On Feb. 16, 2026 the Idaho House approved multiple bills on the floor: HB 5‑76 (used‑car dealer reimbursements) passed with a recorded vote; HB 5‑77 (plate renewal) passed by unanimous consent; and HB 6‑07 (restroom privacy by biological sex) passed after extended debate. Other bills were introduced or referred to committees.
The Idaho House handled a mix of consent items and contested measures on Feb. 16.
House Bill 5‑76, a measure expanding remedies for Idaho residents who buy defective used vehicles and allowing certain costs to be recovered from dealers, passed on a recorded vote. The clerk announced the tally as 53 yes, 14 no, and 3 absent or excused.
House Bill 5‑77, which removes a mandatory 10‑year license plate replacement so long as plates remain legible, was passed on the floor after unanimous consent; no printed roll‑call tally is included in the transcript excerpt.
House Bill 6‑07, concerning separation of restrooms and changing facilities by biological sex in many government facilities and public accommodations, was debated at length and the Speaker announced its passage. The transcript does not include a printed roll‑call tally for that final passage in the provided excerpt.
Separately, numerous bills were read into the record by committee (including bills addressing state budget provisions, elections, telecommunications, water appropriation, criminal code changes, and occupational licensing), and committee meeting schedules were announced before the House adjourned to reconvene Feb. 17, 2026.
The House adopted its journal and handled routine calendar management and unanimous‑consent requests during the session.
