HB 2336 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Facilitating the use of a department of labor and industries-approved, application-based, third-party recording platform to record independent medical exams.

HB 2336 requires injured workers in Washington state workers' compensation cases to record their independent medical exams using a state-approved, secure third-party platform instead of personal devices. Workers must notify the scheduling entity 7 days in advance and cannot store, alter, or share recordings - only the vendor’s secure server may hold them, with recordings retained for 10 years after claim closure. The law applies to all workers’ compensation claims, directly affecting injured workers, medical examiners, self-insurers, and the Department of Labor & Industries. It mandates platform security features like encryption and prohibits local copies or social media sharing, with violations carrying $1,000 penalties.
