This bill amends Chapter 63 of Title 67 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 67-6303, which establishes provisions for assisting individuals litigating against the federal government, particularly concerning grazing or water rights. The bill defines key terms such as "Council," referring to the constitutional defense council, and "Petitioner," which denotes any Idaho citizen involved in such legal proceedings. It outlines the process for petitioners to request state assistance, including funding for private counsel, reimbursement of attorney's fees, legal representation from the attorney general's office, or state intervention.

The council is required to respond to petitions within thirty days and must consider various factors, including the societal importance of the rights involved, the potential benefits to Idaho citizens, and the availability of state resources when deciding whether to grant assistance. The bill emphasizes that state participation should serve the public interest and help maintain Idaho's sovereignty. Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2025.
