‘Add The Words’ is third on the agenda

The “Add The Words” bill, which would add the words “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to Idaho’s Human Rights Act, to ban discrimination on that basis in housing and employment, is the third item on the agenda this morning in the Senate State Affairs Committee. First up is a proposal for GARVEE bonding for highway projects, followed by a proposed bill about state rulemaking. The crowd, however, is clearly here for “Add The Words.”
