HCR 11 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP – States findings of the Legislature and encourages local governments to support youth entrepreneurship.

This resolution encourages Idaho's cities, counties, and local governments to support youth entrepreneurs by waiving fees and simplifying rules for businesses run by minors (under 18). It specifically urges local governments to eliminate permitting and licensing fees for youth-operated businesses, streamline regulatory requirements while maintaining safety, and create community events to showcase young entrepreneurs' work. The resolution does not create new laws but recommends these actions to foster youth business development and community engagement. It directly affects young people starting small ventures like lemonade stands or craft sales, and local governments that choose to adopt these recommendations.
