Senate Judiciary & Rules Committee votes to send five RS items to print
Summary
At its March 13, 2026 meeting, the Senate Judiciary & Rules Committee approved a combined motion to send five requested statute (RS) items to print, covering legislative rules and several child-custody–related RSs, and carried the motion by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded.
The Senate Judiciary & Rules Committee convened on March 13, 2026, in Room WW54 and approved a combined motion to send five RS items to print, Chairman Lakey said. The RS items included RS 33251 (relating to legislative rules for the Senate Transportation Committee), RS 33684 (relating to child custody law when abuse is alleged), RS 33685 (relating to child custody law and visitation), RS 33686 (relating to substantially equal custody between parents), and RS 32892 (relating to the Idaho Code Cleanup Act, H 14 from the 2025 session).
Senator Ricks moved to send the five RSs to print and Senator Foreman seconded; "The motion carried by voice vote," the minutes state. The transcript and minutes record the procedural action but do not include substantive debate on any of the listed RS items nor a roll-call vote tally; the vote is recorded only as a voice vote. Sending an RS to print is a procedural step that makes the RS text available for committee review or further legislative steps but is not the same as passing a bill into law.
The committee met for a short session, beginning at 1:05 p.m. and adjourning at 1:15 p.m.; the minutes list Vice Chairman Shippy and Senators Ricks, Foreman, Coho (Lenney) and Keyser as present and Senators Lent, Wintrow and Ruchti as absent or excused. The sign-in sheet, testimonies and related materials will be retained with the minutes in the committee office and later filed with the Legislative Services Library.
