2021 AIC Legislative Update AIC Contact Information 2021 AIC Legislative Update AIC Contact Information 3100 S. Vista Ave. Suite 201 Boise, ID 83705 Ph: (800) 344-8594 or (208) 344-8594 Fax: (208) 344-8677 www.idahocities.org FIRST OFF… THANK YOU! We couldn’t have been successful in our legislative efforts without you. Finding Legislative Resources on AIC Website www.idahocities.org Major Last Minute Policy Issues to Resolve Property Taxes Update SB 1108 was defeated narrowly in the Senate. There continues to be a desire for the Legislature to do something. The legislative Property Tax Working Group will be back this summer to continue looking at the issue. The House is expected to introduce an omnibus property tax bill that may include an increase in the Homeowner’s Exemption, additional Circuit Breaker relief, and some form of a property tax cap. It’s not clear whether this proposal will get enough traction to advance. AIC continues to work hard to advance the message that property tax caps are flawed public policy. Transportation Funding House Bill 362 Sponsor: Rep. Joe Palmer, R-Meridian & Sen. Lori Den Hartog, R-Meridian. Increases the distribution of state sales tax revenue for transportation bonding from 1% to 4.5% of revenue, taken out after revenue sharing so it does not impact the revenue sharing distribution. A minimum of $80 million annually is dedicated to ITD for major state highway projects. Local highway jurisdictions—cities, counties and highway districts—would receive revenue over the $80 million dedicated to ITD, which would amount to $4 million in bonding authority the first year and would grow in future years, and locals can pool these funds for projects. House Passed 59-11-0; Awaiting Floor Vote in Senate AIC Supports Election Bills: HB 319 & SB 1111 as Amended One of the more controversial issues this session involved moving city candidate and other elections to November in even numbered years. House Bill 319 was introduced with the goal of changing city elections to even numbered years and then the House realized the bill was likely dead on arrival in the Senate, so the House amended Senate Bill 1111 to incorporate the provisions of HB 319. SB 1111 was a negotiated nearly consensus bill that would have fixed and clarified provisions of law for the bill passed last session that requires cities over 100,000 population to elect their city councilors by district. AIC has weighed in against SB 1111 as amended and we hope that the Senate defeats the bill. SB 1111 as amended passed the House 53-16-1. HB 363 Smoking & Tobacco Retailers, Local Regulations HB 363 Sponsor: Idaho Retailers Association Would prohibit a local government from adopting or enforcing requirements for the regulation, marketing or sale of tobacco products or electronic smoking devices that are more restrictive than Idaho Code Title 39, Chapter 57 or in addition to that chapter. No local government may impose a tax or fee on tobacco products or electronic smoking devices. Local governments retain the power to regulate use of tobacco products or electronic smoking devices in public places or in public outdoor areas. House Passed 61-7-2; Awaiting Hearing in Senate State Affairs Committee AIC Supports Idaho Building Codes - Adoption Over 80% of Idaho cities have adopted building codes. The high rate of adoption reflects cities’ understanding that safely constructed buildings are essential for public health and safety. In 2018, legislation was passed that prevents amendments to the energy conservation code. Statute requirements for local government adoption of building codes were otherwise retained. It is time to update your city’s building code ordinance. Idaho Building Codes – Legislative Update 2021 Legislation Session Update & Looking Ahead to 2022: AIC successfully opposed a proposal that sought to restrict local governments' amendments to the electrical and plumbing code. Idaho stakeholders engaged with the construction and development industries to continue to support uniform minimum codes within Idaho. Resources: See the AIC 2020 Idaho Building Code Adoption Toolkit. Contact Johanna Bell, [email protected] to be added to the Idaho Building Code listserv for training and advocacy announcements. Bills AIC Supported that Passed into Law HB 74 City Quarantines Restricted to City Limits House Bill 74 Sponsor: Rep. Brandon Mitchell, R-Moscow & Sen. Regina Bayer, R- Meridian Restricts city quarantine power to within city limits, removing language currently in Idaho Code 50-304 and 50-606 that references enforcement of quarantines for up to 5 miles outside of city limits, as well as eliminate language authorizing the mayor to enforce city laws up to one mile outside city limits. LAW. Effective 3/12/2021 HB 99 Pollutant Trading House Bill 99 Sponsor: Rep. John Vander Woude, R-Nampa & Idaho Water Users Association Establishes a new code section (I.C. § 39-3640) to authorize voluntary water quality trading programs in Idaho. Voluntary water quality trades between