Operative words

Any person who willfully or negligently violates any of the provisions of the public health laws or the terms of any lawful notice, order, permit, standard, or rule issued pursuant thereto, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

Penalty

Misdemeanor; Idaho Code § 18-113: six months, $1,000, or both (Ex. DUT-ID-011)

What it required

Every person to comply with the public health laws and with every lawful notice, order, permit, standard or rule issued under them; a negligent violation suffices for the misdemeanor. This is the general criminal duty behind the Department's orders and IDAPA 16.02.10, and the section the Food Establishment Act adopts for misdemeanor proceedings (Ex. DUT-ID-015).

Retrieval note

Section 56-1010 makes it 'the duty of the attorney general to institute and prosecute civil enforcement actions or injunctive actions as provided in section 56-1009' and 'to prosecute actions or proceedings for the enforcement of any criminal provisions of this chapter' (read on the live site; not saved).
