Revised bighorn sheep bill passes Senate and House

S1232aa: Bighorn sheep bill revised: Passed the Senate and the House.
This bill rewrites the vetoed bighorn sheep bill and adds a section that requires IDFG to develop a state management plan to maintain a self-sustaining population of bighorn sheep. The plan is required to take into account the existing state and federal grazing allotments. The plan will outline best management practices which permittees must implement in order to make the risk of disease transmission between bighorn and domestic sheep acceptable.
