SENATE RESOLUTION 101
Rule 3, organization, seating
ORGANIZATION AND SEATING – Proposes an amendment to Senate Rule 3 regarding organization, seating, and substitution in the Senate.
RS31322 / SR101
This legislation addresses Senate Rule 3, which directs the organization of the Senate when a newly elected legislature has its first meeting. The proposed change to Senate Rule 3 is to state that substitution in either the House or the Senate does not count toward seniority. This rule change will bring Senate Rule 3 into agreement with Idaho Code § 67-412 which states that substitutes may exercise the duties of a legislator, but the elected Senator or Representative retains the office. The proposed effective date of the legislation is December 1, 2024.
This legislation does not propose to spend any monies. The Rules of the Senate book would need to be reprinted to reflect the change in the rule.
