Initiative 200 was a Washington state initiative filed by Scott Smith and Tim Eyman.[1] It sought to prohibit racial and gender preferences by state and local government.[2] It was on the Washington ballot in November 1998 and passed with 58.22% of the vote.[3] It added to Washington's law (but not its constitution) the following language:
The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.[4]
Initiative 200 effectively curtailed any form of affirmative action in the state.[5] In April 2019, the Washington Legislature passed Initiative 1000, ending the ban on affirmative action.[6] However, in November 2019, Referendum 88 blocked Initiative 1000 from going into effect.[5][7][8]
