The Associated Press reports that two state lawmakers have filed a lawsuit against the Legislature and Republican Speaker of the House Scott Bedke. In the suit, Democrats Sue Chew of Boise and Muffy Davis of Ketchum say they have not been provided sufficient accommodations for the legislative session without serious risks to their health, and ask that they be permitted to participate in the session remotely. The legislative session begins Monday.
