IDAHO ONEPLAN – Amends existing law to remove outdated references to the “Idaho OnePlan.”
Summary
S1243 is a housekeeping bill that updates Idaho Code by removing obsolete references to the Idaho OnePlan from Sections 22-2717 and 22-2718. The statement of purpose explains that Idaho OnePlan was a computer-based natural resource planning system for landowners and land users, but it became obsolete in 2018. The bill is part of the Idaho Code Cleanup Act effort to streamline and modernize state law by repealing or revising outdated provisions.
The measure does not create a new program, impose new requirements, or change substantive policy. Instead, it cleans up statutory language so the code reflects current practice and no longer refers to a defunct system. The bill was signed by the Governor and became Session Law Chapter 56, effective July 1, 2026.
Impact
The bill amends Idaho Code Sections 22-2717 and 22-2718 by deleting references to Idaho OnePlan, thereby updating the statutory text and removing obsolete terminology from state law. It has no fiscal impact on local, state, or federal funds and does not alter regulatory duties, benefits, or enforcement authority. Its practical effect is limited to statutory cleanup and clarification for affected land-use and natural resource planning provisions.
Sentiment
The bill appears to have been broadly noncontroversial and received unanimous support in both chambers, passing the Senate 35-0 and the House 66-0. The available materials describe it as part of a broader code cleanup effort, suggesting general legislative agreement that outdated references should be removed. There is no committee transcript indicating opposition or extended debate.
Contention
There is little to no visible contention around S1243. The only substantive issue identified in the bill materials is whether the Idaho Code should retain references to Idaho OnePlan, but the bill’s sponsors and the Code Cleanup Act framework treat those references as obsolete and unnecessary. Because the bill is purely corrective and carries no fiscal impact, no opposing policy position is reflected in the available record.
