House OKs ‘Grandson Of Nullification’

HB 298, nicknamed the “grandson of nullification” as the latest version of legislation aimed at barring the national health care reform law from being implemented in Idaho, has passed the Senate on a 24-11 vote and headed to the governor’s desk. This version targets the discretionary portions of the act, and says Idaho won’t do anything to comply with those for one year; it also prevents the state from accepting federal funds to implement the act/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.
