STATE AFFAIRS – States findings of the Legislature and asks Idahoans to recognize a day of fasting and prayer on March 1, 2026.
HCR 28 is a symbolic legislative resolution urging Idaho residents to voluntarily observe March 1, 2026, as a day of fasting and prayer. It asks Idahoans to pray for peaceful resolutions to political violence and social division, for abundant snow and rain to address water shortages, and for wisdom in decision-making by state and federal leaders. The resolution does not create new laws or obligations - it is a non-binding call for voluntary participation, referencing historical precedents like presidential proclamations and other states' similar observances. It directly affects all Idaho residents by encouraging personal, spiritual reflection on these specific issues.
