"Idaho's H.B. 752 criminalizes the use of bathrooms and other sex-segregated spaces that do not align with the sex assigned at birth, extending to private businesses."
"Penalties under H.B. 752 are severe, with a first-time violation resulting in a misdemeanor and up to a year in jail, escalating to felonies for repeat offenses."
"A fourth violation of the law could lead to a third felony conviction, punishable by a mandatory minimum of five years and up to life in prison."
Idaho's Republican-controlled legislature has approved H.B. 752, a bathroom ban targeting transgender individuals, which could lead to life imprisonment for violations. The bill passed with a 28-7 Senate vote and, if signed by Governor Brad Little, will be the fourth such law in the U.S. Unlike similar laws in Florida, Kansas, and Utah, Idaho's law applies to private businesses and imposes harsh penalties. A first violation results in a misdemeanor, while repeated offenses can escalate to felonies with severe prison sentences, including a mandatory minimum of five years for a third felony conviction.
