“Hot Dog” Bill Heads for a Vote
Press Release
Representative Elaine Smith’s “Hot Dog” bill (HB 79) is headed to the House floor for a vote. The legislation was passed in committee by a 9-5 vote. The legislation would give first responders the ability to save an animal locked in a car during extreme temperatures. Rep. Smith hopes that this legislation will give first responders the opportunity to save the lives of Idaho animals. Under current law, if a first responder saves an animal from a car, they can be prosecuted for a crime. Rep. Smith’s proposed legislation would give a first responder legal immunity if they took action with the belief that they were saving a life. “The ‘hot dog’ bill is a necessary protection for our furry friends. Our first responders need to have the ability to save a life in an emergency. When they see a dog or cat who is in danger, they must have all the tools necessary to make the best decisions. Idaho’s first responders are among the best in the nation, we have to trust them to make the right choices.” “If an animal is freezing or burning to death, a first responder wants to take action. But, right now, they are threatened with being charged with a crime,” said Rep. Smith. “My legislation gives first responders the ability to take immediate action. Sometimes, acting quickly can be the difference between life and death for an animal.”

Union Pacific Railroad Bridge Replacement
As of Monday, February 18, US-30 west of Bliss to Interstate 84 will be closed while the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge undergoes replacement. Motorists traveling to Bliss via I-84 will need to use Exit 141. Construction work will include installment of a new box culvert as well as utility relocation. The new bridge structure will have an increased width to allow for larger vehicles to pass. Approximately 1.5 miles of US-30 will also be reconstructed as part of this project. Subject to weather conditions, work is expected to be complete this fall. The railroad will continue to be operational throughout construction. The Idaho Transportation Department is responsible for all interstates highways, state highways and U.S. routes. All other roads are under the jurisdiction of the local, city or county entity.
