House Resolution No. 2, introduced by the State Affairs Committee, proposes an amendment to Rule 70 of the Rules of the House of Representatives in Idaho. The resolution emphasizes the need for this amendment to clarify who is permitted on the floor of the House during sessions. The amended rule specifies that only legislators and legislative employees are allowed 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 leave before business commences unless authorized by the Speaker of the House.

Additionally, the resolution outlines that any elected state official or former state legislator must be sponsored by a legislator to gain access to the floor. Other guests must receive clearance from the Speaker or designated individuals and the Sergeant at Arms. This amendment aims to maintain order and control over who can participate in the legislative process during sessions, ensuring that only authorized individuals are present while the House conducts its business.
