This bill introduces new provisions in Idaho law regarding immigration, specifically addressing illegal entry and reentry by aliens. It establishes Chapter 90 in Title 18 of the Idaho Code, defining terms related to immigration offenses 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 determination.

Furthermore, the bill amends Title 19 by adding Chapter 63, which details the process for issuing orders to return to a foreign nation, including requirements for law enforcement and judicial oversight. 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 provisions. These protections are designed to shield officials from liability while enforcing the law, with specific limits on indemnification payments. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage.
