COUNTY FAIR BOARDS – Repeals and adds to existing law to provide for county fair boards.
H 106 changes how county fair boards operate in Idaho. It repeals the current rule making fair boards advisory to county commissioners and replaces it with new provisions. Fair boards can now choose to stay advisory or petition to become a separate board operating under this law. To make this change, a majority of board members must petition, the county commission must hold a public hearing, and both the commission (majority vote) and board members (75% vote) must approve. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, directly affecting county fair boards and county commissioners.
