Bill Would Boot Leaders w/DUIs

A deeply divided House State Affairs Committee voted this morning to introduce legislation proposed by Rep. Julie Ellsworth, R-Boise, (pictured) to amend House rules to say that any member of leadership who is convicted of a DUI or drug offense would lose his or her leadership post. “It basically says if you’re a member of leadership in your current term, if you’re found guilty of a DUI or a drug offense, you’re not eligible to complete that current leadership term,” Ellsworth told the committee. “I believe that it creates a standard, it puts it in place so that issues don’t come into play when a situation arises. I like the idea of a standard”/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise. More here.
