H 365 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

ATTORNEY GENERAL – Adds to existing law to provide the Attorney General with concurrent investigative and prosecutorial power of violations of certain election laws.

Idaho's H 365 grants the state Attorney General concurrent authority to investigate and prosecute violations of specific election laws. The bill adds Section 67-1417 to Idaho Code, allowing the Attorney General to handle both criminal and civil cases under Title 18 (crimes) and Title 34 (elections) laws. This directly affects election law violators and expands the Attorney General's role in election enforcement. The law aims to strengthen election security by creating a single point of authority for these cases, effective July 1, 2025. It does not change existing election laws but clarifies enforcement mechanisms.
