POTATO COMMISSION -- Amends and repeals existing law to remove outdated provisions.

POTATO COMMISSION

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

To ensure that state laws are streamlined, up-to-date, and essential for the citizens of Idaho, while best serving the public health, safety, and welfare, the Legislature approved the Idaho Code Cleanup Act, H14 in the 2025 legislative session. Submitted sections of Idaho Code were reviewed for repeal consideration by the DOGE Task Force on the criteria of obsolete, outdated, and unnecessary. This bill impacts three sections of Idaho Code: 1) Updates Section 22-1204, pertaining to rules, by removing a prohibition on promulgating certain rules for a period of 1 year, which ended in 2020; 2) Repeals Section 22-1211A, relating to the referendum of whether the additional $0.01 tax on potatoes should be continued. This referendum was conducted 53 years ago; and 3) Repeals Section 22-1215, a duplicative section of code as the commission is subject to the public records laws provided in Section 74-101(16), Idaho Code.
