Summary

The committee approved Docket No. 13-0117-2401, which repeals 13.01.17 and moves bait-use provisions into chapter 13.01.08 to centralize related rules and simplify public reference.

Amber Worthington, Deputy Director of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, told the committee that Docket No. 13-0117-2401 repeals the existing bait-use chapter and relocates that content into 13.01.08 to streamline the Department's rules. The department presented the change as an organizational move rather than a substantive rewrite.

Senator Guthrie moved to approve the docket and Senator Harris seconded; the motion "carried by voice vote." Committee materials note the consolidation is intended to make interpretation and enforcement consistent by housing related terms and limits in a single chapter.
