CAPITOL MALL -- Amends existing law to provide that certain persons may be banned from the Capitol building, the Supreme Court building, Capitol Mall properties, and multiagency facilities.

CAPITOL MALL

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The Department of Administration and the Idaho State Police jointly provide security for the Capitol Mall. The proposed legislation enhances this security by empowering the Director of the Idaho Department of Administration and the Idaho State Police (plus their representatives) to ban disruptive or non-compliant individuals from entering the Capitol and Supreme Court buildings for up to one year; imposes time limits on how long “symbolic tents” and other structures may remain erected in the Capitol Mall; and formally defines “camping,” while still permitting side‑free canopies for shelter. Additionally, it broadens the scope of property that may be held for at least 90-days.
