9 SECTION 1. That Section 50-901, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
10 amended to read as follows:
11 50-901. ORDINANCES -- STYLE -- PUBLICATION -- WHEN EFFECTIVE -- IMMEDIATE

15 effect and within one (1) month after they are passed, be published in full or
16 by summary as provided in section 50-901A, Idaho Code, in at least one (1)
17 issue of the official newspaper of the city, or mailed as provided in section

19 contagious disease, or other impending danger, requiring its immediate
20 enforcement, such ordinances shall take effect upon the proclamation of the
21 mayor or president of the council, posted in at least five (5) public places
22 of the city; provided further, that nationally recognized codes such as, but
23 not limited to, those establishing rules and regulations for the construction,
24 alteration or repair of buildings, the installation of plumbing, the installa-
25 tion of electric wiring, fire prevention, gas piping installations, sanitary

28 of motor vehicles, traffic control devices, motor vehicle laws, liquor and
29 beer laws, housing, construction, health and sanitation, may be adopted by a
30 city council without including more than a particular reference to such code,
31 and without publication or posting thereof, if adoption of such code be made
32 in a regularly adopted and published ordinance; provided further, that not
33 less than three at least one (31) copies copy of the supplemental code, duly
34 certified by the city clerk, shall have been filed for use and examination by
35 the public in the office of the clerk of the city prior to the adoption of the
36 ordinance by the city council. Following its adoption by the city, three one
37 (31) copies copy of the supplemental code shall be retained by the city, one
38 (1) of which shall be filed in the office of the city clerk.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 10655
The legislation provides that cities need only keep one (1) copy
of uniform codes in the city clerk's office. Cities adopting
uniform codes are presently required to purchase and have available
three copies of such codes.
The current law imposes an undue financial hardship on the cities
in Idaho. Codes such as the Uniform Building Code are very costly
to keep updated. The law requiring the counties to retain three
copies of supplemental codes has been amended to require only one
copy some years ago (Idaho Code Section 31-715). Therefore, it is
suggested that the same be changed for cities. Ada county only
needs to purchase one copy of the Uniform Building Code; the City
of Bovill must buy three.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact on the General Fund. There will be
some savings, especially to small Idaho cities.
