1 A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
2 STATING FINDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE AND AUTHORIZING THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TO
3 APPOINT A COMMITTEE TO UNDERTAKE AND COMPLETE A STUDY OF THE LOCAL PLAN-
4 NING ACT AND RELATED STATUTES.
5 Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
6 WHEREAS, the Local Planning Act contained in Chapter 65, Title 67, Idaho
7 Code, was enacted in 1975 and contains a lengthy statement of legislative
8 intent set forth in Section 67-6502, Idaho Code, for the Act's purpose; and
9 WHEREAS, the Local Planning Act has served Idaho's citizens well over the
10 years while Idaho's population has grown rapidly and demands for governmental
11 services have expanded exponentially; and
12 WHEREAS, other provisions of law including the three percent property tax
13 cap for local governments contained in Section 63-802, Idaho Code, and devel-
14 opment impact fees contained in Chapter 82, Title 67, Idaho Code, have impacts
15 on the planning process and the providing of essential services to citizens;
16 and
17 WHEREAS, because of the changes in demographics and population in Idaho,
18 it is time to review the Local Planning Act and related laws to ensure their
19 modernity, to ensure that the purpose mentioned in Section 67-6502, Idaho
20 Code, is being achieved and to reflect relevance to today's Idaho population
21 for infrastructure needs, natural resource protection, and for economic growth
22 opportunities.
23 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the First Regular Session
24 of the Fifty-seventh Idaho Legislature, the Senate and the House of Represen-
25 tatives concurring therein, that the Legislative Council is authorized to
26 appoint a committee to undertake and complete a study of the Local Planning
27 Act and related laws and suggest any modernization of the laws that may be
28 needed. The Legislative Council shall determine the number of legislators and
29 membership from each house appointed to the committee and shall authorize the
30 committee to receive input, advice and assistance from interested and affected
31 parties who are not members of the Legislature.
32 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that nonlegislative members of the committee may be
33 appointed by the cochairs of the committee who are appointed by the Legisla-
34 tive Council. Nonlegislative members of the advisory committee shall not be
35 reimbursed from legislative funds for per diem, mileage or other expenses and
36 shall not have voting privileges regarding the committee's recommendations or
37 proposed legislation.
38 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall report its findings, rec-
39 ommendations and proposed legislation, if any, to the Second Regular Session
40 of the Fifty-seventh Idaho Legislature.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 12938
This resolution authorizes the Legislative Council to
appoint an interim study committee to undertake a review of the
Local Planning Act.
Many changes have occurred in Idaho since passage of the act
and there appear to be increasing land use-related conflicts. It
is timely to undertake such a review to determine if changes need
to be made to assist local governments in their difficult
decisions.
FISCAL IMPACT
Any necessary costs associated with the committee would be
paid out of existing appropriations for the Legislative Council
for the Legislative Services Office.
