Bill > H0517

This bill repeals existing Idaho law, specifically Chapter 78 of Title 67 of the Idaho Code, which pertains to the Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER). The PNWER is an organization that brings together leaders from the U.S. states of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming, along with the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, to foster economic development and cooperation in the region. By repealing this chapter, the bill effectively dissolves Idaho's statutory framework for its participation in the PNWER. The bill also declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2026, meaning this repeal will take effect on that date.
