STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31283 / S1299
This legislation repeals Idaho Code Section 44-2012, which the United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit,
held in 2015 was pre-empted by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) in Idaho Building and Construction
Trades Council, AFL-CIO v. Inland Pacific Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. The result is
the statutory language contains dead letters that are of no force or effect in Idaho law and should be removed
to avoid confusion for those who come across the statutory language and think it is valid.
FISCAL NOTE
Enactment of this legislation will have no impact on the General Fund other than the minimal costs involved
with making the requisite ministerial change to Idaho Code.
