Committee recommends HCR 17 condemning political violence be sent to the floor
Summary
HCR 17, which states legislative findings and denounces acts of political violence and intimidation (citing recent events in North Idaho), received a do-pass recommendation from the Senate State Affairs Committee and will go to the Senate floor.
The Senate State Affairs Committee voted March 19 to recommend HCR 17 to the full Senate with a do-pass recommendation. Senator Toews presented the resolution, saying it affirms that the Idaho Legislature values civility and debate and condemns the political violence and intimidation that recently occurred in North Idaho.
Norma Staaf testified in support and thanked law enforcement for their work at the Capitol. Senator Harris moved for a do-pass recommendation to the floor, and Senator Adams seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.
The resolution will be scheduled for floor consideration with the committee’s do-pass recommendation.
