The Idaho Senate completed most of its work Thursday and gave itself a long weekend, while House lawmakers popped out two more party-line votes before calling it a day.
The House plans to move a few bills around on its floor calendar this morning and then head home. Both chambers will be back at it Monday, as the third-longest legislative session in state history continues to wind a slow path toward adjournment.
Some details on the day:
The joint budget committee met for the first time in a week and approved three new bills appropriating a combined $81 million in American Rescue Plan pandemic relief funds.

Republicans last week killed the budget for Idaho’s public colleges and universities, which they accused of indoctrinating kids by teaching social justice concepts and critical race theory. Critical race theory elevates race when considering implications for educational and societal inequity.
On Tuesday, it was more of the same – this time for a $1.1 billion bill paying K-12 teacher salaries.
Rep. Heather Scott (R-Blanchard) said she supports educators, “But we need to protect our teachers from being forced to teach this garbage of social justice, including critical race theory.”
Specifically, Scott and others want to forbid any social justice or critical race theory lessons in the classroom by tacking on specific legislative intent language in the bill. They also want to block any of the $9 million intended for professional development from going towards teachers learning how to teach about social justice.
