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 specifies that if an operator chooses to proceed with a lien sale of a vehicle, they must comply with the provisions of section 45-805, Idaho Code, rather than chapter 17, title 49.

The bill also updates the enforcement procedures for liens, including the requirement for operators to send notice to lessees at their last known address and to provide detailed information about the lien and the sale of personal property. It establishes that the operator shall allow the lessee or any other person to pay the lien amount before the sale occurs, and it clarifies the operator's liability regarding vehicles or trailers once they are towed. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
