- Departments of State and Defense under both Republican and Democratic administrations because they present
Summary:
The Appropriations Committee met on March 11, 2026, and considered two bills. SB 1097, the annual name claimants’ bill, would appropriate $370,211.08 from the general fund and $33,021.08 from other specified funds to pay claims against state agencies in fiscal year 2026. Staff described it as the routine annual bill to settle accounts, there was no public testimony, and the committee voted to return it with a due pass recommendation by 14 yeses and 4 not voting.
The committee then heard SB 1308, which would create a Foreign Adversary Fraud Office and Fund in the Attorney General’s Office to pursue consumer fraud involving technology produced by a foreign adversary. The bill also appropriates $500,000 from the general fund in fiscal year 2027, and directs excess funds over $10 million to a new rip-and-replace fund for replacing foreign-adversary technology in critical infrastructure. Kelly Curry testified in support on behalf of State Armor, arguing the bill addresses both consumer fraud and national security risks tied to connected technologies and would help fund enforcement and replacement costs.
Members asked about settlements and examples from other states, and Curry cited recent filings in Nebraska, Tennessee, and Texas, plus a Missouri settlement involving fraudulent PPE. Several members explained their votes, with some supporting the bill as a consumer protection and security measure and others expressing concern about creating a new fund or appropriating outside the regular budget process. The committee ultimately gave SB 1308 a due pass recommendation by a 10-4 vote, with two members voting present and two not voting, and then adjourned.

- There are no other rooms scheduled, so I think the Democrats can stay here if the Republicans go to caucus
Summary:
The Technology, Economic Development, and Veterans Committee met for what was described as its last meeting of the session and took executive action on three bills. Members also noted plans for at least one interim meeting in Olympia, including a possible briefing from the Department of Commerce and a tour of the Emergency Management Center.
The committee first considered Senate Bill 6046, which would allow the Civil Air Patrol to be dual-hatted to operate under either federal or state authority. Supporters said the bill would formalize an existing arrangement and give the Civil Air Patrol more flexibility for search and rescue and wildfire support. The bill passed out of committee with a do pass recommendation on a 10-0 vote, with 3 excused.
Next, the committee approved Substitute Senate Bill 6149, which updates the definition of a rural county to a population threshold of 45,000 for purposes tied to grants, loans, and public facilities funding. Members said the change would preserve eligibility for counties that have lost rural designation and noted the broader issue of how rural areas are defined as populations grow. It also passed 10-0, with 3 excused.
Finally, the committee took up Substitute Senate Bill 6289, creating a statewide economic development and competitiveness strategic plan. The committee adopted amendment Whale 402, changing the required update cycle for the plan from every two years to every five years, and then passed the bill as amended. Supporters said the plan would help guide statewide economic development and manufacturing efforts and that the longer update cycle was more fiscally prudent. The final vote was 10-0, with 3 excused, and the committee then adjourned.

Summary:
The House convened at noon with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, including a reading of George Washington’s prayer in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding. The journal for Saturday, June 27, 2026, was postponed until printed. Representative Borowitz then spoke under House Rule 17 on America 250 and House Resolution 579, which designates a day of commemoration for America’s 250th birthday and celebrates the nation’s founding principles.
Borowitz’s remarks reviewed a long historical narrative emphasizing the role of religion and divine providence in American history, citing the Declaration of Independence, the Founding Fathers, early colonial worship, the Pilgrims, the Great Awakenings, presidential prayers and proclamations, the Aitken Bible, Capitol church services, the Civil War, World War II, and later references such as the National Prayer Breakfast and Apollo-era Bibles. The resolution was described as reaffirming commitment to the Declaration’s principles, including rights endowed by the Creator and reliance on divine providence.
No vote was taken on the resolution during this session. At the end of the remarks, Representative Dockery moved to adjourn, and the House agreed by voice vote. The House adjourned until Monday, June 29, 2026, at 12 noon, unless sooner recalled by the Speaker.

Committee:
House Appropriations
Summary:
House Appropriations heard House Bill 836, presented by Sen. Phil Hart. Hart said the bill is similar to last year’s HB 413 and would eliminate executive branch positions that have been vacant for over a year, review positions vacant 180 days to a year, and redirect a portion of the eliminated positions into the legislative branch to give lawmakers more staff and resources. He argued the Legislature’s share of the state budget is too small to fulfill its constitutional duties of budgeting, oversight, and policy-making, and said the bill was intended to strengthen the legislative branch.
Members raised concerns about the bill’s treatment of different funding sources and the legal risks of moving dedicated or federal funds tied to specific programs. Hart agreed those issues needed to be addressed and said the bill would need amendments, including to avoid affecting Idaho State Police positions and to account for Department of Labor funding and staffing patterns. He also said he was working on separate ideas for ISP staffing and that this bill was focused on legislative capacity rather than those agency needs.
The committee then moved HB 836 to general orders. The motion passed by voice vote, with one nay recorded. The chair said the committee had no further business and would adjourn after the meeting.
