These responsibilities are carried out through the legislative process -- laws passed by elected representatives of the people, legislators. Since statehood in 1890, Idaho's legislators have enjoyed a rich and successful history of charting the state's growth. Much of that success can be attributed to the fact that Idaho's legislators are "citizen" legislators, not career politicians. They are farmers and ranchers, business men and women, lawyers, doctors, sales people, loggers, teachers. Elected for two-year terms and in session at the Capitol just three months each year, Idaho's citizen legislators are able to maintain close ties to their communities and a keen interest in the concerns of the electorate. The Legislature's Mission The Idaho Legislature is committed to carrying out its mission in a manner that inspires public WUXVWDQGFRQ¿GHQFHLQHOHFWHGJRYHUQPHQWDQGWKHUXOHRIODZ7KHPLVVLRQRIWKH/HJLVODWXUH is to: Preserve the checks and balances of state government by the independent exercise of legislative powers; Adopt a system of laws that promote the health, education and well-being of Idaho's citizens; Preserve the state's environment and ensure wise, productive use of the state's natural resources; Carry out oversight responsibilities to enhance government accountability; and Raise revenues and appropriate monies that support necessary government services.

The interior of the Capitol Building has been remodeled several times during it's 100-year history. Interior changes were made during the 1950s and 1970s to accommodate a growing Legislature. By the 1990s, crowding, outdated mechanical systems, and decades of hard use left their mark on the aging building. Recognizing the need to save the historic Statehouse and keep the building a working seat of government, the Legislature authorized creation of the Idaho Capitol Commission in 1998 to plan for and oversee a complete restoration, refurbishment, and expansion of the Idaho Capitol and its grounds. This massive undertaking was completed LQ'HFHPEHU The Membership Presently, the Idaho Legislature is composed of 35 Senators and 70 Representatives elected for two-year terms.

The Sessions Until 1969, sessions of the Idaho Legislature were held every two years. In November of 1968, the citizens of Idaho approved a Constitutional Amendment which authorized annual sessions.

Your willingness to work together on budgetary priorities during these challenging economic times will provide support to JFAC, and hopefully together Diane Bilyeu we will provide the best possible educational opportunities for all of Idaho’s Nicole LeFavour schoolchildren. Although the Governor’s initial General Fund recommendation for Public Schools did HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS not include additional cuts – it was too optimistic considering the recent news that we …………………….. have received about revenues. We are sure you understand that once the Legislature Maxine Bell takes into consideration the reduction of projected General Fund revenues due to federal Chairman tax conformity, unanticipated sales tax credits for alternative energy, and the erosion of Darrell Bolz last year’s surplus; it is necessary to ask our germane committees to consider policy and Vice Chairman programmatic changes that support a lower spending level for FY 2012. George Eskridge The Co-Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen of JFAC have identified a range of between $50 Fred Wood million to $81 million below what the Governor recommended at $1,235,893,600 for Jim Patrick Public Schools in FY 2012.

    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.
