Summary
On Jan. 17 the Idaho Senate introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 102 and several Senate bills and referred them to committees for printing or further action; a series of gubernatorial appointments were held for referral to the tenth order.
BOISE, Idaho — During its Jan. 17 session the Idaho Senate introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 102 and referred it to the Judiciary and Rules Committee for printing, and placed several newly introduced bills and gubernatorial appointments into their committee calendars.
The clerk read Senate Concurrent Resolution 102, described as a resolution "stating findings of the legislature and authorizing the legislative council to appoint a committee to undertake a study of the state of Idaho's response to the COVID‑19 pandemic." The resolution was referred to the Judiciary and Rules Committee for printing.
Committee reports noted that Senate Bills 1003 and 1004 were incorrectly printed; the clerk announced referrals for a series of first‑reading bills — Senate Bills 1005 through 1010 (covering topics including liens, construction contracts, public comment at school board meetings, firearms, and other matters) — to the Judiciary and Rules Committee for printing. Several gubernatorial appointments (including Steve Landon to the State Insurance Fund Board; Kurt Liebeck to the State Board of Education; George Lynch to the Idaho Energy Resources Authority; and Thomas J. Wilford to the Idaho Endowment Fund Investment Board) were reported by committees and held for referral to the tenth order of business for one legislative day.
These introductions and referrals were routine floor actions; no floor debate on the underlying bills or appointments appears in the transcript for Jan. 17.
