Idaho Bills

This bill would create a new Idaho law declaring a strong presumption that the state government has jurisdiction over matters occurring within Idaho unless the U.S. Constitution clearly and specifically grants authority to the federal government.

Amends existing law to revise and remove provisions regarding flags flown by a governmental entity, to provide a penalty, and to establish provisions regarding enforcement by the Attorney General.

This legislation amends Idaho Code to revise provisions regarding flags flown by government entities and to establish provisions regarding enforcement by the Attorney General. Failure of a government entity to comply will be subject to a civil penalty of $2000 per flag each day flag is displayed. The Attorney General will have the duty to enforce this penalty against a government entity. If there is a failure to comply, the Attorney General has the authority to file a civil action in District Court.
