Idaho House approves journal, refers several new bills to committees and adjourns to Jan. 10
Summary
At its Jan. 9, 2025 floor session the Idaho House of Representatives approved the journal for the third legislative day, filed and referred new bills and a concurrent resolution to committees for further action, and adjourned until 8:30 a.m. Jan. 10, 2025.
The Idaho House of Representatives approved the House Journal for the third legislative day, took routine committee reports that filed or referred several newly introduced measures, and adjourned until 8:30 a.m. Friday, Jan. 10, 2025.
The House approved a motion to adopt the journal as corrected after the clerk presented the report of the Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee. The motion to approve the journal was moved by Rep. Skogg and seconded by Rep. Gannon; the presiding officer carried the voice vote, saying, "The journal's approved." The transcript records only a voice vote; no numerical tally was provided.
The floor received committee reports that several bills were filed or referred for committee action. The chief clerk filed House Bill 1 in the office of the chief clerk and referred House Bill 2 to the State Affairs Committee. The State Affairs Committee reported that House Concurrent Resolution 2 had been considered and recommended that it do pass; the resolution was placed on the second-reading calendar. House Bill 3, described on the floor as a taxation measure, and House Bill 4, described as a measure addressing information technology services and cybersecurity and proposing multi-factor identification requirements for certain branches and officers, were referred to the Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee for printing. The bill descriptions were read on the floor as part of the introduction and first-reading process; no floor debate on the measures is recorded in the transcript.
Several standing-committee meeting notices and scheduling announcements were made before adjournment. The record shows announcements for committee meeting times the next day and that some committees would not meet on Jan. 10. The House then approved a motion to adjourn until 8:30 a.m. Friday, Jan. 10, 2025. The motion was carried by voice vote; the transcript records only the presiding officer's announcement that the motion passed.
No substantive debate on the merits of the bills or concurrent resolution is recorded in the transcript provided; the session excerpt is largely procedural and limited to reading bill titles, committee referrals and routine housekeeping actions.
