Amends Section 55-2202, Idaho Code to add definitions including "designated agent" (a company-designated employee of a natural gas transmission pipeline operator) and "natural gas transmission pipeline" (an interstate pipeline as defined in 15 U.S.C. 3301(15)).

Creates new Section 55-2213 requiring public agencies to notify natural gas transmission pipeline operators within 10 business days of application or 90 days before construction, whichever is earlier, when a new development is located within 1,000 feet of an existing pipeline.

Requires pipeline operators to provide location information to developers within 45 days, including easement documents, actual pipeline location, marking facilities on design drawings, and maps.

Mandates developers include a statement on final plats filed with public agencies indicating either that preliminary information was reviewed with the pipeline operator or that reasonable notification attempts were made but no response was received.

Requires pipeline operators to file annually by January 1 a document identifying a designated agent with contact information including name, title, mailing address, email address, and telephone number.

Effective date is July 1, 2022, with an emergency declaration.
