SB 1089

The bill to hold accountable anyone who blocks access to a public road,public-use easement,waterway or public land did not make it out of committee today. If you think your legislators give 2 sheets about your access to public land, you're horribly mistaken.

I agree with you customweld, and thank you for the info on IWF. If anyone else on here is concerned about Idaho wildlife and public lands you might look into Idaho Wildlife Federation

Off the topic what are the ramifications if h162 goes through?

LAST EDITED ON Mar-10-19 AT 02:06PM (MST)[p]I'm not 100 percent sure what the ramifications are going to be. The Bill text is extremely vague in details. There are a couple of things that do stand out:

1. There will be 8 members. 4 from the Senate chosen by Pro Tempore ( Brent Hill). 4 from the House chosen by Speaker of the House (Scott Bedke).

2. The council is authorized to receive input, advice,and assistance from interested and affected parties who are not members of the legislature.

I've got a good idea who the council will be taking their input and advice from (hint, it isn't going to be from public land advocates). I'm sure that IFB will have a lot of sway on this council.

The devil is in the lack of details. The scope of the council does not appear to have much oversight or direction.
