The zoning districts shall be in accordance with the policies set forth in the adopted comprehensive plan.

(a) Within a zoning district, the governing board shall where appropriate establish standards to regulate and restrict the height, number of stories, size, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair or use of buildings and structures; percentage of lot occupancy, size of courts, yards, and open spaces; density of population; and the location and use of buildings and structures. All standards shall be uniform for each class or kind of buildings throughout each district, but the standards in one (1) district may differ from those in another district.

(b) Within an overlay zoning district, the governing board shall establish clear and objective standards for the overlay zoning district while ensuring that application of such standards does not constitute a regulatory taking pursuant to Idaho or federal law.

(2) Ordinances establishing zoning districts shall be amended as follows:

(a) Requests for an amendment to the zoning ordinance shall be submitted to the zoning or planning and zoning commission, which shall evaluate the request to determine the extent and nature of the amendment requested. Particular consideration shall be given to the effects of any proposed zone change upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing public services, including school districts, within the planning jurisdiction. An amendment of a zoning ordinance applicable to an owner's lands or approval of conditional rezoning or denial of a request for rezoning may be subject to the regulatory taking analysis provided for by section 67-8003, Idaho Code, consistent with the requirements established thereby.

(b) After considering the comprehensive plan and other evidence gathered through the public hearing process, the zoning or planning and zoning commission may recommend and the governing board may adopt or reject an ordinance amendment pursuant to the notice and hearing procedures provided in section 67-6509, Idaho Code, provided that in the case of a zoning district boundary change, and notwithstanding jurisdictional boundaries, additional notice shall be provided by mail to property owners or purchasers of record within the land being considered, and within three hundred (300) feet of the external boundaries of the land being considered, and any additional area that may be impacted by the proposed change as determined by the commission.

Notice shall also be posted on the premises no less than one (1) week prior to the hearing. When notice is required to two hundred (200) or more property owners or purchasers of record, alternate forms of procedures that would provide adequate notice may be provided by local ordinance in lieu of posted or mailed notice. In the absence of a locally adopted alternative notice procedure, sufficient notice shall be deemed to have been provided if the city or county provides notice through a display advertisement at least four (4) inches by two (2) columns in size in the official newspaper of the city or county at least fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing date, in addition to site posting on all external boundaries of the site. Any property owner entitled to specific notice pursuant to the provisions of this subsection shall have a right to participate in public hearings before a planning commission, planning and zoning commission or governing board subject to applicable procedures.

(c) The governing board shall analyze proposed changes to zoning ordinances to ensure that they are not in conflict with the policies of the adopted comprehensive plan. If the request is found by the governing board to be in conflict with the adopted plan, or would result in demonstrable adverse impacts upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing public services, including school districts, within the planning jurisdiction, the governing board may require the request to be submitted to the planning or planning and zoning commission or, in absence of a commission, the governing board may consider an amendment to the comprehensive plan pursuant to the notice and hearing procedures provided in section 67-6509, Idaho Code. After the plan has been amended, the zoning ordinance may then be considered for amendment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection.

(d) If a governing board adopts a zoning classification pursuant to a request by a property owner based upon a valid, existing comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance, the governing board shall not subsequently reverse its action or otherwise change the zoning classification of said property without the consent in writing of the current property owner for a period of four (4) years from the date the governing board adopted said individual property owner's request for a zoning classification change. If the governing body does reverse its action or otherwise change the zoning classification of said property during the above four (4) year period without the current property owner's consent in writing, the current property owner shall have standing in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this section.

67-9409 UNIVERSAL LICENSURE.
Status: in_force

67-9409. Universal licensure. (1) A licensing authority shall establish a procedure for the issuance of licensure to a person who:

(a) Possesses current, valid, and unrestricted licensure in another state, district, or territory of the United States; and

(b) Demonstrates competency in the profession or occupation through methods determined by the licensing board or commission.

(2) Each applicant for universal licensure under this section must apply to the applicable licensing authority for relevant licensure. An applicant under this section shall be subject to the laws regulating the person's practice in Idaho and is subject to the applicable licensing authority's jurisdiction. For purposes of this section, the term "licensure" means a license, certificate, registration, permit, or other authorization to practice a profession or occupation.

(3) To determine whether an applicant for universal licensure who possesses the licensure requirements established in subsection (1) of this section is otherwise qualified for licensure under Idaho law, a licensing authority shall require an applicant to complete an application, submit supporting materials, and undergo the same background checks as required of other applicants for licensure.

(4) In addition to the requirements set forth in this section, if it administers an examination as part of the application requirements, a licensing authority may require an applicant to take and pass all or a portion of such examination as may be necessary to demonstrate competence to practice in Idaho. A licensing authority shall not establish a jurisprudence examination to demonstrate competence to practice in Idaho.

