JFAC fixes drafting error in Idaho Commission for Libraries language
Summary
The Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee accepted corrected statutory language for the Idaho Commission for Libraries after staff said a subsection letter was dropped during drafting.
The Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee accepted corrected language for the Idaho Commission for Libraries on March 24, clarifying a cross-reference in legislation governing school and library protections.
The change, presented by Brooke Dupree, a budget and policy analyst with the Legislative Services Office, restores a dropped subsection letter so the provision points to the intended portion of the Children’s School and Library Protection Act. Dupree told the committee the edit fixes a drafting omission from last week’s accepted language.
Committee members briefly considered the item. Senator Carlson asked for unanimous consent; Senator Wintrow objected and the committee proceeded to a roll call. The motion to accept the language passed with the committees reporting a combined total of 18 ayes and 2 nays (Senate: 8–2; House: 10–0). Ms. Figueroa conducted the roll call.
The committee recorded the correction on the record and carried a due-pass recommendation for the language as corrected.
Less-critical details: Dupree said the change is limited to restoring the missing letter in the citation; no additional funding or programmatic changes were discussed.