municipal, industrial, and agricultural operations provide an additional means to achieve water quality goals, where pollutant reductions may be obtained from other sources to assist in permit or license pollutant limit compliance. LAW. Effective 7/1/2021 HB 149 COVID Liability Protection Extended House Bill 149 Sponsor: Rep. Julianne Young, R-Blackfoot The bill extends the COVID-19 liability immunity provisions of Idaho Code Chapter 34, Title 6 to July 1, 2022. LAW. Effective 7/1/2021 with 7/1/2022 Sunset Clause HB 156 Impact Fees, Fire Apparatus House Bill 156 Sponsor: Rep. Tammy Nichols, R-Middleton. Clarifies that fire stations and apparatus are public safety facilities that can be paid for with development impact fee revenue. LAW. Effective 7/1/2021 HB 160 Heavy Trucks, Local Procedure House Bill 160 Sponsor: Amalgamated Sugar Co. Removes the sunset clause on the 2019 trucking legislation (House Bill 168), and provides that applicants seeking designated routes no longer have to pay the $5,000 fee to local authorities for technical analysis and also increases the dollar amount for grants to local authorities for route technical analysis from $5,000 to $10,000. LAW. Effective 4/15/2021 SB 1042 QBS, Misc. Amendments Senate Bill 1042 Sponsor: Sen. Jim Woodward, R-Sagle. Makes clarifications and updates to Idaho’s Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) process, covering procurement of professional engineering, construction management, architecture, landscape architecture and land surveying services. The bill would make $50,000 the minimum dollar threshold for using the QBS process outlined in Idaho Code 67-2320, require that the list of ranked respondents and measurable scoring criteria be made available to the public, and provide that the list of pre-approved persons or firms must include at least two for consideration and is valid for up to five years. LAW. Effective 7/1/2021 SB 1044 Urban Renewal, Use of Eminent Domain Senate Bill 1044 Sponsor: Sen. Mary Souza, R-Coeur d’Alene. Restricts use of eminent domain by urban renewal agencies to those that have fully elected boards governing the agency, and in the case the agency has an unelected board, then the city council must make the final decision on using eminent domain. LAW. Effective 7/1/2021 SB 1096 PERSI Disability Benefit for Public Safety Senate Bill 1096 Sponsor: Sen. Todd Lakey, R-Nampa & Rep. James Holtzclaw, R- Meridian. Provides a PERSI catastrophic disability benefit for police officers and firefighters who are seriously injured in the line of duty. The cost of the benefit is borne entirely by the employee. LAW. Effective 7/1/2021 Bills AIC Supported that Did Not Advance or Were Killed HJR 003 Warrantless Misdemeanor Arrests Const. Amendment House Joint Resolution 3 Sponsor: Rep. Greg Chaney, R-Caldwell. Proposes an amendment to the Idaho Constitution allowing law enforcement officers to make warrantless misdemeanor arrests when the officer did not observe the crime for specific offenses authorized by the Legislature and only where probable cause evinces an ongoing threat to public health and safety. In State v. Clarke in 2019, the Idaho Supreme Court ruled that warrantless misdemeanor arrests are unconstitutional unless the alleged crime is witnessed by a law enforcement officer. Died in House State Affairs Committee without a hearing HB 53 Legal Notices, Optional Online Publication House Bill 53 Sponsor: Rep. Jon Weber, R-Rexburg. Would have provided the option for government entities to post legal notices on the entity’s website or send by mail in lieu of publishing in the newspaper. House Failed 32-38-0 SB 1149 Broadband Enabling Legislation Senate Bill 1149 Sponsor: Sen. Doug Ricks, R-Rexburg & Rep. John Vander Woude, R-Nampa. The bill provides express authority for cities, counties and port districts to build and maintain broadband communications infrastructure. The bill prohibits using eminent domain to acquire the facilities or other property of any private communications service provider. Died in Senate State Affairs Committee without a hearing BUT, significant investments in broadband are being made at the federal level and $$$ will be coming to Idaho. Bills AIC Opposed that were Killed (We Think) HB 30 POST Funding, Diversion from Liquor Fund House Bill 30 Sponsor: Idaho Peace Officers Standards & Training (POST). Would have diverted $800,000 from the State Liquor Account for funding POST, splitting the amount equally between the state and local governments. Died in House Judiciary, Rules & Administration Committee HB 45 Rental Fees & Deposit Ordinances, Preemption House Bill 45 Sponsor: Rep. Greg Ferch, R-Boise. Would have added fees and deposits to current language in Idaho Code 55-307 prohibiting local governments from regulating rent charged for leasing private residential property. Died in House Judiciary, Rules & Administration Committee HB 90 Removal of Historical Monuments, Renaming of Streets or Facilities, State Approval House Bill 90 Sponsor: Rep.

