STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31185 / S1322
This legislation amends Idaho Code § 22-1904 to further define "conveyance" as "retail or wholesale products,
or water known to carry or have a reasonable possibility of carrying invasive species." Up to twenty percent of
the invasive species fund's annual revenue is also to be made available by the department to counties, cities, or
other local entities for equipment and supply costs necessary for the operation of watercraft inspection stations.
Additionally, this legislation creates a new section of code requiring immediate removal of vegetation and water
drainage from conveyances. Nonresidential vehicles must also carry an invasive species sticker and must be
inspected at a watercraft inspection station prior to launch.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government nor does it
cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government therefore the legislation has no fiscal
impact.
