This bill aims to update and streamline the Idaho Code related to the Idaho Potato Commission by amending and repealing certain outdated provisions. Specifically, it amends Section 22-1204 to remove a provision that previously restricted the commission from promulgating rules regarding the definitions of "shipper," "grower," and "processor" for one year following the act's effective date. Additionally, the bill repeals Section 22-1211A, which pertains to the referendum for the continuance of an additional tax, and Section 22-1215, which relates to access to records.

The legislative intent behind this act is to ensure that Idaho's laws are current and relevant to the needs of its citizens, particularly in relation to public health, safety, and welfare. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect on July 1, 2026, thereby ensuring that the changes are implemented promptly to better serve the potato industry in Idaho.
