The bill amends Section 36-2103 of the Idaho Code to clarify exceptions to the definitions of "outfitter" and "guide." It specifies that private landowners and their employees, individuals who rent or lease equipment to hunters or fishermen, and members of certain nonprofit organizations are not classified as outfitters or guides under specific conditions. Notably, the bill introduces a new exception for public or private postsecondary educational institutions accredited by an organization recognized by the state board of education.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that individuals who obtain permission to outfit or guide on private property must be licensed unless their written agreement with the property owner states otherwise. The bill also includes technical corrections and declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
