The two-year state operating budget that passed the Washington Legislature last week includes two provisos from 14th District Representative Gina Mosbrucker that will help those afflicted with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and fund a program that provides for expedited DNA processing in crime cases. One requires the Department of Social and Health Services to consider pediatric and juvenile rheumatologists for eligibility of the health professional loan repayment and scholarship program. Mosbrucker said this will help expand the pool of rheumatologists across the state. The second appropriates funding for an enhanced forensic capabilities pilot program that provides expedited DNA technology and forensic services to assist in crime scene evidence. The Washington State Patrol is required to submit a plan to the Legislature by the end of the year that addresses protocols for the use and operation of the pilot program, while maintaining civil liberties and protecting individual privacy.
