AI Summary

This bill adds a new section to Idaho's existing law to provide for the management of cervidae (deer and elk) farms and ranches under quarantine due to the presence of chronic wasting disease (CWD). The key provisions include requiring adequate perimeter fencing to prevent the ingress or egress of cervids, allowing for the hunting or slaughter of animals during quarantine with the requirement to submit brain tissue samples for CWD testing, and establishing conditions for lifting the quarantine. The bill also declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2024.
