"H.B. 752 applies to all restrooms, including those maintained by private businesses, rather than just those in government buildings. The law makes Idaho the fourth state to criminalize trans people who use the restroom that corresponds with their gender."
"Penalties under H.B. 752 are notably severe. A first-time violation would result in a misdemeanor charge and up to a year in jail, while a second violation within five years would be a felony punishable by up to five years in prison."
"A fourth violation of the law would constitute a third felony conviction, punishable under Idaho's persistent violator statute by a mandatory minimum of five years and up to life in prison."
"Both the Idaho Sheriffs' Association and the Idaho Fraternal Order of Police opposed H.B. 752, indicating significant concern from law enforcement regarding the implications of the legislation."
Idaho Governor Brad Little signed H.B. 752, making it a criminal offense for trans individuals to use restrooms corresponding to their gender, with penalties up to life in prison. The law applies to all restrooms, including private businesses, making Idaho the fourth state to enact such legislation. A first violation results in a misdemeanor, while subsequent violations escalate to felony charges. The law also allows prior convictions from other states to affect penalties in Idaho. Both the Idaho Sheriffs' Association and the Idaho Fraternal Order of Police opposed the bill.
