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sections of Idaho Code were reviewed for repeal consideration by the DOGE Task Force on the criteria of obsolete, outdated, and unnecessary.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 repeals eight sections Chapter 26, Title 33, Idaho Code that pertain to the regional library systems as these systems have not existed for more than 40 years.
