Merger comes after the governor recommended phasing out funding
The Idaho Senate voted 34-0 Wednesday in support of the proposed merger between the Idaho Department of Labor and the Idaho Human Rights Commission (IHRC). The merger plans now head to Gov. Butch Otter for approval. In January, Otter called for the phaseout of state funding to IHRC. The proposed merger will reduce IHRC’s state funding during the next four years.
