This bill amends Section 7-701 of the Idaho Code to revise the provisions related to the authorized uses for eminent domain. Notably, it changes the term "Pipe lines" to "Pipelines" for consistency and clarity. Additionally, it introduces a new requirement that at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the electricity generated from electric distribution and transmission lines must remain for sale within the state of Idaho at the market rate prices in effect at the time of sale.

The bill also includes technical corrections to ensure the language aligns with current legal standards. An emergency clause is included, declaring that the act will take effect on July 1, 2025, allowing for immediate implementation of the changes once the effective date arrives.
