Invasive species
INVASIVE SPECIES – Amends and adds to existing law to provide requirements for launch and transport of conveyances and to provide that a portion of annual revenue deposited in the invasive species fund may be made available to counties, cities, and other local entities for certain equipment and supplies.

RS31185 / S1322

This legislation amends Idaho Code § 22-1904 to further define "conveyance" as "retail or wholesale products, or water known to carry or have a reasonable possibility of carrying invasive species." Up to twenty percent of the invasive species fund's annual revenue is also to be made available by the department to counties, cities, or other local entities for equipment and supply costs necessary for the operation of watercraft inspection stations. Additionally, this legislation creates a new section of code requiring immediate removal of vegetation and water drainage from conveyances. Nonresidential vehicles must also carry an invasive species sticker and must be inspected at a watercraft inspection station prior to launch.

This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
