Idaho Bills

States findings of the Legislature and calls on Congress to pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

This memorial affirms the Idaho Legislature's commitment to the principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and accountability to the people in light of the nation's persistent deficit spending and a national debt exceeding $38 trillion. Recognizing that long-term fiscal instability threatens future generations of Americans, the Legislature calls on the Idaho federal delegation to lead and for Congress to exercise its constitutional authority under Article V to propose a Balanced Budget Amendment through the established and time-tested amendment process initiated by Congress and ratified by the states.
