House adopts journal, sets committee schedule and announces events
Summary
The House convened Jan. 14, 2026, adopted the House Journal of the second legislative day on a voice vote after a committee report, and heard multiple announcements about committee meetings and public events including a Boise Metro Chamber luncheon and a geoengineering presentation.
The House convened Jan. 14, 2026, and approved the House Journal of the second legislative day after a committee report recommended adoption, the presiding officer said.
A committee representative told members that "we have read and approved the House Journal of the second legislative day and recommend same be adopted as corrected," and the committee's report noted the motion was "moved by Scogg, seconded by Gannon," according to the record. The presiding officer called for those in favor to say "aye," and members responded in a voice vote; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally for the adoption.
The session opened with an invocation by the chaplain, who concluded, "In Jesus name, I pray. Amen." The House then advanced to announcements and the clerk read a slate of committee meeting schedules for Jan. 14–15, listing times, rooms, and chairs as entered into the record.
Among announcements, a lawmaker from District 20 said the Boise Metro Chamber luncheon would take place at 11:45 a.m. with buses available out front and included a brief aside: "Bobbie Jo is rad." Another lawmaker announced the Economic Outlook and Revenue Assessment Committee would meet at 1:15 p.m. in the JFAC Hearing Room. Members also publicized a geoengineering presentation at noon in the Lincoln Auditorium and a study session in the Jefferson Room scheduled for the following evening.
The presiding officer announced the House would adjourn at 11 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026. A motion to adjourn was seconded during the session, and the presiding officer described the motion as nondebatable and requiring a two-thirds majority; the transcript does not record a final vote on that motion.
The day's actions were primarily procedural: adoption of the journal, publication of committee meeting times and rooms, and member announcements of events and study sessions. The record contains committee meeting notices and event details for members and the public to follow up on.
