S 1250 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

RECORDS EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE – Amends existing law to provide that certain decedent photos shall be exempt from disclosure and to provide an exception.

This bill (S 1250) amends Idaho's public records law to exempt certain photos of deceased individuals from public disclosure. It directly affects the public and entities seeking access to these specific images under Idaho's disclosure laws. The key provision adds a new exemption to Section 74-105, Idaho Code, making decedent photos confidential unless an exception applies (though the exception details are not specified in the provided text). The bill does not create new programs or funding but modifies existing disclosure rules for a specific category of records.
