Idaho House approves journal, refers and files bills and sets committee meetings
The Idaho House of Representatives met Jan. 9, 2025, approved the journal for the third legislative day, filed or referred four introduced bills and a concurrent resolution to committee calendars, set multiple committee meeting times and adjourned until 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 10, 2025.

The House began with procedural items, a pledge and an invocation. The journal for the third legislative day was moved for approval by Representative Skog and seconded by Representative Gannon; the presiding officer put the question and the motion passed.

Committee reports followed. The House Committee on State Affairs reported it had considered House Concurrent Resolution 2 and recommended it do pass; the resolution was placed on the second-reading calendar. The clerk filed House Bill 1 in the office of the chief clerk. House Bill 2 was referred to the State Affairs Committee.

Two bills were read into the record with short summaries and referred for printing to the Committee on Judiciary, Rules and Administration. The House read a description of House Bill 3 as "an act relating to taxation, amending section 6330, Idaho Code, to revise a definition in declaring an emergency and providing retroactive application." The House read a description of House Bill 4 as "an act relating to information technology services and cybersecurity, amending section 67827a, Idaho Code, to revise powers and duties to require implementation of cybersecurity best practices and certain use of multifactor identification; amending section 67831, Idaho Code, and adding a new section to chapter 23, title 67, Idaho Code, to provide for multifactor identification by the legislative branch, judicial branch and elected constitutional officers, and providing an effective date." Both bills were referred to the Committee on Judiciary, Rules and Administration for printing.

Members then announced committee meeting schedules for the day and the following day. Among the items recorded on the floor: the Business Committee, House June Rules, Commerce and Human Resources, Judiciary, Resources and Conservation, Appropriations, Education, Health and Welfare, Revenue and Taxation, and State Affairs committees listed meeting or nonmeeting status with times and locations as read into the record.

A motion to adjourn was made and seconded; the House voted in the affirmative and adjourned until 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 10, 2025.

The session was largely procedural: members advanced introductory steps needed to move bills into committee and calendar processes rather than debating or voting on measures’ final passage.
