AG can halt violations with court orders

Beginning July 1, 2026, the Attorney General can ask a court to declare that a law was broken and order it to stop. This applies when an Idaho law sets a duty or a ban but does not include a civil lawsuit to enforce it. The Attorney General can bring these cases against any person under Idaho law. Court orders can stop ongoing and future violations.
