SCR 102 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

COVID-19 – States findings of the Legislature and authorizes the Legislative Council to establish a committee to complete a study of Idaho’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

SCR 102 is a legislative resolution authorizing Idaho's Legislative Council to form a committee to study the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee will examine whether state actions during the pandemic - such as emergency declarations, business closures, and mask mandates - violated constitutional rights or state laws. It does not change existing laws but directs a formal review of government conduct. The committee must report its findings to the next legislative session by February 2026. This resolution affects how Idaho's government will assess its past pandemic policies, not the policies themselves.
