Idaho House passes bill striking gathering limits

Legislature takes aim at governor’s emergency powers

The Idaho House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill that would void the state’s 50-person limits on gatherings due to COVID-19, while a House committee advanced the latest version of a bill that would limit the governor’s power in a state of emergency.

HCR 5 will now be sent to the Senate, where a relevant committee will decide whether to send the legislation to the Senate floor for a vote.
