Summary
The Property Rights Protection Act adds a new chapter to Idaho’s criminal code that requires state, local and federal agents to have a valid search warrant, the landowner’s consent, or an exigent circumstance before entering private property that is not open to the public. It creates a $1,000 civil penalty for agents who knowingly violate the rule and allows landowners to sue for damages and attorney’s fees. The law also sets limited exceptions for public‑vantage observations, emergency situations, water‑rights work and similar activities.
