ID H0343

Declares that Canadian gray wolves introduced to Idaho in 1995 constitute a disaster emergency threatening public safety, economic activity, private property, livestock, and the ability to enjoy outdoor activities.

Authorizes the governor to issue executive orders and proclamations with the force of law if any of five conditions exist: disease risk to humans/livestock/pets, human-wolf conflict potential, livestock-wolf conflict potential, wolf population impacts exceeding 100 wolves on big game herds, or significant diminution in big game animal populations affecting hunting-based businesses.

Directs the Office of Species Conservation to initiate emergency proceedings per existing law when executive orders are issued, with persons able to challenge actions through the Idaho administrative procedure act appeals process.

Limits disaster emergency declarations to a maximum duration of one year, though the legislature may terminate them by concurrent resolution at any time; emergency ends when wolves are delisted with full state management restored or the threat no longer exists.

Requires executive orders to specify which conditions exist, identify threatened areas, describe planned actions including potential contracts with USDA-APHIS wildlife services, and be filed with the Office of Species Conservation, Department of Fish and Game, Secretary of State, and county sheriffs.
