SCR 124 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

WILDLIFE CROSSINGS – States findings of the Legislature and supports wildlife crossings.

This bill is a concurrent resolution that formally expresses the Idaho Legislature's support for wildlife crossings designed to help animals safely cross roads. It recognizes that big game species like deer, elk, and pronghorn need unbroken migration paths to survive and that highway collisions endanger both wildlife and people. The resolution highlights that infrastructure projects such as overpasses and underpasses have successfully reduced wildlife-vehicle accidents and encourages future investments in these crossings where local communities agree. Copies of the resolution are sent to state officials and federal representatives to promote continued efforts in wildlife conservation and public safety.
