flag Idaho proposes constitutional ban on selling federal lands, keeping them in trust for education and public use.

flag Idaho State Senator Ben Adams has introduced a constitutional amendment to prevent the state from selling public lands acquired from the federal government, aiming to place them in a perpetual trust managed by the State Board of Land Commissioners. flag The trust would use revenues for land maintenance, county compensation, public access improvements, and K-12 education. flag The proposal, which passed unanimously out of the Senate State Affairs Committee, requires a two-thirds legislative vote to reach the 2026 ballot and a simple majority to pass. flag It excludes Idaho’s 2.5 million acres of endowment land, which remain eligible for sale. flag The amendment reflects growing bipartisan concern over protecting public lands amid national debates on federal land management.
