Boise–The Idaho Republican Party yesterday released the text of a pair of letters sent to two Senate chairmen, urging them to schedule hearings on three bills that are currently being held in their drawers. The Facebook post announcing the letters reads:
The Idaho GOP Executive Board voted to strongly urge two Senate committee chair to hold hearings for important bills that already passed the House of Representatives.
To that end, Chairwoman Dorothy Moon sent letters to Sens. Dan Foreman and Jim Guthrie this afternoon.
House Bill 745, prohibiting taxpayer funds for teacher’s unions, is supported by a unanimous resolution at the Winter Meeting earlier this year.
The Idaho GOP requests Senate Commerce & Human Resources Chairman Dan Foreman to schedule H745 for a hearing as soon as possible.
House Bills 700 and 704 hold employers accountable for knowingly hiring illegal aliens. Idaho’s Republican grassroots have long supported strong enforcement of immigration laws.
The Idaho GOP requests Senate State Affairs Chairman Jim Guthrie to hear these bills immediately.
The Idaho GOP is proud to represent the grassroots of the Gem State. On behalf of thousands of volunteers and more than half a million Republican voters, we request Chairman Foreman and Chairman Guthrie do right by the people of Idaho.
