The local government may regulate all mapped and unmapped floodplains within its jurisdiction. Nothing in this act shall prohibit a local government from adopting more restrictive standards than those contained in this chapter. If not otherwise exempt from approval, a flood control district’s conduct of a \"flood fight,\" as defined in section 42-3103, Idaho Code, shall not require prior local government approval provided all such approvals are obtained within a reasonable time after the imminent flooding event has ended.","path":["TITLE 46 MILITIA AND MILITARY AFFAIRS","CHAPTER 10 STATE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS ACT"],"source_url":"https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/title46/t46ch10/sect46-1022/","current_through":"2026 Legislative Session","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-04T11:22:10Z","sha256":"cf2a670d7ee595329e9df8a7b355e1d85c84a2346c5d4c97ed26b23a3e8f207f","source_id":"us-id","stale":false,"prev":"us-id/idaho-code-46-1021","next":"us-id/idaho-code-46-1023"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
