▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation modifies Section 39-414, Idaho Code, to limit the powers and duties of the district boards of health. It narrows their scope to administer and enforce only necessary and reasonable health laws and regulations, eliminating the broader mandate to do "all things" for the preservation and protection of public health. This change reinforces the focused use of authority and resources to ensure the boards operate within a specified framework.
