Bill Analysis
This section examines proposed and enacted Idaho legislation through a liberty-focused lens. Each analysis asks a simple question: how does this bill shift authority between voters, legislators, and the state?
The goal is to clarify, not to persuade.
Each bill analysis is structured to explain:
What the proposal does in plain language
Where legal or constitutional authority lies
How the decision is made
Who gains or loses decision-making power
Readers are encouraged to review original source material and form their own conclusions.
Analyses are based on publicly available information at the time of publication and may be updated as legislation changes.
