Idaho Statesman: Gov. Butch Otter assembled a large group of backers as he signed the school threats bill into law Friday.
“It is signed, and it is now law, because it has an emergency clause,” he said to loud applause.
The bill, HB 665, expands Idaho’s current law regarding school threats to include threats of violence made from off-site, including by phone or social media. Threats would be misdemeanors, but having a gun or other deadly weapon in furtherance of the threat would be a felony.
