Backers of an initiative to stop the state’s push to end natural gas use in buildings and homes say it has collected enough signatures to get their measure on the November ballot.

If approved, it would repeal parts of a new state law (HB1589), which in part aims to reduce carbon emissions- that includes planning requirements. Supporters of I-2066 say they collected more than 400,000 signatures, which they intend to hand over to the Washington Secretary of State's Office for signature verification.

They are facing a July 5 deadline and hope to secure a total of 500,000 signatures by Friday's deadline.
