Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 102, introduced by the State Affairs Committee, authorizes the Legislative Council of Idaho to form a committee to study the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution outlines the significant impact of the pandemic in Idaho, including over 500,000 suspected cases and more than 5,000 deaths. It highlights various actions taken by the state government, such as the declaration of a state of emergency, restrictions on public gatherings, the activation of the National Guard, and mandates for vaccinations among healthcare workers. The resolution also notes the financial strain on businesses and citizens due to government-imposed restrictions.

The appointed committee will investigate whether the actions taken by the Idaho government during the pandemic violated or circumvented constitutional rights as outlined in the U.S. Constitution, the Idaho Constitution, or state statutes. The committee is tasked with reporting its findings to the Second Regular Session of the Sixty-eighth Idaho Legislature, focusing on the implications of the government's response on the rights of Idaho citizens.
