IDAHO COUNCIL ON INDIAN AFFAIRS – Amends existing law to provide for the council members to elect two cochairs.

RS31247 / S1313

This legislation concerns the Idaho Council on Indian Affairs. The council is made up of ten members. There are five tribal members with one member from each of the five federally recognized Indian tribes in Idaho, four legislators, and one member appointed by the governor. The existing council includes a chairman and a vice chairman. This legislation would require two co-chairmen, one chairman from the tribal members and one chairman from the legislative members.

This legislation does not propose to spend any monies. The Idaho Code would need to be updated to reflect this change in the statute.
