Path to the ballot
To make the 2018 ballot, proponents of Initiatives to the Legislature were required to submit at least 259,622 valid signatures by December 29, 2017.[3] If certified, initiatives are sent to the Washington House of Representatives and Washington State Senate for consideration. The legislature chooses whether to enact the measure, send it to the 2018 ballot alone, or send it to the ballot alongside an alternative proposition.
Tim Eyman and M.J. Fagan filed multiple versions of the initiative with the secretary of state's office in 2017. The first version of the initiative received a ballot title and summary on March 15, 2017.[1]
Proponents of the initiative did not submit signatures to the secretary of state's office by the December 29, 2017, deadline and the measure was not put on the ballot.[4]
