This bill amends Section 31-4320 of the Idaho Code, which outlines the procedure for the dissolution of recreation districts. The key changes include the requirement for a petition for dissolution to be signed by at least twenty percent (20%) of the qualified electors residing within the district, replacing the previous wording of "per cent." Additionally, if the number of qualified electors has increased by more than two hundred percent (200%) since the district's creation, a majority of the board of directors can file a petition without needing signatures from the electors. The bill also modifies the timeline for county commissioners to determine compliance with the petition requirements, changing "forthwith" to "timely."

Furthermore, the bill clarifies the process following the election on dissolution, ensuring that the county commissioners will canvass the votes and declare the outcome based on whether a majority is in favor or against the dissolution. It also stipulates that upon dissolution, the title to all property of the district will vest in the county, which will then manage the sale and disposition of the property. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
