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

H 423 amends Idaho law to revise compensation and benefits for members of 15+ local boards and committees, including airport authorities, county fair boards, weed control committees, cemetery maintenance boards, and fire protection districts. The bill eliminates retirement benefits and health care coverage for all these board members and standardizes reimbursement to cover only actual, necessary expenses under Section 59-509(b) of Idaho Code. For some positions, like fair district directors, it specifies a $35 per diem payment for time spent on district business. This change applies uniformly across all affected boards, removing previous variations in compensation. The bill does not alter voting procedures or create new positions.
