(b) Assessment of damages conducted by a state engineer, certified appraiser, or independent adjuster with valuations based on prevailing market replacement costs at the time of the loss, regardless of whether the state utilizes internal inventory or state-contracted pricing to effectuate the repair, including:

(i) All recoverable soft costs, including but not limited to architectural and engineering fees, project management oversight, specialized permit fees, and the cost of temporary relocation or bypass measures required to maintain state services during the repair period; and

(ii) All costs associated with ordinance or law requirements. If the repair of state property triggers a mandatory upgrade to meet current building, safety, or environmental codes, such costs shall be documented and included as a mandatory component of the claim.

(c) Review of the insurance policy limits and exclusions to ensure the state is pursuing the maximum possible recovery across all possible payout scenarios; and

(d) Verification that no other secondary insurance or bonds are available to cover the loss.

(2) After completing the requirements provided in subsection (1) of this section, the director shall provide a report of the findings to the affected agency director or administrator and any state board or commission with administrative authority over the affected agency. The report required in this section shall be exempt from disclosure as provided in section 74-105, Idaho Code.

(4) The director shall pursue the maximum possible recovery across all payout scenarios under the terms and conditions of all applicable private insurance policies.

(5) Following receipt of a proposed final settlement agreement from the insurance company, the director shall report such proposed settlement agreement to the state controller for publication as required in section 67-1085, Idaho Code, at least fourteen (14) days prior to accepting such settlement agreement.

(6) No settlement agreement shall be finalized and no release shall be signed by the director without the written concurrence of the affected agency director, administrator, board, or commission confirming that the payout meets the maximum amount of funds available to the state. If the director and the affected agency cannot reach an agreement on the adequacy of a settlement agreement, the matter shall be referred to the state board of examiners for final determination.

(7) If acceptance of a settlement agreement creates conditions for other operational changes for an agency, including but not limited to the sale of the damaged property or the transfer of state activities to another location, then the affected agency shall hold a public hearing where:

(a) The published agenda for the hearing shall include proposed operational changes;

(b) The affected agency shall present the proposed operational changes and accept public comment; and

It is the intent of the legislature to authorize the establishment of a commercial property assessed capital expenditure (C-PACE) program that local governments may voluntarily implement to ensure that free and willing owners of agricultural, commercial, industrial, or multifamily residential properties can obtain low-cost, long-term financing for qualifying improvements. The legislature finds that enabling local governments to adopt C-PACE programs serves a valid public purpose because the use of C-PACE programs will increase economic development, lower insurance costs, and lower disaster and emergency response costs to local governments. C-PACE programs will also decrease energy and water costs and encourage energy and water sustainability.
