House State Affairs committee introduces RS32026C1 to clarify private‑counsel language
Summary
The House State Affairs Committee voted to introduce RS32026C1, an updated resolution from Representative Bruce that adjusts wording about "private counsel" and the process for citizens to appear before the Constitutional Defense Council.
The Idaho House State Affairs Committee on the record introduced RS32026C1, an updated resolution from Representative Bruce (District 23), after the sponsor explained edits to language describing "private counsel."
The resolution, presented by Representative Bruce, revises earlier draft language to replace a prior formulation that read "private attorney general" with wording referring to "private counsel and/or the attorney general," and corrects a misspelling of "counsel." Representative Bruce said the change clarifies that the provision creates a process for citizens to come before the Constitutional Defense Council when a constitutional issue arises, including cases brought by the federal government.
Representative Dygert moved to introduce RS32026C1. The committee approved the motion by voice vote; the chair announced "The motion is carried. It will be done." No recorded opposition was cited in the transcript.
The committee did not take further substantive action on the resolution at the hearing. The sponsor indicated the draft is an edit of a prior RS presented the previous week; no additional amendments or fiscal notes were discussed during the recorded exchange.
RS32026C1 will be scheduled for further consideration per normal committee procedure.
