Notes
Findings—2017 c 192: "The legislature finds that:
(1) Washington state provides a stated preference for hiring veterans and provides a scoring preference for hiring and promotional opportunities to veterans in the form of enhanced test scores;
(2) Few agencies outside of law enforcement use tests in hiring or promotion;
(3) Veterans have experience that is broader than law enforcement and the state can benefit by recruiting people with this experience;
(4) Veterans leave service with experience in transportation, teaching and education, logistics, computer technology, health care, media and communications, construction and engineering, and administrative support;
(5) Many state agencies and other public employers are struggling to fill and retain employees in key positions;
(6) Many public and private employers have developed veteran hiring and recruitment programs that take advantage of the broad experience that veterans bring to the job market." [
