PRO-LIFE:
Update: House Bill 220 (previously House Bill 17), sponsored by Representative Bruce Skaugg (R-Nampa), would ban taxpayer funds from being sent to abortion providers and prohibit any public contracting or public funding to a facility or organization that offers abortions. This past week, the House accepted amendments to this bill that were previously passed in the Senate. HB.220 is now before the Governor.
APPROPRIATIONS:
Update: House Bill 383 is an appropriations bill for the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. The initial appropriations bill for the Lt. Governor’s office cut her budget and decreased her staff. The previous versions did not garner enough votes to pass, so this is the third attempt to restore the Lt. Governor’s budget to its prior status. HB.383 passed the Senate in a vote of 21-13. Having already passed the Idaho House, the bill is now before the Governor.
