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, as well as individuals who rent or lease equipment to hunters or fishermen, are not classified as outfitters or guides under certain conditions. Additionally, it includes members of nonprofit organizations that provide outdoor experiences to youth, provided they operate on a not-for-profit basis. A new exception is introduced for public or private postsecondary educational institutions accredited by an organization recognized by the state board of education.

The bill also 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 act declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
