Idaho Moves to Ban Gambling in New Laws
The Idaho Fourth Session enacted measures with many bills signed by the governor. House bill 165 prohibits gambling, detailing offenses and penalties, while other signed laws cover the medical bill, revenue amendments, school district organization, tax exemptions for farmers' ditches, road overseer elections, insolvency proceedings, and city Boise charter changes. The gambling prohibition includes penalties of fines up to 200 dollars and up to four months imprisonment, plus duties for officers to seize gambling devices and prosecute offenders. The full text of House bill No. 165 outlines prohibitions on games of chance, witness requirements, and prosecutorial duties under the act.
