The bill amends Chapter 3, Title 5 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 5-349, which establishes provisions regarding the immunity of Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management (BTAM) teams in schools. The legislation aims to enhance school safety by preventing targeted violence through the implementation of BTAM teams, which consist of a multidisciplinary group of school personnel and community members trained to identify and manage potential threats. The bill defines key terms related to BTAM, including "imminent risk" and "targeted violence," and mandates that the Idaho school safety and security program provide guidelines and training for these teams.

Importantly, the bill provides legal immunity to BTAM teams and their individual members from liability for damages or injuries resulting from their failure to prevent acts of targeted violence, as long as they acted in good faith and followed the established guidelines. The immunity provisions are designed to encourage proactive threat assessments without the fear of legal repercussions, while still ensuring compliance with state and federal laws regarding privacy and parental rights. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2025.
