The bill amends Section 43-320 of the Idaho Code, which governs the interests of officers in contracts awarded by irrigation district boards. The new language introduces an exception that allows directors or officers to be interested in contracts for the purpose of recharge, provided they do not receive any profits from such contracts. This change aims to clarify the conditions under which officers can engage in contracts without violating the law.

Additionally, the bill retains the penalties for officers found in violation of these provisions, which include being guilty of a misdemeanor, forfeiting their office, and facing fines or imprisonment. The effective date of the bill is set for July 1, 2025, due to an emergency declaration.
