House Concurrent Resolution No. 11 encourages cities, counties, and other governing bodies in Idaho to support young entrepreneurs by recognizing the value of youth-run businesses. The resolution highlights that operating a business provides young people with real-world experience, fosters community engagement, and instills a strong work ethic. It also points out that excessive regulations can hinder creativity and discourage youth from pursuing entrepreneurial opportunities. Therefore, the resolution advocates for streamlining processes and eliminating permitting and licensure fees for small, youth-operated businesses to create a more accessible pathway to entrepreneurship.

The resolution calls on local governments to consider the benefits of encouraging youth entrepreneurship, including waiving fees and simplifying regulatory requirements while ensuring public health and safety standards are maintained. Additionally, it suggests creating opportunities for young entrepreneurs to showcase their products and services through community events, fairs, or markets. By empowering young people to start their own businesses, the resolution aims to cultivate the next generation of innovators and leaders, reinforcing the foundational values of hard work and enterprise that are central to the American dream.
