The proposed bill introduces a new chapter, Chapter 71, to Title 18 of the Idaho Code, titled the "Property Rights Protection Act." This chapter establishes specific provisions aimed at protecting private property rights by restricting government agents from entering private land not open to the public without a valid search warrant, exigent circumstances, or the lawful consent of the property owner or lessee. It defines key terms such as "exigent circumstances," "government agent," and "private land," and outlines the limited access rights of government agents, which allow them to approach residences but prohibit them from conducting searches beyond what is visible from public vantage points.

Additionally, the bill outlines civil and criminal liabilities for government agents who violate these provisions. A civil penalty of $1,000 per occurrence is imposed on agents who knowingly breach the law, and aggrieved individuals can seek damages and attorney's fees through civil action. However, the bill specifies that certain government officials, such as county sheriffs and police officers, are exempt from these penalties. The act also clarifies that it does not interfere with various lawful activities, such as conducting investigations from public vantage points or entering private land for specific legal purposes. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
