Legislation

HR 5 is a House resolution that encourages the recognition of January 22nd as Idaho’s Day of Tears. The resolution encourages Idahoans to lower the flag to half-staff to “mourn” the abortions that have occurred since the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade.

SR 101 is a Senate resolution that encourages the recognition of January 22nd as Idaho’s Day of Tears. The resolution encourages Idahoans to lower the flag to half-staff to “mourn” the abortions that have occurred since the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade.

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.
