STATE EMPLOYEES – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding state employee loyalty.
H 319 prohibits Idaho state employees from assisting any person or entity in legal claims against the state, including acting as consultants, attorneys, or experts in such matters. It defines "assist" broadly to cover litigation, administrative hearings, and dispute resolution, while excluding work performed within normal job duties. Violations carry civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation or the compensation received, plus termination from state employment. The law applies to all classified and nonclassified state employees under Idaho Code.
