DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES – Amends existing law to revise a definition regarding which governmental entities are authorized to adopt development impact fees.
H 766 amends Idaho Code to revise the definition of "governmental entity" in development impact fee law. The bill explicitly specifies that cities, counties, single countywide highway districts, fire protection districts, and ambulance service districts are authorized to adopt development impact fee ordinances. This change directly affects these local government units by clarifying their authority to impose fees on developers to fund public infrastructure. The bill does not alter fee calculation methods, project requirements, or infrastructure types covered - only the list of entities permitted to implement the fee system.
