BOISE, Idaho (KIFI) — A new legislative push in the Idaho Statehouse could strip 13 cities of their ability to enforce local anti-discrimination ordinances that protect residents based on sexual orientation and gender identity. House Bill 557, introduced earlier this week, seeks to establish the "Uniformity in Local Antidiscrimination Ordinances Act." Ending the "Tangled Web" of Local LawsIdaho State Rep. Bruce SkaugIf passed, the legislation would make local ordinances that currently offer protections for LGBTQ+ individuals that do not exist at the state level unenforceable. But local antidiscrimination ordinances are frequently weaponized against small business owners—especially wedding vendors or those offering creative design services," stated Conzatti. "We call on the Idaho Legislature to rein in these rogue local governments by ensuring that these local antidiscrimination ordinances align with state law."
