Idaho House Kills Bill that Would Have Made it More Difficult to Qualify a Statewide Initiative

On March 30, the Idaho House killed SJR 101a. It would have made it more difficult to qualify a statewide initiative, by requiring the petition to contain the signatures of 6% of the voters in every legislative district. It had passed the Senate.

In the House, the vote was 39-31. Even though it got more “yes” votes than “no” votes, it lost because it required two-thirds of the legislators to vote in its favor.
