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 on the number of bills each member can sponsor to twelve per session, excluding appropriation bills and those sponsored by state agencies. Additionally, it outlines procedures for substituting bills, prioritizing bill drafting requests, and reintroducing bills that have failed to pass.

The resolution also includes provisions for exemptions to the bill introduction limits, which can be granted by the Speaker of the House or delegated to committee chairpersons. Furthermore, it mandates that if a bill does not originate from a member's initiative, the statement of purpose must identify the proposing lobbyist, agency, or organization, unless it comes from a constituent unaffiliated with such entities. These amendments aim to enhance the efficiency and transparency of the legislative process in Idaho.
