H 747 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

ABATEMENT DISTRICTS – Amends and adds to existing law to revise provisions regarding abatement districts and to provide for optional participation.

This bill revises Idaho's laws governing mosquito and pest control districts (abatement districts). It adds a new provision (Section 39-2814) allowing property owners to submit specific management plans to opt out of district treatments, requiring districts to monitor these properties but resume treatment if plans fail. The bill also updates emergency procedures, clarifying that aerial spraying of adulticides can only occur during declared health emergencies and only on properties not exempted by approved plans. These changes affect district boards, property owners, and county commissioners managing pest control operations and emergency responses.
