An Intermodal
Commerce zone - aka 'Free Enterprise Zones", are
bounded areas that have a governing authority with
the power to make rules regarding which businesses
can locate within them. They come with
significant advantages including tax incentives to
get businesses to want to move into them.
This is way to control business activity within a
community. The central planners determine
where they want businesses to locate - and they
designate an Intermodal Commerce Zone.
In Idaho, the
legislation necessary to authorize Intermodal
Commerce Zones began in 2004.

Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this
legislation is to amend Title
70, Chapter 29 authorizing the
legislature to create an
intermodal authority in each
county. This legislation
requires passage of a county
ordinance by commissioners,
after a public hearing, to
exercise the powers county
commissioners grant to
intermodals as set out in this
chapter.
The amendment makes clear that
property held by an intermodal
is public property, is
essential, and for public good
and sets out provisions of
disposal of such property.
This legislation clarifies
requirements for intermodal
commissioners to serve or be
removed from office, and it
further amends current code
establishing proper authority
for issuance of revenue bonds
to support the intermodal
commerce authority.
Lastly, the amendment
specifies that property held
by an intermodal commerce
authority, as an entity of the
county, is tax exempt. |

Statement of Purpose
This legislation adds a new
Section 7-701A, Idaho Code, to
provide that the right of
eminent domain may be
exercised on behalf of a
public use, to provide that
conveyance of a condemned
property or an interest in a
condemned property to a
private party shall not be a
public use and to provide
application. Sections 50-2018
and 50-2903, Idaho Code, are
amended to further define the
terms "deteriorated area" and
"deteriorating area" and make
technical corrections.
This legislation provides
procedures for acquisition of
property within a deteriorated
area; provides for acquisition
of property located within
adjoining areas; limits
eminent domain powers of a
county-based intermodal
commerce authority; and
provides that no governing
body shall delegate the power
of
eminent domain to an
intermodal commerce authority
nor shall a governing body
exercise the power of eminent
domain on behalf of any
intermodal commerce authority
on behalf of any project of an
intermodal commerce authority.
