BILL INTRODUCTION LIMITS AND TRANSPARENCY – Proposes and amendment to House Rule 6 to add certain bill introduction limits and to require certain transparency in the origin of legislation.

HR 18 amends Idaho House Rule 6 to limit how many bills each member can introduce and require transparency about who proposed non-member bills. It restricts most members to sponsoring no more than 12 bills per session (excluding appropriations and agency-sponsored bills), mandates clear "lead sponsor" labeling, and prohibits reintroducing failed bills until after the next regular session. The bill also requires disclosure of lobbyists, agencies, or organizations that proposed bills not originating from a member’s own initiative, unless the idea came from an unaffiliated constituent. These changes aim to streamline the legislative process and increase accountability for bill origins.
