H 566 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

STATE TRUST FOR OUTDOOR RECREATION ENHANCEMENT ACT – Amends and repeals existing law to remove outdated or unnecessary provisions.

This bill (H 566) removes outdated or unnecessary provisions from Idaho's laws related to a State Trust for Outdoor Recreation Enhancement. It repeals specific sections of Idaho Code (67-4245 through 67-4249) that defined the trust's purpose, administration, and funding rules, and amends another section (67-4223) to remove references to the trust fund. The bill does not create new programs or change funding mechanisms; it solely streamlines existing law by eliminating obsolete language. The legislative intent states this cleanup ensures Idaho's statutes are "streamlined, up-to-date, and essential for the citizens."
