Idaho Bills

Proposes a new Joint Rule 24 to designate certain days as constituent days during regular legislative sessions.

RS33637 / HCR038 This rule will provide for a four-day work week every two weeks of a legislative session. The first week of a session would be designated as an odd week. Week two would be considered an even week. Every odd week would have a five-day work week for House and Senate committees and for work in the House and Senate Chambers. On Friday of even weeks, there would be no official House or Senate committee meetings and no work done in either the House or Senate Chambers. Fridays of even weeks would be designated a constituent day. Work would still take place in the Statehouse on even week Fridays, but not official meetings requiring committee minutes nor chamber journal entries. For those legislators who live outside of the Boise area, they would also be working in their districts on the even week Friday constituent days.
