This bill introduces new provisions in Idaho law regarding immigration offenses, specifically addressing illegal entry and reentry by aliens. It establishes a new Chapter 90 in Title 18 of the Idaho Code, defining terms and outlining the crimes of illegal entry from a foreign nation, illegal reentry by certain aliens, and refusal to comply with an order to return to a foreign nation. The bill stipulates that illegal entry is a misdemeanor for a first offense and a felony for subsequent offenses, while illegal reentry can also be classified as a felony under certain conditions. Additionally, it prohibits the abatement of prosecution based on immigration status determinations.

Furthermore, the bill amends Title 19 by adding a new Chapter 63, which details the process for issuing orders to return to a foreign nation, including requirements for law enforcement and the conditions under which such orders can be issued. It also introduces new sections in Chapter 3 of Title 5, providing civil immunity and indemnification for local and state officials, employees, and contractors acting in accordance with the new immigration laws. These provisions aim to protect officials from liability while enforcing immigration laws, with specific limits on indemnification payments. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage.
