This bill amends Idaho Code Sections 36-1101 and 36-1401 to enhance regulations regarding wildlife hunting and violations. A significant addition is the prohibition of constructing any permanent or temporary blinds, pits, platforms, or tree stands within three hundred feet of water troughs or stock ponds on public land. Violators of this provision will be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to penalties as outlined in Section 36-1402. Additionally, the bill clarifies that unauthorized use of special permits for hunting from motorized vehicles by physically disabled individuals can lead to permit revocation.
The bill also revises the list of infractions and misdemeanors related to fish and game violations, including the construction of blinds and the use of artificial fasteners in restricted areas. It emphasizes the importance of compliance with existing rules and regulations, ensuring that violations are appropriately categorized and penalized. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
