk reduction, and available social and emotional resources while encouraging teacher education and cross-subject use. The department must select an entity with a demonstrated record of delivering comprehensive cancer education in Washington and require evidence of past performance. Funds must be used to enhance and expand the selected entity’s Washington program rather than replace existing offerings, specifically to provide additional programs beyond the number delivered in the 2023–24 academic year, to reach geographically and racially/ethnically diverse students, and to offer programs in Spanish; the selected entity may subcontract but subcontractors must meet the same content, evaluation, and feedback standards. All activities are conditioned on appropriated funding. The department must report to the governor and legislature by December 1, 2027 on program delivery, student participation (including counts, locations, ages, grades), the number and reach of Spanish-language offerings, and other information and recommendations; the selected program must provide reporting to the department as needed. The text does not identify which state department is meant, does not give formal statutory definitions for "training entity" or "comprehensive cancer education programs," does not state appropriation amounts or the 2023–24 baseline program counts, and does not provide a specific new section number.

If enacted, a state agency will contract with an experienced nonprofit or other training organization to expand single-session cancer education for students in grades 6–12, with extra emphasis on reaching Spanish-speaking students and geographic and racial/ethnic diversity. School districts can opt in or out and choose which grades to include, so districts won’t be required to participate but those that do could offer a 50–75 minute program that supplements existing health curriculum; the selected training group (and any subcontractors) must meet content and evaluation standards and will receive state funds only to add capacity beyond what it delivered in 2023–24. The department and the chosen training entity will have new reporting duties, with the department required to report program counts, locations, student participation details, and Spanish-language delivery to the governor and legislature by December 1, 2027. Key uncertainties that affect real-world outcomes are which state department will lead this, how much funding will be appropriated, and what the 2023–24 baseline numbers were; without appropriations or clear baseline data, expansion and measurable reach may be limited.
