This bill amends Idaho Code 7-1509 by updating the dollar value limit for cases which fall under the small lawsuit criteria and have been evaluated to be less than $35,000. This is a follow-up bill to the change that ocurred in 2018 that raised the limit of the SLRA from $25,000 to $35,000 which reflected the change in the value of the dollar over time. This statute provides a fair, efficient, and inexpensive system to settle small dollar amount cases, thereby reducing the number of civil cases which would otherwise end up in court.
