The Act was repealed by the Idaho state

There were no initiative, referendum or recall provisions in the Constitution so citizen activists got organized and managed to pass the state's 17th Amendment creating those provisions in 1912. It took the legislature until 1932 to pass the amendment's implementing legislation which did not go into effect until 1934.

In 1934 we were in the middle of the Great phone number list Depression. Nationally the unemployment rate was 25 percent but here in Idaho it was 40 percent. People were losing their farms to taxes that could not be paid. The problem was so serious that a man named Luker organized the state and passed the Senior Citizens' Land Act as a citizens' initiative in the mid-1930s with 68 percent of the popular vote. The Act prevented the state from seizing property for back taxes during this particularly difficult time in American history.

Luker sued the Secretary of State George Curtis in 1943 claiming that the state violated the people's constitutional right to pass laws through the initiative process.

In a 4-1 decision, the State Supreme Court upheld the state's repeal of the Senior Citizen Land Act. The state high court ruled that both citizens and the legislature had the right to make laws and that right included passing and repealing each other's laws.
