Communication from Jennifer Novak, Secretary of the Idaho State Senate, transmitting a copy of the Senate Joint Memorial No. 112 that has passed the Idaho State Senate and the Idaho State House of Representatives during the Second Regular Session of the Sixty-eighth Idaho Legislature
This bill is a joint memorial that formally asks Idaho's federal representatives in Congress to lead efforts toward balancing the federal budget and reducing the national debt. The document calls for proposing a constitutional amendment that would require the federal government to maintain a balanced budget, a measure that would need approval from the states to take effect. It specifically highlights the long service records of Idaho's current senators and representatives, urging them to take the initiative on this fiscal issue. Ultimately, the resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of this request to the U.S. Congress and other state legislatures.
