10 title 49, Idaho Code, is stopped, standing, or parked in an illegal or unau-
11 thorized manner within a state park and the operator cannot be identified
12 readily, the fact that the vehicle is registered or leased in the name of a
13 person shall be prima facie evidence that such person was in control of the

15 faction of the court the vehicle was driven and stopped, placed or parked by
16 an unauthorized person.
17 (2) The provisions of this section shall be enforced by commissioned
18 peace officers of the Idaho state police, qualified employees of the depart-
19 ment of parks and recreation authorized delegated with enforcement authority

RS 15393
Compliance with IDPR rules is achieved through appropriate
enforcement in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 67-4239,
Idaho Code. This section provides that the Director of IDPR may
issue citations for violations of Title 67, Chapters 42 (state
parks), 70 (safe boating act), 71 (recreational activities), and
75 (marine sewage disposal act). The Director may also delegate
this authority to qualified employees of the IDPR who have
successfully completed required training. This amendment is
designed to fix an incorrect reference to enforcement of IDPR
rules by commissioned peace officers of the Idaho state police,
as currently described in Sec. 67-4237, Idaho Code.
