Idaho Range Protection Improvements in effect
The enhanced range protection provisions that were enacted by the Idaho legislature this year go into effect today.
 
Idaho Sport Shooters Alliance worked very hard with NRA-ILA, our friends in the legislature, and YOU to push these improvements forward.
 
Please take a look at the improved range protection law at: http://www3.state.id.us/idstat/TOC/55026KTOC.html 
 
The law now specifically allows your club to (among other things) add members, activities, or allow law enforcement use of your range without worrying about potentially having your protection from noise lawsuits stripped away because of a "substantial change in use". I think you will all agree that this is a HUGE improvement over the old range protection law.
 
In addition, those clubs that are non-conforming uses under local zoning codes will not lose that status because they, for instance, raise their berms or make other safety improvements.
 
These improvements are going to keep ranges open in the face of increasing encroachment by development.
