Law
Library board elections, terms
LIBRARY BOARD ELECTIONS – Amends existing law to change library board elections from once every six years to once every four years.

RS30889 / S1235

This legislation amends Idaho Code to change the terms of library district trustees from six (6) year terms to four (4) year terms. The change will take effect on January 1. 2025 and apply to elections held in 2025 and going forward. All trustees elected through 2023 will fulfill their original six-year terms.

There is not expected to be an impact on state or local funding, since the time of the underlying elections does not change.
