GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Coeur d’Alene police and state lawmakers approved House Concurrent Resolution 17 to denounce recent political violence in North Idaho that involved pulling a fire alarm at a public meeting, an assault on a trustee by throwing water, the arson of a legislator’s business and threats against a legislator. The resolution states that political disagreements must be settled by debate & due process while investigations continue into these cases. Coeur d'Alene Press
- ➤ Since 2018, Idaho taxpayers have received a $205 credit for each child under 17, but the credit will end before Jan. 1 as lawmakers did not renew it during the legislative session. Analysts say many families may face higher taxes because the new tax cuts do not fully offset the loss of the credit — impacting those who did not benefit from broader tax relief. Coeur d'Alene Press
- ➤ Gov. Brad Little signed a new law that cuts state funds for vaccinations for people in the U.S. illegally and limits benefits like prenatal care—effective July 1. Health providers say the rule may deter patients from seeking care even as emergency services remain available. KXLY
