This bill amends Section 35-104 of the Idaho Code to clarify the responsibilities of landowners regarding the erection and maintenance of fences bordering federally managed lands. The new provisions specify that each adjoining landowner is responsible for maintaining the half of the fence that is to their left when facing the other property, unless otherwise agreed. Additionally, the bill introduces a new subsection that states any landowner wishing to prevent livestock from federally managed land from entering their property must take sole responsibility for erecting and maintaining a lawful fence along the property line.

The bill also makes a technical correction by changing the term "uninclosed" to "unenclosed." An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This legislation aims to clarify fencing responsibilities and ensure that landowners take appropriate measures to protect their property from livestock on adjacent federally managed lands.
