Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

Recognizing the need of hospitals for
the public welfare and the burden for one county to finance the cost of such
construction, operation and maintenance thereof within its own boundaries
under certain circumstances, the boards of county commissioners in their
respective counties shall have the power to jointly and severally enter into
contracts or agreements with one (1) or more adjoining counties to construct,
operate and maintain joint county hospitals, either within or without the
boundaries of such counties, upon a finding of each such board that there is a
public necessity requiring the financing of such hospital facilities jointly
with one (1) or more adjoining counties. The boards of county commissioners
shall have the same powers to operate, finance and bond for such joint county
hospitals as they would have for a county hospital.
