Eye On Boise

Most state offices closed today, but Legislature is in session…

Yes, today is a holiday – President’s Day – on which most state offices are closed. But the Legislature doesn’t take holidays, and it’s in session today. It is the day on which both houses commemorate past lawmakers who have died during the last year during their floor sessions, which both begin at 10:30; those ceremonies could push back action on more controversial issues, like the guns-on-campus bill, SB 1254, which is on the Senate’s third reading calendar, but the Senate may not get that far down its calendar this morning after the ceremonies.
