Committee prints RS 32228 to define urban agriculture and small-scale livestock
Summary
Senator Tammy Nichols presented RS 32228, a trailer bill to House Bill 126, to add definitions for community gardening, market gardening, small scale livestock and other urban agriculture terms; the committee voted to send the draft to print.
Senator Tammy Nichols introduced RS 32228 on Feb. 18, a trailer bill to House Bill 126 that would amend Idaho Code language to add or clarify definitions for community gardening, market gardening, small-scale livestock, urban farming and victory gardening.
Nichols told the committee the draft seeks to amend “Idaho Code Section 20 two-one 1 0 0 2” (as read into the record) to better define terms related to urban agriculture. The stated purpose in the presentation was to clarify activities in urban and suburban settings — including space- and resource-limited production — to align public-health and safety concerns with local food-production efforts.
After Nichols’ presentation there were no substantive committee questions recorded. Senator Leahy moved to send RS 32228 to print; a second was recorded in the transcript but not named. The committee voted “aye” and the motion carried, sending the draft to print.
The transcript reflects the proposed change is framed as a definitional clarification for code language tied to ongoing legislative work on House Bill 126.
