Initiative No. 2117 (I-2117) is a ballot initiative in the U.S. State of Washington that appeared on the ballot on November 5, 2024. The initiative was brought to the state legislature by Let's Go Washington, a Redmond-based political action committee founded by Brian Heywood. The initiative seeks to repeal the Washington Climate Commitment Act (CCA), a cap and trade program adopted by the state in 2021 to begin pricing carbon emissions in order to create a downward pressure on state carbon emissions.
The effort to repeal the CCA through initiative was one of six ballot efforts spearheaded by Let's Go Washington in 2023. I-2117 collected a total of 466,072 signatures on the way to certification and introduction to the state legislature during their 2024 legislative session. I-2117 was one of three bills that Senate majority leader Andy Billig (D) and Speaker of the House Laurie Jenkins (D) announced on February 16, 2024, that the state legislature would not hold hearings on. This decision not to take action on the referred initiative placed the decision on the question to the November 2024 general election.
