This bill aims to enhance the security and integrity of elections in Idaho by granting the Attorney General concurrent authority to investigate and prosecute election-related offenses. The legislative intent is to strengthen enforcement mechanisms, deter unlawful activities, and uphold the rule of law in the electoral process.

To implement this, the bill amends Chapter 14, Title 67 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 67-1417, which explicitly allows the Attorney General to investigate and prosecute all criminal and civil violations related to election laws as outlined in chapter 23, title 18, and title 34 of the Idaho Code. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