  • Stealth at Work
    Stealth at work Marty Trillhaase/Lewiston Tribune JEERS ... to Idaho Senate President Pro Tem Brent Hill, R-Rexburg, and House Speaker Scott Bedke, R-Oakley. You've been left in the dark about a powerful group of lawmakers they've engaged to contemplate whose taxes get cut - and who will pay more. Among the people assigned to this tax working group are the chairmen of the Senate and House tax committees - Sen. Jeff Siddoway, R-Terreton, and Rep. Gary Collins, R-Nampa. Other members include Sens. Jim Guthrie, R-McCammon, Steve Vick, R-Dalton Gardens, Abby Lee, R-Fruitland, Lori Den Hartog, R-Meridian, and Grant Burgoyne, D-Boise, along with Reps. Janet Trujillo, R-Idaho Falls, Dell Raybold, R-Rexburg, Tom Dayley, R-Boise, Robert Anderst, R-Nampa and Mathew Erpelding, D-Boise. Their focus is Utah, where a flat income tax has widened the tax burden between rich and poor. They've met repeatedly this summer. Legislative staffers have been assigned to help them. Representatives of the State Tax Commission, the Division of Financial Management and the Department of Commerce have briefed them. But you will not find this group listed among the 10 interim committees - dealing with everything from broadband access to urban renewal - on the Legislature's web page. Nor has there been any advance word, foiling any pesky citizen who would like to attend one of these sessions. Why the stealth? Could it be they don't want outside voices reminding them how Idaho can't afford any more tax cuts for the well-heeled and the politically connected? If anything, the state will need more taxes to repair the damage done to its schools, public services and higher education.

  • 2020-Idaho-Freedom-Index-Official-1.Pdf
    To read any of the 271 bill analyses IFF published this legislative session, or to research your lawmakers’ voting records, please visit: IDAHOFREEDOMINDEX.COM FROM THE PRESIDENT During an Idaho House floor debate earlier this year, state Rep. Fred Wood, R-Burley, said outside bill ratings aren’t welcome in lawmakers’ deliberations. Wood, who couldn’t summon the courage to utter our name, was speaking about the Idaho Freedom Index. Please know 2020 was a banner year for the Idaho Freedom Index, our flagship project. IFF launched the Index in 2012 to help you hold lawmakers accountable for their votes. This year, it earned unprecedented attention from legislators, lobbyists, and Idahoans. A select few highlights demonstrate the Index’s formidability. Web traffic to the Index and IFF analyses surged more than 40 percent above 2019 levels. This year, lawmakers talked about the Idaho Freedom Index in public meetings more than a dozen times. Finally, lobbyists, who once scoffed at the Index, beat a path to our office seeking assistance to improve their legislation. I want to recognize those who worked tirelessly to bring about this banner year. First, IFF donors deserve immense credit. Their support makes this service available in our state. Next, I bring to your attention IFF Policy Analyst Lindsay Atkinson, who coordinated the Index and evaluated countless bills. Finally, a heartfelt thank you goes to IFF Vice President Fred Birnbaum and Parrish Miller. Both worked long hours and dove deep into legislation to write analyses. I understand the Idaho Freedom Index makes some lawmakers uncomfortable. Accountability to voters causes discomfort for legislators who say one thing on the campaign trail but do another in the Statehouse.
