Senate passes SB 11-90 to fund pay changes for several commissions; final tally 21–14
Summary
Senate Bill 11-90, an appropriation implementing pay policy decisions for the Public Utilities Commission, Industrial Commission and State Tax Commission, passed the Senate 21–14 after debate; the bill was carried by Senator Woodward.
Senate Bill 11-90 passed the Idaho Senate on March 28, 2025, after third-reading debate about pay adjustments for commissioners of the Industrial Commission, Public Utilities Commission and the State Tax Commission. Senator Woodward presented the bill as funding a policy decision previously made (cited as Senate Bill 11-48) and asked for final consideration.
Floor remarks were brief and focused on the bill’s purpose as a funding vehicle for earlier policy action. Debate was closed without amendments, and the Senate proceeded to a roll call. After a member changed a recorded vote, the secretary announced the corrected tally as 21 in favor and 14 opposed; a majority having voted in the affirmative, SB 11-90 passed and will be transmitted to the House of Representatives.
No dollar amounts were discussed on the floor during final consideration; the sponsor framed the measure as necessary funding to implement a prior policy decision. The floor exchange included a short recess while senators resolved questions about handwriting on the roll and an individual changed a recorded vote prior to the announcement of the corrected tally.
