Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to provide for criminal trespass of a church and to provide a penalty.

In light of increasing animus and threats against religious worship around the country, this legislation recognizes a specific criminal trespass offense for entering or remaining on the premises of a church or house of worship while the individual's presence is clearly not permitted. To be convicted, an individual must also be proven to possess the specific intent to intimidate, harass, or disrupt a religious service or assemblage.
