ABATEMENT DISTRICTS – Amends and adds to existing law to revise provisions regarding abatement districts and to provide for optional participation.

This bill updates Idaho's laws governing abatement districts, which are areas where local boards manage mosquito and other pest control to protect public health. It gives these boards new authority to hire staff, enter private lands for treatment, and work with other organizations on ditch maintenance to reduce mosquito breeding. The bill also allows property owners to opt out of district treatments by submitting their own pest control plans, provided they meet specific requirements. Additionally, it clarifies rules for using aerial pesticide spraying, which can only occur during declared health emergencies, and establishes procedures for creating temporary abatement districts during pest emergencies.
