S 1122 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

OIL AND GAS – Amends existing law to revise a provision regarding the oil and gas conservation commission.

This bill amends Idaho's oil and gas conservation commission structure and authority. It requires the commission to include four appointed members with specific expertise (e.g., geoscience/engineering, mineral interest owners, land use specialists) and clarifies that local governments cannot prohibit oil/gas extraction or related infrastructure, though they may impose reasonable regulations for public health, safety, or property protection. The commission gains exclusive authority over oil/gas regulation, rescinding prior delegations to other local or state bodies. The changes take effect July 1, 2025, impacting oil/gas producers, local governments, and commission members.
