Legislature, legal intervention
LEGISLATURE – Amends existing law to revise a provision regarding intervention by the Legislature in an action regarding an Idaho statute.

RS30298 / S1080

The purpose of this bill is to clarify that the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and/or Speaker of the House of Representatives (as the elected officers of the Idaho State Senate and House of Representatives) have the authority to intervene in such cases before the courts.

The Legislature previously passed legislation clarifying the right of the Idaho Legislature to, when warranted, intervene in legal cases that are deemed to impact the State of Idaho. Therefore, this bill has no additional fiscal impact on the funds of the State of Idaho
