H 91 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND WELFARE – Amends and repeals existing law to remove provisions that the Department of Health and Welfare has identified as obsolete or superfluous.

H 91 removes outdated provisions from Idaho’s health and welfare laws that the Department of Health and Welfare identified as obsolete or unnecessary. It repeals specific sections covering administrative procedures, reporting requirements, healthcare facility regulations, Medicaid programs, and public assistance rules. This bill streamlines the legal framework by eliminating redundant or outdated language without creating new policies or altering service delivery. The changes affect how the department manages its administrative systems and compliance requirements. The bill became effective July 1, 2025, after being signed by the Governor.
