The Idaho Legislature is considering limiting the length of sessions
to just 90 calendar days to save money, conserve the time of government
workers and encourage a more diverse legislature. The House State
Affairs Committee voted today to consider putting a constitutional
amendment on November’s ballot. There’s currently no limit on Idaho
sessions. Boise Democrat Grant Burgoyne said lawmakers should at
least discuss imposing deadlines in light of the 2009 session, which
ran for 117 days. That was the second-longest session in Idaho’s history/
