Sen. LeFavour attempting to amend Senate bill to add ‘Add The Words’ measure

Sen. Nicole LeFavour, D-Boise, is attempting to amend SB 1215, legislation regarding prison contraband, to add into it the "Add The Words" bill expanding the Idaho Human Rights Act to cover discrimination in housing and employment on the basis of sexual orientation; the act now covers discrimination for race, religion and disability. Senate Assistant Majority Leader Chuck Winder, R-Meridian, ruled LeFavour's amendment "not germane." She protested, saying both are in Title 18 of the state code.
