STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31250 / S1338
When an irrigation district is formed, Idaho law provides that the Board of County Commissioners establish the
divisions from which board members are elected. Generally, board members live in the division they represent.
In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult for irrigation districts to find qualified individuals to serve
on their boards. In some instances, it may be necessary to amend irrigation district divisions. Idaho Law does
not include any process for such an amendment. This legislation amends Idaho Code to allow the Board of
County Commissioners to amend the division boundaries of an irrigation district.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation will have no impact on the state’s General fund or any dedicated fund or federal fund, because
it does not affect the operations or activities of any state agency.
