On Thursday, the House voted 53-17 to pass House Bill 189, and 59-11 to pass House Bill 190, to ensure that Idaho taxpayer dollars do not go to businesses that boycott the firearm industry, among other industries. The bills now go to the Senate for further consideration. Please contact your state senator and ask them to SUPPORT HB 189 and HB 190.
House Bill 189 prohibits public contracts with individuals or companies that are boycotting certain industries, including those that engage in or support the manufacture, distribution, sale, or use of firearms.
House Bill 190 requires that banks and credit unions that are designated depositories for public money do not boycott industries important to the State of Idaho and the livelihood of its citizens, including those that engage in or support the manufacture, distribution, sale, or use of firearms. Anti-gun banks and their executives have expressed interest in denying services to the firearm industry as a way to further their political agenda and impose gun control by making such business impossible when legislatures won’t bend to their will.
Again, please contact your state senator and ask them to SUPPORT HB 189 and HB 190.
