The Idaho Legislature abruptly recessed the 2021 session Friday morning due to an outbreak of COVID-19 among lawmakers, putting their work on pause until April 6. So where does this leave the bills that have been making their way through committees over the last couple of months? And will the outbreak of the virus spur changes in protocols at the statehouse? The Idaho Matters Reporter Roundtable tackles these questions and more.

Our journalist panel today:

Melissa Davlin of Idaho Public Television and Idaho Reports
Kevin Richert with Idaho Education News
Scott McIntosh from the Idaho Statesman

My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
