Bill > S1003

This bill amends existing law to revise the authority of the governor during a state of "extreme peril" in Idaho. It clarifies that the governor may proclaim a state of extreme peril due to various emergency situations, including riots, insurrection, or attacks by terrorists or foreign nations. During such a state of extreme peril, the governor has broad authority to issue rules and orders to protect life and property, but these rules cannot restrict certain rights like the right to work or assemble. The bill also limits the governor's ability to extend a state of extreme peril beyond 30 days without the legislature's approval, and prohibits the governor from altering, adjusting, or suspending any provision of the Idaho Code during such a state. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
