Bill Summary
SELF-DEFENSE -- Adds to existing law to provide for immunity from criminal prosecution when force is used in certain instances and to provide for reimbursement for a defendant in certain instances.
AI Summary
This bill adds a new section to existing Idaho law to provide immunity from criminal prosecution for the use of force that is justified in self-defense or the defense of others, as defined in the state's criminal code. It also requires the county to reimburse the defendant for reasonable costs related to their defense if they are found not guilty by reason of self-defense. The bill specifies procedures for courts to follow when a self-defense claim is raised, including holding a pretrial immunity hearing and placing the burden of proof on the party seeking to overcome the immunity provision. The bill also includes severability and emergency clauses.
