Votes at a glance: key House bills and confirmations approved by the Idaho Senate on March 13, 2025

The Idaho Senate handled a large volume of business March 13, 2025. Below are the principal final actions taken on bills and appointments that appeared on third reading or as committee reports. Where the roll call tally was given on the floor, it is shown; where not recorded in the transcript, the outcome is reported as passed and the transcript indicates the title was approved.

Votes and outcomes (selected):

- House Bill 169 (routing change for Idaho Educational Services for the Deaf and the Blind): passed (vote reported as 35 in favor). (HB169 passed.)

What this means: Passed House bills will be returned to the House of Representatives (or placed in enrolled form as specified) for further processing; gubernatorial appointments with committee report adoptions will be transmitted to the governor’s office or the appropriate next step as noted on the floor. For bills with divided votes, the transcript records the explicit tallies included above. For other bills the transcript recorded that the title was approved and the measure was returned to the House without a floor roll-call count recorded in the excerpt.

If you want a machine-readable list of every bill acted on during the March 13 session including the full roll-call tallies where recorded in the transcript, I can produce that as a separate export.