(5) An applicant for universal licensure shall pay the same licensing fees as required for applicants under the standard licensing process and shall be subject to all applicable requirements related to maintaining licensure as established by the licensing authority.

(6) A licensing authority may, at its discretion, compare the authorized scope of practice in the state, or states, where the applicant currently holds licensure to the authorized scope of practice in Idaho. If such licensing authority determines that the authorized scope of practice in Idaho is broader than the scope of practice authorized in the state, or states, where the applicant currently holds licensure, such licensing authority may, instead of issuing a denial on the basis of the difference in scope of practice, issue a limited license to such applicant pending completion of the additional education, training, and any other requirements determined necessary by the licensing authority. A limited license issued under this section shall restrict the applicant's practice in Idaho to the scope of practice authorized in the state where the applicant holds prior licensure until such time that the applicant satisfies the education, training, or other requirements deemed necessary by the licensing authority for a limited period of time necessary for an applicant to meet the qualifications for a full license.

(7) This section shall not restrict a person who is a member of a profession or occupation covered by an applicable interstate licensure compact or applicable reciprocity agreement from seeking licensure pursuant to this section. In such a situation, a person may apply for universal licensure under this section or may apply for licensure pursuant to the terms of the applicable licensure compact or reciprocity agreement. A licensing authority may promulgate applicable rules if necessary to implement the provisions of this section.

(8) A licensing authority shall not establish additional methods of demonstrating competency to qualify for universal licensure beyond the requirements to qualify under the standard licensing process.

Status: in_force

67-2302. Prompt payment for goods and services. (1) It is the policy of this state that all bills owed by the state of Idaho or any taxing district within the state shall be paid promptly. No state agency or taxing district supported in whole or in part by tax revenues shall be exempt from the provisions of this section, except as provided in subsection (20).

(2) All bills shall be accepted, certified for payment, and paid within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of billing, unless the buyer and the vendor have agreed by a contract in place at the time the order was placed that a longer period of time is acceptable to the vendor. An invoice is a written account or itemized statement of merchandise shipped, sent or delivered to the purchaser with quantity, value or price, and charges set forth, and is a demand for payment of the charges set forth.

(3) Unless specifically provided by the terms of a contract that details payment requirements, including penalties for late payments, interest penalties shall be due automatically when bills become overdue. It shall be up to each vendor to calculate and invoice interest at the time payment is due on the principal.

(4) Partial payment shall be made on partial deliveries, if an invoice is submitted for a partial delivery, and the goods delivered are a usable unit. Each complete item or service must be paid for within forty-five (45) calendar days.

(5) All proper deliveries and completed services shall be received or accepted promptly and proper receiving and acceptance reports shall be forwarded to payment offices within five (5) working days of delivery of goods or completion of service.

(6) Payment shall be due on the date on which the agency officially receives the invoice or actually receives the goods or services, whichever is later.

(7) The rate of interest to be paid by the state or any taxing district shall be the rate provided in section 63-3045, Idaho Code.

(8) Unpaid interest penalties owed to a vendor shall compound each month.

(9) The provisions of this section shall apply to all purchases, leases, rentals, contracts for services, construction, repairs and remodeling.

(10) No discount offered by a vendor shall be taken by the state or a taxing district or by a project manager administering a state or taxing district supported project, unless full payment is made within the discount period. In the event a discount is taken later, interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance from the day the discount offer expired.

(11) Interest shall be paid from funds already appropriated or budgeted to the offending agency or taxing district or project for that fiscal year. If more than one (1) department, institution or agency has caused a late payment, each shall bear a proportionate share of the interest penalty.

(12) In instances where an invoice is filled out incorrectly, or where there is any defect or impropriety in an invoice submitted, the state agency, taxing district, or project, shall contact the vendor in writing within ten (10) days of receiving the invoice. An error on the vendor's invoice, if corrected by the vendor within five (5) working days of being contacted by the agency or taxing district, shall not result in the vendor being paid late.

(13) Checks or warrants shall be mailed or transmitted within a reasonable time after approval.

(14) No new appropriation or budget is authorized under the provisions of this section to cover interest penalties. No state agency, taxing district, or project shall seek to increase appropriations or budgets for the purpose of obtaining funds to pay interest penalties.

(15) Payment of interest penalties may be postponed when payment on the principal is delayed because of a disagreement between the state or taxing district and the vendor. At the resolution of any dispute, vendors shall be entitled to receive interest on all proper invoices not paid for as provided in subsection (2) of this section.

