Bill > H0621

This bill amends existing Idaho law concerning prohibited conduct related to concealed weapons, specifically clarifying where concealed weapons are not allowed. It revises the prohibition against carrying a concealed weapon to explicitly include "the courtroom portions of a courthouse," which are now defined to encompass specific areas like courtrooms, judges' chambers, jury deliberation rooms, and offices of court clerks, among others. The bill also clarifies that carrying a concealed weapon is prohibited in juvenile detention facilities or jails, and in public or private schools, with certain exceptions for law enforcement, security personnel, and authorized individuals. Additionally, it maintains the prohibition against providing false information on an application for a concealed weapon permit. The bill also makes technical corrections and sets an effective date of July 1, 2027.
