Your kid's school may have been hiding gender confusion from you — and Idaho just made that illegal. Starting July 1st, schools, doctors, and childcare providers must notify parents within 72 hours or face up to $1,000 in fines. Families are back in control.

This week's report also covers: the Idaho Supreme Court hearing a $1.1M drag defamation appeal, another Boise school contractor arrested on child sex charges, record-low snowpack threatening Idaho farms, a TPUSA partnership bringing civic clubs to every Idaho high school, and Rep. Ted Hill's response to Boise's pride flag workaround.

Local Yocal Idaho brings you the Idaho news you need to know, every Wednesday.
