House Concurrent Resolution No. 11, introduced by the Local Government Committee, emphasizes the importance of supporting young entrepreneurs in Idaho. The resolution highlights that owning and operating a business provides valuable life skills, fosters community engagement, and instills a strong work ethic in youth. It also points out that excessive regulations can hinder creativity and discourage young individuals from pursuing business opportunities. To promote entrepreneurship among youth, the resolution advocates for streamlining processes and eliminating permitting and licensure fees for small, youth-operated businesses.

The resolution encourages local governments, including cities and counties, to consider the benefits of fostering entrepreneurship among young people. It calls for the waiving of fees for businesses owned by minors, simplifying regulatory requirements while ensuring public health and safety, and creating opportunities for young entrepreneurs to showcase their products and services at community events. By taking these steps, the resolution aims to empower the next generation of innovators and leaders, contributing to the overall economic growth and community pride in Idaho.
