Bill Summary

LEGISLATURE -- Amends existing law to revise a provision regarding intervention by the Legislature in an action regarding an Idaho statute.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Idaho law to revise a provision regarding intervention by the Idaho Legislature in an action challenging the constitutionality or validity of an Idaho statute. The key changes are: 1) the Legislature can now intervene in such actions at the sole discretion of the Senate President Pro Tempore or the Speaker of the House, without needing to serve a motion upon the parties; and 2) the language is expanded from challenges to the "constitutionality" of a statute to also include challenges claiming a statute violates or is preempted by federal law, or challenges the construction or validity of a statute. The bill also declares an emergency, making the changes effective on July 1, 2023.
