Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.

Permission needed to use commodity logos

Beginning July 1, 2026, commodity commissions and similar groups own their logos and certification marks. You must get written permission to use their trademark, brand, seal, or logo. Using these marks without permission is prohibited.

Fees for Idaho agriculture promotion services

Beginning July 1, 2026, the Department can run programs to promote and certify Idaho farm products. These services are voluntary. The Department may charge fees tied to the service. Collected fees go to the Agricultural Department Inspection Fund. Rulemaking must follow Idaho’s state rulemaking law.

Free sale certificates for Idaho exporters

Beginning July 1, 2026, the Department issues certificates of free sale for Idaho-grown or processed products. The certificate says the product is sold statewide and meets Idaho health and sanitary laws. Exporters may apply. The application fee is set by the Department and is no more than $100. The Department may ask for your most recent state, federal, or third-party health inspection records and keeps them for one year. Getting a certificate does not remove other rules or inspections. On July 1, 2026, the old IDAPA 02.01.05 rules are repealed. The statute controls how certificates work.
