Votes at a glance: Committee advances English-language resolution and codifiers bill; sends carry-rights bill to floor
Summary
The committee advanced House Bill 376 (carry rights on routinely open public property) with a do-pass, and also approved House Joint Resolution 6 (official English) and House Bill 113 (annual codifiers bill) to go to the floor with due-pass recommendations.
The Idaho House State Affairs Committee recorded three floor-bound recommendations during the session.
House Bill 376 — Representative Dale Hawkins’ bill on carrying firearms on government-owned property that is normally and habitually open to the public — was recommended to the House floor with a do-pass motion; Representative Hostetler moved the motion and the chair recorded the motion as carried with Representatives Schubin and Achilles recorded as voting no.
House Joint Resolution 6 — a proposed amendment to add English as the official language of the state and require English in public proceedings and documents (except as required by federal law) — was moved to the floor with a due-pass recommendation by Representative Crane; Representatives Shuba and Keeley were recorded as voting no.
House Bill 113 — the annual codifiers bill that makes technical corrections to the Idaho Code — was moved to the floor with a due-pass recommendation by Representative Skogg; the motion carried with no recorded negative testimony.
All three measures will proceed to the full House for further consideration.
