Bill > HJR010

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Idaho state constitution, specifically Section 8 of Article IX, which deals with state-owned lands. The amendment aims to change how these lands are managed by prioritizing revenue-generating activities, such as timber sales, mining, and grazing, over other uses. It also seeks to ensure that public access for recreation, hunting, fishing, and trapping is maintained as long as it doesn't interfere with these revenue-generating activities. The resolution outlines the process for submitting this proposed amendment to the voters for their approval at the next general election, directing the Legislative Council to prepare necessary statements and the Secretary of State to publish the amendment and related arguments as required by law.
