The proposed bill amends several sections of the Idaho Code related to the Terrorist Control Act, with a focus on defining and addressing domestic terrorism. Key amendments include the introduction of a definition for "domestic terrorism," which encompasses activities conducted within Idaho that involve cooperation with foreign terrorist organizations, violations of Idaho law, and violent acts intended to harm human life or disrupt lawful activities. The bill also establishes penalties for individuals involved in domestic terrorism, including severe consequences for conspiring to commit such acts.

Additionally, the bill revises the legislative purpose to affirm citizens' rights to assemble and express beliefs while clarifying that conspiracies and training for unlawful acts of terrorism are not protected under the constitution. It further expands the definition of murder to include acts of terrorism and domestic terrorism, and it eliminates the statute of limitations for prosecuting these crimes. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2025.
