Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we are joined by IEL attorney and Idaho State Representative Megan Egbert to discuss proposed legislation from the 2026 session that could impact employers across the state. We cover bills involving public accommodation liability, independent contractor benefits, e-Verify requirements, nondiscrimination ordinances, and other trends Megan is seeing this year.
Although these bills are not final yet, the direction of the legislation raises important compliance questions—especially for small and mid-size employers. Staying informed now can help employers avoid surprises later.
