Bill > H0002

This bill amends, adds to, and repeals existing law in Idaho to provide for the withholding of sales and use tax revenues from local government entities that defy state law and refuse to investigate or enforce Idaho's criminal abortion statutes. The key provisions include: - Prohibiting the use of public funds, facilities, and assets for abortion-related activities, with some exceptions for medical emergencies and certain contracts. - Prohibiting public institutions and employees from providing or promoting abortion services. - Allowing the state to withhold sales and use tax revenue distributions from local governments that refuse to enforce Idaho's criminal abortion laws, with the possibility of forfeiting the withheld funds if compliance is not certified within 180 days. - Imposing penalties, including potential criminal liability, for public officers or employees who violate the provisions of the bill.
