H 217 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

IDAHO ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE ACT – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the sunset review of administrative rules.

This bill revises Idaho's process for reviewing administrative rules that are set to expire. It requires state agencies to submit detailed reports before renewing rules, explaining why the rules remain necessary, including cost-benefit analysis and whether the rules should instead be integrated into Idaho Code. The legislature will review these reports, considering factors like update frequency, publication costs, and enforcement expenses. The changes apply to all administrative rule chapters in effect by July 2026, with reviews scheduled staggered between 2026 and 2034, then repeated every eight years. This directly affects state agencies creating rules and the legislature conducting reviews.
