| | | 2025 Idaho REALTORS® Legislative Session Review | |
The First Regular Session of the 68th Idaho Legislature completed its work on April 4, 2025, taking 89 legislative working days – 6 days fewer than 2024.
Idaho REALTORS® (IR) was at the negotiating table for many policy discussions and played a critical role in the passage of several pieces of legislation during the 2025 Idaho Legislative Session including HB354, authored by Idaho REALTORS® and Representative Dustin Manwaring (R-29), which will ensure all 44 Idaho counties administer the Homeowner’s Exemption in a uniform manner; HB266aa,aaS & SB1164aa, which ensure a more efficient inspection / reinspection process and timely permit responses from local governments; HB149, which is a consumer protection bill relating to “mortgage trigger leads” and correcting unintended consequences to property owners being solicited by these types of practices.
In addition, IR was proud to support legislation which will provide property tax and income tax relief to Idahoans in 2025 (HB40, HB304) and helped establish and adopt an interim housing committee (SCR103) over the summer, keeping private property rights and housing issues at the forefront of the Idaho Legislature’s discussions moving into 2026.

Our “Raising the Bar: The REALTOR® Code of Ethics” video series is in full swing, and there’s more to come. Over the past few weeks, we’ve released new episodes exploring key Articles of the Code, featuring insights from Idaho REALTORS® leadership. These short videos are designed to help REALTORS® reflect on their ethical obligations, stay informed, and raise the bar in their daily practice.
The most recent episode features Immediate Past President Katrina Wehr discussing Article 4 and Standard of Practice 4-2, which focus on full disclosure when you or someone close to you has a direct interest in a transaction. Katrina explains what disclosure looks like, why it matters, and how it protects both your clients and your reputation.
Past episodes have covered the foundations of the Code with 2025 President Julie Anglesey and broker cooperation under Article 3 with 2025 President Elect Michelle Bailey. Each video provides practical guidance, real-world examples, and reminders of what sets REALTORS® apart.
We’ll be releasing more episodes in the coming weeks, each focused on a specific Article and Standard of Practice. Stay tuned as we continue this series throughout the month and help REALTORS® across Idaho recommit to the highest ethical standards.
