Permitless carry, other laws to take effect

Idahoans can carry a concealed gun without needing licenses or training starting Friday, just in time for Independence Day. The change is just one of the new laws going into effect on July 1, which is the start of Idaho's new financial calendar. This means the state will implement a new budget and plenty of new policy laws. Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter signed into law nearly 370 pieces of legislation this year, while lawmakers amended more than 600 sections of Idaho code. So before you fire up a grill for a July Fourth cookout, consider this roundup of recent legislation from lawmakers in Boise/Kimberlee Kruesi, Associated Press. More here.

Question: Which law do you mostleast want to see take effect?
