Idaho Legislature Passes Bill Making it Extremely Difficult to Qualify a Statewide Initiative

On April 7, the Idaho House passed SB 1110. It changes the petition requirement for statewide initiatives. Under the bill, an initiative would need to gather the signatures of 6% of the voters in all 35 legislative districts. There has never before been any state that required an initiative petition to get a substantial number of signatures in all legislative districts.

Of course it is conceivable that Governor Brad Little could veto the bill.
