The proposed bill amends Chapter 23, Title 67 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 67-2364, which establishes limitations on the use of digital identification by public entities. It defines "digital identification" as an electronic credential issued by a public entity for identity verification and outlines that no person can be required to obtain or use such identification. Furthermore, it prohibits public entities from denying services or benefits based on an individual's refusal or inability to use digital identification, ensuring that physical identification remains valid for governmental purposes.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions that protect individuals' privacy by preventing public entities from requiring access to personal electronic devices for identity verification and from tracking or retaining identity data beyond a transaction. It allows individuals aggrieved by violations of these provisions to seek legal remedies, including declaratory or injunctive relief, statutory damages, and civil penalties against public entities that knowingly violate the section. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2026.
