2027 Weekly Session Report

Week Twelve Idaho Legislative Update for March 30-April 3

The Second Regular Session of the 68th Idaho Legislature is officially finished. The Senate adjourned Sine Die at 6:18 p.m. Thursday. The House followed suit at 6:29 p.m. Both chambers worked full days to clear to-do lists packed with appropriations bills and controversial legislation that had been lingering for weeks or rushed through committees this week. The capital Friday morning is as quiet as it’s been in months. Lawmakers who didn’t leave Boise last night are now well on their way.

The 2026 session lasted 81 days. Legislative service staff drafted more than 2,660 pieces of legislation, of which 815 became bills, resolutions, memorials or proclamations. By most measures, including the volume of bills introduced and passed, the 2026 Legislature topped the production metrics set in the last five years.
