This bill amends Chapter 1, Title 20 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 20-112, which establishes provisions for the conditional release and deportation of illegal alien offenders. The bill defines "illegal alien offender" as individuals sentenced to the custody of the state board of correction and confined in a penal or correctional institution or county jail. It allows the director of the department of correction to place these offenders on conditional release status and transfer them to immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) for deportation prior to the end of their confinement term, provided they have a final order of deportation or exclusion from the U.S. attorney general. However, offenders serving life sentences or under a death sentence are excluded from this provision.

The bill outlines several conditions for the conditional release, including the requirement for an agreement with ICE for the offender's detention pending deportation, and stipulates that the unserved portion of the offender's term will be tolled upon release. It also mandates that victims of the offender be notified prior to release and establishes that any offender who illegally reenters the U.S. after release will not be eligible for future conditional releases. The provisions of this section will apply to offenders confined on or after July 1, 2026, and the bill declares an emergency, making it effective on that date.
