This bill amends Section 31-819 of the Idaho Code, which pertains to the powers and duties of boards of county commissioners regarding the publication of their proceedings. The revised language mandates that the board of county commissioners must publish a monthly statement detailing their acts and proceedings, including a brief financial summary of expenditures from each county fund. However, counties that maintain a publicly accessible website with meeting agendas and minutes are exempt from the monthly publication requirement. Additionally, the bill stipulates that an annual financial report must be prepared for public inspection, detailing income sources, expenditures, and current fund balances.

The bill also includes technical corrections to improve clarity and coherence in the existing law. It specifies that within thirty days of the annual audit, the board must publish a summary of the balance sheet and a summary of revenues and expenditures. The act declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
