|||| LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF IDAHO ||||
Fifty-fifth Legislature Second Regular Session - 2000
IN THE SENATE
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 163
BY STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
1 A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
2 STATING LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND URGING THE STATE OF IDAHO AND POLITICAL SUB-
3 DIVISIONS TO CAREFULLY EXAMINE ANY CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT WITH OUTSIDE CON-
4 TRACTORS OR PROVIDERS SO THAT THEY ARE NOT DOING BUSINESS WITH A CORPORA-
5 TION OR ENTITY THAT IS ABROGATING RIGHTS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
6 UNITED STATES.
7 Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
8 WHEREAS, the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
9 provides that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be
10 infringed."; and
11 WHEREAS, Section 11, Article I of the Constitution of the State of Idaho
12 provides "The people have the right to keep and bear arms, which right shall
13 not be abridged..." and "No law shall impose licensure, registration or spe-
14 cial taxation on the ownership or possession of firearms or ammunition. Nor
15 shall any law permit the confiscation of firearms, except those actually used
16 in the commission of a felony."; and
17 WHEREAS, these basic fundamental rights guaranteed to the citizens by the
18 United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Idaho are the
19 basic cornerstones of a free society; and
20 WHEREAS, some corporate policies limit services to companies that make or
21 sell guns or provide shooting or training facilities; and
22 WHEREAS, some departments and institutions of the state of Idaho may do
23 business with such organizations; and
24 WHEREAS, a corporation or organization that is discriminating against peo-
25 ple acting within the law by exercising their fundamental constitutional
26 rights is not a corporation or organization with which state government should
27 do business.
28 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Second Regular Ses-
29 sion of the Fifty-fifth Idaho Legislature, the Senate and the House of Repre-
30 sentatives concurring therein, that we respectfully urge that all departments
31 and institutions of the state of Idaho that do business with outside contrac-
32 tors or service providers should carefully examine contracts when they come up
33 for renewal, and before entering into new contracts with a company or organi-
34 zation, to ensure that the state of Idaho does not do business with entities
35 that knowingly discriminate against Americans exercising their fundamental
36 constitutional rights.
