S 1244 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

REGIONAL LIBRARY SYSTEMS – Repeals existing law to remove obsolete provisions.

This bill repeals eight outdated Idaho Code sections (33-2612 through 33-2619) that governed regional library systems' purpose, boundaries, definitions, board structures, and finances. It removes obsolete provisions related to regional library operations, as part of the Legislature's code cleanup effort to streamline state laws. The repeal has no new policy impact - it only eliminates outdated legal language that no longer applies. The bill becomes effective July 1, 2026, after being introduced in January 2026.
