After several failed motions on procedural questions, the Idaho GOP convention has voted unanimously to adopt all the resolutions proposed by its resolutions committee, including opposition to the Obama Administration’s guidance on school bathroom use by transgender students; calling for amending the Idaho Constitution to “expressly permit” the use of the Bible in the state’s public schools; and more.

Here’s a summary of the approved resolutions, which aren’t binding, but express the positions of the party:

P1 – Calls for awarding a military occupational specialty to graduates of the U.S. Army sniper course. It calls on Idaho’s congressional delegation to make the proposal in the House and Senate Armed Services committees.

P2 – Calls for the Idaho Republican Party and its central committees to host candidate forums to educate voters about nonpartisan judicial races.

P3 – Calls for Idaho to oppose and resist the Obama Administration’s guidance to schools on bathroom use by transgender students.

P4 – Calls for Idaho driver’s licenses to specify whether the license holder “is a U.S. citizen or a lawful immigrant,” and calls for stricter citizenship documentation requirements to get an Idaho driver’s license.

P5 – Calls for amending the Idaho Constitution to “expressly permit” use of the Bible in schools, mirroring legislation that was vetoed this year by Gov. Butch Otter over constitutional concerns.

P6 – Calls on Otter to call a special session of the Idaho Legislature to pass a law requiring “provisional ballots” for people who register at the polls under Idaho’s same-day registration requirements, and also calls for same-day registration to be abolished if no new provisional balloting law is passed and signed into law. The resolution also calls for provisional ballots for voters who sign an affidavit rather than show a photo ID. The provisional ballots wouldn’t be opened or counted, instead being set aside for tabulation later, only if the voter’s eligibility has been verified.
