  6        SION  OF  AN APPROVED NOXIOUS WEED MANAGEMENT PLAN UPON FILING OF SUBDIVI-

 10    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
 11        SECTION  1.  That  Section 22-2405, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
 12    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
 13        22-2405.  COUNTY DUTIES. (1) The county control authority shall:
 14        (a)  Carry out the duties and responsibilities vested in the county  under
 15        this  chapter,  section  50-1335,  Idaho Code, and rules prescribed by the
 16        director; and
 17        (b)  Establish and maintain a coordinated program for control  of  noxious
 18        weeds  in  the  county;  employ a county weed superintendent, who may be a
 19        superintendent for more than one (1) county and who shall be qualified  to
 20        detect and treat noxious weeds; and
 21        (c)  Designate  one  (1)  of its members as the liaison between the county
 22        weed superintendent and the county commissioners; and
 23        (d)  Provide operational and educational funds for the county weed  super-
 24        intendent; and
 25        (e)  Be  authorized to initiate cooperative agreements with other agencies
 26        or counties for the designation of or participation  in  cooperative  weed
 27        management areas for control of noxious weeds.
 28        (2)  A  general  notice  for  control  of noxious weeds shall be published
 29    between March 1 and April 30, in a newspaper of general circulation within the
 30    county.  The notice shall contain the list of noxious weeds and identify those
 31    known to be in the county, and shall  stipulate  the  obligation  to  control.
 32    Failure  to  publish the notice for control or serve individual notices herein
 33    provided does not relieve any person from full compliance  with  this  chapter
 34    thereunder.  In all cases said published notice shall be deemed legal and suf-
 35    ficient notice.
 36        (3)  Whenever any county finds it necessary to secure more prompt or defi-
 37    nite control of noxious weeds than is accomplished by the general  notice,  it
 38    shall  cause  individual  notices  on  a form prescribed by the director to be
 39    served upon the landowner and where possible on the operator of the land  giv-
 40    ing  specific  instructions when and how certain named noxious weeds are to be
 41    controlled. The individual notice shall also  contain  information  concerning
 42    the  right  to  appeal  pursuant  to  section  22-2408, Idaho Code. Individual
 43    notices shall be applicable only to the current growing season.
                                                                        
                                           2
                                                                        
  1        (4)  Whenever the landowner of any nonfederal land on which noxious  weeds
  2    are  present  has neglected or failed to initiate control as required pursuant
  3    to this chapter within five (5) working days from  receipt  of  an  individual
  4    notice  given  pursuant  to this section, the county having jurisdiction shall
  5    have proper control methods used on such land, including necessary destruction
  6    of crops, and shall advise the landowner of the cost incurred in    connection
  7    with  such  operation. The cost of any such control shall be at the expense of
  8    the landowner. If the costs have not been paid to the control authority within
  9    sixty (60) days, the control authority may direct that suit be  brought  in  a
 10    court  of  competent jurisdiction for the unpaid charges. On private lands, if
 11    unpaid for sixty (60) days or longer the amount of such expense shall become a
 12    lien upon the property; and thereafter the lien shall be subject to collection
 13    by the county by sale of the property in the same  manner  as  for  delinquent
 14    taxes.  Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to require satis-
 15    faction of the imposed obligation by the sale of property or to bar the appli-
 16    cation of any other available remedy.
 17        (5)  Amounts collected under the  provisions  of  this  section  shall  be
 18    deposited to the noxious weed fund of the county and shall be accounted for as
 19    prescribed  by  the  county  auditor. Disbursements from the noxious weed fund
 20    shall be made only for noxious weed control purposes.
 21        (6)  The county weed superintendent shall:
 22        (a)  Examine all land within the county for  the  purpose  of  determining
 23        whether the provisions of this chapter and rules of the director have been
 24        complied with; and
 25        (b)  Compile  data  and  submit  reports  as  the  director  or county may
 26        require; and
 27        (c)  Implement enforcement action as outlined in this chapter; and
 28        (d)  Consult, advise and provide direction on matters  pertaining  to  the
 29        most effective and most practical methods of noxious weed control; and
 30        (e)  Investigate or aid in the investigation and prosecution of any viola-
 31        tion of the provisions of this chapter; and
 32        (f)  Meet  certification  requirements as prescribed by the regulations of
 33        the director; and
 34        (g)  Make recommendations regarding establishment  of  special  management
 35        zones; and
 36        (h)  Make recommendations regarding establishment of cooperative weed man-
 37        agement areas; and
 38        (i)  Participate on weed control advisory committees to develop and imple-
 39        ment  noxious  weed  control  strategies  for  cooperative weed management
 40        areas, at the discretion of the county weed control authority.
                                                                        
 41        SECTION 2.  That Chapter 13, Title 50, Idaho Code, be,  and  the  same  is
 42    hereby  amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and des-
 43    ignated as Section 50-1335, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
                                                                        
 44        50-1335.  NOXIOUS WEED MANAGEMENT PLANS --  SUBMISSION  OF  PLANS  TO  THE
 45    COUNTY  CONTROL  AUTHORITY  -- RECORDING OF PLATS -- TITLE UNAFFECTED. (1) Any

 47    Code,  or in accordance with county ordinances adopted pursuant to chapter 38,
 48    title 31, Idaho Code, shall include, if noxious weeds as  defined  in  section
 49    22-2402,  Idaho Code, are present on any such plats, a noxious weed management
 50    plan which has been approved by the county control  authority  as  defined  in
 51    section 22-2402, Idaho Code.
 52        (2)  Pursuant  to  the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, prior
 53    to filing any plat of a subdivision the owner shall submit to the county  con-
                                                                        
                                           3

  2    The county control authority shall review such plan, in  accordance  with  the
  3    authority  provided  in  section 22-2405, Idaho Code, to determine its confor-
  4    mance with the requirements of chapter 24, title 22,  Idaho  Code.  Until  the
  5    county control authority has approved the noxious weed management plan submit-
  6    ted,  or  deems such a plan unnecessary, no person may offer for recording, or
  7    cause to be recorded, a plat of a subdivision.
  8        (3)  Upon approval by the county control authority of a noxious weed  man-
  9    agement  plan, or upon certification by the county control authority that such
 10    a plan is unnecessary, there shall be placed upon the face of every plat prior
 11    to it being recorded by the county clerk and recorder that such plats  are  in
 12    compliance with the provisions of this section.
 13        (4)  The  filing  and  recording  of a plat which does not comply with the
 14    provisions of this section shall in no way invalidate a title conveyed  there-
 15    under.
