Idaho bill would restrict law enforcement facial coverings
Ward-Engelking
BOISE — The Senate State Affairs committee voted Friday to introduce a bill that would place restrictions on when law enforcement in the state can use facial coverings. The committee's vote allows the bill to return for a public hearing at a later date.
Sen. Janie Ward-Engelking, D-Boise, who authored the bill, said it was similar to legislation pending in Utah and neighboring states that seeks to restrict the use of facial coverings by law enforcement. While Utah’s bill specifically names Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as its primary subject, Ward-Engelking’s bill does not identify a specific law enforcement agency.
