STATE GOVERNMENT – Amends and repeals existing law relating to the sale, transfer, or disposition of state administrative facilities.
This bill repeals a specific Idaho law that previously governed how state administrative facilities are sold or transferred, while updating related sections in the state code to remove references to the repealed law. The change affects the state Board of Land Commissioners and the Board of Examiners by altering how surplus state property is classified and disposed of. Under the new rules, the Board of Land Commissioners will handle surplus real property no longer needed by state agencies, while the Board of Examiners will manage the disposal of state administrative facilities and personal property. The legislation also includes a declaration of emergency to allow the changes to take effect immediately upon passage.
