ADMITTANCE TO THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE – Proposes an amendment to House Rule 70 to add certain restrictions regarding admittance to the floor of the House.

This Idaho House resolution (HR 4) amends Rule 70 to restrict access to the House floor during sessions. It limits admittance to legislators, legislative employees, and news media representatives, requiring elected state officials and former legislators to wear badges and be sponsored by a current legislator to enter. Non-sponsorship visitors must clear the Speaker and Sergeant at Arms for access. The rule explicitly prohibits all others from being on the floor while the chamber is conducting business, except under specific Speaker authorization. The bill focuses solely on procedural access rules, not substantive policy changes.
