House Resolution No. 18 proposes amendments to Rule 6 of the Rules of the House of Representatives in Idaho. The resolution emphasizes the need for these changes to streamline the legislative process. The amended rule stipulates that, after the 36th day of the legislative session, only specific committees can introduce bills, and it sets a limit of twelve bills per member for the session, excluding appropriation bills and those sponsored by state agencies. Additionally, it allows for the substitution of a new bill for a previously introduced one under certain conditions, without counting towards the introduction limit.

The resolution also outlines procedures for bill drafting requests, prioritizing members who have not yet reached their introduction limit. It establishes a waiting period for reintroducing bills that have failed in either the House or Senate, and it grants the Speaker of the House the authority to exempt members from these limitations if necessary. Furthermore, the resolution mandates that any bill not initiated by a member must disclose the proposing lobbyist or organization, unless it originates from a constituent unaffiliated with such entities.
