On 100th day of Idaho Legislature, is there an end in sight? Not really. Hayat Norimine, The Idaho Statesman
Apr. 20 On the 100th day of Idaho s legislative session, senators reintroduced a wolf-killing bill. House members debated over, but didn t approve, cutting half a vacant position in the lieutenant governor s office. And they passed a measure that would allow legislators to call themselves into a special session. They have yet to introduce critical education funding they must pass this year.
This year s session is Idaho s third-longest in history. And as the session nears a record-breaking length of 118 days, lawmakers are still at a stalemate over failed bills they will not give up on. That includes bills curbing the governor s emergency powers.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) The Republican-dominated Senate on Monday failed to override GOP Gov. Brad Little’s veto of a measure seeking to curb a governor’s power to respond to emergencies like the coronavirus pandemic.
The Senate voted 23-12, failing by one vote to get the two-thirds threshold needed. It came after Little vetoed the legislation on Friday with support from four former governors and said he planned to veto a similar House bill. That veto had not yet been announced Monday, and it wasn’t clear if the House measure had reached his desk. The Senate’s failure to override the veto puts the survival of the second bill in doubt.
