Terms Used In Idaho Code 49-2903

  • Property: includes both real and personal property. See Idaho Code 73-114
  • State: when applied to the different parts of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories; and the words "United States" may include the District of Columbia and territories. See Idaho Code 73-114
(3)  The interagency working group shall provide the assistance necessary for the department to ensure that the state maintains a contingent interest in any equipment, property, rail line, or facility that has outstanding grants or loans. The owner of a qualified line as defined in section 49-2904, Idaho Code, shall not use the line as collateral, remove track, bridges or associated elements for salvage, or use it in any other manner subordinating the state’s interest until any loan made to the owner pursuant to this chapter has been repaid in full. As the state is not a primary lender of money, it is understood the state may need to take a subordinate position for its contingent interest.
