Bill > H0033

This bill amends existing Idaho law in the following ways: 1. It provides for a review process where a person adversely affected by an action, decision, or order of a district board of health can request the county board of commissioners to review and potentially affirm or overturn the district board's decision. 2. It reclassifies first and second violations of public health laws as infractions, punishable by a fine, instead of misdemeanors. Third and subsequent violations would still be misdemeanors. 3. It limits orders of quarantine or isolation issued by the Director of the Department of Health and Welfare to a maximum of 30 days, unless an extension is approved by the affected county or city. Any existing orders over 30 days would become ineffective. 4. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
