House Resolution No. 4, 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 70 specifies that only legislators, legislative employees, and representatives of the news media are allowed on the floor while the House is conducting business. Elected state officials and former state legislators can only access the floor if sponsored by a legislator and must leave before business commences unless authorized by the Speaker of the House.

Additionally, the resolution outlines that all individuals permitted on the floor must wear badges issued by the Chief Clerk. Any other guests wishing to enter the House floor must receive clearance from the Speaker or designated personnel, as well as the Sergeant at Arms. This amendment aims to maintain order and control over who can participate in the legislative process during sessions.
