The bill amends Section 42-1732 of the Idaho Code to establish term limits for members of the Idaho Water Resource Board, which consists of eight appointed members. The amendments specify that members will serve four-year terms with a limit of two terms. Additionally, the bill makes technical corrections to the language regarding the qualifications for board members, ensuring they are well-informed and actively engaged in the fields of reclamation, water use, or conservation.

The bill also includes a declaration of emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the governance of the Idaho Water Resource Board by implementing term limits and ensuring diverse representation from various geographic districts within the state.
