Viva's JournalIdaho House panel introduces bill to nullify EPA
This seemed to slip under the radar. Can they legislate to pick and choose which federal agencies have agency over Idaho?
Here is a link to the bill - http://www.legislature.idaho.gov/legislation/2014/H0473.pdf
This was reported in the Idaho Statesman's blog back in February.
[House Bill 473, which was introduced by Republican Rep. Paul Shepherd of Riggins, comes in response to to the agencys requirement that miners who dredge the bottoms of Idaho rivers and streams where endangered salmon, steelhead and bull trout spawn, must get a permit. A week ago, while I was away, between 60 and 70 miners filled the Capitol auditorium at a hearing organized by the chairmen of the House and Senate resources committees.....His bill says EPA doesnt have authority to do anything because it is not in the U.S. Constitution and violates the true meaning and intent as given by the founders and ratifiers, and is declared to be invalid in the state of Idaho.
