The proposed bill introduces a new Chapter 7 to Title 74 of the Idaho Code, establishing 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, matters covered by existing law, or an employee's own claims against the state. Additionally, employees may still 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 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, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
