STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30655 / SJR103
The Joint Resolution amends the Idaho Constitution to include the special sessions of the Idaho Legislature
convened upon a written request of 60% each of the House and Senate membership under the same 20-day
limit that has applied since statehood to all sessions convened at the call of the Governor.
FISCAL NOTE
This amendment restores a constitutional limit on the length of legislative sessions convened after the regular
session adjourns. As such, it adds no additional cost, but may serve to limit legislative expenses estimated at
$21,300 per day. There is an estimated cost of $200,000 for the Secretary of State to publish the proposed
constitutional amendment and arguments as required by law.
