CONVENED: Chairman Siddoway called the Senate State Affairs Committee to order at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, January 15, 2018. INTRODUCTION Chairman Siddoway introduced and welcomed Page Lyndi Loveland and OF PAGE: explained that Lyndi is from St. Anthony, attended his Alma Mater in South Fremont, and had approached her neighbor, Chairman Siddoway, to be her sponsor; he agreed. Chairman Siddoway asked Lyndi to provide the Committee with some of her history and why she had an interest in coming to the Legislature. Lyndi Loveland, St. Anthony, explained that she attended Idaho Syringa Girls State last summer where they learned about government and received high school government credits. While there, she was introduced to the page program. As they sat in the Senate seats, she immediately knew it was something she wanted to do. She sent in her application and was accepted. Chairman Siddoway asked what she hoped to learn from this experience. Lyndi responded that she was not as educated about government as she should be; this would be an opportunity to learn. Chairman Hill asked Lyndi to tell the Committee about her family. Lyndi answered that she had two older brothers and an older sister. Her oldest brother has a set of adorable, three year old twins. She lives at home with her parents, Mike and Laurie Loveland. She has lived on a dairy farm her whole life. Chairman Siddoway thanked Lyndi for serving at the Legislature. IDAPA 31 – IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION (IPUC) 31-1101-1701 – Safety & Accident Reporting Rules for Utilities Regulated by IPUC. DOCKET NO. Paul Kjellander, Commissioner, Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC), stated 31-1101-1701 he is bringing some housekeeping rules before the Committee. This happens about every two years when the Federal Pipeline Safety Statutes are updated. The IPUC is required to bring those updates before the Legislature. The rules today refer to the Protecting Our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety (PIPES) Act of 2016 which relates to the authority to regulate carbon dioxide in pipelines. At the federal level, the statute also requires the state program to communicate with any operator who has been inspected and provide any information concerning the inspection within 90 days. This statute further addresses standards related to underground natural gas storage facilities. Commissioner Kjellander reiterated that this was largely housekeeping and stated his appreciation to the Committee for accommodating his schedule. Senator Hill asked if the changes affect the standards for carbon monoxide levels. Commissioner Kjellander stated that the federal changes only give the IPUC authority to regulate and doesn't provide much information about the changes in the carbon monoxide standards. Senator Winder addressed the "incorporate by reference" language. He inquired as to how many pages are being incorporated? Commissioner Kjellander deferred to Joe Leckie, Executive Administrator, IPUC, who stated there were approximately 35 pages. Commissioner Kjellander added that not every section in those pages was changed. Senator Winder asked that, in the future when there is a statement "incorporate by reference" there should be at least one copy of the full reference for the Committee. Commissioner Kjellander concurred. Senator Hagedorn commented that he clicked on the link in that rule and accessed all the information. He suggested adding the appropriate link within the rule. Chairman Siddoway asked if the rule only affects gas lines or does it affect other lines such as sewer lines? Commissioner Kjellander answered that it solely affects natural gas lines. MOTION: Senator Hill moved to approve Docket 31-1101-1701. Senator Hagedorn seconded the motion. The motion carried by voice vote. Senator Lodge asked Commissioner Kjellander about the lack of monies for the telephone program. Commissioner Kjellander provided a brief overview. He explained that the State of Idaho is one of approximately 20 states in the nation that participates in the Universal Service Fund. The fund was created in 1988 to ensure that customers in rural areas paid a reasonable comparable rate for voice line services as that of customers in larger communities. Recently, with the emergence of advanced technology, the number of access minutes and lines have declined. This year the number has declined by 30 percent. Based on the current statute, there are very few alternatives other than raising the fee for customers that still have voice lines; doing so would raise approximately $1.7 million, which would be dispersed according to the formula among the eight rural phone companies. Beginning on Wednesday this week, representatives of a number of telephone companies will meet with the objective of reporting to and working with this Committee to develop relevant legislation in next year's legislative session. Senator Lodge thanked Commissioner Kjellander and expressed her concern for the rural areas she represents. Chairman Siddoway expressed a concern about the affect on telephone cooperatives; would they be subject to paying the $1.7 million? Commissioner Kjellander suggested that this does not affect cooperatives. However, Commissioner Kjellander said he would check on this and get back to Chairman Siddoway and the Committee. (See Note Below) ADJOURNMENT:There being no further business, Chairman Siddoway adjourned the meeting at 8:18 a.m. TESTIMONY After subsequent investigation, Commissioner Kjellander discovered that UPDATE FROM municipal and cooperatives are assessed the Universal Service Feed Fee for land COMMISSIONER lines-(voice). This information was provided to Chairman Siddoway on January KJELLANDER 15, 2018. ___________________________ ___________________________ Senator Siddoway, Chair Twyla Melton, Secretary SENATE STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE Monday, January 15, 2018—Minutes—Page 2 AMENDED AGENDA #1 SENATE STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE 8:00 A.M.

