The bill creates a process to require certain resource interests — including agricultural land, water rights, mining claims and mineral rights — held by persons or entities identified as \"foreign adversaries\" to be sold within 180 days after notice; if the asset is not sold, the statute authorizes judicial foreclosure.

Sponsor Senator Kaiser described the measure as a security step modeled on legislation adopted in other states to prevent hostile foreign governments or their proxies from acquiring land and critical resources near military bases and other sensitive sites. Kaiser said the bill uses the federal Code of Federal Regulations definition to identify \"foreign adversaries,\" removes a fixed list of countries from the statute and instead references the federal standard so the definition reflects current national security designations. The sponsor said the process is self‑reporting by foreign entities and allows judicial foreclosure only after notice and an opportunity to sell.

Senator Hartog asked procedural questions about an engrossed bill; Senator Hart objected to the 180‑day sale period and said eminent domain would better protect property rights and assure fair compensation. Supporters said the judicial sale process returns property to lienholders rather than leaving hostile actors in control of key resources. Several senators said the bill targets narrow national‑security risks and explicitly excludes allies and entities with federal Committee on Foreign Investment agreements.

After debate, the Senate adopted the bill 30–2. The bill will return to the House for final handling. Supporters characterized the bill as a targeted national‑security safeguard; opponents, including some who voted in favor, warned the measure raises property‑rights and due‑process considerations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Legislative Session Day 88 April 3, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Senate passed House Bill 3-56 as amended, which requires certain land, water rights, mining claims or mineral interests owned by entities the law defines as \"foreign adversaries\" to be sold within 180 days or subject to judicial foreclosure.

The bill amends Idaho law to broaden the scope of prior coronavirus‑specific prohibitions and to define and prohibit certain ‘‘medical intervention’’ mandates by public entities, many business types and educational institutions.

Sponsor Senator Foreman framed the measure as an expansion and renaming of the existing Coronavirus Stop Act, saying the new language replaces disease‑specific references with a general definition of “medical intervention” that covers procedures, devices, drugs and other actions to diagnose, prevent, or cure disease. Foreman said the bill does not change Idaho’s school‑vaccination law (Idaho Code 39‑48‑02) but reiterated that parents and students of majority age retain established opt‑out rights under current code. “This legislation states that unless required by federal law, no state, county, or local government entity or business entity in Idaho shall require any person to receive or use a medical intervention,” Foreman said.

Opponents raised constitutional and practical questions. Senator Rekke warned that future pandemics and public‑health threats could differ in transmission and severity and argued that the state should not tie its hands before knowing future facts. Several senators said the bill goes too far into the private sector by restricting employer choice. Supporters said the bill advances individual liberty and would prevent mandates tied to employment, attendance, or government benefits unless federal law requires them.

During debate senators also discussed carve‑outs and clarifications added in committee and by amendment; some senators said amendments responded to concerns raised during the governor’s review of an earlier vetoed version. The Senate ultimately passed SB 12-10, 22–13; the measure will be forwarded to the House for its next steps.

The measure cleared the chamber on a 25–9 roll‑call vote and will be transmitted to the House of Representatives.

Senator Nichols, the bill's sponsor, opened debate by describing SB 12-11 as “a straightforward and responsible measure to allow over‑the‑counter access to ivermectin,” saying the drug has a long safety record and is already available without prescription in many other countries. Nichols told colleagues the bill would limit sales to products “manufactured and labeled for humans” and would not require pharmacies to stock the drug. “This bill is not to burden pharmacies in any way,” he said.

Opponents warned the change could expose people to risk without medical supervision. Senator Reid urged colleagues to vote no, saying pharmacists and doctors have expressed concern and pointing to Food and Drug Administration guidance that has not authorized ivermectin for COVID‑19 treatment. Reid said past misuse during the pandemic led to serious adverse events and that unrestricted access could lead to overdoses or harmful interactions with other drugs.

Other senators spoke for and against the bill during the floor debate. Supporters argued that restricting human‑labeled ivermectin pushed some consumers to veterinary or online sources and that legal, pharmacy‑sourced access would reduce unsafe use. Opponents said the FDA has not approved ivermectin for many proposed uses, that dosing and interactions matter, and that pharmacists and prescribers provide valuable safety checks.

After floor debate closed, the secretary called the roll. The tally was: 25 ayes, 9 nays, 1 absent/excused. The Senate journal shows the measure passed and will be transmitted to the House for consideration.