(16) The provisions of this section shall in no way be construed to prohibit the state or any taxing district from making advanced payments, progress payments, or from prepaying where circumstances make such payments appropriate. All such payments shall be made promptly and are subject to interest penalties when payment is late. Where construction, repair and remodeling payments are subject to retainage, interest penalties shall accrue on retained amounts beginning thirty (30) calendar days after work is completed by the contractor(s) unless otherwise provided by contract.

(17) Each state department, institution and agency head shall be responsible for prompt payments. In all instances where an interest payment has been made by a state agency because of a late payment, the responsible state agency head shall submit to the joint senate finance-house appropriations committee of the legislature at the time of that agency's budget request hearing an explanation of why the bill is paid late and what is being done to solve the late payment problem.

(18) Whenever a vendor brings formal administrative action or judicial action to collect interest due under this section, should the vendor prevail, the state or taxing district is required to pay any reasonable attorney fees awarded.

(19) Where the date of payment to vendors is contingent on the receipt of federal funds or federal approval, the solicitation of bids for contracts and any contracts awarded shall clearly state that payment is contingent on such conditions.

(20) The provisions of this section shall not apply to claims against a county for services rendered to any medically indigent, sick or otherwise indigent person, nor to judgment obligations.

Idaho Code § 67-2922 — Idaho Code / Title 67 / Chapter 29 / Section 67-2922
67-2922 ENDANGERED MISSING PERSON ALERT.
Status: in_force

67-2922. ENDANGERED MISSING PERSON ALERT. (1) There is hereby established a statewide alert system known as the "Endangered Missing Person Alert" that shall be developed and implemented by the Idaho state police missing person clearinghouse. The endangered missing person alert system shall be a program of voluntary cooperation between broadcasters, cable systems, and local and state agencies to enhance the public's ability to assist in recovering missing and endangered persons.

(2) As used in this section:

(a) "Law enforcement agency" means a law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the search for a suspect in a case involving an endangered missing person; and

(b) "Missing person" means a person whose whereabouts are unknown to a parent, guardian, caretaker, or others who have normal contact with the person.

(3) An endangered missing person alert plan shall be developed by a committee, whose membership shall be determined by the director of the Idaho state police, with members from city, county, state, and tribal law enforcement, broadcasters, emergency management officials, and vulnerable population commissions. Such plan shall provide for the use of the emergency alert system, the wireless emergency alert system, and the state police notification system. The endangered missing person alert advisory and review committee shall provide administrative oversight to develop, implement, review, and recommend revisions to the endangered missing person alert plan.

(4) An endangered missing person alert shall not be issued under the same criteria as an Amber alert and shall not be distributed automatically statewide. An endangered missing person alert may be distributed based on the geographic area in which the missing person was last seen or is believed to be. An endangered missing person alert shall be issued with the information available to law enforcement, and lack of detailed information shall not preclude the issuance of an alert. For an incident to qualify for issuance of an endangered missing person alert, an individual, regardless of age:

(a) Must be reported missing to a law enforcement agency;

(b) Must be, or must be believed to be, a temporary or permanent resident of Idaho;

(c) Must be at a location that cannot be determined by a person familiar with the missing individual; and

(d) Must be someone:

(i) Who is incapable of returning to the missing individual's residence without assistance by reason of:

1. Mental illness;

2. Intellectual disability;

3. Dementia;

4. Weather conditions; or

5. Another physical or mental incapacity that requires care of the individual or management of the individual's property;

(ii) Who is missing as the result of abduction by a stranger and does not meet the criteria for an Amber alert or blue alert;

(iii) Who is missing under unexplained, involuntary, or suspicious circumstances;

(iv) Whose disappearance may be the result of the commission of a crime;

(v) Whose disappearance occurred under circumstances that are inherently dangerous;

(vi) Who is in need of medical attention or prescription medication; or

(vii) Who has previously been the victim of a threat of violence or an act of violence.

(5) Before requesting activation of an endangered missing person alert, a law enforcement agency shall verify that the criteria described in subsection (4) of this section have been satisfied. The law enforcement agency shall assess the appropriate boundaries of the alert based on the nature of the endangerment and the circumstances surrounding the last known location of the missing person or suspect.

(6) The state police shall terminate an endangered missing person alert with respect to a particular incident if:

(a) The missing person or suspect is located or the incident is otherwise resolved. Other law enforcement agencies shall notify the law enforcement agency that initiated the alert immediately when such agency locates the missing person, suspect, or vehicle; or

(b) The Idaho state police determines that the endangered missing person alert is no longer an effective tool for locating the missing person.

(7) There shall be no required waiting period for a law enforcement agency to report or investigate an endangered missing person case.

(8) Any entity or individual involved in the dissemination of a endangered missing person alert generated pursuant to the provisions of this section shall not be liable for any civil damages arising from such dissemination.

