AI Summary

This bill adds a new section to existing Idaho law to provide for the protection of working animals. The bill guarantees the right to utilize working animals for their mutual benefit and welfare, and prohibits any county, municipality, state agency, or political subdivision from enacting or enforcing any ordinance, regulation, or rule that is more restrictive than state law or that terminates, bans, or effectively bans the on-the-job use of working animals or a working animal enterprise. The term "working animal" is defined broadly to include animals used for a variety of purposes, such as hunting, entertainment, transportation, education, exhibition, agritourism, ranching, farming, logging, or service. The bill also declares an emergency and provides an effective date of July 1, 2024.
