CAPITOL MALL – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding camping and to revise a provision regarding disposition of property.

This bill updates Idaho law governing the use of state property, particularly the Capitol Mall in Boise. It prohibits camping (defined as using tents or structures for sleeping, storage, or cooking) on state-owned land except in designated recreational areas, while allowing temporary side-free canopies for weather protection during rain or snow. The bill also revises procedures for handling unclaimed property left on state land, requiring agencies to hold items for 90 days before deeming them abandoned and disposing of them. Additionally, it clarifies that the Department of Administration manages Capitol Mall properties and can establish rules requiring permits for specific uses of these areas.
