Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 106, introduced by the State Affairs Committee, declares January 16 as "Religious Freedom Day" in Idaho. The resolution emphasizes the significance of religious freedom as a fundamental human right, rooted in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It highlights the importance of allowing individuals to practice their faith without fear of persecution, fostering a society that values diversity, tolerance, and mutual understanding. The date of January 16 is particularly notable as it marks the anniversary of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, a pivotal document that contributed to the establishment of religious liberty protections in the United States.

The resolution calls upon the citizens of Idaho to observe Religious Freedom Day through appropriate ceremonies, activities, and educational programs aimed at promoting awareness and understanding of this essential right. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit a copy of the resolution to the Governor of Idaho, reinforcing the state's commitment to honoring and celebrating religious freedom.
