Former Republican governor Phil Batt, generally acknowledged as one of the primary architects of Idaho’s civil rights legislation, passed away at the age of 96.

Batt passed away “peacefully at home” on his 96th birthday, according to a statement released by the office of Governor Brad Little on Saturday morning.

“Having held the positions of Governor, Lt. Governor, and Senator, Governor Phil Batt was the model of a public worker. His unwavering commitment to advancing human rights, his fierce fiscal conservatism, and his lasting affection for Idaho stand out as hallmarks of his legacy, according to a statement from Little.

Flags must fly at half-staff until Batt’s incarceration, which has not yet been made public, per a governor’s office directive.

Details about the former governor’s formal funeral will be announced at the Idaho Capitol.
