House Resolution No. 2, proposed by the State Affairs Committee, seeks to amend Rule 70 of the Rules of the House of Representatives in Idaho. The resolution emphasizes the necessity of updating the rules regarding who may access the floor of the House during sessions. The amended Rule 70 specifies that only legislators and legislative employees are permitted on the floor while the House is conducting business. Elected state officials, former state legislators, and representatives of the news media can access the floor but must wear badges issued by the Chief Clerk and must be sponsored by a legislator.

Additionally, the resolution stipulates that any elected state official or former state legislator must leave the floor before the House begins its business unless they have received authorization from the Speaker of the House to remain. Other guests must also be cleared through the Speaker or designated personnel and the Sergeant at Arms to gain access to the floor. This amendment aims to streamline access to the House floor and ensure that only authorized individuals are present during legislative proceedings.
