The bill amends Section 7-701 of the Idaho Code to update 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 market rate prices at the time of sale.

The bill also includes technical corrections to improve the language and structure of the existing law. It declares an emergency, allowing the act to take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that the updated provisions are implemented promptly.
