This bill amends Section 31-819 of the Idaho Code, which pertains to the publication of proceedings by boards of county commissioners. The revised provisions require the board to publish a monthly statement detailing all acts and proceedings, including a brief financial summary of expenditures from each county fund. However, counties that maintain a publicly accessible website with agendas and minutes of meetings are exempt from the monthly publication requirement. Instead, they must provide a financial summary that includes a link to the website for accessing additional information.

Additionally, the bill mandates that an annual financial report be prepared for public inspection, detailing sources of income, expenditures, and current fund balances. Following the annual audit, a summary of the balance sheet and statement of revenues and expenditures must be published within thirty days. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
