Rep. Dan Emerys proposal to require owner's written consent for inclusion in land-use plans narrowly failed in the Idaho House by one vote after Rep. John Reardon briefly switched. The bill, backed by Rep. Lyman Winchester, faced opposition from Reardon and others who warned it could derail existing zoning and trigger broader land grabs. Emery argued current laws strip property rights without owner sign‑ups.
