FISH AND GAME -- Adds to existing law to provide for nonresident tags and permits for deer, elk, and pronghorn antelope and to provide for the Nonresident Draw Implementation Committee.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation shifts most general out-of-state hunter tags for deer, elk, and pronghorn from a first-come, first-served over-the-counter system to a drawing-based system, starting on November 15, 2026. The details of how this will be accomplished will be developed by a six-person implementation committee appointed by the Speaker of the House, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the Idaho Fish & Game Commission, and the Fish & Game Director. This committee will develop recommendations for any necessary changes to statute and rule, and will deliver these recommendations to the Legislature at the beginning of the 2025 legislative session.
