LIMITATIONS ON DRAFTING REQUESTS AND ROUTING SLIPS – States findings of the Legislature and provides for the addition of Joint Rule 24 to establish limitations on the number of pieces of draft legislation and the number of routing slips that may be requested by each member of the Legislature.

SCR 114 limits each Idaho legislator to requesting no more than 25 pieces of draft legislation and 10 completed routing slips annually (July 1-June 30). It applies to all senators and representatives but excludes budget-related drafts, committee-sponsored bills, amendments, and trailer bills. Exceptions require written approval from Senate or House leadership. This procedural rule aims to streamline legislative processes by capping request volumes, aligning with the Legislature’s stated goal of efficient consideration of key issues.
