STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30865 / H0392
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.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no estimated fiscal impact to the General Fund because the changes apply only to verbiage.
