SENATE BILL 1374
RS31395C1 / S1374
This legislation concerns the right to carry a firearm on certain public property in the state of Idaho and is intended to clarify the legislature’s policy following the June 2023 decision of the Idaho Supreme Court in Herndon v. Sandpoint. The changes clarify policy regarding property owned by the state or its political subdivisions that is normally and habitually open to the public but is being leased, rented or provided by contract to groups that are holding private, invitation-only events or events that charge admission. In the cases where public property is normally open to the public and concealed weapons would normally be allowed, the only restrictions that may be invoked on that property are when a private group has contracted to use the property for an event that is private and by invitation only, or where a commercial event occurs and there is a price charged for admission.
There is not expected to be an impact on state or local funding since the legislation clarifies what is the policy that is currently being exercised throughout the state.
