RELATING TO FISH AND GAME; AMENDING SECTION 36-1101, IDAHO CODE, TO PROHIBIT BLINDS NEAR NON-NATURAL WATERING SITES; AMENDING SECTION 36-1401, IDAHO CODE, TO REVISE PROVISIONS REGARDING VIOLATIONS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Idaho law to prohibit the construction of any permanent or temporary blind, pit, platform, or tree stand within 300 feet of a water trough or stock pond on public land, and any violation of this provision will be considered a misdemeanor. Additionally, the bill clarifies that constructing such structures that disturb soil, cut or alter trees, or use artificial fasteners like wire, rope, or nails are also prohibited, and these violations will be classified as infractions under existing fish and game regulations. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon its passage and approval.
