RIOTS – Amends existing law to provide a penalty for a riot that results in physical injury to a person.

This Idaho bill (H 125) amends the state's riot law to add a specific felony penalty for riots causing physical injury to a person. It makes such riots punishable by up to five years in prison or a $10,000 fine, in addition to existing felony classifications for riots at prisons/hostages or property damage exceeding $500. The bill directly affects individuals participating in riots that result in bodily harm to others. It does not change misdemeanor penalties for other riot circumstances or alter the law's application to property damage or facility-related incidents. The amendment is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
