LOCAL GOVERNMENT – States finding of the Legislature and recognizes the vital role of cities in Idaho and supports the prioritization of local control.

SCR 107 is a non-binding concurrent resolution recognizing Idaho cities as vital to the state's population (76.3%), economy (71% of businesses), and infrastructure (64.8% of roads). It states the Legislature's findings that cities provide essential services like public safety (employing 2,716 officers) and infrastructure maintenance, and urges state agencies to consult cities when creating policies affecting local communities. The resolution supports prioritizing local control over state mandates for issues like housing and public safety, but does not create new laws or alter funding. It has no legal effect and serves only to affirm the Legislature's position on municipal governance.
