Reducing Unnecessary and Excessive Employment Barriers by Requiring Legislative Authority for Agencies to Create New Occupational Licenses.
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
This bill prohibits agencies from creating new occupational licenses through rules or policies unless the legislature provides such authority. Additionally, the bill requires that by July 1, 2026, "all licensure fees shall be established in statute or rule." Finally, the bill establishes "universal occupational and professional licensing practice authority," which ensures individuals holding an occupational license are entitled to perform their jobs without overreaching scope of practice restrictions. Most government licensing entities are overly restrictive and are largely advocated by special interest groups seeking to restrict competition in the marketplace.

Slightly Reducing the State's Overreaching Occupational Licensing Mandates by Eliminating the Requirement that Makeup Artists Obtain a Certification.
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
This bill eliminates the requirement that required anyone who wished "to practice makeup artistry," to obtain a certification. This required paying a fee and having at least 100 hours of training, education, or experience. The state's draconian Barber and Cosmetology Services Licensing Board - which should be eliminated entirely - represents one of the very worst forms of cronyism and government overreach. This government entity merely exists to restrict competition and enrich cosmetology and barber schools through outrageous occupational licensure requirements for services which present little to no risk to consumers.

Slightly Reducing Cronyism by Reducing the Scope of the Hospital Property Tax Exemption.
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
This bill slightly restricts the existing property tax exemption for hospitals by excluding "acute care, outreach, satellite, outpatient, ancillary or support facilities." All state and local tax codes should be constructed in a broadly applied manner with as low of rates as possible for everyone. This and other tax cronyism schemes merely dilute the tax base which results in higher taxes on all other individuals and products to make up for the lost revenue. While this tax cronyism should be repealed entirely, this bill is a step in the right direction.
Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #2 – Make Trump Tax Cuts Permanent and No Tax on Tips: Republicans will make permanent the provisions of the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that doubled the standard deduction, expanded the Child Tax Credit, and spurred Economic Growth for all Americans. We will eliminate Taxes on Tips for millions of Restaurant and Hospitality Workers, and pursue additional Tax Cuts.

Senate 2025
1xHB 134Senate 20251x
Hiking Health Insurance Premiums by Imposing New Coverage Mandates for Breast Cancer Screening.
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Oppose
This bill requires most health insurance policies offered in the state to cover breast imaging, including an annual supplemental exam for individuals "believed to be at an increased risk of breast cancer." Each and every health insurance mandate prevents an individual from selecting a plan with just basic or customized coverages to fit their specific needs. As a result, health insurers are forced to only offer costly plans loaded with coverages that most individuals do not need. This can result in lower-income or younger individuals choosing to purchase no insurance plan at all due to the high cost.
Chapter 4 – Bring Back the American Dream and Make it Affordable Again For Families, Young People, and Everyone – Section #3 – Affordable Healthcare: Healthcare and prescription drug costs are out of control. Republicans will increase Transparency, promote Choice and Competition, and expand access to new Affordable Healthcare and prescription drug options.

Discouraging Illegal Immigration by Requiring Verification of Lawful Presence for Certain Welfare Programs.
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
This bill requires verification of lawful presence in the United States for certain welfare programs, such as immunization assistance, prenatal and postnatal care, and food assistance for minors. Lawmakers must eliminate all incentives that may encourage illegal immigration, including taxpayer-funded benefits surrounding housing, education, and other welfare programs.
Chapter 2 – Seal the Border, and Stop the Migrant Invasion – Section #6 – Ensure our Legal Immigration System Puts American Workers First: Republicans will prioritize Merit-based immigration, ensuring those admitted to our Country contribute positively to our Society and Economy, and never become a drain on Public Resources.

Against GOP

Strengthening Parental Rights in Education by Prohibiting Discussion of Sensitive Issues Surrounding Human Sexuality Without Parental Consent.
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
This bill requires school districts to obtain parental consent in order for a student to receive instruction on human sexuality. Strong parental rights in their child's education are a critical element of a free society. This measure ensures children are not subjected to sensitive topics without the consent of parents.
Chapter 7 – Cultivate Great K-12 Schools Leading to Great Jobs and Great Lives for Young People – Section #6 – Knowledge and Skills, Not CRT and Gender Indoctrination – Republicans will ensure children are taught fundamentals like Reading, History, Science, and Math, not Leftwing propaganda.

Protecting Free Speech on Public College Campuses by Limiting Restrictions on Free Speech.
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
This bill enacts the "Protecting Campus Free Speech in Higher Education Act," which provides that public colleges and universities may not "abridge the protected expressive activity of any member of the campus community to speak on campus." Additionally, the bill requires public colleges and universities to "maintain a policy prohibiting student-on-student harassment." Finally, these institutions are prohibited from restricting First Amendment-protected speech to "free speech zones," and they may not charge "security fees" based on the content of a student or organization's speech, or that of an invited guest.
Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #2 – Republicans Will Dismantle Censorship & Protect Free Speech: We will ban the Federal Government from colluding with anyone to censor Lawful Speech, defund institutions engaged in censorship, and hold accountable all bureaucrats involved with illegal censoring.

Reducing Childcare Costs and Increasing Availability by Increasing the Number of Children Staff May Supervise.
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
This bill slightly reduces regulations on daycare providers by increasing the number of children a staff member may supervise. While the bill does add specificity to the definition of "supervision," this bill serves as a step in the right direction to reducing excessive regulations within the childcare industry. Lawmakers should build on this deregulatory approach to make childcare more affordable.

Strengthening Safety and Privacy in the Restrooms of Public Colleges and Universities and Other Locations by Requiring Usage to be Based on Biological Sex (Male or Female) at Birth.
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
This bill requires public colleges and universities, jails, and domestic violence shelters with a multi-person restroom, changing facility, or sleeping areas to designate separate facilities based on biological sex at birth. Public colleges and universities are required to provide a reasonable accommodation upon written request, but this does not include allowing access to a multi-person restroom, changing facility, or sleeping area designated for the opposite sex while in use. This measure helps strengthen safety and privacy in restrooms and locker rooms at public colleges and universities, jails, and domestic violence shelters across the state.
Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #5 – Republicans Will End Left-wing Gender Insanity: We will keep men out of women’s sports, ban Taxpayer funding for sex change surgeries, and stop Taxpayer-funded Schools from promoting gender transition, reverse Biden’s radical rewrite of Title IX Education Regulations, and restore protections for women and girls.

Protecting Taxpayers by Making it Easier to Dismiss Poor-Performing Government Employees.

Strengthening Public Safety by Prohibiting Large Cities from Allowing Homeless Encampments on Public Property and Streets.
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
This bill prohibits certain large cities from imposing any ordinance which allows "public camping or sleeping" on public property, roads, or rights-of-way. The bill applies to cities with a population of at least 100,000, which includes Boise, Meridian, and Nampa. While this measure should apply to all localities across the state, this bill is a step in the right direction.

Weakening Property Rights by Providing Electric Utilities Unreasonable New Legal Protections for Sparking Wildfires.
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Oppose
This bill enacts the "Wildfire Standard of Care Act," which provides legal protection for electric utility companies that cause wildfires. Under the bill, public electric utilities are required to, and private electric utilities have the option to, submit a "wildfire mitigation plan" for state approval. If the utility is later sued for damages resulting from a wildfire caused by the utility, the bill provides a "rebuttable presumption that the electric corporation acted without negligence" as long as the utility "reasonably implemented" the mitigation plan. This measure results in higher property insurance costs by no longer holding utilities properly accountable for the damages they cause.
