LOCAL GOVERNMENT – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding compensation and benefits of local boards.

H 411 amends Idaho Code to standardize compensation and benefits for over 20 types of local board members, including airport authorities, county fairs, weed control committees, cemetery boards, fire districts, and recreation districts. The bill removes retirement benefits and health care coverage for all these positions and limits compensation to reimbursement of actual, necessary expenses under Section 59-509(b), Idaho Code. It directly affects thousands of unpaid local board members across Idaho who previously may have received benefits. The changes apply to all referenced boards without exception, focusing solely on eliminating benefits and restricting payment to expense reimbursements.
