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 revision of the 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 a 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 when proceeding with a lien sale of a vehicle, rather than "must."

Furthermore, the bill outlines the process for notifying lessees in default, including the requirement for operators to send notice by certified mail and to provide specific information about the lien and potential sale of personal property. It also establishes that the operator has no liability once a towing company takes possession of a vehicle or trailer. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025, and includes various technical corrections to ensure clarity and consistency in the law.
