Unlike many state bars, the Idaho State Bar cannot take positions on legislative matters, rules of court, or substantive rules governing the Bar itself at its Annual Meeting or by act of its Bar Commissioners without first submitting such matters to the membership through the Resolution Process.

The Resolution Process is set forth in Idaho Bar Commission Rule 906. Resolutions may be submitted by a District Bar Association, the Board of Commissioners, a Bar committee, or an individual member of the Bar. Resolutions submitted by a District Bar Association, the Board of Commissioners, or the Idaho Supreme Court are automatically included in the resolution process.

Idaho Bar Commission Rule 906 governs the Resolution Process. Resolutions for the 2026 Resolution Process must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. MDT on September 25, 2026.  If you have questions about the process or are interested in submitting a resolution, contact Maureen Ryan Braley at mryanbraley@isb.idaho.gov or (208) 334-4500.

Resolution Process Voter Pamphlet will be available soon.
