Bill Summary
RELATING TO ENERGY RESOURCES FUND; AMENDING SECTION 57-1306, IDAHO CODE, TO REVISE PROVISIONS REGARDING THE RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES FUND AND TO MAKE TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Idaho law to rename the "renewable energy resources fund" to simply the "energy resources fund" and expands the definition of "renewable energy resources" to include geothermal, wind, solar, and other sustainable energy sources, while also making technical corrections to how funds are distributed and managed. Specifically, it clarifies that 90% of moneys received from the sale, royalties, bonuses, or rental of renewable energy resources on federal lands, along with moneys from the federal power act for the use of federal lands and other appropriated funds, will be deposited into this newly named fund. The bill also includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect on July 1, 2026.
