    Idaho 2017 legislative highlights

    The Idaho Legislature adjourned 80 days after convening and saw over 780 pieces of legislation prepared with 330 signed into law and 7 becoming law without a signature. The Governor vetoed 8 bills, including the bill to remove Idaho’s sales tax from groceries. 

    In Idaho, NWGA supported the expansion of retail pharmacist’s authority to prescribe low-risk drugs to grocery customers, supported the establishment of a dedicated account for underground storage tanks fees to ensure grocers’ fees go only to the underground storage tank program. In addition, attempts to raise the statewide minimum wage did not advance.
