'State Legislators Back NEPA Alternative After Years of Attacks and Condemnation of the Nation's Bedrock Environmental Law' would have also been a great title for this article @lfinneytweets #idleg

[IORC @IORCinfo]

“It makes me angry, and it makes me frustrated to see people in positions of power deny the reality and the severity of climate change,” said Marielena Vega, a farm worker organizer with the Idaho Organization of Resource Councils, at the Tuesday demonstration #RallyForResilience

[Idaho Capital Sun @IdahoCapitalSun]

Organizer Marielena Vega said extreme heat is making summers increasingly difficult for farmworkers in Idaho, who face rising threats of heat stroke and dehydration along with the ever-present concern of pesticide exposure.

Eye on Boise: Eastern Idaho senator presents restricted driver’s license bill for undocumented residents; link to full story by @KelcieMMorris from the @IdahoCapitalSun you can also find it in today's @TheIdahoPress #idleg #idpol https://t.co/wtj79i6mUr

Secretary of State Phil McGrane testified in support of the bill, saying that of the nearly 600,000 Idahoans who voted in the November 2022 election, only 104 voters used a student ID. #idleg #idpol https://t.co/hf3ko1Efxr

Another attempt to restrict local jurisdictions from making the energy and efficiency decisions that best meet their needs.

Last year it was building codes.

The new Idaho bill is nearly identical to a 2021 Wyoming law and includes similar language as earlier bills from Missouri, Texas, Georgia and other states. #idleg https://t.co/XOjMD7EMdF

[CVI - Conservation Voters for Idaho @cvidaho]

Between attempts to undermine the Idaho constitutional right to the ballot initiative, to proposed banning of crucial voter ID types, this week in the statehouse has been action-packed (if not exactly pleasant.) Get the latest at our weekly #IDLEG update!

After a marathon of a meeting, the Committee sent the resolution out for amendments. #IDleg #idpol https://t.co/3BCzryopla

[IORC @IORCinfo]

@RuthBrownNews Did they make it through the entire agenda? Or will the appointments be held?

[Clark Corbin @clarkcorbin]

The Idaho House State Affairs Committee has introduced a new bill that would remove student IDs as an acceptable form of ID to vote in Idaho. Bill would also do away with voters ability to sign an affidavit to prove their identity. #idleg #idpol

[Ruth Brown @RuthBrownNews]

Sen. State Affairs just introduced a joint resolution that would ask voters whether they wanted to amend the constitution around ballot initiatives. This comes after the ISC shot down SB 1110, calling it unconstitutional. Here's that history #idleg #idpol https://t.co/x3x2G1X8Tz

[IORC @IORCinfo]

The perennial debate about whether the people deserve the right to citizen-led initiatives continues on...

[Ruth Brown @RuthBrownNews]

The Supreme Court said the 2021 changes were "an infringement on the peoples’ right to legislate independent of the legislature.” 
Okuniewicz’s resolution would change the parameters of that constitutional right.
