This bill amends Chapter 11 of Title 36 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 36-1106, which establishes specific provisions for checking traps set for gray wolves. Under this new section, individuals who set or place traps or snares are required to inspect each trap and snare every seventy-two hours and promptly remove any catch. The bill also outlines two acceptable methods for inspection: physically visiting each trap and snare or using a remote transmitting camera that provides an unobstructed view of the trap or snare.
Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2026. This urgency suggests that the legislature recognizes the need for immediate implementation of these regulations to ensure the proper management and humane treatment of wildlife.
