This bill amends Section 22-112 of the Idaho Code to introduce provisions for "certificates of free sale," which certify that agricultural products are grown or processed in Idaho and comply with state health and sanitary laws. The bill outlines the process for exporters to apply for these certificates, including the payment of an application fee not exceeding $100 and the requirement to submit health inspection records. Additionally, it clarifies that the Idaho Department of Agriculture and agricultural entities are not liable for any negligent acts during joint promotional activities.

Furthermore, the bill declares that certain administrative rules in IDAPA 02.01.05 regarding certificates of free sale will be null and void as of July 1, 2026. It also includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The act is set to take effect on the same date, July 1, 2026, due to an emergency declaration.
