Requiring a demonstration of support before a legislative bill is filed.

Summary

The bill obligates any Washington state legislator to gather at least 1,000 signatures from registered voters supporting a proposed bill before it can be filed with the office of the code reviser. It also creates a civil‑penalty framework and a citizen‑suit provision for violations involving illegal special‑influence payments. The goal is to limit low‑support or duplicate bills and curb undue influence on the legislative process.
