Legislative Update - Week of 1/13/20

Posted by: Avery Roberts on Jan 15, 2020

The Idaho Legislature is in its second week of the 2020 session. The House and Senate Committees are largely focused on reviewing the totality of administrative rules after they failed to renew them last year. But some bills have been introduced.
