Idaho S1370 amends abortion trafficking laws to clarify definitions and penalties.

Idaho S1370 amends existing law to revise the definition and penalties for abortion trafficking. It specifies that an adult who procures or obtains an abortion-inducing drug for a pregnant minor with intent to conceal it from the minor's parents or guardian commits the crime of abortion trafficking. The bill also clarifies that the attorney general has the authority to prosecute such cases if the local prosecuting attorney declines. The revised law includes a two- to five-year prison sentence for those convicted of abortion trafficking. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
