Republicans Win Fight Over Unemployment Bill
In Boise Idaho Republicans blocked a move to table a bill changing unemployment benefit eligibility. The bill, backed by Sen. James Risch, was left in Commerce and Labor after a 14 21 rejection of tabling and a 13 22 vote to excuse the committee. The proposal would delay benefits until severance pay is exhausted. Several Democrats denounced the measure as anti worker and harmful to Idaho workers. The session also advanced a House memorial urging Congress to deny new firearm restrictions and reconsidered a licensed insurers sales bill to include supervised lenders.
