- ➤ Idaho judges will see a 10% pay boost starting July 1 after Gov. Brad Little signed House Bill 322 last month—raising salaries for magistrate, district, appellate and Supreme Court judges to attract more qualified legal talent. Coeur d'Alene Press
- ➤ Today, the Idaho Legislature passed several bills that limit local governments’ powers by banning mask and medical mandates, loosening child care standards, and blocking stricter local rules on public camping and EV charging — measures taking effect immediately or on July 1. State lawmakers say the changes reflect a long trend in state preemption — a move they claim will ensure uniform policies statewide, though local officials argue it weakens local control.
