§ 67-8202. Purpose
The legislature finds that an equitable program for planning and financing public facilities needed to serve new growth and development is necessary in order to promote and accommodate orderly growth and development and to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the state of Idaho.

(3) Establish minimum standards for the adoption of development impact fee ordinances by governmental entities;
(4) Ensure that those who benefit from new growth and development are required to pay no more than their proportionate share of the cost of public facilities needed to serve new growth and development and to prevent duplicate and ad hoc development requirements; and
(5) Empower governmental entities which are authorized to adopt ordinances to impose development impact fees.
