Legislation

HB 439 seeks to change the deadline to declare a political party — a move that could shut out hundreds of thousands of unaffiliated voters from participating in Idaho's primary elections.

This bill shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Critical Race Theory. Idaho has nondiscrimination statutes in place to protect students from discrimination. The vague language of the statute chills and censors discourse about implicit bias and racism and sexism in public schools and institutions.

HB 366 is the Idaho legislature's second iteration of a 6-week abortion ban. The previous iteration, SB 1085, was sent back to committee. Like SB 1085, this bill would ban abortions before most people even realize that they are pregnant. HB 366 also imposes felony liability on health care providers.

SB 1167 restricts voting access to those who live in nursing facilities, assisted living centers, or residential facilities and may need assistance to cast their absentee ballot.

HB 329 would require school boards to approve or reject the existence of any student group or organization within its district. Similar rules in other states have been used to ban groups that facilitate conversations about issues like LGBTQ+ rights, systemic racism, and intersectionality.

If triggered* this bill would ban abortion long before the point of viability and would undermine a pregnant person’s ability to make personal and private decisions that should be left to the pregnant person, their family, and their doctor.

HB 302 would require that all people seeking an abortion receive information about the development of children with Down syndrome and the resources that are available in both the private and public sector to assist parents of children with Down syndrome.

HB 255 would require Idahoans to provide a driver's license number or an identification card issued by the Idaho Department of Transportation to register to vote, and it eliminates an elector's ability to provide the last four digits of their social security number in lieu of a state issued I.D.
