Secretary Hobbs notifies Legislature of initiative no. 2124 certification

(OLYMPIA)— Secretary of State Steve Hobbs delivered official notification to the Legislature Thursday that signature verification has been completed and certified for the following Initiative to the Legislature: Initiative to the Legislature no. 2124 concerning state long term care insurance.

The signatures on six Initiatives to the Legislature for the 2024 Legislative session have been verified by the Office of the Secretary of State Elections Division using a state-mandated process of examining a 3% random sample of submitted signatures, according to a news release from the Office of the Secretary of State.

The Legislature may approve an Initiative to the Legislature or send it to voters. If an initiative is rejected by the Legislature, or the Legislature takes no action by the end of the Legislative session on March 7, the Secretary of State will certify the initiative for the next General Election. The Legislature may also pass an alternative proposal to accompany an initiative on the ballot.
