BOISE — Rep. Lynn Luker, R-Boise, brought two hot-button bills to the House this session — one protecting occupational licensure in the case of denying services to individuals, the other allowing the denial of services if one cites “sincerely held religious beliefs.”
The first, House Bill 426, has not moved up for public hearing and is not expected to.
The second bill, House Bill 427, received almost three and a half hours of public hearing last week, largely in opposition to the bill. The bill was pulled from the House reading calendar and isn’t expected to reappear.
