Amends existing law to revise the powers and duties of the district board of health.
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, including preventative health measures. This change reinforces the focused use of authority and resources to ensure the boards operate within a specified framework.
Adds to existing law to provide for the immunity of volunteer ski and bike patrollers in certain instances.
This bill adds a new section to Title 5, Chapter 3 of the Idaho Code relating to limited immunity from liability for acts or omissions of volunteer ski and bike patrols at Idaho’s mountain recreation areas. The patrollers must possess qualifications meeting the standards of the National Ski Patrol. Idaho’s Good Samaritan statute is inadequate to sufficiently protect volunteer patrollers from exposure to liability for various aid they provide to the visitors to the areas they serve. This bill will advance the public policy of encouraging these volunteers, and those thinking of volunteering, to provide immediate assistance in times of great need.
