Legislative Bill Tracking
ICL was founded in 1973 to serve as the voice for conservation in the Idaho Statehouse, and for more than forty years we’ve played a role on issues that matter to you and families across the state. The Idaho Legislature considers hundreds of bills each session and many of those have an impact on Idaho’s air, water, wildlife, and communities. We represent our members by working with legislators, partners, and constituents to advance conservation goals.
