Far Right R’s stall Idaho House again

• Nate’s bill move to call bill from committee rejected 57-13 /Eye on Boise
• Rep Nate tries to call Rep Ruble’s bill out of Ways & Means /Eye on Boise

The Idaho House came to a grinding halt for the second time this week after members attempted to force the body’s hand to vote on a previously blocked bill.

The nearly hour-long fight over whether or not to debate the bill Wednesday resulted with Majority Leadership Mike Moyle reprimanding the body’s far-right members that their attempts would lead the House into anarchy. This sparked objections from far-right Republicans, who countered they were using the proper legislative rules to conduct the debate.

The tension began when Rep. Ron Nate, a Republican from Rexburg, asked House Speaker Scott Bedke to pull a bill from the House Ways and Means Committee onto the House floor for a full vote even though the proposal had not yet been vetted by the panel/Associated Press. More here.