    To read any of the 271 bill analyses IFF published this legislative session, or to research your lawmakers’ voting records, please visit: IDAHOFREEDOMINDEX.COM FROM THE PRESIDENT During an Idaho House floor debate earlier this year, state Rep. Fred Wood, R-Burley, said outside bill ratings aren’t welcome in lawmakers’ deliberations. Wood, who couldn’t summon the courage to utter our name, was speaking about the Idaho Freedom Index. Please know 2020 was a banner year for the Idaho Freedom Index, our flagship project. IFF launched the Index in 2012 to help you hold lawmakers accountable for their votes. This year, it earned unprecedented attention from legislators, lobbyists, and Idahoans. A select few highlights demonstrate the Index’s formidability. Web traffic to the Index and IFF analyses surged more than 40 percent above 2019 levels. This year, lawmakers talked about the Idaho Freedom Index in public meetings more than a dozen times. Finally, lobbyists, who once scoffed at the Index, beat a path to our office seeking assistance to improve their legislation. I want to recognize those who worked tirelessly to bring about this banner year. First, IFF donors deserve immense credit. Their support makes this service available in our state. Next, I bring to your attention IFF Policy Analyst Lindsay Atkinson, who coordinated the Index and evaluated countless bills. Finally, a heartfelt thank you goes to IFF Vice President Fred Birnbaum and Parrish Miller. Both worked long hours and dove deep into legislation to write analyses. I understand the Idaho Freedom Index makes some lawmakers uncomfortable. Accountability to voters causes discomfort for legislators who say one thing on the campaign trail but do another in the Statehouse.

  • Dear House Speaker, Scott Bedke, I Have Been Following the Events

    Dear House Speaker, Scott Bedke, I Have Been Following the Events

    Dear House Speaker, Scott Bedke, I have been following the events surrounding your disciplining of Representative Heather Scott. I can appreciate your desire for decorum on the House floor but I don't understand how removing Rep. Scott from committees does anything more than increase the burden on others in those committees. The impetus of your action is in no way related to Rep. Scott's service on committees which is why so much has been made of this. The people of Idaho see a disconnect in justice. To strip Rep. Scott of her committee assignments because she was alleged to have engaged in a private conversation, off the House floor and outside of the strict decorum of order, and then to take no action on the alleged crime of adultery by Rep. Perry is very disturbing. Had you dealt with these matters with some confidentiality, we wouldn't be in this mess. Both of the aforementioned actions are private matters, where as your unequal use of authority and justice has been open for all to see. Therefore, rather than giving the appearance of leading, your drastic unilateral stripping Rep. Scott of her committee assignments appears that you've overreached in your desire to enact political revenge on another member of the House (even if that's not the case at all). I'm sorry to say that to the citizens, such as myself, who don't get involved in the political gamesmanship that goes on in Boise, I think that your action has backfired. The act of having to take control of a situation that appears beyond your responsibility has brought to light that the Idaho House which you chair is easily distracted and willing to set aside the service to the great state of Idaho.

    H0197 – Letter of Opposition

    American Planning Association February 19, 2021 Idaho Chapter The Honorable Greg Chaney, Chair House Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee Idaho State House of Representatives P.O. Box 83720 Boise, ID 83720-0054 RE: H0197, amending Section 31-714 and 50-302, Relating to Penalties for Violating Local Ordinances Dear Chairman Chaney, On behalf of the Idaho Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA Idaho), I am writing to register my organization's opposition to House Bill 197, the amendment to Sections 31-714 and 50302 regarding Penalties for Violating Local Ordinances. Our organization represents more than 250 local planning officials, private-sector planners, and planning commission members statewide. We are the technicians, professionals, policy and decision makers who represent the public interest in carrying out the authorities vested with local government under Idaho’s Local Land Use Planning Act, Title 67, Chapter 65 of the Idaho Statutes. These authorities provide some of the mechanisms for local communities to adopt protections to public health, safety, and welfare. APA Idaho strongly opposes legislative changes that would limit the ability of local communities to enforce public health, safety, and welfare ordinances. Consider the following scenarios: 1. A property owner illegally fills or grades a stream that is in the designated floodway, causing his neighbor’s house to flood. This results in FEMA determining that the community is in violation of the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program), putting all flood insurance holders in the community at risk of losing their insurance policies and eliminating the possibility of that community to obtain FEMA disaster funds.
