They said that the state law, signed by Republican Governor Brad Little in March, illegally discriminates on the basis of gender identity and violates students' right to privacy. Idaho's bathroom bill allows students to sue schools for $5,000 if they encounter a transgender student in a bathroom the law forbids. That effectively puts a "bounty" on transgender students and encourages others to search them out, the lawsuit said. The new law says schools must provide a "reasonable accommodation" for transgender students unwilling or unable to use their assigned bathroom. Federal courts have been divided on school policies requiring transgender students to use the restroom corresponding to their birth sex, with the Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S.

District Court Judge B. Lynn Winmill of the District of Idaho agreed with a challenge led by Planned Parenthood that Republican Attorney General Raul Labrador's interpretation of the state's criminal abortion law was "chilling" to providers' First Amendment rights. Idaho's abortion ban calls for revoking the license of any healthcare professional who assists in performing an abortion. Labrador interpreted the word "assists" as prohibiting an Idaho medical provider from referring a woman across state lines for an abortion. But the judge found Labrador's interpretation went too far and enjoined him from prosecuting such cases until an underlying legal challenge to the abortion law is settled in court. "The Court finds that the Medical Providers have established that there is a genuine threat of prosecution.

Those states saw high net migration among those earning above $200,000, meaning more are moving in than out. Florida is one of just nine states without an income tax, and the weather and business opportunities have been major pulls for Americans. Idaho has seen a particularly accelerated rate of high-earners moving to cities such as Boise and Meridian. Texas had the second-highest total net migration with around 9,000, followed by North Carolina at over 5,400. California had a net migration loss of over 27,300 high-earners, while New York had a loss of nearly 20,000.

Power players like Apple's Tim Cook and Disney's Bob Iger have descended on Idaho's Sun Valley Lodge for the annual and ultra-exclusive Allen & Co. conference. Allen & Co.'s annual conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, often referred to as "summer camp for billionaires," is a who's who of the biggest players in media and tech. But just because we're not there doesn't mean we can't speculate on what the biggest topics of discussion might be. I talked to Alison Brower, our LA bureau chief, and Alistair Barr, Insider's global tech editor, about what some of the most powerful people are talking about behind closed doors.

The Idaho law allows students to sue schools for $5,000 if they encounter a transgender student in a bathroom the law forbids. It effectively puts a "bounty" on transgender students and encourages others to search them out, the lawsuit says. The motion alleges transgender students would be irreparably harmed by being subjected to "profound stigma" and put at higher risk of depression, anxiety and self-harm. "In fact, for years Idaho schools have implemented inclusive policies without harming anyone and only helping to make transgender youth feel safer and more welcome at school." The new law says schools must provide a "reasonable accommodation" for transgender students unwilling or unable to use their assigned bathroom.

Here is a snapshot of pending and passed legislation seeking to restrict or protect access in 2023. KANSAS: Although Kansans voted in favor of state abortion rights on a ballot measure last year, the Republican-led state Senate has passed a prohibition on prescribing abortion pills via telemedicine. The Republican-led state is currently enforcing a total abortion ban, with exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother. MONTANA: The Republican-led state Senate has passed a bill seeking to overturn a 1999 state Supreme Court ruling that found that the state constitution protected a right to abortion. SOUTH CAROLINA: Despite the fact that the state Supreme Court recently struck down a six-week abortion ban in a 3-2 vote, Republicans have introduced a near-total abortion ban and a six-week ban this year.

☆ Idaho bill would ban minors from travel for abortions without parental consent
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-31 | by ( Sharon Bernstein | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

The bill would also allow a man who impregnates a woman - including rapists - as well as other family members to sue abortion providers. Idaho already bans almost all abortions, but the state borders Washington, Oregon and Montana, which allow them. "There's no way this bill is constitutional," Gibron said, citing protections in the U.S. constitution for interstate travel. Adults who help girls obtain surgical or medication abortions without parental consent would face a minimum of two years in prison if convicted. The bill initially excluded cases where the pregnancy was the result of rape, but was later amended to remove that language.

☆ Idaho lawmakers are seriously considering absorbing Oregon's conservative rural counties if they can secede from the blue state

The Greater Idaho movement seeks to redraw state boundaries so rural Oregon can join Idaho. Moving the state boundary would require the approval of Oregon, Idaho, and the US Congress. Matt McCaw, a spokeperson for the group behind the Greater Idaho movement, told Insider they were confident the bill would pass Idaho's Senate in the coming weeks as well. McCaw said the Greater Idaho proposal would be a solution to the "longstanding problem" of the urban-rural divide. Proponents of Greater Idaho have said their plan is a way to avoid conflict, but it's unclear the impact moving the border would actually have.

☆ Idaho GOP lawmakers want to classify anyone who helps a minor cross state lines to get an abortion as a human trafficker and punish them with up to 5 years in prison
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-09 | by ( Lloyd Lee | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Under the bill, transporting a pregnant minor in or outside Idaho would be considered human trafficking. Idaho outlaws abortions with exceptions for rape, incest, or life-threatening circumstances. Proposed by Republican Rep. Barbara Ehardt of Idaho Falls, House Bill 98 expands the state's existing trafficking laws and would restrict alternative ways a pregnant minor might seek an abortion. Idaho shares borders with states that have no restrictions or allows abortions up to fetal viability, including Oregon, Montana, and Wyoming. However, no state so far has passed legislation that would ban abortions conducted outside of one's state residence.

An Idaho Republican said his experience milking dairy cows offered insights into reproductive healthcare. Idaho Rep.

According to the Statesman, Nelson said during his campaign that the government shouldn't be involved in abortion care, a sentiment he repeated in his apology. "I absolutely respect women and the right to choose their own health care," Nelson said in his statement, per the Statesman.

ST Idaho debated if it was possible to lose the NVA and continue their mission but ultimately deiced against it. ST Idaho adjusted its path and continued its slow progress, throwing grenades at any noise they heard, nightmares of previous close-calls on their minds. Thick black smoke choked and blinded ST Idaho, but the SOG operators could see enemy troops advancing close behind the flames.
