8 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
9 SECTION 1. That Section 36-2204, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
10 amended to read as follows:
11 36-2204. BOUNDARIES. The exterior boundaries of such shooting preserve
12 shall be clearly defined and posted with appropriate signs erected around the
13 perimeter at intervals of one hundred fifty (150) feet or less if unfenced
14 unless specified otherwise by commission rule. If the boundary of the shooting
15 preserve is fenced, such signs must be posted at intervals of not more than
16 five hundred (500) feet unless specified otherwise by commission rule.
17 SECTION 2. That Section 36-2205, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
18 amended to read as follows:
19 36-2205. GAME BIRDS. (a) Game which may be hunted under this act shall be
20 confined to artificially propagated upland game birds.
21 (b) A minimum release of two hundred (200) upland game birds of each spe-
22 cies to be hunted on each shooting preserve must be made on the licensed area
23 during the shooting preserve season.
24 (c) Artificially propagated upland game birds released on a shooting pre-
25 serve must be:
26 (1) Marked by clipping the terminal joint of a single toe on either foot
27 as evidenced by a healed scar; or
28 (2) Banded with a leg band of a type not removable without breaking or
29 mutilating, such tag to be supplied by the fish and game department at
30 cost. One (1) such band shall be securely affixed to one (1) leg of each

41 wild birds harvested on shooting preserves will be subject to the laws appli-
2
1 cable to such wild birds and related rules and proclamations of the Idaho fish
2 and game commission.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 13535
This bill would authorize the Idaho Fish and Game Commission to
specify signing requirements for shooting preserves by
administrative rule. The Commission and Department have been
contacted by several shooting preserve operators who would like to
discuss different methods of signing. However, the Commission and
Department are unable to address these requests because the
required signing is set by statute. This bill would allow the
Commission to address the concerns of the shooting preserve
operators. If the Commission does not adopt new signing
requirements by rule, then the requirements set by statute will
remain in effect. This bill also proposes that the Idaho Fish and
Game Commission be authorized to adopt by rule additional methods
for the marking of artificially propagated upland game birds for
use at licensed shooting preserves. The statute currently specifies
two alternative methods for the marking of such birds. Several
shooting preserve operators have contacted the Commission and
Department concerning additional alternative marking methods for
birds to be released at their licensed facilities. This bill will
authorize the Commission to adopt additional acceptable bird
marking methods by rule.
FISCAL IMPACT
