Idaho Code (Title 36)
Administrative Rules for IDFG (IDAPA 13)
Administrative Rules have the force and effect of law and as such, are subject to a comprehensive process that includes review and approval by the Idaho Legislature in order to become final and enforceable.
Rulemaking Process
All other rules passed by the Commission, such as legal equipment definitions, controlled hunt requirements, allowable method of take, and tag quotas are considered rules. Legislative approval is required and negotiated rulemaking should be followed when feasible.
The Idaho Fish and Game Commission is authorized to establish seasons and rules. Season setting does not require legislative approval. These are set during Commission meetings.
The Rules Brochures
Online rules brochures are created in PDF file format. They are produced to keep the online display as close as possible to the printed version.
Printed copies of the rules brochure can be picked up, without charge, at local license vendors or by calling 208-334-3700 to receive a copy by mail.
To view Idaho Fish and Game administrative rules and code, visit the Office of Administrative Rules on the Idaho Department of Administration website.
