Sec. 42-222(2) for failure to put the rights to beneficial use for a term of five years or more. It repeals I.C. Sec. 42-502(2) that prohibits a grazing permittee from being an agent of the federal government for purposes of acquiring a stockwater right in the permittee's name. It repeals I.C. Sec. 42-503 that provides a forfeiture procedure only for certain federally-owned stockwater rights. It amends I.C. Sec. 42-504 to clarify that a stockwater right for use on a federal grazing allotment may not be used for another purpose or at another place of use.
