Bill > H0386

This bill makes technical amendments to the legal descriptions of Latah County and Shoshone County boundaries in Idaho's state code. For Latah County, the bill adds language specifying that a specific point is the "southwest corner of Shoshone county with Latah county to west and south". For Shoshone County, the bill removes language referring to "Clearwater county to the" when describing the county's southern boundary. These changes appear to be minor clarifications of the precise boundary lines between these adjacent counties. The bill includes an emergency clause making the changes effective on July 1, 2025, which suggests the amendments are intended to address some immediate technical need in defining the county boundaries. The county seats remain unchanged, with Moscow being the seat for Latah County and Wallace being the seat for Shoshone County. The detailed description includes precise geographic references using township, range, and section numbers, which is typical of legal boundary descriptions in the western United States.
