Votes at a glance: House actions April 4, 2025 — joint rules, rules suspensions and enrollments

The Idaho House conducted several procedural and substantive votes on April 4, 2025, including the adoption of joint rules for the legislature, passage of Senate Concurrent Resolution 113, and the enrollment/transmittal of multiple bills to the governor.

Key items and outcomes recorded on the House floor that day:

- Joint rules: The House adopted joint rules for the first and second sessions of the 60th Legislature, with the exception of Joint Rule 11. The clerk recorded 49 ayes, 1 nay and 20 absent or excused.

- Senate Concurrent Resolution 113: Members suspended rules to take up the measure and then passed SCR 113, which approves most temporary and pending agency rules submitted during the session (with exceptions identified in committee). The roll call for the suspension and adoption was recorded as 51 ayes and 19 absent or excused.

- Enrollment and transmission: The House’s committees reported that a series of enrolled House bills and memorials were transmitted to the governor and secretary of state at specific times during the day; recorded transmittals included multiple bills (as read on the record) and enrolled measures being signed by the speaker for return to the Senate.

- Miscellaneous calendar actions: The House took action to place several measures on general orders and to file bills for second- and third-reading calendars, including placement and retention of bills such as House Bill 3 79, House Bill 3 87, House Bill 4 37, House Concurrent Resolution 19 and Senate Bill 10 66 (as amended) on general orders.

These procedural steps cleared or set the calendar for the final handling of bills during the 2025 session and enabled immediate consideration of specific measures where rules suspensions were approved. Where roll-call totals were read on the record, the clerk’s announcements are reflected above.
