Idaho Bills

States findings of the Senate and supports observing an official time of prayer each day of the regular session of the Idaho Legislature.

Observing an official time of prayer to begin legislative and deliberative sessions is an indispensable and long-held tradition. This is illuminated by a wealth of words and actions from our founding fathers and civil governments throughout American history. Furthermore, our Supreme Court has historically recognized that states do well to retain and encourage time-honored expressions of the religious traditions at the root of our social fabric. Seeking the blessing of God, the Idaho Senate is resolved to maintain this American tradition of observing an official time of prayer to start each floor session during the First Regular Session of the Sixty-eighth Idaho Legislature.
