Fully KeptFact-checker reviewConfidence: 76%

All three cited sources were verified. (1) S1354 (Idaho Legislature, PRIMARY) is reachable and the description quote matches verbatim; the vote history (Senate 25-10 on 3/20/26, House 47-23 on 3/26/26), Governor Little's signature 3/31/26, and Session Law Chapter 265 (effective 7/1/2026) are all confirmed — direct documentation of removing a zoning/regulatory barrier to housing (ADUs), signed by Little. (2) The SPEED Act press release (Governor's Office, PRIMARY) is reachable and the quote appears verbatim; however the fetch confirms EO 2025-02 targets general infrastructure permitting (electricity, mining, data centers, water), NOT housing — the rationale discloses this honestly and does not overstate it. It supports the "advance permitting reforms" language generally. (3) The BoiseDev article (REPUTABLE_SECONDARY) returned 403 to automated fetch (bot-block) but is genuine: WebSearch confirmed the exact headline "Governor Little signs two bills cutting local zoning rules" and content showing Little signed SB 1352 and SB 1354, already signed HB 800, and would consider HB 706 — regulatory-barrier removal to increase housing supply. The compound promise's dominant thrust — working with legislators to remove regulatory barriers to increase housing supply — is fully delivered via signed legislation. FULL (not CHAMPIONED) is correct because drafting/leadership is attributed to a bipartisan legislative interim committee, with Little's role being agenda-setting (State of the State) plus signature, not authorship. No fabricated quotes; the single 403 is a bot-block on a real, quote-accurate article, not a dead link, so it does not warrant rejection. Confidence set at 0.76 (slightly below the original 0.78) because the housing-specific permitting-reform prong leans on the SPEED Act, which is general infrastructure permitting rather than housing.
