AI Summary
This bill amends existing Idaho law concerning water districts by allowing water users, through a resolution passed at their annual meeting, to authorize the water district to charge a fixed fee to title companies. This fee is specifically intended to cover the administrative costs incurred by the water district when collaborating with title companies during property ownership transfers, such as notifying them of outstanding balances or confirming payment receipts. The bill also makes minor adjustments to language regarding water district budgets and the adoption of expenses for the succeeding year, and declares an emergency, making the changes effective on July 1, 2026.
