The Senate State Affairs Committee introduced RS 3,219, a resolution sponsored by Senator Kevin Cook (R., District 32) that designates Jan. 16 as a day to remember the freedom to worship.

Cook told the committee the resolution is “not to fix a problem, but about celebrating a foundational principle that strengthens our communities” and that the measure aims to promote “unity, understanding, and respect for all Idahoans” while maintaining the separation between church and state.

Senator Burnt moved and Senator Adams seconded that RS 3,219 be introduced and sent to print. The motion carried by voice vote. The sponsor stood for questions but there was no public testimony on the resolution.

What happens next: The resolution was sent to print; if introduced as legislation it would follow the normal committee and floor processes for nonbinding commemorative or memorial resolutions.
