Wild morning so far in the Statehouse…

Things are pretty chaotic on the House side of the rotunda today. The House Education Committee had a motion on the floor and was about to vote on Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll’s Bible-in-schools bill when House Assistant Majority Leader Brent Crane, R-Nampa, pulled them out to go to the floor before they could vote. The same thing happened in House State Affairs, which adjourned without finishing its hearing on the anti-Sharia law bill. Minimum-wage protesters are in the Capitol, where an attempt to get consideration for HB 400, the minimum-wage increase bill, failed on a party-line vote in the House.

Meanwhile, the Senate is debating controversial legislation to permit Idahoans over age 21 to carry concealed guns without a permit inside city limits.
