Clean Indoor Air Act Amendments
Effective July 1, 2025, Idaho amends its Clean Indoor Air Act to add and revise definitions and to clarify requirements regarding sign posting. Under the amendments, tobacco products means any substance that contains tobacco, including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, snuff, smoking tobacco, tobacco paper or smokeless tobacco. It is presumed that a lighted cigarette, cigar or pipe contains tobacco.
In addition, "no smoking" signs must be appropriately sized, conspicuous, legible with letters at least one inch in height, unobscured and placed at a height and location easily seen and read by persons entering or within the posted area. Signs may contain information such as the international smoking and no smoking symbols and references to the Idaho Clean Indoor Act.

Previous Updates
Immunity to Employers Permitting Firearms on Premises
Effective July 1, 2024, Idaho extends civil immunity to employers that adopt a policy that allows or does not prohibit the lawful carrying of a firearm on an employee's person on the business premises.
Previously, Idaho law only established civil immunity for employers with policies that allow or do not prohibit the lawful storage of firearms by employees in their personal motor vehicles on the business premises.
Exceptions to Disqualifications from Unemployment Benefits
Effective July 1, 2023, an employee will not be disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits if they voluntarily left employment as a result of domestic violence, or if they are a military spouse who has relocated with their spouse because of a permanent change of station orders. Employees who leave voluntarily for either of these reasons must make reasonable efforts to maintain the employment relationship.
