Bill > S1345

This bill aims to prohibit law enforcement and conservation officers from entering private property without a warrant or explicit permission from the landowner or lessee, except in certain circumstances. The bill provides legislative intent, citing court rulings in other states that have established additional protections for private property rights beyond the Fourth Amendment. The bill then amends the Idaho Code to add new sections that outline the specific conditions under which law enforcement and conservation officers can enter private property, such as when there is probable cause of a violation, an emergency, or to fulfill lawful duties. The bill declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2024.
