Bill > H0392

This bill amends existing Idaho law to revise the powers and duties of the district board of health. The key provisions are: 1. The district board of health can now do "necessary and reasonable" things, rather than "all" things, required for the preservation and protection of public health. 2. The board can enter into agreements with the state Department of Health and Welfare or Department of Environmental Quality to provide services or other actions specified in the agreement. 3. The board can deposit all monies received into the public health district fund, establish a fiscal control policy, and cooperate with various state agencies. 4. The board can purchase, exchange, or sell real property, construct or lease buildings, and accept donations to fulfill the district's duties. 5. The board can establish charges to render services to non-governmental entities, and enter into lease agreements with the Idaho Health Facilities Authority. 6. The bill declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2024.
