ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO – Proposes an amendment to House Rule 40 to prohibit the consumption of tobacco and alcohol in the House chamber or gallery while the House is in session.

HR 3 (Idaho House Resolution) proposes amending House Rule 40 to prohibit the consumption of tobacco products (including vaping) and alcohol in the House chamber or gallery during official sessions. The bill directly affects House members, staff, and visitors present in those areas while the House is in session. Its key provision explicitly adds "tobacco products" and "alcoholic beverages" to the list of prohibited items under Rule 40's session decorum rules. This is a procedural change to House rules, not a new law, aiming to maintain decorum during legislative proceedings.
