BOISE, Idaho (AP) A proposed law to allow state agencies, boards and commissions to go around the Idaho attorney general’s office to hire private-practice attorneys headed to the full House on Thursday.
The House State Affairs Committee approved the measure despite opposition from Attorney General Lawrence Wasden and five former attorneys general. It also overcame concerns the bill failed to realistically estimate the cost to taxpayers of hiring private attorneys.
The bill also removes a requirement that outside attorneys be screened by the attorney general’s office and a board comprised of the governor and three other statewide-elected officials before doing legal work for the state.
