67-8912. COST RECOVERY AND RATE STABILIZATION CHARGES OF PARTICIPATING UTILITIES. (1) A participating utility contracting with the authority for the electricity, service or product provided by a facility may establish one (1) or more rate stabilization charges, cost recovery charges or power cost adjustment charges as it deems necessary to provide for the payment of all amounts owed by the participating utility to the authority with respect to the facility and otherwise enable the participating utility to stabilize its rates, to protect its consumers from volatile market prices and to insure against market and other risks. Such rate stabilization charges, cost recovery charges or power cost adjustment charges may be established by the participating utility as a separate component of its existing rates and charges or as a new charge. (2) A participating utility that is subject to rate regulation by the commission shall submit each of its proposed rate stabilization charges, cost recovery charges or power cost adjustment charges to the commission for approval. (3) Each other participating utility that serves electric consumers in the state but which is not subject to rate regulation by the commission, may establish a rate stabilization charge, cost recovery charge or power cost adjustment charge only after it has provided adequate notice of and a public meeting or hearing on such charge to the members or consumers served by it. A notice shall be deemed to be adequate if: (a) It is given at least fifteen (15) days prior to the public meeting or hearing in the manner usually employed by the participating utility to give notice of its hearings or meetings, by mail, publication or otherwise; and (b) It provides a brief description of the proposed rate stabilization, cost recovery or power cost adjustment charges and a summary of the purposes for which it is being established. After the meeting or hearing has been held, the participating utility may proceed to establish and fix the rate stabilization, cost recovery or power cost adjustment charge. (4) Each participating utility may agree in its contractual arrangements with the authority as to the use and disposition of all or any part of the revenues from any rate stabilization, cost recovery or power cost adjustment charges established by the participating utility. Each participating utility may pledge, and may create and grant a security interest in, all or a portion of such revenues to secure its payment obligations to the authority in respect of any facility. Any such agreement or pledge by a participating utility that is a municipal corporation of the state shall not be deemed to create an indebtedness or liability of such municipal corporation or a loan or donation of its credit within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision.

67-9002. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. The legislature finds that: (1) Rural development has been given a high priority as a means of achieving a sound and mutually beneficial balance between the economies, culture, infrastructure and community vitality of rural and urban areas of Idaho. (2) (a) During the last half century, the legislature has enacted many laws and established many programs to provide resources to rural communities; (b) Efforts have been made, and continue to be needed, to coordinate rural development programs; and (c) During the last decade, the national rural development partnership and its principal components, the national rural development council and state rural development councils, have successfully provided opportunities for collaboration and coordination among federal agencies and between federal agencies and states, nonprofit organizations, the private sector, tribal governments, and other entities committed to rural advancement. (3) State rural development councils were established in 1990 by Presidential executive order as vehicles to help coordinate rural programs. (4) The congress of the United States authorized and codified a national system of rural development coordination and cooperation with enactment of the "national rural development partnership act" (7 U.S.C. 2008m). (5) The national rural development partnership has been recognized as a model of new governance and as an example of the effectiveness of collaboration between the federal, state, local, tribal, private, and nonprofit sectors in addressing the needs of the rural communities. (6) Partnerships between governmental and nongovernmental entities can extend scarce funding through collaboration and cooperation. (7) The continued success and efficacy of the Idaho rural development partnership could be enhanced through specific legislative authorization removing any statutory barriers that could detract from the benefits potentially achieved through the partnership’s unique structure.
