WA HB1092

Use of Schedule I or II controlled substances (excluding cannabis) without a valid prescription while caring for a child constitutes reasonable grounds for child removal to prevent imminent or serious physical harm due to abuse or neglect

Creates rebuttable presumption that child removal is necessary when a parent's use or possession of Schedule I/II controlled substances (except cannabis) creates risk of child exposure, ingestion, inhalation, or contact with such substances

Requires parents to demonstrate at least six months of sobriety through random drug or alcohol testing (minimum twice monthly) before a child can be returned after removal based on controlled substance risk

Lowers the legal standard for law enforcement, hospitals, and physicians to take a child into custody from "probable cause" to "reasonable cause" when necessary to prevent imminent or serious physical harm from abuse or neglect

Removes existing provisions requiring courts to give "great weight" to public health guidance from the Department of Health regarding high-potency synthetic opioids when making removal determinations
