ADMITTANCE TO THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE – Proposes an amendment to House Rule 70 to add certain restrictions regarding admittance to the floor of the House.

This Idaho House bill (HR 2) amends House Rule 70 to restrict access to the House floor during sessions. It requires elected state officials, former legislators, and news media representatives to wear badges issued by the Chief Clerk to enter the floor. Additionally, elected officials and former legislators must be sponsored by a current legislator to enter and must leave before sessions begin unless the Speaker authorizes them to stay. The rule maintains that only legislators and legislative employees may remain on the floor while the chamber is conducting business.
