▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation updates Section 39-414, Idaho Code, to ensure district health boards focus only on necessary and reasonable health laws and regulations. It removes their broad authority to take sweeping actions for public health, including preventative measures. This change keeps their duties clear and limits overreach, ensuring resources are used responsibly and decisions stay with a well-defined scope.

▶ Show fiscal note

This legislation does not create, eliminate, or alter any sources of revenue or expenditure and therefore has no anticipated fiscal impact.
