** Week 16: Legislature at Recess
------------------------------------------------------------
Jan. 11 and continuing in session for 122 days, the 2021 Idaho Legislative Session has ended on May12. The session, the longest in Idaho's history, has been full of strong arguments, legislative proposals to advance liberty, and many to tear it down. Usually, at the end of the legislative session, the House and Senate both “Sine Die,” a Latin term that means to adjourn or conclude indefinitely. However, with the potential for Idaho to receive more federal American Rescue Plan Act funds (“COVID-19 relief”) during the remainder of 2021, the Idaho House of Representatives felt that they needed an alternative to the usual Sine Die process to be prepared to fulfill their role as the body constitutionally responsible for appropriations. With that in mind, the House sought to recess until a future time this year when they may need to return to address important issues.
