Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding notice.

This bill amends section 42-2401 to provide consistency in the notice requirements for canal companies. Subsection 42-2401(6) currently requires that notice of changes to a canal company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws be published in the newspaper once a week for 4-weeks prior to the meeting at which the proposed changes will be considered. Subsection 42-2401(10), on the other hand, requires that notice of the meeting be published in the newspaper “for 2-weeks” prior to the meeting. Canal companies have historically issued notice of any changes to their articles of incorporation or bylaws with the meeting notices - i.e. “for 2 weeks” prior to the meeting. This amendment would align the notice required for changes to articles of incorporation and bylaws with the notice requirement for meetings.
