This bill amends Chapter 4, Title 36 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 36-419, which explicitly states that the Department of Fish and Game is prohibited from adopting or enforcing any rules that would ban the use of sabots during a muzzleloader-only hunting season. This change aims to clarify the regulations surrounding muzzleloader hunting and ensure that hunters can use sabots without fear of rule violations.
Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect on July 1, 2025. This expedited timeline indicates the legislature's intent to address this issue promptly, ensuring that the new regulations are in place for upcoming hunting seasons.
