During the opening day of the 68th Idaho Legislature on Jan. 7, members read and referred several ceremonial and policy-related measures to committee.
A message from the Senate returning House Concurrent Resolution 1 was read on the floor and that resolution was referred to the Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee for enrolling. The House also introduced House Joint Memorial 1, described on the floor as a joint memorial to the Supreme Court of the United States, and House Concurrent Resolution 2, described as a finding of the legislature that honors and commends the Boise State University women's volleyball team “for its courage and commitment and standing strongly for the integrity of women's sports by keeping women's sports for women only.” The floor presentation explicitly referenced alignment with “Idaho's fairness and women's sports act” and “Governor Little's executive order.”
The clerk announced that House Joint Memorial 1 and House Concurrent Resolution 2 were referred to the Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee for printing. No roll-call votes or floor amendments on those measures were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
Why it matters
Though the measures referred on the first day were procedural or ceremonial in form, the concurrent resolution references a state statute and an executive order that frame the legislature's intent. Referral to committee starts the formal process for printing, committee consideration and any subsequent floor action.
Next steps
The Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee will receive the printed measures for consideration; the transcript notes the referral but does not record committee action or hearings. Separately, the House record shows committee meeting schedules announced on the floor for the coming days, including an Appropriations Committee meeting at 8 a.m. Wednesday in room C310 and a Health and Welfare meeting at 9 a.m. Wednesday in East Wing Room 20.
