This bill amends Chapter 70, Title 18 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 18-7045, which establishes the crimes of impeding a strategic facility and strategic facility trespass. The bill defines "strategic facilities" to include various critical infrastructure such as refineries, power generating facilities, telecommunications infrastructure, and military facilities, among others. It outlines the penalties for impeding a strategic facility, which can range from a misdemeanor to a felony depending on the extent of damage or economic loss caused. Similarly, strategic facility trespass is classified with specific penalties based on whether it is a first or subsequent offense.

Additionally, the bill provides exceptions to these offenses, such as for landowners engaged in lawful activities or individuals involved in legal disputes regarding access to the land. It also allows for civil actions against individuals or organizations that aid in committing these crimes. Importantly, the bill clarifies that it does not apply to public demonstrations or expressions of free speech protected under the U.S. Constitution or the Idaho Constitution. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective immediately upon passage and approval.
