Washington residents face a particularly important decision on whether to repeal the state's major climate policy, the Climate Commitment Act .

The measure, dubbed Washington Initiative 2117 , would repeal the 2021 law and prohibit state agencies from implementing any carbon cap-and-trade system.

Proponents of the bill have heavily criticized the law and claim the current carbon tax has increased energy costs.

A group opposing the bill tells Fox News Digital that passing the measure would mean "more pollution in our air and water".
