  • 2020-Idaho-Freedom-Index-Official-1.Pdf
    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.

    LEGISLATIVE BRANCH 5HG¿VK/DNHLQ)HEUXDU\ Photo Courtesy: Adam Gulick adamgulickphotography.smugmug.com/ LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS 136 IDAHO BLUE BOOK Legislative Branch The Idaho Legislature is responsible for translating the public will into public policy for the state, levying taxes, appropriating public funds, and overseeing the administration of state agencies. 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

HJM 11 - Dams, pg. 2 -- Winston Churchill HJM 11 - Dams, cont. , pg. 3 Update on Various Legislation, pg. 3 Transportation Bills Move Forward This week House committees heard three infrastructure funding bills and all three were sent to the floor with “do pass” recommendations. H312 is supported as written by Idaho Farm Bureau and sponsored by House Transportation Committee Chairman, Rep. Joe Palmer (R-Meridian). The bill increases registration fees for all vehicles, passenger cars through heavy trucks, by $15. Motorcycle registrations are increased by $6. A “hybrid vehicle fee” of $100 is created and is in addition to other registration fees for this type vehicle. Similarly, an “electric vehicle fee” of $150 is created and added to existing electric vehicle registration fees. This bill is estimated to raise about $20 million in new registration fees. During his presentation of H312, Chairman Palmer said he wanted to provide legislation that could pass the House and be sent to the Senate. He also said that if the bill is ultimately sent to the Senate, he expects it to be amended and sent back to the House for confirmation of the Senate amendments. A lot of folks agree with the Chairman’s observation. H311 is sponsored by House Speaker, Rep. Scott Bedke (R-Oakley) and House Majority Leader, Rep.
