Legislative Update - Week Two

Posted by: Avery Roberts on Jan 20, 2021

 
 
Bills are continuing to be introduced, many relating to states of emergency, and many committees are reviewing legislative rules during the second week of the 2021 Idaho Legislative Session. 

This year, the legislative body includes seventeen attorneys, six in the Senate and eleven in the House of Representatives. Experienced lawyers play a crucial role in our citizen legislature by sharing their legal knowledge and expertise with their colleagues. Below is the contact information for each of these members, including some familiar ITLA faces.

As a reminder, there are many new faces this year, and with the additional obstacles COVID-19 has placed on us to lobby in-person, we need your help more than ever. To make certain each lawmaker has contact with competent lawyers from around the state, we need you to take a moment to tell us who you know and are willing to contact regarding legislation if you haven’t yet

We appreciate your willingness to be a part of this work. Please give us a call at (208) 345-1890 or send an email to itla@itla.org if you have any questions.
