HOUSE BILL 496
Law
Tribes, forest land, federal gov
PROPERTY – Amends existing law to exempt federally recognized Indian tribes from the definition of “foreign government,” such that certain restrictions regarding real property will not apply to them, and to include forest land as one of the kinds of property that a foreign government may not purchase.
RS31050 / H0496
Idaho law prohibits a foreign government or foreign state-controlled enterprise from purchasing, acquiring or holding any controlling interest in agriculture land, water rights, mining claims or mineral rights in the State of Idaho. This clarifies that forest land is included and that federally recognized Indian Tribes are not foreign governments.
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.
