Amends existing law to provide a certain exception regarding concealed weapons, to revise provisions regarding preemption of firearms regulation, and to provide for civil enforcement for violations.

This bill clarifies existing law and strengthens enforcement of Idaho’s firearm preemption policy by amending Idaho Code §§ 18-3302(25) and 18-3302J by ensuring Idaho’s local governments do not limit an individual’s ability to carry a firearm in public for self-defense on public property when such public property has been rented, leased, or permitted to a private entity for short durations for special events. The changes to these code sections do not affect long-term leases and uses of public property by private entities. The changes also do not affect federal property.
