Idaho lawmakers race to claim labor department credit
Idaho Republicans and Democrats race to claim credit for creating a state department of labor with nearly identical bills in the Senate and House. Both propose a labor department as an executive branch unit, with differences on appointment terms and oversight. The Senate killed a highway commission bill while minor measures passed, and a separate bill would tighten electrician bonding and inspection rules.
