TRANSPORTATION – Amends existing law to provide for the appointment of certain single county-wide highway district commissioners.

H 326 amends Idaho law for highway districts in counties with over 200,000 residents, adding two appointed commissioners to the existing five elected positions. One commissioner is appointed by the governor (serving until 2028, then four-year terms) and one by county commissioners (serving until 2026, then four-year terms), with both having equal powers to elected commissioners but not representing specific subdistricts. The bill also updates vacancy procedures, requiring appointments within 30 days for both appointed and elected roles. This directly affects county highway boards in larger Idaho counties managing regional road infrastructure.
