Summary

HB 603 threatens First Amendment rights to political expression by banning symbolic structures (e.g., tents) on certain state property, including the Idaho Capitol Mall.

HB 603 not only threatens protected speech but does so at a critical place of political expression; the Idaho statehouse is, after all, the people’s house.
