Senate Joint Memorial No. 112 is a resolution from the Idaho Legislature urging the state's congressional delegation to take action towards balancing the federal budget and addressing the national debt, which has surpassed $38 trillion. The resolution emphasizes the importance of fiscal responsibility and accountability, citing the ongoing concerns about the long-term sustainability of federal finances. It highlights the historical context of the U.S. Constitution's Article V, which allows for amendments to be proposed by Congress and ratified by the states, and notes the support for a balanced budget amendment among the American public.

The memorial specifically calls on Idaho's federal representatives, including Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch, and Representatives Mike Simpson and Russ Fulcher, to lead efforts in proposing a constitutional amendment that mandates a balanced federal budget. It encourages these leaders to engage in discussions within Congress to promote fiscal discipline and reduce federal spending, ultimately aiming to protect future generations from the burdens of national debt. The resolution also directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the memorial to relevant congressional leaders and the legislatures of other states.
