Kelly Anthon — The discussion focused on Senate Bill 1299’s approach to digital ID and government mandates. Kelly Anthon and Senator Nichols explained that the bill is proactive and does not ban digital ID, but prevents government entities from mandating it; digital ID could still exist and be used voluntarily. They noted that other states are moving toward digital identification, but Idaho is not currently implementing it that way. The conversation then shifted to enforcement provisions, with Anthon explaining that civil penalties were included to ensure compliance, along with notice and an opportunity to cure before damages apply. After the penalty amount was stated, Senator Barr suggested removing the civil penalty and sending the bill to the 14th order, and Anthon agreed. The discussion also covered whether cities and counties could create or mandate digital credential systems, with the conclusion that the bill would set parameters and would prevent local governments from mandating digital ID if enacted, though future legislative action would be needed if the state ever wanted to move to an exclusively digital ID system.
