HUMAN PERSONHOOD ACT – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding human personhood.
Idaho's H 367, the "Human Personhood Act," defines a "human being" as beginning at conception and grants full personhood - including all rights and legal protections - to preborn children from that moment. The bill requires Idaho laws to recognize and protect the rights of preborn children at every developmental stage, stating the state's policy is to "cherish and protect the right to life" of all human beings. It explicitly prohibits laws undermining preborn children's personhood but clarifies it does not create legal liability against women for prenatal care decisions. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and applies to all state laws interpreting rights for preborn children.
