Idaho Votes

H516 prohibits the use of taxpayer resources to support teacher's unions. The law bars public school districts and charter schools from using public funds or resources for union activities, including payroll deduction of union dues, paid release time for union business, and the use of certain school resources to support union operations.

The Idaho State Senate passed H516 on April 1, 2026 by a vote of 20 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize the collection of union dues or political payments through government payroll systems. By ending taxpayer-administered payroll deductions for public-employee labor organizations and requiring greater financial transparency, this bill promotes accountability, protects workers from government-facilitated union influence, and helps ensure that public resources are not used to advance private or political interests.

S1423, known as the Financial Accountability Stablecoin Transaction (FAST) Act, would establish a legal and regulatory framework for the issuance and use of payment stablecoins in Idaho. The bill defines how stablecoins may be authorized, sets standards for issuers, provides regulatory oversight, and allows coordination with other states and federal regulators to facilitate the use of stablecoins in financial transactions.

The Idaho State Senate passed S1423 on March 23, 2026 by a vote of 22 to 13. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill expands government regulation, surveillance, and control over private financial activity under the guise of regulating stablecoins. By creating a state licensing scheme, imposing compliance requirements, and subjecting issuers to investigations, fees, and enforcement actions, S1423 moves digital assets further under government control and helps normalize the infrastructure for programmable money. This threatens financial privacy and free-market innovation while undermining the Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable searches and unwarranted government surveillance.

S1294 requires that all infants born in Idaho receive a hearing-loss screening before being discharged from a medical facility. For births occurring outside a medical facility, the bill requires the birth attendant to ensure the screening is completed. This requirement is funded through existing federal funds rather than a new state appropriation.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed S1294 on March 26, 2026 by a vote of 37 to 32. We have assigned pluses to the nays because decisions regarding an infant's medical care should remain with the parents, not the government. Mandating hearing-loss screenings infringes on parental rights and expands government involvement in private healthcare decisions. Additionally, relying on federal funds not authorized by Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution subjects the state to federal conditions and further erodes state sovereignty. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, and requiring babies to undergo this screening violates this constitutionally protected right.

H602 prohibits Idaho courts from enforcing or applying foreign laws when doing so would violate a person's rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution or the Idaho Constitution. The bill also establishes rules governing choice-of-law provisions, jurisdiction, and forum selection in contracts and legal proceedings to help ensure that foreign law cannot be used to circumvent constitutional protections.

The Idaho State Senate passed H602 on March 24, 2026 by a vote of 28 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the U.S. Constitution, under Article VI, is the supreme law of the land, and international bodies do not have lawful authority over the American people. Such entities promote policies—including Agenda 2030—that undermine U.S. and state sovereignty. States not only have the right, but the duty to resist and nullify unconstitutional mandates, especially those originating from foreign organizations.

H921 appropriates an additional $517,800 for the state Department of Education for fiscal year 2027. Most of the new funding comes from federal funds, and supports programs such as school-bus equipment, the Farm-to-School Grant Program, and the Child Nutrition Program.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed H921 on March 19, 2026 by a vote of 48 to 21. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill expands government funding and control over education—an area that properly belongs to parents and families, not the state. By allocating additional taxpayer dollars to a government-run education system, the Legislature reinforces a monopoly that crowds out private schools and homeschooling. True educational freedom cannot be achieved through compulsory, state-funded schooling, but only when parents are free to direct their children's education without state interference or coerced public financing. Additionally, accepting unconstitutional federal funds not authorized by Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution always comes with strings attached and erodes state sovereignty.

H752 prohibits a person from knowingly entering a public restroom or changing room designated for the opposite biological sex, and establishes criminal penalties for violations. The law applies to government buildings and places of public accommodation, and makes a first offense a misdemeanor and certain repeat offenses a felony.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed H752 on March 16, 2026 by a vote of 54 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the Left has promoted the false idea that people can choose their gender, pronouns, and biological sex. Scientifically and biblically, there are two sexes, and society should not be forced to conform to radical gender ideology. All people have a right—which the government has a duty to uphold—to protect themselves and their children from obscene, indecent, or inappropriate conduct. These rights are retained under the Ninth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

S1326 strengthens private property-rights by prohibiting government employees from entering private land that is not open to the public without the property owner's consent, a valid search warrant, or recognized legal exceptions such as exigent circumstances. The largely bill codifies Fourth Amendment protections for private land.

The Idaho State Senate passed S1326 on March 9, 2026 by a vote of 30 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this legislation protects private property from warrantless government intrusion, and reinforces the Fourth Amendment's safeguards against unreasonable searches. These protections apply to federal officers as well as state and local officials—and federal domestic law enforcement is not authorized under the Constitution. Requiring federal agents to coordinate with locally accountable law enforcement also helps preserve the independence and authority of local authorities. While the legislation's language is not perfect, it is a step in the right direction. Government employees should not be permitted to enter private land without the owner's consent or a valid warrant.

H650 reinforces Idaho's sovereignty by declaring that the state retains all powers not delegated to the federal government under the U.S. Constitution. The bill establishes a presumption that state jurisdiction applies within Idaho unless the Constitution clearly grants authority to the federal government, and affirms that federal actions exceeding constitutional authority are not binding on the state.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed H650 on March 5, 2026 by a vote of 62 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the several States have a duty to interpose on behalf of the American people and nullify all unconstitutional acts by the federal government. The U.S. Constitution established a limited federal government with "few and defined" powers. Whenever the federal government assumes undelegated powers, in flagrant violation of the 10th Amendment, interposition is necessary, and nullification of such lawless acts, required under Article VI, is the proper remedy.

S1269 revises Idaho's cloud-seeding laws by establishing clearer definitions, authorizing the Idaho Water Resource Board to oversee cloud-seeding programs, requiring public reporting and meetings, and setting standards for the use of state funds and liability protections. The bill would formalize Idaho's role in supporting cloud seeding.

The Idaho State Senate passed S1269 on March 3, 2026 by a vote of 25 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation embraces experimental and largely unaccountable weather-modification practices that pose risks to public health, property, and civil liberties. Federal agencies, corporations, and globalist climate activists are increasingly promoting geoengineering and atmospheric manipulation as tools to advance the false climate-change narrative and justify sweeping controls on energy and human behavior. Lawmakers should protect citizens and taxpayers from unproven experiments that expand government power while offering no guaranteed public benefit.

S1331, known as the 2026 Idaho Rescissions Act, reduces state appropriations for fiscal year 2026 by approximately $193 million, including about $131 million from the General Fund. The measure codifies the governor's previously ordered three-percent budget reductions for most state agencies and adds an additional one-percent cut for many agencies.

The Idaho State Senate passed S1331 on March 2, 2026 by a vote of 18 to 17. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this legislation reduces government spending, limits the growth of state bureaucracy, and encourages fiscal responsibility. State government should live within its means, eliminate unnecessary expenditures, and avoid placing additional burdens on taxpayers.

H637 expands Idaho's recognition of gold and silver as legal tender by providing that both foreign and domestically minted gold and silver coin and specie may be used as legal tender to the extent permitted by the U.S. Constitution. The bill also clarifies that no person or business can be required to accept gold or silver as payment.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed H637 on February 26, 2026 by a vote of 55 to 13. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill is an important step toward restoring sound, constitutional money and reestablishing gold and silver as legal tender, in accordance with Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution. States can and should act now to secure Americans' financial freedom and privacy by both ending the Federal Reserve's unconstitutional monopoly on money and thwarting government plans to impose a central bank digital currency.

HCR25 applies to Congress for an Article V convention to propose a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The resolution calls for a convention "limited" to requiring that—except during a national emergency—annual federal spending not exceed annual federal revenues, along with related fiscal restraints.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed HCR25 on February 6, 2026 by a vote of 36 to 34. We have assigned pluses to the nays because efforts to call an Article V "convention of the states" must be resisted. A constitutional convention (Con-Con) would have the power to make major changes to the U.S. Constitution, or even completely rewrite it. Instead of failing to uphold their oath of office and risking the danger of a "runaway convention," which could act as a "trojan horse" to destroy many of the Constitution's limitations on government power, state legislators should act to immediately nullify all unconstitutional federal laws. Whenever the federal government assumes undelegated powers, in blatant violation of the 10th Amendment, nullification of such lawless acts is the proper remedy. Article V was designed to correct potential errors or defects in the Constitution, not to "misconstrue or abuse its powers." We must use Article VI to enforce the Constitution, rather than use Article V to alter or abolish it.

S1198 prohibits “diversity, equity, and inclusion” policies or activities at public institutions of higher education.

The Senate passed S1198 on April 4, 2025, by a vote of  23 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement promotes divisive myths and false historical narratives propagated by critical race theorists, feminists, and LGBTQIA+ activists. It is nothing but a modern and subtle outgrowth of efforts by earlier Marxist radicals to alter or destroy the American way of life through a “long march through the institutions.”  The goal is a complete disruption of our moral, social, political order so as to impose conformity on citizens and end all opposition to the welfare state—the modus operandi of totalitarian regimes for centuries. Justice in the hands of “social justice” warriors seeking parity in every aspect of life will only lead to tyranny. DEI must die, along with any other vain attempts to compel “equal outcomes.” Our Constitution’s Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment were written to promote the “general Welfare” of all Americans by means of securing each person’s “unalienable Rights” to life, liberty, and property.

S1210, the “Idaho Medical Freedom Act,” prohibits governmental entities, businesses, and schools from mandating vaccines, mask requirements, or other “medical interventions.”

The House passed S1210 on April 4, 2025, by a vote of 44 to 23. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because neither private nor governmental “public health” mandates are lawful. Every individual has a fundamental right to medical freedom, as no person or entity has legitimate authority to rule over another’s non-injurious health care decisions. Arbitrarily compelling someone to cover their face, quarantine, or be vaccinated under the guise of “preventative” medical treatment violates a person’s natural rights retained via the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment.

  S1199 would exempt informed parental consent for health care in situations that involve a minor child who is “pregnant or has a child,” has a “psychological illness or injury,” or is “accessing the services of the Idaho crisis and suicide hotline.” The Senate passed S1199 on March 31, 2025, by a vote of 26 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill egregiously restricts a parent’s ability to make medical decisions for their minor child—not matter how young—if that child is (or claims to be) pregnant or experiencing a “mental health crisis.” In addition, it does not prevent the preemptive use of hormonal birth-control drugs or devices, particularly high-dose “morning-after” pills (e.g., Plan B), which function not only as “contraceptives,” but also as abortifacients, thereby resulting in “silent abortions.” Given that the care of human life is the greatest responsibility of government, Idaho ought to forbid all methods of abortion entirely, upholding the sanctity of life of every person. At the same time, lawmakers must secure the decision-making authority of parents over their minor children. Parental rights, as with all other fundamental rights, are protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

H96 bans state and local governmental entities from displaying the LGBTQ+ “Pride” flag and other non-official flags.

The Senate passed H96 on March 26, 2025, by a vote of 20 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because public display of the LGBTQ+ “Pride” flag should be illegal. Flags are age-old symbols of sovereignty, allegiance, and honor. Unlike the “Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands,” the rainbow-colored “Pride” flag represents the “abomination” of homosexuality and other sexual perversion. The anti-Christian and anti-American LGBTQ+movement is part of a rival global totalitarian and invading force that has openly mocked and declared war against the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” In Marxist fashion, it seeks to stake a territorial claim over all of society through a “long march through the institutions,” with a specific goal of indoctrinating young children. Our nation has been warned that “Pride goes before destruction,” and if “We the People” ever forget that we are “one Nation under God,” then we will be a “nation gone under.” This explains why the U.S. Flag Code has always and only required that the U.S. flag should be displayed “daily” at “every public institution” across the country, including “during school days in or near every schoolhouse.”

HCR10 would make three separate applications to Congress to call a “convention of the states” under Article V of the U.S. Constitution.

The House rejected HCR10 on March 12, 2025, by a vote of 26 to 44. We have assigned pluses to the nays because efforts to call an Article V “convention of the states” must be resisted. A constitutional convention (Con-Con) would have the power to make major changes to the U.S. Constitution, or even completely rewrite it. Instead of failing to uphold their oath of office and risking the danger of a “runaway convention,” which could act as a “trojan horse” to destroy many of the Constitution’s limitations on government power, state legislators should act to immediately nullify all unconstitutional federal laws. Whenever the federal government assumes undelegated powers, in blatant violation of the 10th Amendment, nullification of such lawless acts is the proper remedy. Article V was designed to correct potential errors or defects in the Constitution, not to “misconstrue or abuse its powers.” We must use Article VI to enforce the Constitution, rather than use Article V to alter or abolish it.

H157 would order the collection of a DNA sample from any person who is convicted of, or pleads guilty to, any “serious crime,” including certain misdemeanors.

The House rejected H157 on March 7, 2025, by a vote of 34 to 34. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill changes the definition of “serious crimes” from felonies to misdemeanors, even in cases of “withheld judgment” and regardless of “the sentence imposed or disposition rendered.” Moreover, the requirement to provide a DNA sample would also be retroactive, applying to those who are currently imprisoned or confined. Since many misdemeanor convictions are the result of negotiated plea deals, this legislation would effectively ignore those agreements, amounting to an even greater undue expansion of the statewide DNA database system and the dangerous threat it poses to individual privacy. Lawmakers should support, not undermine the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

H37 designates execution by firing squad as the primary method of administering the death penalty.

The Senate passed H37 on March 5, 2025, by a vote of 28 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the firing squad is a quick, readily available, and cost-effective means of carrying out the death penalty, making it a better deterrent to capital crimes than lethal injection. Importantly, the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment makes mention of “capital” crimes, as justice is the overall purpose of government and certain “infamous” or heinous acts (e.g., murder or rape), demand the death penalty. Criminal codes before and during the time of the American Founding, such as the 1641 Laws of New England, confirm that no one should be allowed to violate the personhood of another or shed innocent blood, for mankind was created in the image of God. Thus, the “due process” and “equal protection” requirements in the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment justly follow the Common Law retributive principle that “the punishment should fit the crime.”

H40 reduces Idaho’s income tax rate on individual and corporations to 5.3%, while eliminating the calculation of capital gains or losses for precious metals.

The Senate passed H40 on March 4, 2025, by a vote of 27 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the income tax is an immoral, anti-constitutional act of government-imposed theft that takes from people the wages they have rightfully earned. It turns citizens into slaves. A person’s property, including their income, belongs solely to them—not the state. The Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment expressly affirm that “No State” shall “deprive any person” of “liberty, or property.” Idaho must reject tyrannical, big government by protecting property rights and guaranteeing “equal protection of the laws.”

H177, creates the “Idaho Constitutional Money Act of 2025,” declaring “gold and silver coin” as legal tender.

The House passed H177 on February 25, 2025, by a vote of 66 to 3. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill is a necessary step toward restoring sound money and adhering to the U.S. Constitution’s monetary provisions. Article 1, Section 10, of the Constitution says that “No State shall … make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” States can and must act now to protect Americans’ financial freedom and privacy by both ending the Federal Reserve’s unconstitutional monopoly on money and thwarting government plans to impose a Central Bank Digital Currency.

  HJR1 would propose to amend Article IX, Section 9, of the Idaho Constitution to remove the provision that allows the Legislature to require public school attendance. The House failed to adopt HJR1 on February 19, 2025, by a vote of 46 to 23 (two-thirds vote needed). We have assigned pluses to the ayes because education is not the role of government—it is the responsibility of a child’s parents or family. Not only do parents have a fundamental right to educate their children freely, but schools can and should be privatized, without relying on public funds. If not dismantled, the government’s monopoly on pre-K-12 education will continue to displace traditional private schools and homeschooling in favor of universal state-sponsored schooling. The best “school choice,” by far, is for parents to choose not to place their child’s education in the hands of the state. Educational and economic freedom cannot be achieved by forcing other citizens to give up their hard-earned tax dollars for all that now entails a compulsory, failing, and government-run school system.

HJM1 urges the Supreme Court of the United States to overturn the decision in Obergefell v. Hodges and “restore the natural definition of marriage, a union of one man and one woman.”

The House adopted HJM1 on January 27, 2025, by a vote of 46 to 24. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges recognizing “same-sex marriage” is egregiously illegitimate and unconstitutional. It mistakenly assumes that marriage, along with morality itself, can be determined exclusively, even frivolously, by the government. Yet, marriage, being coeval with mankind, is ordained by God—not civil authorities. Unlike homosexuality, which is contrary to the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” marriage is the most sacred of all human institutions. For more than two thousand years, it has been honored as a lifelong covenant between one man and woman, whose one-flesh union serves as the foundation of the family. There is no right to “same-sex marriage” in the U.S. Constitution because there can be no appeal to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” apart from the moral sanctions set forth by our “Creator” who grants us with “certain unalienable Rights.” Further, the 10th Amendment is clear that the “powers not delegated” to the federal government (e.g., Supreme Court), such as the authority to regulate marriage, are reserved to the “States, or to the people.”

H421 provides a legal definition for “gender” that is consistent with a person’s “biological sex.”

The Senate passed H421 on April 2, 2024, by a vote of 26 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the LGBTQ+ movement is absurdly attempting to erase basic matters of scientific fact through the conflation of biological sex and fictional “gender identity” constructs (e.g., “transgender,” “nonbinary,” “intersex,” or “two-spirit”). As affirmed in the Declaration of Independence, our “unalienable Rights” cannot be defined apart from the self-evident truth—found in the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God"—that humanity is comprised of persons born distinctly male or female and created equally in the image of “their Creator.” The logic from radical social theorists, who suppress the obvious and immutable, is quite simple: No “Creator,” no rights. Each State therefore has a compelling interest and duty to protect against gross efforts to redefine human rights and reinterpret the Constitution based on false premises, such as “sexual fluidity.”

S1296 would protect cryptocurrency by preventing state and local government from imposing undue or discriminatory regulations against blockchain and other forms of distributed ledger technology.

The Senate failed to pass S1296 on April 2, 2024, by a vote of 17 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill would protect against efforts to ban free-market-based cryptocurrencies, which depend on a decentralized financial transaction network. As such, it acts as an important barrier to an exclusively government-controlled Central Bank Digital Currency. A CBDC would be an unconstitutional and intolerable expansion of tyranny under the Federal Reserve—presenting a significant danger to Americans’ civil liberties by decimating personal privacy and allowing for a full-fledged surveillance state.

H633 expands Medicaid to offer up to 12 months of postpartum coverage.

The Senate passed H633 on March 19, 2024, by a vote of 24 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because neither health care nor social welfare is the legitimate object of government. Medicaid, like other so-called "entitlement programs," discriminatorily and unjustly provides benefits to “eligible” low-income persons, who have little or no tax liability, at the expense of other hard-working citizens. It is financed in large part by immoral and anti-constitutional forms of taxation (e.g., personal or corporate income taxes) that take from people the wages they have rightfully earned. Idaho should reject big government and reckless, out-of-control spending. Medicaid is an ever-expanding and unsustainable Federal-State program that is not authorized under Article I, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution. 

H585 would ban the use of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in Idaho.

The House failed to pass H585 on March 19, 2024, by a vote of 30 to 40. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because a Central Bank Digital Currency would be an unconstitutional and intolerable expansion of tyranny under the Federal Reserve—presenting a significant danger to Americans’ civil liberties by decimating personal privacy and allowing for a full-fledged surveillance state. According to Article 1, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution, “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” The States can and must act now to avow their adherence to constitutionally sound money.

HJM11 calls for the impeachment of President Biden over his “high crime of willfully failing to enforce existing immigration law,” and for Congress to tighten border security.

The House failed to adopt HJM11 on March 11, 2024, by a vote of 34 to 34. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because not only does President Biden warrant impeachment for “sanctioning an invasion of the United States,” but officials in every branch of the federal government have engaged in this “lawlessness and treason.” Instead of failing to uphold their oath of office, members of Congress and the President should support and defend the Constitution by ending the crisis of illegal migration. Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution gives Congress power to “establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization,” as well as to call forth “the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions,” whereas Article II, Section 4, provides that “all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of…high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

S1234 requires health benefit plans to cover a six-month supply of prescription contraceptives.

The House passed S1234 on March 11, 2024, by a vote of 35 to 34. We have assigned pluses to the nays because hormonal birth control drugs and devices, particularly high-dose "morning-after" pills, can and do prevent uterine implantation of developing preborn children, causing them to function not only as “contraceptives,” but also as abortifacients, thereby resulting in "silent abortions." Given that the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government, Idaho ought to forbid abortion and other grotesque methods of population control entirely, upholding the sanctity of life for every person. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

H602 bars the use of public funds or resources to support teachers unions.

The House failed to pass H602 on March 7, 2024, by a vote of 31 to 38. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because a child’s education is not the role of government—rather, it is the responsibility of his or her family. Absolutely no money should be extorted from taxpayers so that "woke," corrupt, and power-hungry teachers unions (e.g., NEA or AFT) can continue to preach socialism in the classroom. The best "school choice" by far, is for parents to choose not to send their children or their hard-earned dollars to any government school. Educational and economic freedom cannot be achieved if the people of Idaho consent to their legislators forcing their fellow citizens to fund all that now entails a compulsory, failing, and government-run K-12 school system.

S1252 establishes the “Defend the Guard Act,” which prohibits the Idaho National Guard from being mobilized for active duty combat unless Congress has passed an official declaration of war or taken another official constitutional action.

The Senate passed S1252 on March 4, 2024, by a vote of 27 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because Article I, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution expressly asserts that “Congress,” not the President, “shall have power…to provide for the common defence.” Only Congress, as explained and limited by succeeding Clauses 11, 12, and 15, is granted the specified powers to “declare war,” “raise and support Armies,” and “provide for calling forth the Militia.”

H493 prohibits state and local government from mandating the use of face masks, face shields, or other face coverings to prevent or slow the spread of a disease.

The House passed H493 on February 16, 2024, by a vote of 46 to 24. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because public mask mandates are unconstitutional and unscientific. An individual’s non-injurious personal health care decisions should be considered private matters not under federal, state, or local jurisdiction in the United States. Compelling every person to cover their face, quarantine, or be vaccinated under the guise of "preventive medical treatment" violates the fundamental rights of the people protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment.

S1234 requires health benefit plans to cover a six-month supply of prescription contraceptives. The Senate passed S1234 on February 8, 2024, by a vote of 19 to 16. We have assigned pluses to the nays because hormonal birth control drugs and devices, particularly high-dose "morning-after" pills, can and do prevent uterine implantation of developing preborn children, causing them to function not only as “contraceptives,” but also as abortifacients, thereby resulting in "silent abortions." Given that the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government, Idaho ought to forbid abortion and other grotesque methods of population control entirely, upholding the sanctity of life for every person. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

H421 provides a legal definition for “gender” that is consistent with a person’s “biological sex.”

The House passed H421 on February 7, 2024, by a vote of 54 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the LGBTQ+ movement is absurdly attempting to erase basic matters of scientific fact through the conflation of biological sex and fictional “gender identity” constructs (e.g., “transgender,” “nonbinary,” “intersex,” or “two-spirit”). As affirmed in the Declaration of Independence, our “unalienable Rights” cannot be defined apart from the self-evident truth—found in the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God"—that humanity is comprised of unique, but complementary, individual persons born distinctly male or female and created equally in the image of “their Creator.” Each State therefore has a compelling interest and duty to protect against gross efforts to redefine human rights and reinterpret the Constitution based on false premises, such as “sexual fluidity.”

S1216 provides that the Department of Transportation “shall revoke or cancel” the driver’s license of a person who “is not lawfully present in the United States.”

The Senate passed S1216 on February 1, 2024, by a vote of 26 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because persons unlawfully present in the United States ought not to be permitted sanctuary or residency in Idaho, let alone be considered eligible for a state-issued form of identification or license. Rather than pursue blatantly unconstitutional and anti-American policies that undermine the rule of law and erode the value of citizenship, each of the several States should use its powers reserved under the 10th Amendment to end the illegal-migrant invasion and provide for the public safety.

S1130 prohibits certain actions related to coronavirus, including vaccine mandates.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed S1130 on March 30, 2023 by a vote of 43 to 27. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because an individual’s personal health care decisions should not be the object of government, nor be under its federal, state, or local jurisdictions in the United States. Forcing an individual to produce their vaccination status would be a violation of their fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

H295 is known as the 2nd Amendment Privacy Act, which prohibits credit card companies from assigning a unique credit card code to firearms retailers that sell weapons and ammunition.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed H295 on March 30, 2023 by a vote of 65 to 4. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the workaround by credit card companies to track ammunition and firearms purchases violates several constitutionally-protected rights, including the First, Second and Fourth Amendments. This is a large invasion of privacy, opens the door for illegal searches, and potentially deters people from making firearm purchases.

H295 is known as the 2nd Amendment Privacy Act, which prohibits credit card companies from assigning a unique credit card code to firearms retailers that sell weapons and ammunition.

The Idaho State Senate passed H295 on March 29, 2023 by a vote of 34 to 1We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the workaround by credit card companies to track ammunition and firearms purchases violates several constitutionally-protected rights, including the First, Second and Fourth Amendments. This is a large invasion of privacy, opens the door for illegal searches, and potentially deters people from making firearm purchases.

S1203 provides $28,025,000 one-time for childcare grants. Additionally, this bill also includes a reduction of $14,394,000 to the Department of Health and Welfare in the Division of Welfare.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed S1203 on March 28, 2023 by a vote of 43 to 27. We have assigned pluses to the nays because it is not the government's or taxpayers' responsibility to fund everyone else's childcare. This type of grant resembles socialism by subsidizing childcare, which interferes with the free market economy.

H142 amends the Idaho Scrap Dealers Act, which requires scrap dealers to maintain a precise documentation of every transaction related to nonferrous metals. Such metals encompass aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, tin, as well as valuable precious metals. This law adds catalytic converters to the list for documentation.

The Idaho State Senate passed H142 on March 28, 2023 by a vote of 29 to 4. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the Idaho Scrap Dealers Act interferes with commerce, and adding items to that list furthers that interference. No person or business shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, which is covered under the fifth and 14th Amendments.

The Idaho State Senate passed S1203 on March 27, 2023 by a vote of 21 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the nays because it is not the government's or taxpayers' responsibility to fund everyone else's childcare. This type of grant resembles socialism by subsidizing childcare, which interferes with the free market economy.

H71 amends the existing state ban on female genital mutilation to also include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex reassignment surgeries when administered to children struggling with gender dysphoria.

The Idaho State Senate passed H71 on March 27, 2023 by a vote of 22 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because Marxists and Leftists are pushing their woke agenda — telling everyone that one can choose their own gender and decide what their pronouns are. They are pushing this on younger generations, which is pure indoctrination.

H124 removes student IDs as a valid form of voter identification.

The Idaho State Senate passed H124 on March 9, 2023 by a vote of 28 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our voter ID laws is crucial to preserving our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. It would be an infringement on our rights to allow any ineligible elector to vote and student IDs are not sound forms of identification.

H179 prohibits the use of ranked choice voting in Idaho.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed H179 on March 7, 2023 by a vote of 56 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the nays because ranked choice voting undermines the electorate’s ability to choose the best candidate in elections, threatens election integrity, and is designed to elect moderate-to-leftist politicians, which generally means they do not wholeheartedly adhere to the Constitution.

H180 would have authorized the State of Idaho to hold gold and silver reserves.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed H180 on March 2, 2023 by a vote of 40 to 29. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this strengthens monetary values in Idaho and is another step closer to returning the gold standard.

S1038 is the "Freedom in Education Savings Accounts (FIE)" bill and would have created savings accounts for Idaho families' K-12 children. The act would allow government funds to "follow students" to any school of their choosing.

The Idaho State Senate rejected S1038 on February 27, 2023 by a vote of 12 to 23. We have assigned pluses to the nays because all government money comes with strings attached. ESAs might sound good in theory, but they expand government involvement into all aspects of education — including homeschools and religious schools — and can potentially affect rules and curriculum. We encourage all parents to get their children out of the government school system and instead pursue sound alternatives such as homeschooling and patriotic private schools, where government funds are not involved.

H701 allocates American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money to create grants for nonprofit developers to create affordable housing. This is a government-controlled housing program that benefits very low income individuals and is a large expansion of government.

The Idaho State Senate passed H701 on March 22, 2022 by a vote of 26 to 9.  We have assigned pluses to the nays because this law greatly expands the size of government, creating a program that only benefits one faction of the population. The federal government unconstitutionally passed the American Rescue Plan Act. On top of that, the drivers of this believe that housing is a human right as stated in Article 25 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Rights.

H761 strengthens the list of required documents to register to vote, to prove applicants’ identity, address, and citizenship. It also removes the option of signing an affidavit to prove one’s identity when voting in lieu of providing definitive identification. Additionally, requires new driver’s licenses and ID cards to have “USA” printed on them if the applicant is a U.S. citizen to differentiate between citizens and noncitizens more easily. Lastly, it removes student IDs as a valid form of identification to vote, ending a loophole that allowed out-of-state student to vote in Idaho.

The Idaho State House or Representatives passed H761 on March 14, 2022 by a vote of 47 to 21.  We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because strengthening our voter ID and election registration laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. It would be an infringement on our rights to allow any ineligible elector to vote.

H675 makes it a felony for parents of trans children to receive puberty blockers and other hormonal treatments from their medical provider. This bill also prohibits doctors from performing sex reassignment surgery on minors.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed H675 on March 8, 2022 by a vote of 55 to 13.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the left has been promoting radical Marxist ideas for years. This indoctrination is letting people believe that they can choose their pronouns and that they can be transgender. Scientifically and biblically, there are two genders. Minors are not old enough to consent and should not be able to choose to be something that they are scientifically not.
