"Cutting off public access to public lands by closing roads is a tactic embraced and encouraged by certain groups that would prefer to see public lands inaccessible and unused.

Senate Bill 1258 embraces this principle and takes steps to preserve Idahoans’ access to their public lands. It will ensure that what happened at Camp Bay in Bonner County can never happen again anywhere in Idaho.
