Bill > S1009

This bill proposes to repeal Section 46-802 of the Idaho Code, which currently relates to prohibitions on unorganized associations and parades. While the specific details of the existing law are not provided in the bill text, the repeal suggests that previous restrictions on certain types of associations or public gatherings will be removed. The bill includes an emergency clause, indicating the lawmakers believe there is an urgent need to implement this change, and sets the effective date as July 1, 2025. By eliminating this section of the law, the bill appears to be expanding civil liberties related to assembly and association, potentially making it easier for groups to organize and conduct public gatherings without previous legal constraints. The brevity of the bill suggests a straightforward legislative action aimed at removing what may have been considered an overly restrictive statute.
