This bill aims to streamline and update Idaho's legal code by repealing several outdated and unnecessary provisions related to floating timber and town site claims. Specifically, it repeals Sections 38-802 through 38-807, which pertain to floating timber, as well as Section 38-1210 regarding log scaling, and the entirety of Chapter 8, Title 58, which addresses town site claims. The legislative intent is to ensure that the laws serve the public health, safety, and welfare effectively.

Additionally, the bill amends the heading for Chapter 8, Title 38, Idaho Code, by removing the term "FLOATING" from the title. The bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2026, to facilitate the immediate implementation of these changes.
