The Idaho Legislature is in session, and several bills this year directly impact the issues most important to Christians — life, family, parental rights, and religious liberty. Here is what you need to know.
Key Issues This Session
Idaho’s 2026 legislative session has brought forward bills addressing some of the most pressing concerns for people of faith:
Parental Rights in Education
Multiple bills are addressing parents’ rights to know what their children are being taught and to opt out of content that conflicts with their family’s values. This includes transparency in school library materials and curriculum.
Religious Freedom Protections
Legislation has been introduced to strengthen religious liberty protections for individuals, businesses, and religious organizations in Idaho. These bills aim to ensure that people of faith are not compelled to act against their sincerely held beliefs.
Protection of Life
Idaho continues to lead on pro-life legislation. Bills this session focus on strengthening protections for the unborn and ensuring that born-alive infants receive proper medical care.
