OLYMPIA, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – As the final ballots are being tallied in the November election, lawsuits are already being filed over a passing state initiative.

The ACLU of Washington State filed their suit against the state on Friday, Nov. 6 over the passage of I-638.

If it’s signed into law, I-638 would require a healthcare provider to confirm the gender of prospective student athletes that want to participate in girls’ sports. Students who want to participate in boys’ sports would not have to go through the additional health screening.

Plaintiffs include the parents of seven high school students and two nonprofits, all of whom claim the initiative’s passage is invasive and unconstitutional. They cite state law regarding sex discrimination as their basis for the unconstitutional aspect.

KOMO reports that the Seattle school board filed a similar lawsuit against the state Monday, Nov. 9, calling the initiative discriminatory against girls.

I-638 would formally take effect on Dec. 3 if no legal action is taken against it.
