See Jaron Crane explain this bill here:
This legislation prohibits the illegal entry into, or illegal presence in this state, by a person who is an alien,
the enforcement of those prohibitions, and certain related orders. Law Enforcement Officers may enforce this
section only when a person is detained or investigated for suspected commission of an independent crime and
hereby authorizes under certain circumstances the removal of persons who violate those prohibitions; creating

This passed the House, went to the Senate State Affairs Committee, and never passed out of that committee. Instead it was sent to the 14th Order for Amendment. This is where it can die, or be amended. The Committee has amended, or changed, part of the bill. Now the amended version of the bill will go to the Senate floor for a vote. If passed, the amended bill will go back to the House for approval.
Another way to see this amended version of a bill is by looking at this link: https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2025/legislation/minidata/ which shows the bills by number. H0083 is now H0083a....the "a" meaning it has been amended.
