The bill amends Section 58-1504 of the Idaho Code to establish a continuous appropriation for the Rangeland Improvement Account, ensuring that funds are exclusively used for the purposes outlined in the chapter. The account will consist of various sources of revenue, including sales, leases, fees, grants, and appropriations from both state and federal governments, as well as private foundations. Additionally, the bill mandates that interest earned on the account's funds will remain within the account.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new reporting requirements, stipulating that the Department responsible for administering the account must provide an annual report to several legislative committees. This report will detail all sources and uses of the funds in the Rangeland Improvement Account for the previous fiscal year. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2026.
