Bill Summary
RELATING TO URBAN AGRICULTURE; AMENDING SECTION 22-1002, IDAHO CODE, AS AMENDED IN SECTION 1 OF SENATE BILL NO. 1026, IF ENACTED BY THE FIRST REGULAR SESSION OF THE SIXTY-EIGHTH IDAHO LEGISLATURE, TO DEFINE A TERM; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
AI Summary
This bill amends Idaho Code Section 22-1002 by adding a new definition for "small-scale livestock" that describes it as the ownership and raising of animals in limited numbers for personal use, small-scale production, or educational purposes, typically on urban, suburban, or small rural properties with space constraints. The definition clarifies that small-scale livestock regulations may cover various animals such as poultry, rabbits, bees, miniature pigs, and goats, and will include provisions for sanitation, noise control, and public health and safety measures. As part of this amendment, the bill also renumbers the subsequent definitions in the section, shifting "Urban farming" and "Victory gardening" to new numbered positions. The bill includes an emergency clause and will take effect on July 1, 2025, indicating the legislature views this definitional update as time-sensitive and important for clarifying agricultural practices in Idaho, particularly in urban and smaller property contexts.
