Idaho House reads bills, refers measures to committees; two bills detail helmet rule and code cleanup
Summary
On Jan. 15 the Idaho House completed first readings and referrals for several bills including HB 13, which would amend Idaho Code section 49-6-66 on helmet requirements, and HB 14, proposing an Idaho Code cleanup chapter. House bills 9–12 were printed and referred to committees as noted in the session.
The Idaho House of Representatives on Jan. 15 completed first readings and referrals for multiple bills and announced committee meeting schedules.
The House reported that House bills 9, 10, 11 and 12 were printed and referred: HB 9 was referred to the Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee; HB 10 was referred to the Education Committee; and HB 11 and HB 12 were referred to the State Affairs Committee. The committee report was presented during the fifth order of business and the House approved the journal for the ninth legislative day before advancing to bill introductions.
Two bills were read with additional summary language in the transcript. House Bill 13, introduced by the Transportation and Defense Committee, is described in the reading as an act relating to rules of the road that would amend Section 49-6-66 of the Idaho Code to establish a specified exemption regarding safety helmet requirements and standards, with technical corrections and an emergency effective date. House Bill 14, introduced by the State Affairs Committee, was described as the “Idaho Code Cleanup Act,” proposing a new Chapter 37 to Title 67 of the Idaho Code to require state agencies to review Idaho Code and deliver a report; it also was presented as declaring an emergency and providing an effective date.
The House recorded that HB 13 and HB 14 were to be referred to the Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee for printing. The transcript does not include bill texts beyond these brief summaries; where details were not provided in the reading, the record shows “not specified.”
Committee schedules and announcements followed the bill readings. Several committee meeting times and rooms were announced for January 15 and 16, including House Appropriations, Education, Judiciary Rules and Administration, Commerce and Human Resources, Resources and Conservation, and others; the transcript lists named chairs for those committees but does not include the full texts of the bills or committee packets in the floor record.
Procedural actions tied to the bill readings included the committee report that the committee had printed HB 9–12 and the House’s formal referral of bills to the committees named in the reading. No floor debate on the merits of the bills appears in the recorded excerpt.
Votes and formal motions recorded that day included approval of the House journal (motion moved by Skogg and seconded by Gannon) and the motion to adjourn until 11 a.m. Jan. 16, which passed by voice vote. The roll at the start of the session was recorded as 65 present and 5 absent and excused.
