H0191 limits Idaho Water Resource Board (IWRB) members to two (2) four-year terms. Term limits can help improve IWRB accountability while maintaining expertise in water resource management.

Specifics:

• Limits board members to two four-year terms (the only substantive change to existing code).

• Board members must be qualified electors with knowledge and active participation in water reclamation, use, or conservation.

• Board members come from four distinct districts covering different counties in Idaho.

• Board members are appointed by Idaho governor with advice and consent of Idaho senate.

Additional justification for term limits:

• Video clips from IWRB Finance Committee Meeting No. 8-24 (12/16/24) discuss needing more money though they didn’t know how much — just “more”). youtube.com/watch?v=mSW…
