House progresses to second order of business with Timberlake High student leading pledge

During the Idaho Legislature's 74th Legislative Session on March 20, 2025, the House convened with a focus on advancing legislative business. The session began with a moment of patriotism as Lachlan Piper, a student from Timberlake High School, led the Pledge of Allegiance, fostering a sense of community and civic engagement among attendees.

The meeting saw the participation of 45 members, with 20 absent but excused, indicating a commitment to legislative duties despite some members' absence. This gathering underscores the importance of youth involvement in government, as students like Piper are given the opportunity to engage with their elected officials and participate in the democratic process.

As the House moved forward with its agenda, the emphasis on community representation and the involvement of local students highlights the ongoing efforts to connect legislative actions with the residents of Idaho. The session serves as a reminder of the vital role that civic participation plays in shaping the future of the state.
