RULE APPROVAL – SENATE HEALTH AND WELFARE COMMITTEE – States findings of the Legislature and provides that all temporary and pending rules of the Department of Health and Welfare, the Department of Environmental Quality, and the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses have been reviewed and approved by the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, with exceptions.

This resolution confirms that the Senate Health and Welfare Committee reviewed and approved most temporary rules from Idaho’s Department of Health and Welfare, Department of Environmental Quality, and Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses. It specifically excludes two rule sections: one governing physician assistant licensure (IDAPA 24.33.02, Section 100.) and one for pharmacy regulations (IDAPA 24.36.01, Section 200.). The resolution serves as formal confirmation of the committee’s review process under state law, with no new policy changes or direct impacts on citizens. It is a procedural step, not a substantive bill affecting regulations.
