This bill aims to streamline and update Idaho's education laws by repealing several sections of the Idaho Code that are deemed obsolete or unnecessary. Specifically, it repeals provisions related to public school financial requirements, pay-for-success contracting, high-performing schools and teachers, school building design, STEM and biliteracy diplomas, workforce readiness diplomas, and various financial and operational regulations concerning school funding and management. The bill also amends existing sections to remove outdated language, ensuring that the laws remain relevant and effective for the citizens of Idaho.

Additionally, the bill includes a significant amendment to Section 33-1002, which outlines the educational support program. It removes the reference to pay-for-success contracting, thereby eliminating that funding mechanism from the calculations for state educational support funds. The bill emphasizes the legislative intent to maintain laws that serve the public health, safety, and welfare while ensuring that the educational framework in Idaho is efficient and up-to-date. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective immediately upon its passage.
