The proposed bill amends Chapter 9, Title 18 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 18-915D, which prohibits individuals from wearing masks, hoods, or any devices that conceal their faces while committing or attempting to commit a criminal offense. This legislation aims to enhance penalties for such actions, stipulating that individuals found guilty of this offense will face an additional fine of up to $2,500, an additional term of imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, in addition to the penalties for the underlying crime.

The bill also includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. Furthermore, it declares an emergency, making the act effective from July 1, 2026.
