Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Idaho to reduce the bonding requirement for counties, cities, boards of education, school districts, and other subdivisions of the state from two-thirds to sixty percent of the qualified electors voting at an election.
This amendment to Section 3, Article VIII, of the Constitution of the State of Idaho, is to reduce the bonding requirement for counties, cities, boards of education, school districts, and other subdivisions of the state from two-thirds to sixty percent of qualified electors. Difficulty passing important bonds has limited the ability of local elected leaders from effectively serving their communities. A two-thirds requirement can give a small minority the ability to effectively block progress.
