Idaho House committee introduces four RS measures, including 30-day vehicle registration and HOA chicken rules
Summary
A House committee voted to introduce four RS measures. Notable items: RS 32655 would require new Idaho residents to obtain vehicle registration and a driver’s license within 30 days; RS 32657C1 narrows a proposed animal provision to chickens and removes a numeric limit, deferring specifics to homeowners associations.
An Idaho House committee voted to introduce four RS measures and carried motions to advance each by voice vote.
Representative Joe Palmer of District 20 in Meridian introduced RS 32655, saying, "What this piece of legislation does is makes it so that when somebody moves into Idaho, they have to get a registration for their vehicle and for their car for their vehicle and a driver's license within 30 days." The committee carried the motion to introduce the measure by voice vote.
Representative Steve Tanner of District 13 in Nampa introduced RS 32657C1 and said the draft focuses only on chickens. Tanner told the committee, "No, it's just chickens. In fact, if you look at, the RS on first page lines 10 through 13, it specifies the definition of chickens." He said the draft removed a prior numeric limit and would leave details to homeowners associations, stating, "there's there's no limit on this 1...we're saying we just want the HOAs to, allow homeowners to have chicken." Committee members asked clarifying questions about the scope; Representative Monks asked whether a limit on the number of chickens remained, and Representative Crane confirmed the sponsor's answer.
Representative Charlie Shepherd of District 7 asked the panel to introduce RS 32633, described briefly as rules for the Resources Conservation Committee; Representative Crane moved to introduce RS 32633 and recommended it be sent to the second-reading calendar. The committee approved the motion by voice vote.
A motion to introduce RS 32627 was also made and carried by voice vote; no details about the measure were provided on the record during this session.
All four motions were approved by voice vote with no roll-call tallies recorded on the transcript. The committee adjourned "subject to call of the chair."
