HCR 5 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

DR. ANTHONY FAUCI – States findings of the Legislature and opines that a federal pardon issued by a president does not confer immunity from prosecution or responsibility for state crimes.

HCR 5 is a non-binding Idaho legislative resolution stating that a federal pardon, like the one reportedly issued to Dr. Anthony Fauci in 2025, does not prevent state-level prosecution for crimes under Idaho law. It clarifies that state legal proceedings would continue unaffected by federal pardons, emphasizing that such pardons do not override state jurisdiction. The resolution expresses this legal principle without creating new laws or impacting any existing cases.
