Article Eleven also provides for the control of railroad

The Idaho remedy for corporate corruption is within its citizens constitutional grasp. Article 1(1, Section t, reserves to the people themselves “the power to propose laws and enact the same” under the initiative process, as the Idaho chapter of J.A.I.L. is doing. Using a similar format, a Corporate Accountability Initiative could be enacted.

Article 11 of the state Constitution provides the authority for corporate accountability. Section 3 states: “The legislature [and presumably the people by initiative] may provide by law for altering, revoking, or annulling any charter of incorporation...in such manner, however, that no injustice shall be done to the corporators.”

Section 7 requires that, “No corporation...shall have the job function email list benefit of any future legislation, without first filing in the office of the secretary of state an acceptance of this Constitution in binding form.”

Section 8 allows the legislature to take the property and franchises of incorporated companies under eminent domain and prohibits the police powers of the state from being “ abridged or so construed as to permit corporations to conduct their business in such a manner as to infringe on the equal rights of individuals, or the general well being of the state.”

Section 10 requires that foreign corporations doing business in this state must have a known place of business and an agent upon whom process may be served. Foreign corporations are also prohibited from exercising any rights or privileges greater than those exercised by Idaho corporations.
