ID HJM014

Opposes any new federal national monument designations or further wilderness designations in Idaho without approval from both the United States Congress and the Idaho Legislature.

Cites that nearly 62 percent of Idaho land is federally owned and that ranching, agriculture, mining, forestry, and recreation contribute an estimated $13.5 billion annually to the state economy, all of which would be substantially impacted by land management changes.

References Idaho's 2006 Roadless Rule as a successful collaborative model managing over 9 million acres of federal backcountry, and expresses concern that unilateral use of the Antiquities Act would overturn this consensus-based agreement.

Urges Idaho's congressional delegation to introduce and support legislation opposing new monument or wilderness designations in Idaho without approval from Congress and the state legislature.

Requires that federal land decisions for Idaho be made through lawful coordination processes mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act, Federal Land Policy and Management Act, and National Forest Management Act, rather than through unilateral administrative action.
