Shot a whitetail a few years ago in PA with a 2 blade Rage; it did exactly as advertised.  Double lung and ran 50 yards.  Poor buck never stood a chance.

I have shot both types of broadheads from multiple companies and when it comes down to it the new fixed blades fly as well as field points.  Reliability matters more to me and I have had expandables fail on me.  The only fixed blade I have had problems with was a Crimson Talon, the blades are curved at ~56 degree angle.  The second deer I shot with those the arrow made a 45 degree turn and completely missed vitals.  Shot was from a treestand and I got the broadhead back after a buddy shot that same 150" whitetail during shotgun season.  The new Toxic broad heads have similar curvature but seem like a better design.

Did some digging and turns out they allow them,just not on big game animals. As stated before, its due to a perceived failure rate. In the meantime,it is legal to use them on game birds. Heres the wdfw links-

I saw a guy shoot a bull moose with a Rage broadhead. It was a 30yrd shot. Went in and busted threw the opposite shoulder. The blade was sticking out the other side. Went completely threw the bone. I was impressed, as for now I'm a Shuttle T guy. I've seen some big holes with lots of blood coming out of them!
