House committee reports include resolution condemning political violence; House approves journal and adjourns
Summary
On Jan. 20 the House received committee reports including a State Affairs resolution condemning political violence in 2025 and a concurrent resolution designating 2026 as a year of volunteerism; the House approved the prior journal by voice vote and adjourned to 11 a.m. Jan. 21, 2026.
The Idaho House on Jan. 20 heard committee reports that included a State Affairs resolution condemning political violence that occurred in 2025 and a concurrent resolution recognizing 2026 as the "year of volunteerism" in Idaho.
A committee member read House Resolution 19 into the record as a resolution "stating findings of the House of Representatives condemning political violence and crimes against the state that occurred in 2025, honoring the lives, leadership, and legacies of the public and civil servants and political activists who were killed or injured and calling upon all Idahoans regardless of background, party affiliation, or creed to reject all forms of such violence." The reporter recommended the resolution be printed and referred to Judiciary Rules and Administration for further action.
The committee reporter also read House Concurrent Resolution 22, which the reading described as declaring 2026 to be the year of volunteerism and recognizing related celebrations tied to the state's 250th anniversary observances; the reporter recommended print and referral.
Earlier in the session the House considered approval of the journal for the eighth legislative day. Committee member (reading the committee report) said the Judiciary Rules and Administration Committee had "read and approved the house journal of the eighth legislative day and recommend same be adopted as corrected," and the motion was moved by Scogg and seconded by Ganon; the House approved the journal by voice vote.
At the close of business Representative (speaker 8) moved that the House adjourn until 11 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026; Representative (speaker 6) seconded the motion. The presiding officer put the motion to a voice vote, which passed, and the House adjourned.
The session included multiple administrative announcements (committee meeting schedules and member notices) and concluded with the adjournment vote; committee hearings on the printed measures remain the next procedural step.
