The bill amends Section 50-3101 of the Idaho Code, which pertains to the formation and purpose of community infrastructure districts. The primary objectives of this chapter include promoting the funding and construction of regional infrastructure ahead of developmental growth, facilitating advance payments of development impact fees, and creating financial mechanisms for new growth to self-fund. The bill clarifies that community infrastructure districts can only be formed by a city within its incorporated area, or by a county outside of a city's comprehensive plan, with the city's consent. Additionally, it emphasizes that the formation of a district does not impede the powers of local governments or the applicability of local land use regulations.

The bill also introduces technical corrections and specifies that the chapter may be cited as the "Community Infrastructure District Act." An emergency clause is included, stating that the act will take effect on July 1, 2026. The revisions aim to streamline the process for establishing community infrastructure districts while ensuring compliance with local planning and zoning ordinances.
