H 187 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

PROBATION AND PAROLE – Amends and adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding advisement to certain probationers and parolees regarding conditions of probation or parole.

H 187 requires Idaho courts to inform felony probationers at sentencing and parole commissions to inform parolees that they are waiving their constitutional right to protection from warrantless searches (including searches of phones or property at any time, day or night). Individuals must agree in writing to these terms to be placed on probation or parole; without written agreement, they are ineligible for either. The bill prohibits probation and parole officers from conducting searches solely for harassment. It takes effect on July 1, 2025.
