D’s introduce ‘Add the Words’ bill

Idaho Democrats in the House and Senate have introduced the “Add the Words” bill – to add the words “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the Idaho Human Rights Act to ban discrimination on those grounds – as a personal bill in the Idaho House, just in time for Friday’s deadline for introduction of personal bills. Those are measures that don’t first go through a committee. “We continue to work on a solution,” said House Minority Leader Mat Erpelding, D-Boise, “but that’s the bill that is our preference, and we have not been offered a hearing on it”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
