AI Summary
This bill amends existing Idaho law to provide that the laying out of new highways shall be for the primary benefit of motorists, and to revise provisions regarding the authority of county commissioners with respect to highways. Specifically, the bill allows commissioners to only expand the existing width, increase the number of travel lanes, or straighten the lines of any highway under their jurisdiction, rather than changing the width or location as previously allowed. The bill also declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2024.
