This bill introduces a new chapter, Chapter 70, to Title 33 of the Idaho Code, focusing on the integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in education. It outlines the legislative intent to ensure the responsible and ethical use of generative AI technologies in K-12 public schools, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding student privacy, enhancing educational practices, and preparing students for a technology-driven economy. The bill mandates the State Department of Education to develop a comprehensive framework for generative AI in education, which will include guidelines for instructional integration, data security, and accessibility, as well as the establishment of standards and professional development for educators.

Additionally, the bill requires local school districts and public charter schools to adopt policies governing the use of generative AI, ensuring alignment with the statewide framework and compliance with relevant laws. It also calls for the development of generative AI literacy standards for students, assessment guidelines, and a guidance document for parents to promote transparency. The State Board of Education is granted rulemaking authority to implement these provisions, and the bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, following the declaration of an emergency.
