This month's rain and snow continues to stack up. Many mountain locations across southern Idaho are above 100% of the snow water equivalent for this time of year.

The Senate finished off a rare veto override yesterday, and a far-reaching property tax overhaul is now on the books.  The Senate upheld House Bill 292 which promises $355 million in immediate property tax relief, but has huge implications for public schools. The law earmarks $100 million that schools must spend on property tax relief, perhaps by paying down existing bonds or levies. But the law also eliminates the standalone March election.

Idaho lawmakers are considering making it illegal for an adult to help a minor procure an abortion without parental consent.  To sidestep violating a constitutional right to travel between states, the state law would make illegal only the portion of a trip to an out-of-state abortion provider that takes place in Idaho.  People convicted of breaking the law would face two to five years in prison.  The law would be the first of it’s kind in the U.S.

A bill heading to Idaho Gov. Brad Little is necessary to keep Idaho’s psychiatric hospitals and behavioral health centers in operation.  But one sentence written into the legislation could have far-reaching consequences.  It includes a new restriction on who can receive free naloxone kits capable of reversing the fatal effects of an opioid overdose.  The bill says that those kits shall be available only to first responders in the state of Idaho.

The Idaho House of Representatives voted yesterday to override Gov. Brad Little’s veto of a property tax bill, setting up a late-session showdown between the two chambers of the Idaho Legislature and Little. During its morning floor session, the Idaho House also voted to reject the Senate’s new property tax counterproposal.  It all started on Monday, when Little vetoed House Bill 292 after saying he opposed a section of the bill that removed the March election date that school districts use for bond on levy elections.  Yesterday the Idaho House responded by voting to override Little’s veto.

Idaho gas prices have gone down another four cents over the past week. According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of regular in the Gem State is $3.58, nine cents less than a month ago.  Meanwhile, the national average sits at $3.44 per gallon.

Brad Little will have the final say on whether to criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender youth now that both legislative chambers approved an amended version of House Bill 71.  It now heads to Little’s desk where he can sign it into law, let it become law without his signature or veto it.
