On SB 1232a, the second version of the bighorn sheep bill - the earlier one was vetoed, then the new one was introduced, then amended in the Senate, then sent to the House - Rep. Fred Wood, R-Burley, told the House, “I have to tell you that I have not found a single soul that is happy with this legislation. However, it is a compromise piece of legislation.” Several representatives spoke against the bill, which Rep. Phylis King, D-Boise, said “will only muddy the waters.” Others spoke in favor, including Rep. Pete Nielsen, R-Mountain Home, who said, “We need to vote for this and save a livelihood.” House Resources Chairman Bert Stevenson, R-Rupert, said the bill has “been worked on and worked on.” It passed on a 47-20 vote, and now goes to the governor.
