flag Washington state will skip hearings on two conservative initiatives, moving them directly to the 2026 ballot due to verified signatures.

flag Washington state Democratic leaders announced they won’t hold hearings on two conservative-backed initiatives—expanding parental rights in schools and banning transgender athletes from girls’ sports—citing sufficient public support and enough verified signatures to place them on the November 2026 ballot. flag Both measures, backed by the group Let’s Go Washington, have reportedly gathered over 400,000 signatures each. flag Lawmakers say voters should decide, though critics argue the move bypasses public input. flag The secretary of state’s office will verify signatures, a process expected to take weeks.
