AI Summary

  • Adds Section 67-412 to Idaho Code allowing a legislator to designate a qualified person to assume the powers and duties (but not the office) when temporarily unable to perform official responsibilities.

  • Requires that any temporary substitute designated by a legislator must be qualified under the Idaho Constitution and statutes to hold the legislator's office, with such qualification verified by the legislator.

  • Specifies that the temporary substitute serves only until the incumbent legislator resumes duties or a vacancy occurs in the office.

  • Provides that in the event of an attack as defined in Section 67-415 (Idaho Code), the emergency interim legislative succession act applies instead of this provision.
