This bill amends several sections of the Idaho Code, primarily to remove obsolete provisions and make technical corrections. Specifically, Section 67-7201 establishes the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs, detailing the composition and appointment process for its members. The bill removes the initial term specifications for the five public members appointed by the governor, allowing all subsequent terms to be three years.
Additionally, Section 63-2552A revises the provisions regarding additional taxes imposed on tobacco products, specifying that 50% of the collected tax will be appropriated for public school safety improvements and substance abuse prevention programs, while eliminating the previous allocation to the Commission on Hispanic Affairs for similar efforts. Section 63-3029A modifies the income tax credit for charitable contributions by removing references to the Commission on Hispanic Affairs. The bill declares an emergency, with different effective dates for the various sections, starting from July 1, 2026, for Section 1 and July 1, 2028, for Sections 2 and 3.
