Idaho Bills

States findings of the Legislature and requests federal intervention to ensure proper application of FLPMA.

The Idaho Legislature calls on the United States Congress to reaffirm the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) as the primary authority governing federal land management and land exchanges. A recent legal decision originating in Idaho threatens the predictability and stability of FLPMA's long-established framework, which is essential to effective land management in Idaho and throughout the West. This memorial calls on Congress to act expeditiously to reaffirm that FLPMA as the primary authority to manage federal public lands and prevent disruption to existing and future land exchanges.
