Urge Your Elected Officials to Stop HB 557
HB 557 is a bill that limits local control by restricting the ability of cities and counties to make decisions that reflect their local needs. It shifts authority away from local governments and residents, creating a one-size-fits-all approach that could negatively impact Idaho communities.
