Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the board of trustees of the district boards of health; and to provide for appropriations to the public health districts.

A 2015 study by the Office of Performance Evaluations found that the current formula to fund Idaho public health districts is "…not clearly or consistently linked to program needs within districts." In response to the study, this legislation would set a new fee formula in Idaho Code to provide needed stability, equity and administrative simplicity. The proposed formula also ties funding to direct health district need based on readily available population and poverty numbers. A three year phase-in is also included in an effort to minimize immediate fiscal impacts to health districts as funding is adjusted.
