The three citizen initiatives that received hearings in the Washington State Legislature last week are bound for floor votes after gaining committee approval on Friday, the Washington State Standard reported.
These are the measures that would lift restrictions on police vehicle pursuits, prohibit state and local income taxes and establish a “parents’ bill of rights” for the parents of K-12 school students.
Democratic support for the initiatives at the committee level was mixed. Republicans want to see the measures approved. The House and Senate are planning to vote on the initiatives on Monday.
The Standard has coverage of each initiative’s public hearing here:
