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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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 House of Representatives passed H142 on March 20, 2023 by a vote of 63 to 6. 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.

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.

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.

HCR40 terminated the long lasting COVID-19 emergency order implemented by the governor on March 13, 2020. The Governor’s extreme emergency declaration was used to slow the spread of the coronavirus and to protect the most vulnerable in society. The Governor violated the law by extending the order for longer than 30 days.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed HCR40 on March 7, 2022 by a vote of 42 to 25. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the republican form of government in Idaho, which is guaranteed to each state under Article IV, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, requires a limitation and separation of powers. Our founding fathers believed that checks and balances in government are essential to keeping our elected officials in check with the Constitution to prevent any unconstitutional government overreach.

H475 allows a group of people to assemble with firearms or parade in public with firearms. Under current state statute, it is illegal for people to “associate together as a military company or organization” or “parade in public with firearms in any city or town of this state” unless they are “called into service of the state.” Ultimately, this bill allows for private militias to protect against tyranny.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed H475 on February 23, 2022 by a vote of 57 to 13.  We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. The Constitution does not state where you can or cannot possess a firearm or limit how many people can gather with them.

H631 prohibits local governments, health officers or the state from mandating facemasks, face shields, or any other face coverings for the purpose of the prevention the spread of a contagious illness or disease.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed H631 on February 21, 2022 by a vote of 46 to 24. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because individuals have the right to decide what is best for their health and their safety. The government has no right to force someone to implement these draconian orders. This is a violation of an individual’s fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities protected by the Bill of Rights.

HB454 makes the Federal Commission for the Blind and the Visually Impaired the sole agency responsible for the vocation and other rehabilitation of the blind, which is provided in the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and requires the state to comply with all subsequent amendments.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed HB545 on January 31, 2022 by a vote of 40 to 30. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the legislature is giving up state sovereignty and giving the federal government more control. The U.S. Constitution does not authorize the Federal Commission for the Blind and the Visually Impaired, and the Legislature is disregarding the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution.

HB500 prevents biological males from participating in women's sports.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed HB500 on March 18, 2020 by a vote of 54 to 16. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill defends women's organized sports in public institutions from unfair and inappropriate participation by biological men. This bill asserts that there are "inherent differences between men and women...which result in men being able to generate higher speed and power during physical activity." This bold bill is a strong defense of the integrity of women's games while pushing back on the radical gender ideology overtaking our public and private institutions.

HB473 changes regulations as related to credit unions, but not financial institutions more generally.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed HB473 on March 3, 2020 by a vote of 51 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill creates onerous new legal and administrative burdens on credit unions. This bill would hold credit unions to a different and higher standard than for-profit financial institutions and conventional banks. This bill also expands the power of the state to investigate credit unions, their service providers, and even their customers. “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures," is guaranteed in the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

HB432 creates the Criminal Justice Integrated Data System and the Data Oversight Council.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed HB432 on February 28, 2020 by a vote of 35 to 23. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill would create an unnecessary new government program called the Criminal Justice Integrated Data System. It is designed to house and transmit sensitive information between government agencies. This new program requires dedicated staffing and financial expenditure, while also creating new security vulnerabilities. It represents an unnecessary – and potentially dangerous – expansion of government.

SB1029 would expand public school administrative bureaucracy in the form of creating a "School Turnaround Committee" in failing schools.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed SB1029 on March 22, 2019 by a vote of 20 to 49. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill would mandate that failing Idaho public schools individually hire a "School Turnaround Professional," and form a "School Turnaround Committee." It would also create a statewide "School Leadership Development Program" to hire and train new bureaucrats. Public schools are failing in America, in part, due to bureaucratic excess. This bill attempts to fix a school system by doubling down on an existing problem.

HB206 lowers the age limit for concealed carrying of a handgun inside of city limits.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed HB206 on March 14, 2019 by a vote of 53 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the yeas this bill is a win for gun rights. The right to own, possess, and carry a firearm is enshrined absolutely in the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Additionally, this bill is a common-sense measure that would standardize concealed carry law by making existing rules apply statewide.

SB1049 augments an existing ban on partial-birth abortions by updating the code to make the ban enforceable.

The Idaho State House of Representatives passed SB1049 on March 1, 2019 by a vote of 50 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the U.S. Congress determined that partial-birth abortion is "a gruesome and inhumane procedure that is never medically necessary and should be prohibited." Though this bill does not protect the unborn absolutely, it is a step in the direction of respecting life. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
