Wednesday March 29, 2023 Idaho bill for Bear Lake Preservation Signed by Governor Brad Little at a ceremony
S1112 passed unanimously through both the
House and Senate |
This
signing sets into the law of Idaho a clear statement that Bear Lake should be
preserved for all generations to enjoy with all its beautiful and valuable
qualities.
This
seemingly small but hugely important addition to Chapter 43, Title 67 of the
Idaho Code brings Bear Lake into the fold with the other prized
and protected lakes of Idaho.
This
section will stand as a guidepost for future legislatures and administrations
of Idaho, to help them see that they stay the course leading to the
preservation of the natural character of the lake even while we use it to aid
irrigation production and power generation.
It
also indicates there is a part for you to play in achieving
the goals by calling out the need for collaboration among agencies and
stakeholders.
.
This
has been years in the making; setting the stage, helping people see the need,
developing trust and partnerships, finding the right words to put on paper and
finally guiding it through the legislative process.
We
send a heartfelt thanks to Senator Mark Harris, Representatives Josh Wheeler
and Kevin Andrus and all who assisted us along the way and through all the
years.
