HOUSE BILL 608
Law
Agricultural protection areas
AGRICULTURE – Adds to existing law to provide for agricultural protection areas.
RS31421 / H0608
This legislation provides landowners with an additional option when considering protecting agricultural land in the state. The legislation adds a new chapter to the Idaho Local Land Use Planning Act that would provide the legislative authority for county governments to receive applications from willing landowners to establish a land use designation, known as an Agricultural Protection Area. The process to review and consider applications is outlined in the legislation.
There is no fiscal impact to the state government. The bill authorizes county governments to assess fees to applicants to cover the administrative costs of processing and offset any fiscal impact.
