House Concurrent Resolution No. 3 authorizes the Legislative Council of Idaho to appoint a committee tasked with conducting a two-year study on natural resource issues, particularly focusing on water-related matters. This initiative arises from the recognition that significant natural resource challenges persist in Idaho, including the stabilization of the water distribution system, the status of aquifers, and wildlife management. The committee will consist of ten legislators, evenly split between the Senate and the House of Representatives, and will be empowered to seek input from non-legislative stakeholders and experts in relevant fields.

The resolution outlines that the committee will report its progress to the Second Regular Session of the Sixty-eighth Idaho Legislature and provide a comprehensive report, including findings and recommendations, to the First Regular Session of the Sixty-ninth Idaho Legislature. Additionally, the cochairs of the committee are permitted to appoint advisors with technical expertise, although these advisors will not receive reimbursement for expenses and will not have voting rights on the committee's decisions.
