Summary
The bill changes Idaho law so that property owners who allow their land to be used as a polling place are not responsible for keeping it safe or warning of hazards, unless another legal theory applies. It also clarifies that using a tax‑exempt property for voting does not jeopardize that exemption. The measure is intended to encourage more sites for voting without exposing owners to new lawsuits.
