STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS29301 / H0520
This legislation amends section 36-2120 of the Outfitters and Guides Act to clarify the calculation that the
Outfitters and Guides Licensing Board (the “Board”) uses to designate deer and elk hunting tags that are
allocated for the use of outfitted hunters by the Idaho Fish and Game Commission (the “Commission”). These
changes specify that the two years of prior use that form the basis for the calculation are the two (2) calendar
years preceding the date of allocation.
This change is necessary to ensure that the Board will use the same years of use to designate tags as the
Commission used to allocate the tags. It will also ensure the Board can timely designate tags to individual
outfitters, which will be beneficial to the outfitter’s businesses.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact of this legislation on the State's General Fund and the Division's Dedicated Fund.
