Reject Idaho's Bathroom Criminalization Law

A federal judge found Idaho's bathroom criminalization law unconstitutionally vague before it ever took effect, meaning six transgender Idahoans had to sue just to keep their daily lives intact.

The Letter

Subject This bathroom law puts Idaho families and taxpayers at risk — please oppose it

Idaho families deserve to live without fear of criminal prosecution for using a public restroom. That's not a radical idea — it's basic dignity. But the law the Idaho Legislature passed would have made it a felony for a transgender person to use the wrong bathroom more than once. Six of our neighbors — real Idahoans — had to go to federal court just to stop it from taking effect. A federal judge blocked the law last month, ruling it was unconstitutionally vague. That's not a win for Idaho. That's an embarrassment, and a warning.

When our state passes laws that can't survive a basic constitutional review, taxpayers foot the bill for the litigation. Businesses and doctors and young people look at Idaho and decide to go somewhere else. And transgender Idahoans — our coworkers, our kids' classmates, our neighbors — spend every day wondering if they're safe. This law didn't make any Idahoan safer. It targeted a small group of people for existing in public. The court saw that clearly, and so should you.

I'm asking you to publicly oppose any effort to revive, amend, or re-introduce this bathroom criminalization legislation in the next session. Idaho should not be spending more taxpayer money defending unconstitutional laws that hurt our neighbors and embarrass our state.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent from [CITY]. I'm calling because a federal judge just blocked Idaho's bathroom criminalization law for being unconstitutionally vague — and I want the representative to know that Idahoans are watching what happens next.
This law would have made it a felony for transgender Idahoans to use a public restroom more than once. That's not protecting anyone — that's targeting our neighbors, and it cost taxpayers money in court.
When Idaho passes laws that get immediately blocked in court, it sends a message to businesses and families thinking about coming here. We should be making Idaho a place people want to stay, not leave.
I'm asking the representative to publicly oppose bringing this law back in any form next session. This matters to me, and I vote.
