2024 Legislative Sine Die

Dear Readers,
The legislature adjourned on April 10th, 2024, and we extend our appreciation to both the House and the Senate for their diligent efforts.

Throughout this session, Idaho Launch remained a central focus for the Chamber, and we are delighted to witness its successful culmination. This program aims to keep our workforce strong, and families united by keeping Idaho kids in Idaho. A huge thank you to the Governor, the Workforce Development Council, and the Legislature for their commitment to this initiative.

Another key agenda item for the Chamber was the passage of the School Facilities bill. This legislation not only ensures the maintenance of school infrastructure but also secures safe learning environments for Idaho students. Furthermore, it contributes to our ongoing effort to lower income taxes, a continued priority for the Chamber.

Liquor Reform remains a priority for the chamber, encouraging economic development and opportunities for our hospitality and tourism industries. Senate Bill 1421 offers clarity to our businesses and allows local representatives the ability to judge what is best for their communities and values. We’re proud to see this legislation pass into law and commend Senator Guthrie, along with multiple others, for their work and commitment to this issue.

As another session ends, we acknowledge that numerous challenges persist across various industries, and we remain resolute in our advocacy for Idaho businesses. We are grateful for the unwavering dedication of our members to their communities and look forward to continue serving you!
​
Stay well,
Tori Thomas
