HB1402 prohibits employers from requiring a valid driver's license unless driving is essential and alternatives are impractical.

HB1402 amends Washington law to make it an unfair practice for employers to require a valid driver's license in job postings unless driving is an essential job function and alternatives like ride hailing, carpooling, or public transit are not comparable in time or cost. This aims to ensure job opportunities are accessible to those without a driver's license, provided the job's core functions can be fulfilled through other means.
