Committee advances cleanup bill removing obsolete floating-timber and town-site claim provisions
Summary
H 568 would repeal 30 sections in Title 38 and Title 58 related to the Idaho Department of Lands, floating timber practices, and town site claims; the committee recommended DO PASS and Rep. Manwaring will sponsor the bill on the floor.
Rep. Manwaring presented H 568 under the Idaho Code Cleanup Act, saying the proposal repeals 30 sections of Idaho Code in Title 38 and Title 58 that pertain to the Idaho Department of Lands and to floating timber and town site claims. The presenter noted that transporting logs by floating them downriver is no longer common practice and that the town site claim framework dates to the territorial era. Rep. Raybould moved to advance the bill and the committee approved the DO PASS recommendation by voice vote.
The committee recorded no amendments; Rep. Manwaring will sponsor H 568 on the House floor following the committee recommendation.
