SPECIAL PROCEEDINGS – Adds to existing law to provide for an action to enforce state law.

H 743 creates a new legal process allowing Idaho's Attorney General to sue public officials, employees, and government entities (like cities, counties, schools, or state agencies) when they fail to follow state law without an existing enforcement mechanism. If the Attorney General wins, courts can order compliance, impose civil penalties up to $50,000 for willful violations, and require the defendant to pay attorney fees. The bill also permits withholding state funds or revenue-sharing payments from affected entities until a case is resolved, with withheld money going to the state general fund or tax relief fund if the entity is found noncompliant. This establishes a direct legal tool for enforcing state law against public entities through court action.
