HB 314 was yet another attack on valued public institutions
By the narrowest of margins, the House failed to reach the 2/3 majority required to override the Governor's veto on House Bill 314aaS, known as the Library Bill.
Idaho Gov. Brad Little vetoed a bill that would have prohibited libraries and schools from promoting or giving out materials “harmful to minors.”
Saying the bill would create a “bounty system,” Gov. Brad Little on Wednesday vetoed a bill designed to limit access to harmful materials in school and public libraries. The veto comes a day before lawmakers reconvene at the Statehouse — which could set the stage for another veto override vote. House Bill 314 passed both houses last week, although Friday’s House vote margin fell below the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto.
