Amends and adds to existing law to establish provisions for the opening of the shotgun sporting complex in Farragut State Park.
In 2023, the legislature passed House Bill No. 304 which directed the Idaho fish and game commission (IDFG) to expend up to five million dollars in federal funds through the Pittman-Robertson wildlife restoration act to purchase a specific plot of forty to sixty acres of land that the Coeur d’Alene Skeet and Trap Club occupies and leases from the Coeur d’Alene airport in Hayden, Idaho. The FAA and the Federal Wildlife Service could not agree on price for the ground, which has likely killed the potential for a purchase of said ground. This legislation codifies an alternative that was proposed by IDFG, whereby IDFG will lease the current location for a period of years until the operation can be moved to IDFG in Farragut State Park where it will be expanded. The lease and the move and expansion are codified herein.
