State v. Climate Solutions

The Washington Supreme Court agreed to retain for direct review an appeal by the Building Industry Association of Washington of a trial court decision that held that a 2024 ballot initiative regarding natural gas use and electrification violated the Washington Constitution’s single-subject rule and other requirements for ballot initiatives. The ballot title for the initiative stated that it “would repeal or prohibit certain laws and regulations that discourage natural gas use and/or promote electrification, and require certain utilities and local governments to provide natural gas to eligible customers.”
