Policy Guidance
If you are aware of any bills being drafted, industry or advocacy groups that are working on planning-related topics and/or similar activity “brewing” within your region, please either let one of the Legislative Committee Co-Chairs or your APA ID Region Representative know so we can assist with any potential legislation.
Beyond the individual bills we track and work on, the primary goal of the Legislative Committee is relationship-building, both with legislators and partner organizations who share APA’s commitment to good planning. Our goal is to develop a reputation of being proactive vs. reactive and have a strong influence on planning within Idaho. We also are committed to having a consistent presence. This means engaging, making phone calls, and visiting with decision-makers. These relationships are not only for this committee but for APA ID members and your communities! Please reach out and start a dialogue on planning and community development with your legislators.
We look forward to serving you, our chapter, and your communities in this position!
Please feel free to contact one or both of the Legislative Committee Co-Chairs if you have any questions or information to share.
