STATE LAND – Adds to existing law to provide for managed recreation opportunities on state endowment lands.

This bill creates a new legal framework for developing fee-based recreation sites on Idaho state endowment lands, which are lands held in trust to generate revenue for public institutions like schools. It establishes a formal process where the Idaho Department of Lands and the Department of Parks and Recreation must collaborate to identify, plan, and approve specific recreation opportunities such as campsites, bike parks, and hiking trails. The legislation requires that these developments protect existing land leases and public access rights while allowing agencies to charge fees for managed recreation sites to generate additional revenue.
