OLYMPIA, Wash. —
An initiative has been filed in Olympia that would require state and local government agencies to help enforce federal immigration laws.

It also would require people to prove citizenship for a driver's license, job or public benefits.

The initiative was filed Tuesday by Wendell Hannigan of White Swan in Yakima County.

Backers have until July 3 to collect about 241,000 voters signatures to put the issue on the November ballot.
