Initiative effort seeks to limit governor's emergency proclamations to 2 weeks
A group is collecting signatures for an initiative to the Legislature that seeks to limit emergency proclamations from the governor to two weeks.
The group behind the Initiative 1114 effort is called Restore Washington.
“I-1114 limits emergency Proclamations issued by the Governor to no longer than 14 days unless extended by a vote of the Legislature,” the group said in a press release. “The Legislature may not extend a Proclamation through mere letters from leadership, but must meet and vote. No individual extension may exceed fourteen days.”
If it gets 259,622 valid signatures by the end of the year, the measure would go before the Legislature next year.
If that happens, lawmakers could adopt it, reject or ignore it, or propose an alternative measure.
