    31-847.  LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO OFFICERS. The board of commissioners may
grant to any county officer of their respective counties leave of absence from
their county and the state, for a period not exceeding ninety (90) days,
during which time the absence of such officer does not work forfeiture of his
office; provided, that before the granting of such leave of absence, the
officer (except county commissioners) must appoint a deputy to perform the
duties of his office, as by statute in such cases made and provided, and must
present to, and file with, the board of commissioners of his county the
written consent of each person liable on his official bond, that such leave of
absence be granted; be it further provided, that no leave of absence shall be
granted to more than any one (1) county commissioner at the same time;
providing, however, that where any elective or appointive county officer is
required to absent himself by reason of being a member of the armed forces of
the nation or by reason of official call to service in civilian war work, such
period of absence shall not exceed the date of the next succeeding general
election, such absence shall not work forfeiture of the office of such
officer, and such absence shall suspend the salary of such officer during such
period, except that the board may adopt a policy by which such officer may,
for periods of absence not to exceed four (4) weeks per year, receive his or
her regular salary reduced by an amount equal to any monetary compensation
received for the performance of such military or civilian war work. For
purposes of this section, appointive county officers do not include deputies
appointed pursuant to section 31-2003, Idaho Code.
