Committee introduces three resolutions; members vote to introduce RS32078, RS32114 and RS32146
Summary
The committee voted by voice to introduce three legislative study (RS) documents: a land‑bank timing change, a grizzly-bear delisting request, and a muzzleloader-only hunting measure.
The Idaho House Resources Committee introduced three RS (research/statement) documents during the meeting and approved motions to introduce each by voice vote.
RS32078 — Land bank timing
Representative Rubel introduced RS32078, a draft that would extend options for the State Land Board to retain proceeds from endowment land sales in a land bank for a longer period before transferring those proceeds into the permanent endowment. Vice Chairman Shepherd moved to introduce RS32078; the committee approved the motion by voice vote. The committee record does not show a roll-call tally; the chair declared, "The ayes have it."
RS32114 — Grizzly bear management and delisting request
Representative Gerald Raymond introduced RS32114 calling on the federal administration to consider delisting grizzly bears and returning management to the state. The resolution also requests broader review of the Endangered Species Act. Representative Shepherd moved to introduce RS32114; the committee approved it by voice vote.
RS32146 — Muzzleloader-only hunt/sabbath exemption
Representative Ron Mendy introduced RS32146 (a pared-down measure from a prior proposal) that would create a muzzleloader-only hunting option for a Sabbath exemption; the committee introduced the RS after a motion and voice vote. The motion passed and the RS will proceed to the committee filing process.
