AI Summary
This bill amends existing Idaho law to revise the powers and duties of public library boards of trustees concerning the hiring and termination of library directors. Specifically, it changes the process so that library boards must now obtain the approval of a majority of the city council members to hire or terminate a library director, whereas previously the board had more direct authority over these decisions. The bill also makes technical corrections to the relevant sections of Idaho Code and declares an emergency, setting an effective date of July 1, 2026.
