House Bill 566, presented as part of the Code Cleanup Act follow-up, would repeal or update six Idaho Code sections related to the State Trust Fund of Outdoor Recreation Enhancement (STORE)/Park Recreation Fund — a fund not active since 1995; the committee voted to send the bill to the floor with a due-pass recommendation.

Representative Dustin Manwaring said House Bill 566 is part of a package of code-cleanup bills resulting from last year's Code Cleanup Act (House Bill 14) and the Doge Task Force process.
