To ensure that state laws are streamlined, up-to-date, and essential for the citizens of Idaho, while best serving public health, safety, and welfare, the Legislature approved the Idaho Code Cleanup Act, H14 in the 2025 Legislative session. Submitted sections of Idaho Code were reviewed for repeal consideration by the DOGE Task Force on the criteria of obsolete, outdated, and unnecessary. This bill repeals three sections of Idaho Code pertaining to alcoholic beverages: 23-103, Idaho Code, is a prohibition era law pertaining to individuals who had been convicted of a crime prior to the Liquor Act of 1939. 23-215, Idaho Code, is a provision on price lists furnished by sellers. Price lists are compiled and provided by a third-party on a statewide basis. 23-216, Idaho Code, requires contact information for attorneys that represent businesses interested in the sale of liquors or wines be filed with the State Liquor Division.