67-2739 DESIGNATION OF DEPOSITORY — REPORTING OF CAPITAL AND SURPLUS.
Status: in_force

67-2739. Designation of depository — Reporting of capital and surplus. (1) The state treasurer shall designate institutions qualified under this chapter as a state depository or depositories. Such designation shall be determined by competitive bidding or by other means generally accepted as standard business practice. In no case shall the deposit or deposits of state funds in any state depository above the total covered by federal insurance exceed at any one time, in the aggregate, the total of the capital and surplus of such state depository. In the event that any bank has been designated as a depository under this chapter, such designation shall continue in force until revoked by the treasurer.

(2) Every banking corporation or national banking association designated as a state depository and holding any deposit of the funds of the state of Idaho under the provisions of this section shall, on or before beginning to hold such deposits or the effective date of this act, whichever shall be sooner, file with the state treasurer, the affidavit of one of its officers containing the following:

(a) The amount of the capital stock and surplus of such association or corporation; and

(b) A certification that such association or corporation is not currently engaged in, and will not for the duration of its designation as a state depository engage in, a boycott of any individual or company because the individual or company:

(i) Engages in or supports the exploration, production, utilization, transportation, sale, or manufacture of fossil fuel-based energy, timber, minerals, hydroelectric power, nuclear energy, or agriculture; or

(ii) Engages in or supports the manufacture, distribution, sale, or use of firearms, as defined in section 18-3302(2)(d), Idaho Code.

(3) Upon receipt of the affidavit pursuant to subsection(2) of this section, the state treasurer shall determine, subject to the uniform prudent investor act, chapter 5, title 68, Idaho Code, whether to maintain deposits with such banking corporation or national banking association. In the event that such corporation or association has such an affidavit on file with the state treasurer on the effective date of this section, such affidavit or affidavits shall satisfy the requirement of this section until January 31 of the year next following the effective date of this section. Affidavits shall be effective for the purposes of this section for a period of one (1) year following the date of their filing. If such corporation or association is to continue as a designated state depository under this section, a like affidavit shall be filed in like manner for the succeeding year, on or before the date specified by the state treasurer. No such corporation or national banking association shall receive deposits from or act as depository for the funds of the state of Idaho unless and until the affidavit required pursuant to this section is on file with the state treasurer in accordance with this section.

(4) Subsection (2)(b) of this section shall not apply to a state depository designation issued by the state treasurer if the state treasurer determines the requirements of subsection (2)(b) of this section would be inconsistent with the constitutional or statutory duties of the state treasurer or would be contrary to the business needs of the state of Idaho and prevent the state of Idaho from fulfilling its legal duties or obligations.

(5) The state treasurer shall revoke the state depository designation of any banking corporation or national banking association determined by the state treasurer to be currently engaged in any activities prohibited by this section. In determining if a banking corporation or national banking association has engaged in activities prohibited by this section, the state treasurer shall rely only upon publicly available statements or information made by any person authorized to speak on behalf of such corporation or association or in the corporation or association's official external communications. Prior to any such revocation of a state depository designation, the state treasurer shall provide the banking corporation or national banking association with sixty (60) days' prior written notice identifying the specific prohibited activities at issue and providing the banking corporation or national banking association the opportunity to refute in writing having engaged in the specified prohibited activities. A decision by the treasurer revoking a depository designation may be appealed by the banking corporation or national banking association to district court within twenty-eight (28) days of the treasurer's decision, and the reviewing court shall review the appeal under the standard for appeals set forth in section 67-5279, Idaho Code.

(6) The state treasurer is authorized in his or her discretion and from time to time to negotiate for the payment to designated state depositories of reasonable compensation for services rendered in acting as such depositories. The method and/or rate of such compensation and the terms and conditions thereof shall be fixed by the state treasurer after such negotiation, which may include the calling for bids for specific services. All bids received, whether by a formal bidding process or by negotiation, and the compensation fixed by the treasurer, which shall be in the form of a written agreement, shall be a matter of public record.

(7) For the purposes of this section, a boycott means that the banking corporation or national banking association, without a reasonable business purpose, refuses to offer financial services to an individual or organization, terminates business with an individual or organization, or takes another action that is intended to penalize, inflict economic harm on, or limit commercial relations with an individual or organization because the individual or organization:

(a) Engages in a particular business sector;

(b) Engages in a particular business sector and does not commit or pledge to meet standards beyond applicable federal and state law; or

(c) Does business with an individual or organization that engages in a particular business sector.

(a) Promoting the financial success or stability of a financial institution;

(b) Mitigating risk to a financial institution;

(c) Complying with legal or regulatory requirements; or

(d) Limiting liability of a financial institution.
