This bill amends several sections of the Idaho Code related to self-service storage facilities, specifically focusing on definitions, enforcement of liens, and procedures for handling vehicles or trailers in default. Key changes include a revised definition of "last known address" to clarify that it refers to the address provided by the lessee in the rental agreement or any subsequent written notice of change. Additionally, the bill updates the language regarding the operator's obligations when enforcing a lien, specifying that the operator "shall" comply with certain provisions rather than "must," and it streamlines the process for notifying lessees and lienholders about defaults and potential sales of personal property.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the procedures for towing vehicles or trailers in default, requiring operators to notify lessees and lienholders before towing and clarifying the operator's liability once the towing company takes possession. It also emphasizes compliance with specific sections of the Idaho Code when conducting lien sales of vehicles. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025, to ensure timely implementation of these changes.
