76-16-411 . Grazing permits to owners of land not controlled by state district.
(1)When any land is situated within the boundaries of a state district and is not leased or controlled by the state district and not surrounded by a legal fence, any person owning or controlling these lands has the right to obtain a grazing permit from the state district, the size of which must be determined by the carrying capacity of the land, full consideration being given for location of necessary stock water. The use of the permit is subject to all regulations by the state district.
(2)If the person owning or controlling the land declines to secure a permit or fails to lease the land to the state district at a fair lease rental and fails to fence the land at the person's expense, the person is not entitled to recover damages for trespass by stock grazing under permit, but the state district may not issue a permit to use the carrying capacity of the land.
