Idaho Bills

Adds to existing law to provide for managed recreation opportunities on state endowment lands.

RS33739 / H0910 Idaho Department of Lands does so many things well including fire suppression, timber management and GNA coordination. As recreational opportunities and demands on endowment lands become more frequent it will be difficult to stay ahead of those demands with one full-time recreation staffer statewide. It is unlikely that the Idaho will stand up a full-time recreation bureau for the Department of Lands. This legislation provides the statutory authority for Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation and Idaho Department of Lands to jointly provide recreational opportunities on state endowment lands without infringing on legacy uses of those lands.
