AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to revise the definitions of "disaster," "militia," and "disaster emergency account," and to define "epidemic" and "pandemic." The bill expands the definition of "disaster" to include epidemics, pandemics, and cybersecurity incidents, while excluding violent acts that constitute a state of extreme peril. The definition of "militia" is broadened to include all members of the Idaho Army and Air National Guard in the service of the state. The "disaster emergency account" is clarified to cover obligations and expenses arising out of a declared state of disaster emergency. The bill also provides definitions for "epidemic" and "pandemic" based on specific thresholds of attack rates and fatality rates.
