SJR 103 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

LANDS – Proposes an amendment to the state constitution to establish provisions for the management of certain lands granted or acquired from the federal government.

SJR 103 proposes a constitutional amendment to manage Idaho's lands acquired from the federal government. It creates two trust systems: one for lands granted under specific historical conditions (allowing limited sales at fair market value with annual limits), and a permanent trust for all other federal lands that **cannot be sold** but may be leased. Revenue from the permanent trust fund must support public lands management, county compensation, improved public access, and K-12 education. The amendment requires voter approval and would prevent future legislative sales of these protected lands while directing funds toward public benefits.
