EDUCATION – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the requirement for safe public school facilities.

Idaho's H 405 requires all public school districts and charter schools to conduct annual independent inspections of school facilities for safety and health compliance, including specific testing for radon (in basements or radon-prone areas), mold (when moisture or visible signs exist), and lead (in pre-1978 buildings or with lead pipes). School boards must report violations to parents, staff, and state authorities, and fix unsafe conditions within a specified timeline, with fines up to $5,000 per violation for non-compliance. The bill directly affects Idaho's K-12 public schools and their governing boards by mandating these inspections, testing protocols, and reporting requirements. It updates existing safety standards to include modern health concerns like lead exposure and mold while establishing clear enforcement mechanisms.
