A new bill on restricting ballot initiatives? Please tell me this is a belated April Fools joke. #idleg #idpol

[Cheyenna McCurry @CheyennaMccurry]

@GovernorLittle vetoed S 1159 and plans to veto H 296. Both bills would have required more signatures in less time for the voter initiative/referedum process. Here's his letter: https://t.co/rcbuJShpqh #idleg #idpol

HR 7 failed to pass the House on a voice vote. #idleg #idpol

The House is now considering House Resolution 7 that would allow the federal government to regulate hemp development, production and research in Idaho. #idleg #idpol

[Cheyenna McCurry @CheyennaMccurry]

H 300 passed the House, 56-11-3. The bill that would allow ISP to issue permits for hemp transportation through Idaho was just reported out of the House Transportation Cmte this morning. It moves to the Senate. #idleg #idpol

[Cheyenna McCurry @CheyennaMccurry]

The substitution motion passed with a 5-4 vote, so the Cmte will not concur with House amendments for S 1204aa,aaH. #idleg #idpol

[Cheyenna McCurry @CheyennaMccurry]

Senate Health & Welfare Cmte is considering the House's amendments to S 1204 as amended now. Here's the amended bill: https://t.co/4TpfoSXSCf #idleg #idpol

[Cheyenna McCurry @CheyennaMccurry]

The Cmte will either concur or not concur with the House amendments for S 1204aa,aaH. Sen. Souza moved to concur, Sen. Jordan moved to not concur. They will vote on Sen. Jordan's substitute motion first. #idleg #idpol

H 300 was unanimously sent to the floor with recommendation that it passes. #idleg #idpol
