The proposed bill amends Title 74 of the Idaho Code by adding a new Chapter 7, which establishes provisions regarding state employee loyalty. Under this chapter, state employees are prohibited from assisting any person or entity in legal matters against the state of Idaho. The bill defines "assist" to include acting as an agent, consultant, or attorney in claims against the state, and outlines what constitutes a "legal matter." However, the provisions do not apply to work performed in the course of official duties or to matters covered by existing law. Additionally, employees retain the right to pursue their own claims against the state and can serve as fact witnesses when subpoenaed.

The bill empowers the attorney general to bring civil actions against individuals who violate these provisions, with penalties of up to $10,000 for each violation or the amount of compensation received for the prohibited conduct, whichever is greater. Violators will also face termination from state employment. The bill declares an emergency, indicating that it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
