Wash. court: Home care initiative OK for ballot

09/05/2008

Associated Press

The state Supreme Court says Initiative 1029 will be on the November ballot.

Opponents wanted to keep the initiative off the ballot, because there was a major misprint on the petitions that voters signed.

The initiative would require long-term care workers to pass a certification exam, complete more training and undergo background checks. The Service Employees International Union is a major supporter.
