3 statewide measures on the ballot.

This measure would repeal a 9.9% tax on annual individual income over $1,000,000; prohibit state and local governments from imposing taxes on individual income or the receipt of individual income and taxes measured by an individual’s income; and define income as “any gain or benefit measured in money derived from an individual’s capital, labor, property, or other source.” It would also define “individual” as a natural person for purposes of excise taxes.

If approved by voters, Initiative Measure No. IP26-645 will result in an estimated loss to state revenue of $11.4 billion over state fiscal years 2027-2031. This would reduce funding to the state general fund to support core government services, particularly public K-12 education, higher education (including universities and community colleges), and human services (primarily healthcare). The Legislature expressed an intent to use the additional revenue created by Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 6346 (2026) (ESSB 6346) towards providing free school meals, transferring funds for childcare and early learning, and transferring funds to local governments to mitigate sales tax loss.

This is the Summary section of the Office of Financial Management's statement, as printed in the Voters' Pamphlet. The full statement gives the estimate as $11,432,414,000 over five fiscal years from the state general fund, federal general fund and fair start for kids account. The estimate is a projected revenue loss, not money spent. The sentence in the ballot title above that begins "This measure would decrease funding" is the Attorney General's public investment impact disclosure.

This measure would re-enact RCW 28A.605.005 as it was originally enacted in Initiative to the Legislature 2081. The re-enacted law would list certain rights of parents and guardians of public-school children, including rights to review materials and student records, receive certain notifications and opt students out of certain activities. It would repeal amendments to the statute, which modified school obligations and access to certain student records and added certain parental rights.

If approved by voters, Initiative Measure No. IL26-001 would restore RCW 28A.605.005 as originally passed by the Legislature in the 2024 session. It would list certain rights of parents and guardians of public-school children, such as the right to review their child’s school records, receive notifications, and opt their child out of certain activities. It would repeal amendments made in the 2025 legislative session. The initiative would have no fiscal impact on the state. Local school districts may incur minor costs to update policies and procedures, but this fiscal impact is indeterminate.

This is the Summary section of the Office of Financial Management's statement, as printed in the Voters' Pamphlet.

This measure would require policies prohibiting students it defines as “biologically male” from competing with or against female students in certain interschool athletic activities that are intended for female students only. Students who choose to participate in such activities must provide a statement from the student’s healthcare provider verifying the student’s biological sex, based on reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels. These requirements would apply to individual or team athletic competitions.

Local school districts may also incur costs to revise existing policies, procedures, rules, and other requirements, but this fiscal impact is indeterminate.

This is the Summary section of the Office of Financial Management's statement, as printed in the Voters' Pamphlet. The full statement estimates a one-time state cost of approximately $21,000 in state fiscal year 2026 to update guidelines.
