Senate committee votes to print Foreman request on short-term rental oversight
Summary
The Rules Committee voted to send RS32466, a request from Sen. Dan Foreman concerning short-term rental regulation and the interface with local government, to print. The motion passed with one recorded no vote from Sen. Wintrow.
The Idaho Senate Rules Committee voted to send RS32466, a request from Commerce Committee Chairman Sen. Dan Foreman concerning short-term rentals and their interaction with local governments, to print for further consideration.
The request was introduced by Foreman, who asked the committee to allow the RS to be printed and ultimately heard in his committee. A motion to print RS32466 was made and seconded; after brief discussion the motion carried. Sen. Melissa Wintrow recorded a reluctant no vote and said she had received stakeholder contacts expressing dissension over the RS.
The printing of an RS is a procedural step that makes a draft bill available for formal committee review and potential introduction. Committee chairs sometimes use RS requests to secure printings after the standard print deadline; in this case the Rules Committee chair described the committee as a “privileged committee” that can consider such requests.
No substantive amendments or committee-level debate on the content of the measure occurred in this hearing; Foreman’s RS will be considered in his Commerce Committee once printed.
Votes at the committee were by voice; the only recorded opposition on the RS came from Sen. Wintrow. The RS was reported to print and will be routed to Chairman Foreman’s committee for the next steps.
