  Idaho Senate Bill 1227 (Chapter 71, signed March 19, 2026) adds a new Chapter 70 to Title 33, Idaho Code, titled "Generative Artificial Intelligence in Education." Section 33-7003 directs the State Department of Education to develop a statewide generative artificial intelligence in education framework for K-12 public schools, subject to State Board of Education approval; the framework must prioritize human-centered oversight, transparency, safety, and data security, provide guidance on instructional integration, academic integrity, digital citizenship, and responsible student use, and address accessibility and access to generative AI tools. Section 33-7004 requires every local school district and public charter school to adopt a policy governing the use of generative artificial intelligence by students and employees in school buildings, on school grounds, during school activities, and on school-issued devices; each policy must align with the statewide framework, define appropriate and prohibited uses, include safeguards for student privacy, data security, accessibility, and academic integrity, and comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the Children's Internet Protection Act, and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Section 33-7005 requires the Department to develop generative AI literacy standards for K-12 students, assessment guidelines, and an educator professional development plan. Section 33-7006 requires a guidance document for parents and legal guardians. Section 33-7007 requires that generative AI software procured by districts and charter schools comply with state and federal data privacy law, requires vendors to disclose whether their products use machine learning, predictive analytics, or generative artificial intelligence, and requires vendor assurances on data protection, algorithmic transparency, and responsible use; the Department may publish a list of approved tools. Section 33-7008 grants the State Board rulemaking authority. The act carries an emergency clause and takes effect July 1, 2026.
