The Legislative Council approved the ballot language for two proposed amendments that were put forward by Republican legislators.

- House Joint Resolution 4 would amend the Idaho Constitution so that only the Idaho Legislature has the authority to legalize marijuana and other narcotics.
- House Joint Resolution 6 would amend the Idaho Constitution so that English would be the official state language of Idaho.
