Record fields

One row per measure (bill, resolution, memorial, or proclamation), across the 2019-2026 sessions.

  • year: Legislative session year the measure was introduced in.
  • number: The Legislature's measure number, e.g. H0503, S1307, HCR010.
  • issue: Which of this dataset's five policy areas the measure was sorted into. See the dataset caveats: this is an editorial classification, not the Legislature's own label.
  • subject: The Legislature's own subject label for the measure, verbatim. Empty on measures with no subject label at all, chiefly rule-review resolutions.
  • description: The Legislature's short description of the measure, verbatim.
  • status: The Legislature's final status string for the measure.
  • outcome: Normalized final outcome: one of enacted, adopted, vetoed, failed, died. 'adopted' covers resolutions and memorials, which are not enacted into code; 'failed' means the measure lost a recorded floor vote; 'died' means it never reached one.
  • chapter: Session law chapter number when the measure was enacted, otherwise blank.
  • url: The measure's page on the Idaho Legislature's site.
  • sponsor: Who introduced the measure, as the Legislature records it. See the dataset caveats: overwhelmingly a standing committee, not a named legislator.
  • actionCount: Number of recorded actions (committee referrals, readings, votes, signature) parsed from the measure's detail page.

Caveats

  • Issue is this dataset's own five-way classification of a measure's subject label, not a category the Legislature publishes.
  • Sponsor is usually the originating committee rather than a named legislator; 2 of 70 agricultural measures in the 2026 session named an individual.
  • The Legislature's subject label for a policy is not stable across sessions; the same policy can carry a different label, and a different issue classification, year to year.
  • A small number of measures are included or excluded by override rather than by subject label, for example rule-review resolutions with no subject label at all.
