Idaho Conservation League Legislation Update on SB 1085 - Weakening of testing requirments for chronic wasting disease

Elk, Deer and Moose at Risk
A hearing was held yesterday in the House Agriculture Affairs Committee on SB 1085, which puts Idaho’s wild elk, deer and moose at risk. Unfortunately, the committee has sent the bill to the House floor, which is the last stop before heading to the governor. Most of the testimony was in opposition to the bill. This bill would weaken the testing requirements for chronic wasting disease. Similar to mad cow disease, this devastating disorder is always fatal and there is no cure. This is your last chance, so please take action today to stop this bad bill!
