This bill amends several sections of the Idaho Code related to public health districts, specifically allowing counties to leave these districts. Under the new provisions, a county can exit a public health district by a majority vote of its board of county commissioners. Once a county has left, it will not be required to provide financial contributions or support to the district, nor will it receive any funds apportioned to the district. This change is reflected in the amendments to Sections 39-408, 39-424, and 39-424A of the Idaho Code.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the apportionment of contributions among counties within a public health district, stating that a county that has exited the district will not be apportioned any contributions. The amendments also include technical corrections to the existing language. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective immediately upon passage, with a specified full force date of July 1, 2025.
