Negotiated rulemaking is being initiated in compliance with Governor Little’s Executive Order No. 2020-01 for Zero-Based Regulation. In accordance with the executive order, each rule chapter must be reviewed based on a schedule established by the Division of Financial Management and with the intent to simplify and streamline rule language and reduce regulatory burden. This chapter is brought in conjunction with 13.01.04 to evaluate where language can be more appropriately incorporated.
The rulemaking concerns the taking of big game animals so that Idaho continues to have big game populations to support public use and enjoyment in the future. The rules promote public safety and proper techniques, manage social aspects of taking big game to provide a range of opportunities, balance different public interests and preferences, and manage resident/non-resident and outfitted/non-outfitted participation. The rules also address areas closed to hunting and depredation hunt tags.
