FISH AND GAME – Amends existing law to provide for trapping education and licensing.
Idaho's S 1013 requires new trappers (those without a license before July 1, 2011) to complete a state-approved trapping education program and obtain a certificate before receiving a trapping license. The bill updates licensing rules to mandate this education, similar to existing requirements for hunters and archers. It also allows supervised trapping under licensed outfitters/guides (with a big game license) while ensuring compliance with reporting and tagging rules. The law establishes a $8 fee for all participants in trapping education programs to cover materials, and takes effect July 1, 2025.
