Bill > H0721

This bill amends existing Idaho law to revise provisions regarding public school building plan reviews, aiming to improve efficiency and clarity. Key changes include establishing a thirty-day deadline for initial plan reviews for public works projects, which includes public school buildings, and ensuring that plan review fees charged by local governments do not exceed those set by the state for similar services. The bill also clarifies that plan examiners must hold specific certifications from recognized organizations like the International Code Council and the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, depending on the type of review. Additionally, it updates a code reference within the Idaho Uniform School Building Safety Act to reflect these changes and declares an emergency, making the act effective on July 1, 2026.
