This bill amends Section 49-123 of the Idaho Code to revise the definition of "authorized emergency vehicle." The new language includes the addition of vehicles belonging to or operated by a wildland fire agency or association while responding to a wildland urban interface fire. This change aims to clarify the types of vehicles that are recognized as emergency vehicles under Idaho law, thereby enhancing the legal framework surrounding emergency response operations.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This expedited timeline underscores the importance of the amendments in ensuring that wildland fire agencies are properly recognized and supported in their emergency response efforts.
