RS32892 / S1396 To ensure that state laws are streamlined, up-to-date, and essential for the citizens of Idaho, while best serving the 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sections of Idaho Code were reviewed for repeal consideration by the DOGE Task Force on the criteria of obsolete, outdated, and unnecessary.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 section of code was submitted through the Idaho Code Cleanup Act by Legislative Council on behalf of the Legislature. This bill repeals Section 67-452, Idaho Code, relating to the Idaho legislator memberships in the Pacific Fisheries [multi-state] Task Force. The State of Idaho has not participated in task force activities since 2022.
