H 804 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES – Amends existing law to provide that a single county-wide highway district’s service area shall expand to include annexed territory.

This bill amends Idaho law to allow county-wide highway districts to automatically expand their service area when a city within the district annexes territory from an adjoining county. The change ensures that the highway district maintains responsibility for roads in newly annexed areas without requiring additional votes or legislative action. It clarifies that the district's jurisdiction follows the city's boundaries, so road maintenance and tax collection responsibilities shift to the district when annexation occurs. The bill also includes standard provisions for how the highway district commissioners can create and enforce local rules through a two-thirds vote and public notice.
