IDAHO ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE ACT – Amends existing law to remove provisions regarding legislative review of rules and to revise provisions regarding legislative review of rules.
Idaho's H 223 amends the state's Administrative Procedure Act to remove specific provisions about legislative review of agency rules while revising other aspects of the review process. The bill eliminates language requiring committees to review rules for consistency with legislative intent and modifies how the legislature can approve or reject rules through concurrent resolutions. It also updates effective dates, stating that approved rules will take effect on July 1 of the legislative session year (starting January 1, 2024), unless otherwise specified. This change primarily affects state agencies creating rules and the legislature's role in reviewing those rules. The bill does not alter the core process where the legislature can reject rules deemed inconsistent with enabling statutes.
