Bill Summary

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION STATING FINDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE AND PROVIDING FOR THE ADDITION OF A NEW JOINT RULE 24 OF THE JOINT RULES OF THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESEN- TATIVES OF THE STATE OF IDAHO.

AI Summary

This concurrent resolution, passed by both the Idaho Senate and House of Representatives, establishes new limitations on the number of draft legislation pieces and routing slips (RSs) that each legislator can request from the Legislative Services Office annually, setting a limit of 25 draft pieces and 10 RSs per member from July 1 to June 30. A routing slip, or RS, is a document used to track the progress of legislation through the legislative process. The resolution clarifies that revisions to the same draft legislation count as one piece, and revised RSs also count as a single RS. However, these limits do not apply if a written exception is granted by the Senate Pro Tempore or the Speaker of the House, nor do they apply to legislation concerning appropriations drafted by a specific division of the Legislative Services Office, amendments or "trailer bills" (bills that make minor changes to existing law), or legislation sponsored by interim legislative committees, reflecting the legislature's finding that such measures are necessary for efficient government and to align with the nature of a part-time, citizen legislature.
