RECORDS EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE – Amends existing law to provide that certain decedent photos shall be exempt from disclosure and to provide an exception.
Signed by Governor on 03/26/26 Session Law Chapter 148 Effective: 07/01/2026
Summary
The bill adds a new exemption to Idaho's public records law that keeps photographs taken of deceased individuals during coroner or law‑enforcement investigations private. Those images can only be released to the decedent’s closest living relative once all related criminal, civil and investigative proceedings are fully resolved. This change aims to protect family privacy while still allowing access when the case is closed.
