Committee introduces RS 33,202 to set time limits for tents and broaden lost-and-found authority on Capitol Mall
Summary
A replacement RS on Capitol Mall security would impose time limits on symbolic tents and other structures, define camping and shelter canopies, and allow certain property to be held for at least 90 days; the committee voted to introduce the RS.
The vice chair presented RS 33,202 as a replacement bill on Capitol Mall security prepared jointly by the Department of Administration and Idaho State Police. The sponsor said the draft "enhances security by imposing time limits on how long symbolic tents and other structures may remain erected in the Capitol Mall" and that it "formally [defines] camping while still remaining side free canopies for shelter."
The presenter told the committee the bill would broaden what property may be held for at least 90 days so items left behind — sometimes "quasi garbage" — can be kept as lost and found for claim. After a short pause to allow members to read the draft, a committee member moved to introduce RS 33,202; the motion passed on a voice vote and no opposition was recorded.
