When the Idaho Legislature reconvenes Tuesday following an abrupt 17-day recess brought on by a COVID-19 Statehouse outbreak, Idahoans will be able to follow the action without leaving their home or office.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Legislature and Idaho Public Television have offered live streaming video of all committee hearings and floor sessions in both the House and Senate all session via the Legislatureâs website for the first time.
Hollie Conde, the legislative and public lands coordinator for Conservation Voters for Idaho, and Kendal Shaber, a Boise-based historian, say the streaming video feeds and information on the Legislatureâs website (including links to bills and committee agendas) helps them track the session safely and remotely during the pandemic.
