The resolution, brought to the floor for immediate and final consideration, praises the team’s actions as demonstrating “integrity” and urges the Mountain West Conference to change a policy the resolution says “directly discriminates against female student athletes.”

Sponsor remarks framed the measure as a defense of women’s athletics. Senate Carlson, presenting the resolution on the floor, said the measure “is not a transgender bill. This is a bill celebrating, women standing up for women's sports and women playing in women's sports.” Opponents argued the resolution injected the legislature into a broader debate about transgender people and public policy. Senator Taretsky said the measure “is now just another log on the fire of the social warfare attacks we're making on the trans community” and announced he would vote against the resolution.

Debate focused on whether the resolution was appropriate for legislative commemoration and the larger social and policy issues involved. Supporters said the resolution honored a team decision and called for conference-level policy change. Opponents said the resolution singled out a vulnerable group and risked escalating cultural conflict.

The question before the Senate was adoption of HCR 2. Following floor debate, the Senate voted by voice; the presiding officer declared, “The ayes have it. The resolution has been adopted.” The resolution will be returned to the House of Representatives, where it originated.

Votes and formal record: the motion to adopt was made by Senator Carlson and seconded (second not specified in the transcript). The final action was adoption by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

The resolution text cites Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 in its preamble; the Senate record shows no statutory change proposed — the measure is a concurrent resolution expressing legislative findings and urging a conference policy change.

Looking ahead, the resolution will be transmitted back to the House of Representatives. No follow-up legislative requirement or implementation task was recorded in the Senate floor discussion.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Legislative Session Day 36 February 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Idaho Senate on Feb. 10, 2025 adopted House Concurrent Resolution 2, commending the Boise State University women’s volleyball team for forfeiting matches rather than competing against a team that included what the resolution described as a “biological male.”","taxTitle","2025 Senate Legislative Sessions, 2025 Legislative Sessions, Idaho","taxId",77672,"location","Idaho","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6342210,"Senate passes bill tightening review of congregate care placements for children",280,3296000,3576000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2255508-578b14a385d915fe99f23da08b20132a&start=3296&end=3576","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2255508-578b14a385d915fe99f23da08b20132a/thumbnail_3296000.jpg","/articles/6342210/Idaho/Senate-passes-bill-tightening-review-of-congregate-care-placements-for-children","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6342210-a28f79f64e43282c2d855858f1572051/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159765&Signature=gxafeNC1Mfz-7FmRor1KTYnQxDe4bBexEIYMl5C01hHfBvB6cX7jKCVSmu9dYxyYDtgDkWkOQcnSloy7ZYYmwN8yQfXatcC4dx2~GjXo8oc8KDcezot6YtrzvFlMAifa~dTnupCfl9-K784EywBTwYswrzmig~Brdf9s~4b7eo04NvqlB3yyfAyUhYyKrHCjLSKEEFDXlIQTb6U1w7p2Qj0P3gxNcFZXPi3JzikQMfbH-Zvm7NgLo26DuTvmpg4HlTdCjYgY682HKOAmi82dIe~-iRu0q0CE-3lxDpS9h7lhnOCZM4xwzBvVOfmEY9CTGQAJ19LloBEdWHyLEabABQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho Senate on Feb. 10, 2025 passed Senate Bill 10‑35, a measure that revises the state’s rules for placing children in congregate care and changes review timing for residential treatment facilities.

Senator Wintrow, speaking as sponsor on the floor, said the bill builds on 2024 legislation that required the Department of Health and Welfare to place “eyes on” certain cases and to reduce the use of short-term rentals for foster placements. Wintrow told the Senate that in 2024, 175 foster children were placed in short-term rentals and hotels and said the new language keeps those oversight guardrails while amending review frequency for licensed residential treatment facilities where children with complex needs typically stay longer.

Under the amendment described on the floor, health‑department directors must assess residential treatment placements at defined intervals and verify treatment plans, progress toward discharge, and safety considerations. Supporters said the change reduces unnecessary paperwork and bureaucratic burdens on treatment providers while preserving accountability.

After brief debate and closing remarks from the sponsor, the Senate recorded a roll-call vote. The clerk announced a final count of 33 in favor with 2 absent; Senate Bill 10‑35 passed and will be transmitted to the House of Representatives.

The bill’s floor sponsor emphasized that the measure preserves protections against children being housed in unlicensed or short‑term facilities while tailoring oversight to the operational realities of residential treatment programs.","Senate Bill 10‑35 passed the Idaho Senate Feb. 10, 2025.

Senator Sarah Nichols, the bill sponsor, described the measure as focused on property rights, food security and family self-reliance. Nichols said the bill is “narrowly focused” and does not change city or county poultry rules; local governments would retain authority over poultry regulations in their jurisdictions. “This bill does one thing. It simply prevents HOAs from banning backyard chickens outright,” Nichols said on the floor.

Supporters argued rising food costs and supply-chain concerns make modest household food production an important option for many families. Senator Keiser described the rising retail price of eggs as an example of economic pressure on households and urged support. Several senators spoke in favor on those grounds.

Opponents raised contract and property-rights concerns. Senator Shippy said the bill could undermine voluntary contractual covenants and argued it could be retroactive to existing HOA agreements. Shippy said the bill “would undo existing covenants and contracts… It does act retroactively and would null any existing, not just moving forward” (floor remarks reflected in the transcript). Other senators said the bill strikes a balance by allowing HOAs to regulate placement, waste, and to prohibit roosters.

Senator Wintrow, who voted no, said the bill risked interfering with HOA agreements and expressed hesitancy despite personal support for chickens: “I don't think I'm gonna put all my eggs into this basket because unfortunately, while I love chickens, I love eggs, and the price of eggs… we have homeowners association agreements in code for a reason.”

The Senate passed SB 10‑26 by roll call; the clerk recorded a final tally of 28 in favor, 6 opposed and 1 absent. The bill will be transmitted to the House of Representatives.

The resolution’s sponsor said the committee will convene legislators, local officials, housing experts, and industry stakeholders during the interim to identify barriers to housing production and recommend solutions to increase housing density and affordability. The sponsor described the proposal as modeled on a bipartisan Montana working group formed in 2023 that produced policy recommendations to expand housing opportunities and streamline permitting.

Supporters said the study addresses rapid population growth that has increased housing demand and costs in Idaho. The resolution text directs legislative study and stakeholder engagement; it does not itself change statutes or appropriate funds beyond the study actions authorized by the resolution.

Floor debate was limited. After final debate, the Senate ordered a roll-call vote because the resolution contemplated the expenditure of funds under chamber rules. A roll-call recorded several names and included a change of vote by Senator Foreman from “I” to “nay.” The Senate reported the final count as 23 in favor, 10 opposed, with 2 excused absences. The Senate journal recorded that SCR 103 was adopted and the title approved; the resolution will be transmitted to the House.

The resolution calls for the interim committee to examine regulatory barriers, development timelines, potential zoning reforms, and options for financing infrastructure that would support higher-density housing. The sponsor emphasized public participation and local-government involvement in the study process.","Senate Concurrent Resolution 103 was adopted on Feb. 10, 2025 to establish an interim legislative committee to study state and local land-use regulations and their impact on housing supply in Idaho.
