  • The Idaho Community Reinvestment Pilot Initiative makes available up to $1.5 million in state funds to private and non-profit entities completing Department of Environmental Quality-approved clean-ups at any of the 10 properties selected as pilot "Brownfields." Upon completion of the clean-up, the state will issue the participant a Community Reinvestment Rebate equaling 70%  of the clean-up costs incurred, with a maximum rebate of $150,000 per pilot Brownfield. For information, visit http://www.deq.state.id.us/Applications/Brownfields/community_reinvestment_pilot.cfm

  •  WARNING! If your business ships products to California, you may need to comply with Prop 65 requirements. Prop 65 requires businesses to label products that contain any of 750 chemicals identified by the State of California as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. A list of the chemicals can be found at www.oehha.org/prop65.html. Though the state has no permitting or reporting requirements, lawsuits are being filed against businesses who fail to properly label products, most by citizen activists. Penalties up to $2,500 per product per day, plus legal fees, have been assessed. 

This site is a major effort of the RIB Committee. Would you like the committee to address a particular business issue? Please click on the RIB logo for more information. Click here to learn about the RIB Committee.
